Quiet, peaceful, serene, and an out of the box fun experience. Community washrooms, very secure, safe and clean, but dont forget to take a towel! Would and hope to stay here again. ##### Melissa M.

May 28, 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Beautiful Getaway Far more enjoyable than any hotel - you get a personalized sunset view from the upper decks of the houseboat. It's like camping, but even better without the camp-bugs. The bathrooms are at the end of the dock, but are spacious and clean. We came on a holiday weekend, so had special treats of fireworks visible to the west, a festival downtown, delicious food everywhere - and even dock parties with live music one night and a DJ another. Very relaxing atmosphere and we will be back! ##### William G. Stayed 2 nights in May 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Aimy A. Jul 9, 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Excellent hospitality We had a wonderful experience! It was my birthday weekend and the property management made it a great one! Friday night they grilled out for all of us and they even got me a birthday cake. It was so sweet. They had karaoke and music on the dock as well. Saturday night they fried walleye fish! We really enjoyed watching the sunset on top of the house boat. It was nice being so close to the beach. I give it a 10 out of 10! ##### Aimy A. Stayed 2 nights in Jul 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Jenny Sep 28, 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, amenities, property conditions & facilities, communication I’ll be honest I wasn’t sure what I’d be getting myself into because I’ve never done anything like this before but, it was my birthday and I wanted something different. This exceeded my expectations and it’s hands down one of the coolest things that I’ve ever done. The property and bathroom facilities were clean and well maintained. Communication was great with the owners/host. They really are passionate about bringing their love of the outdoors to others and I could tell that they were genuinely for me to have my little adventure. I wouldn’t hesitate to do it again. Oh, and I forgot to mention the sunsets and sunrises are AMAZING!! The pictures definitely don’t do it justice. I mean I honestly don’t have a negative thing to say about the property, owners, or experience. ##### Jenny Stayed 2 nights in Sep 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Chay C. Oct 13, 2022 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Fun experience, something different! We really enjoyed our stay for the weekend. It was a unique experience for sure. One thing we were not prepared for was how windy it got at night time. You could definitely feel the boat moving which unless you're a heavy sleeper will keep you up at nighttime. The bed was really comfortable, and everything was as is in the photos. It was so nice of the renters to leave snacks and coffee as well. For 2 people the property was perfect especially if you like the outdoors and camping. It felt like camping on the water. The shower house was just a short drive-you could definitely walk but we were staying in October and it's a little chilly. Overall we really enjoyed staying! Definitely would have preferred a warmer month so you can enjoy the top level in the sunshine. Thanks for a great stay! ##### Chay C. Stayed 2 nights in Sep 2022
