May 7, 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, location #### NOT HANDICAP FRIENDLY PROS…..Houseboat was cute, well furnished, kitchen was outfitted w/what you would need. Beautiful view, quite peaceful. Perfect for young couple…CONS…..NOT for anyone with any physical handicaps and I wouldn’t recommend for families with children. Bedroom upstairs and can ONLY access through the outside spiral staircase. There is no fishing from the pier or the boat, entrance to the boat is by ramp w/a 45 degree angle during our stay. The sofa is very uncomfortable for sleeping. Barbecue pit upstairs so food, dishes, everything must be brought up on spiral staircase. We stayed one nite and had to leave. ##### Claudia S. Stayed 3 nights in May 2025 ### 2/10 Terrible #### Matt D. Apr 21, 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, location Disliked: Check-in, communication, listing accuracy #### Double check your reservation! I booked this property June 1 of 2023. My wife and I called the day we were supposed to check in (Friday April 19) we hadn’t received any arrival instructions. VRBO was confirmed with reservation ID and Property ID. 4 hrs on the phone with VRBO and the property management company. And long story short the property management company didn’t have our reservation and double booked over us. VRBO and the proper management company left us high and dry. Definitely don’t recommend. Instead stay at the house boat next door. Far better set up and owner Kim couldn’t have been nicer and more accommodating. ##### Matt D. Stayed 2 nights in Apr 2024 ### 8/10 Good #### Bill D.

The boat offers fantastic views of Doctor's lake from the living area as well as the bedroom. The houseboat's amenities lacked nothing for our stay, we are very appreciative of the fact that the Houseboat was pet friendly.We hope to stay there again. ##### Bill D.

Oct 31, 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Houseboat Stay We have never been on a houseboat before and was really looking forward to our 3 night stay. The houseboat is really nice with all amenities. The lay out is a bit funky. Bedroom is upstairs with an outside entrance. Couch downstairs is second bed, didn’t sleep on it so don’t know how comfy that would be. We lost all water, through no fault of the owners and only got to stay one night. Owners graciously refunded 2 nights money. I would book again, very close to family. ##### Gwen C. Stayed 3 nights in Oct 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Jen K. Mar 10, 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### A taste of paradise This was such a cool experience. Being right on the water with magnificent sunsets was priceless. We didn’t realize the bedroom had to be accessed from the outside, but it was worth it. Would highly recommend and we are looking forward to future stays. The boat does bob in the water sometimes, so if you’re affected by sea sickness, bring some Dramamine. It was awesome, and they accepted our well behaved fur babies. ##### Jen K.
