点评:We just recently had our first experience with Egan houseboats. The positive, the staff were friendly, the check in and on board training was quick, and the digital GPS maps for navigating is very helpful for getting around the lakes.
We were disappointed with several things that really impacted on our trip overall. First we had to switch boats after we got settled in and unpacked due to a broken fridge on the first boat. Annoying, but not the end of the world especially since the first fridge was also smelly a had mold. The second night we had to park the boat early because of motor issues. Staff was responsive when we called in and the motor was quickly fixed, but not till the the next morning as it started having issues to close to 5pm. We were told to park the boat till the mechanic could look at it the next day. This was frustrating as we had only booked the four day trip.
There continued to be an ongoing struggle to get the motor to fire up which was stressful for my husband. The motor rarely fired up right away. The boats appear very old.
We were super disappointed in the kayak set- up! We paid for two kayak rentals but the kayaks were put on the roof of the houseboat and we had no way to get them down or to get them back up. We had thought the kayaks would be towed or stored in a much more accessible way. We had really looked forward to kayaking around the little islands but despite paying almost $200 for the kayak rentals we could not use them. There really should have been some warning about this setup at booking.
Another thing we should add, is that it can be a struggle to fish off the boat directly given the overhang on each end of the boat. Just something to keep in mind if you want to do a lot of fishing. We rented the 40' boat and found it fusterating to fish from.
翻译:我们最近才第一次体验了 Egan 船屋。积极的一面是,工作人员很友好,登记入住和船上培训都很快,数字 GPS 地图对于游览湖泊非常有帮助。
我们对几件事情感到失望,这些事情确实影响了我们的整个旅行。首先,由于第一艘船上的冰箱坏了,我们在安顿下来并打开行李后不得不换船。很烦人,但也不是世界末日,尤其是因为第一台冰箱也很臭,有霉菌。第二天晚上,我们不得不因为发动机问题而提前停船。我们打电话时工作人员反应迅速,发动机很快就修好了,但直到第二天早上才修好,因为到下午 5 点左右它开始出现问题。我们被告知要把船停在那里,直到第二天机械师来检查。这很令人沮丧,因为我们只预订了四天的行程。
我们一直在努力让发动机启动,这让我丈夫很紧张。发动机很少能马上启动。船看起来很旧。
我们对皮划艇的设置非常失望!我们支付了两艘皮划艇的租金,但皮划艇被放在船屋的屋顶上,我们无法将它们放下或放回原位。我们原本以为皮划艇会被拖走或以更方便的方式存放。我们真的很期待在小岛上划皮划艇,但尽管为皮划艇租赁支付了近 200 美元,我们却无法使用它们。预订时真的应该对这种设置有所警告。
我们应该补充的另一件事是,由于船的两端都有悬垂部分,直接从船上钓鱼可能很困难。如果你想钓很多鱼,请记住这一点。我们租了 40 英尺的船,发现在船上钓鱼很烦人。
