Read some helpful reviews of Lake Tillery Self Storage, 844 River Road, Mt Gilead, NC 27306, shared by real renters with genuine experiences and honest opinions.

Absolutely wonderful experience with Nick and his team. Our grandchildren (and daughter-in-law) had never been tubing. We rented a 22 foot pontoon boat which easily held the 7 of us and a two person tube. Everyone had an absolute blast out on Tillery with many memories made. A phone and necklace were inadvertantly left on the boat and the team found it all and we were able to retrieve everything. Just a perfect day! Thank you all. ... Read more

I had a great experience with Lake Tillery Boat Rentals. The pontoon rental options are fantastic, with beautiful boats that make for a perfect day on the water. The prices are great and their staff went above and beyond to ensure we had everything we needed. If you’re looking to rent a boat on Lake Tillery this summer, I highly recommend checking them out. ... Read more

Incredible day out on Lake Tillery with the Fam! Had a friend in from Cali and she was incredibly impressed with the beauty and calming effect of the lake. We rented the "Big Beauty" the Party Boat and she was perfect for us. Ben our Dock Attendant was knowledgeable and very attentive to our needs. If you're looking for a boat rental and some beautiful lake scenery, then look no further than Lake Tillery Boat Rentals. The McCarthy/Jackson Clan cannot wait for our next lake trip and boat rental from these folks. - Skipper Dave ... Read more

While I would use this company again I would give it about 3 stars. The boats are advertised as new but in July the one we rented had issues. The staff took over an hour to get the line of folks on the water. During the week. He refused assistance from other staff. We had issues with putting the boat in neutral. The anchor didn’t fit the boat and wouldn’t anchor us in 15’ of water. Also the shade leg kept popping out. Brought this to staffs attention and was told the right anchor tears up the seats. I spoke with Jay. He said they were changing boat companies because of the shade issue and was to check my claims out and call back the next day. I never heard back. So while the day was lovely we couldn’t fish as planned, struggled to keep a shade leg in place, had safety issues and felt unheard by management. Hoping it was a one time bad day or something because it’s only 5 miles from my house and super convenient. Edit: I see there was finally a response. Weeks after. 1) I wasn’t there on a holiday I was there the week after. Assistance was offered by other employees and Nickie refused assistance increasing our wait to get on the water. 2) no boat should go out without a proper anchor. Your seats mean nothing to my families safety. My father owned a rental store for over 20 years. I worked for him and completely understand rentals. 3) Jay promised me a follow up return call and I never got one. But clearly there is time for follow up because you all did it publicly on my review. Although the info I requested is still missing. ... Read more

These guys were really awesome all the way. Nick was extremely helpful and responsive. The pontoon boat we rented worked great and the helpers were super helpful in setting us up and getting us going. The lake is really fun. I dont know about pricing as I've not done this a lot but it was the 3rd of July and a Saturday... all in all would definitely do it again. ... Read more

We had an amazing time with our rental and are looking forward to another day out before summer ends! The staff was super helpful and super friendly from easy check in to everyone being almost excited to ask how our trip was when we came back in. Even talking to Nick(?) On the customer service number was easy and he was super nice before our rental! It was our first time renting/driving a pontoon but they helped us feel comfortable. Their rates were the lowest in the area for lake boat rentals and I was pleased to hear they offer a first responder discount (great reminder for next time!) Thanks for making a memorable day for us!! ... Read more

I guess the cost was reasonable, cheaper than Lake Norman and the family and friends had a great time on the lake all day. The boat gave us no problems and navigating the lake was easy. Definitely something we'll consider doing again. For the company, I suggest adding about another ten feet to the anchor rope, one spot we anchored at, not too far off shore, was almost deeper than the rope was long. I had a challenge getting it secured properly. ... Read more
