Boathouse weekend
The boathouse was modern yet cosy, clean and well-appointed. Slightly hard to find due to odd numbering of lots. Too bad it rained all weekend but views ans setting were superb. Kitchen adequate for us to prepare all our meals. We got around the wifi issues with a hotspot. We would highly recommend this boathouse to friends.

Gorgeous Views of Skeleton Lake
The home is located on one of the most beautiful parts of Skeleton Lake and has an expansive deck that makes it so relaxing to take in the views and also very easy to access the water. The accommodations were lovely and had everything we needed for a wonderful long weekend away from the city. Also, to the extent we had questions, our host was extremely responsive. I highly recommend this property.

Quiet, Comfortable and Beautiful
This is an idyllic spot for gazing at the scenery during the day and stars at night. A perfectly cozy set up with a glorious deck jutting out over the lake. This boat house is beyond charming and has all of the provisions needed for quiet respite from the city. Can't wait to revisit.

A lovely weekend!
This property was everything we wanted for a relaxing long weekend getaway. The boathouse is stunning and looks even better in person! The boathouse is well equipped with everything you would need for your stay. We spent as much time as we could each day on the lovely deck overlooking the water. Lorrie was extremely helpful and responsive. We would love to come back for another stay!
