Must must recommended.Posted on Google Marina CunninghamTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. We hired bikes last minute for the day, one day before, in July so low season. Our email inquiry to the hosts was answered the same day. When we picked up the bikes, Will met us and set us up with bikes and helmets and made some last minute adjustments to the bikes for us. Will was very friendly and easy to chat with and his service is amazing! Highly recommended for bike or kayak rentals in Paynesville.Posted on Google Jeanette MillerTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google.
