Lakeshore Marina
Written By: A.J. Stewart | Issue: 2018/09 - September
As you come around Lake Glenville, there’s a little green shack tucked under the shade trees just before Hamburg Baptist Church. That little green shack is the home of the Plateau’s only full-service concierge marina, Lakeshore Marina. Unlike the sprawling complex and full staff that is Signal Ridge, Lakeshore Marina is nothing more than a cozy little dock and the welcoming smiles of owners Regina and Chris Hunter. Lakeshore Marina may be small, but what they lack in size they make up for in their generosity and exceptional service.
“You have to get into the mind of the traveler,” says Regina. “We provide every service you could ask for.”
And she’s not exaggerating. The level of personal service they offer is unmatched. From the moment you pull into their parking lot, Regina and her family are there to greet you and carry your belongings to the boat. From there, you can take the boat out for a fun filled afternoon on the lake with one of their tubes or kneeboards, or you can take one of their guided tours. They offer tubing, history, and sightseeing tours of Lake Glenville. If you’d rather see the lake without the roar of a motor, you can take one of their canoes, kayaks, or paddleboards for a spin.
Opened in 2000, Chris and Regina started with just one boat. Over the last 18 years, they have slowly expanded their fleet to feature four boats and three jet skis. But the exceptional level of service doesn’t end there. Chris and Regina’s generosity extends further to offer boat tours to the international students working at Old Edwards Inn who might not otherwise have the opportunity to experience Lake Glenville. The Hunters also donate boat rentals to local fundraisers.
2018 has been a busy year for all of us and Lakeshore Marina is no exception.
“This has been our busiest season so far,” says Regina. “We’re just here to please.” Lakeshore Marina is open April through October from 8:00 A.M. to dusk, depending on the weather. For more information call (828) 743-9998 or visit lakeshoremarina-nc.com to book your next adventure.
