Stayed in the RV unit on the end and kept our boat at the marina. Great location, safe, comfortable, friendly. Good amenities, able to get gas for the boat right there, stations to clean fishing, bath houses, and many different cabins and types of lodging Beautiful sunset views and great fishing!

The owners. I think there is more to the story of the problem with renting a boat. These people were great to myself and the guys we were there with. I recaperted my bunkboards on my bass boat and they even took the bad ones away. They couldn't have been nicer. Great place to stay. And very clean.

Wanted to rent a boat for the day as advertised (7 am to 5 pm). We showed up before 7 to rent a boat but nobody was around and nobody answered the callbox. We walked back to the office which shows hours of 8 to 5, but a woman came to the door and took care of us (discovered on the website that she was the owner). She said she could get us a boat but it wouldn't be ready until about 8:15 am.
We came back at 8:15 and it was almost ready. We had to go over some paperwork with a guy named JIm. Despite it being 8:30 am, the contract price was the same (for less time on the boat) so we asked if he could throw in the towables. He asked "Why would I do that?" and shut down the transaction telling us that today is not the day to quibble over $30 - he had mentioned that he had a bad morning. He was done with us!
Any respectful business would've automatically accommodated the customer if it couldn't meet the advertised claim. It seemed reasonable to ask for some kind of an accommodation (it wasn't about the money, it was the principle). He could've said no (as he did) and said "take it or leave it," but instead he was so offended that we had the audacity to ask that he ended the deal completely. So we had to go back and tell the 9 kids they couldn't go boating on their vacation.

Traveled up from NJ with my young boy and Chris the owners wife told us we could dock our boat in deeper water due to heavy algae issues. The husband Brad walked over and took my boat off the dock and parked it in the algae slop again. Needless to say he wigged out on me and actually shouted in my face to the point of I guess trying to embarrass me and my little boy. Long story short I packed up my gear, boat and son due to the fact that I was told if I didn't like the situation I could leave...Guess what that's what I did and never returned. Found a much nicer atmosphere near by. Terrible man should not be running a camp/resort he needs mental help from a professional.

We rent here for each summer during the last three years. The owners and staff are very accomodating and personable. Evidently one reviewer caught a staff member on a bad day and told the world. We love it here and the owners keep updating and improving. Docks are easy access and fees reasonable. You are close to restaurants and bars and downtown Fair Haven. It has been a perfect place for us to spend our summers and we have pretty much tried them all.

We have stayed here 2 summers now for a week each time. We rented the "Big House" because there were a lot of us. Three generations to be exact. This house has 4 bedrooms, 3 bathrooms, living room, dining room and a huge kitchen. Everything you need is there. We like it because we can cook all our meals and just go out for a few meals. It has a nice front porch with plenty of seating so many can sit out there at the same time. The side yard has a fire pit, a picnic table and plenty of chairs for everyone to gather around the fire. There's plenty of things to do and see in Fair Haven. The State Park is very close and has a wonderful beach on Lake Ontario. The downtown area has many shops with local artist paintings, handmade jewelry, T-shirts, hats, sweatshirts, and other soveniers to take back home with you. Don't miss the ice cream store on Main Street, don't know the name but you can't miss it, there's a big ice cream cone in front of it. They have more flavors than you can taste in a week. We tried! The Sterling Cidery, on Richmond Ave, has great flights of their most popular hard ciders. Relaxing to sit outside in the yard and sip cider. If you have the chance drive over to Oswego, about 20 minutes away, and eat at Rudy's. All kinds of great seafood. You can sit outside to eat right next to Lake Ontario.
The owners of the Anchor Resort are very nice people and work hard to keep their place in tip top shape. They are very approachable and are more than happy to help you with whatever you need. There are lots of cabins that can be rented and some are even pet friendly. We love going there.

I saw the poor review and had to say we had a completely different experience. We rented a pontoon boat for the day and everything was ready clean in excellent condition. The staff provided us with maps advice and pointers about the uniqueness of the bay.
