Jun 17, 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy This is our second time renting a floating home and we enjoyed our stay. This floating home is on a small canal. The inside of the home was wonderful with great beds and space. The outside of the home needed a good power wash and clean up. Swallow nests make a large mess on the deck and lots of spider webs on the windows. Also make sure everyone in your party can sleep through train noise as there is a crossing behind the home with train whistles every 30 minutes throughout the night. We really liked all the wildlife and watching the neighbor houses fishing. Parking was great and there are plenty of restaurants within a couple miles of the house. Overall it was a great experience, so much better than a hotel. I added a couple photos of the neighbors house looking down the canal. ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/a91b103b-71c6-455e-a8b4-3c578fc2b3a1-1750172846049.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/6a3b28d6-7e77-4a3e-9d43-3b6fe057b6c6-1750172846313.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ##### Rose T.

Aug 6, 2024 Liked: Check-in, communication, listing accuracy #### Adorable inside The idea of a floating house intrigued our family and the concept was amazing. The house itself was big enough for us and everyone had their own space!! The inside of the house was a lot nicer than the outside. The property manager was easygoing!!! Be advised there are two train tracks that have trains coming and going 24/7 but other than that the place was amazing!! ##### brianna k.

Dog friendly?? Had to walk him up to the dock to grass area because it was just deck around the boat house. He people were very friendly there. The carpet and kitchen floor needed replacing. The house was well stocked with everything. Did enjoy watching the wild animals. ##### Melody M. Stayed 6 nights in Apr 2024 ### 8/10 Good #### William C. Jul 15, 2024 Liked: Check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Slattery family get together the inside worked out perfectly. The bugs were a problem and the decks weren't swept off of bugs ore cobb webs, also if we wanted to use the kayaks we didn't know how to inflate them. ##### William C.

Jun 24, 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Great Time We went to this property as a local staycation (we all live in Portland). The house was clean and nice. The location is beautiful. We went to the Vancouver Farmer's market which was great and then headed out to the river. We were able to board our paddle boards and kayaks right off the property. They had two kayaks and life jackets available for us to use which was great. I had communication with the property manager and it was great. Extremely responsive. For the price, this place is wonderful. We will definitely be going back. ##### Jennifer D.

Amazing views, property, amenities, setup, love it all. Perfect for alone or family or a gathering. The whole area is like a gift. Kayak off the boat ramp, large firepit nearby. Great for family or entertaining. Little stores and food super near. Fish off the porch, top patio would be the best summer day hangout. Can't wait to come back again. Parking spot is behind the garbage can shed, purple sign. Neighbors were kind. This place had everything. Beautiful upon Beautiful. ##### Adrienne ### 10/10 Excellent #### Blanca A. Jul 31, 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### RELAXING RETREAT! This house is very well equipped all over! Super clean place with everything you can think of on hand. It was such a comfortable stay and I wish we wouldn’t have had so many plans so we could’ve enjoyed the house more. Rained a bit but didn’t experience any problems with leaks inside the house. The master bedroom and bathroom were super spacious and the other rooms a very good size. The house has seating areas all throughout inside and out. Everything was in working condition for us. The kitchen was well stocked with condiments, utensils, pots and mostly everything needed to cook our meals. This place is “Friendly-Town”. We felt very safe and saw people of all ages around the property, all so very approachable and always seemed happy to see us. We had great communication with Jodi, the owner’s sister who manages the rental. Shout out to the owners and Jodi, who made this trip extra special for my kids by making sure they had an extra form of entertainment for the water since the kayaks on the pics had been thrown out. ##### Blanca A. Stayed 5 nights in Jun 2024 ### 2/10 Terrible #### bev p. May 4, 2024 Disliked: Cleanliness, location, listing accuracy #### Dump Location is only positive remark i can give, beautiful river & lovely birds, fowl & animals to enjoy. Unit was filthy, roof leaked, we contacted owner & supposedly nothing could be done so bowls of water had to be placed around to keep entire living area from being soaked. Bowls had to be dumped every 4-6 hours! Im pretty sure a wetvac could have removed the water & repairs could gave been done. Carpet had disgusting pet stains everywhere, floors didnt look as if theyd been swept or scrubbed for years. Mouse & rat droppings in kitchen cupboard. Window in one of the bedrooms had the screen partially on & a pound of disgusting dead flies, spiders & webs, scared my daughter so bad she was unable to sleep! ##### bev p. Stayed 6 nights in Apr 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Karen G. Apr 30, 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Charming and Quirky Just what we wanted: a spacious amount of room for 4 people, an unusual location while still convenient to Portland, and a responsive host. It's more "house" than "boat," but it's located on a pretty little stretch of water with a small current. We loved watching the geese family, heron and beaver across the way. We weren't expecting train tracks to be so close, or the trains so plentiful, but it soon added to the charm of the place. Access is easy, with one reserved parking spot. Others living in houseboats on the dock are friendly and welcoming. We were comfortable and refreshed at the end of our trip. ##### Karen G. Stayed 4 nights in Apr 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Michelle C. Apr 7, 2025 ##### Michelle C. Stayed 7 nights in Mar 2025 ### 6/10 Okay #### Pia Aug 25, 2024 Liked: Amenities, communication The house is spacious and has some modern updates. The location on the water gives access to launch right from your stay and see some wild life. While that expectedly comes with mosquitos outside of the stay, we entered the house full of cob webs and many spiders with previously squashed bugs over the walls and floors. Also, for noise sensitive renters the train blowing its whistle going by regularly day and night should not be underestimated. With a bit more attention to cleanliness and the spider situation dealt with, we would stay again. For parking, stick to the hosts instructions rather than neighbors trying to give different advice. ##### Pia Stayed 3 nights in Aug 2024 ## Expedia's Latest Trends ### Hotels > [Silver Reef Casino Resort](https://www.expedia.ca/Bellingham-Hotels-Silver-Reef-Casino-Resort.h16231932.Hotel-Information) > > [Red Lion Hotel Port Angeles Harbor](https://www.expedia.ca/Port-Angeles-Hotels-Red-Lion-Hotel-Port-Angeles-Harbor.h26694.Hotel-Information) > > [Hampton Inn & Suites Leavenworth](https://www.expedia.ca/Leavenworth-Hotels-Hampton-Inn-Suites-Leavenworth.h19979907.Hotel-Information) > > [La Quinta Inn & Suites by Wyndham Auburn](https://www.expedia.ca/Tacoma-Hotels-La-Quinta-Inn-Suites-By-Wyndham-Auburn.h4735800.Hotel-Information) > > [Veranda Beach Cottages](https://www.expedia.ca/Oroville-Hotels-Veranda-Beach-Cottages.h36653077.Hotel-Information) > > [Hampton Inn & Suites Burlington](https://www.expedia.ca/Mount-Vernon-Hotels-Hampton-Inn-Suites-Burlington.h1500732.Hotel-Information) > > [Semiahmoo Resort Golf & Spa, Trademark Collection by Wyndham](https://www.expedia.ca/Bellingham-Hotels-Semiahmoo-Resort-Golf-Spa.h13986.Hotel-Information) > > [Little Creek Casino Resort](https://www.expedia.ca/Olympia-Hotels-Little-Creek-Casino-Resort.h5490123.Hotel-Information) > > [Legends Casino Hotel](https://www.expedia.ca/Toppenish-Hotels-Legends-Casino-Hotel.h64169765.Hotel-Information) > > [Best Western Plus Mountain View Auburn Inn](https://www.expedia.ca/Tacoma-Hotels-Best-Western-Plus-Mountain-View-Auburn-Inn.h5539311.Hotel-Information) > > [Best Western Plus Arlington/Marysville](https://www.expedia.ca/Everett-Hotels-Best-Western-Plus-ArlingtonMarysville.h7985203.Hotel-Information) > > [Holiday Inn Express & Suites Burlington by IHG](https://www.expedia.ca/Mount-Vernon-Hotels-Holiday-Inn-Express-Suites-Burlington.h281593.Hotel-Information) > > [Icicle Village Resort](https://www.expedia.ca/Leavenworth-Hotels-Icicle-Village-Resort.h1534248.Hotel-Information) > > [Angel Of The Winds Casino Resort](https://www.expedia.ca/Everett-Hotels-Angel-Of-The-Winds-Casino-Resort.h9689970.Hotel-Information) > > [Lake Crescent Lodge](https://www.expedia.ca/Port-Angeles-Hotels-Lake-Crescent-Lodge.h4190746.Hotel-Information) > > [Comfort Suites Burlington near I-5](https://www.expedia.ca/Mount-Vernon-Hotels-Comfort-Suites-Burlington-Near-I-5.h33091850.Hotel-Information) > > [Sun Mountain Lodge](https://www.expedia.ca/Winthrop-Hotels-Sun-Mountain-Lodge.h1212928.Hotel-Information) > > [Tulalip Resort Casino](https://www.expedia.ca/Everett-Hotels-Tulalip-Resort-Casino.h2161524.Hotel-Information) > > [Majestic Inn & Spa](https://www.expedia.ca/Mount-Vernon-Hotels-Majestic-Inn-Spa.h1859284.Hotel-Information) > > [Fairbridge Inn & Suites](https://www.expedia.ca/Leavenworth-Hotels-Fairbridge-Inn-Suites.h63001.Hotel-Information) > > [Longview Inn](https://www.expedia.ca/Longview-Hotels-Longview-Inn.h9812150.Hotel-Information) > > [Suncadia Resort, a Destination by Hyatt Residence](https://www.expedia.ca/Ellensburg-Hotels-Suncadia-Resort.h1857788.Hotel-Information) > > [Enzian Inn](https://www.expedia.ca/Leavenworth-Hotels-Enzian-Inn.h13279273.Hotel-Information) > > [Holiday Inn Express & Suites Marysville by IHG](https://www.expedia.ca/Everett-Hotels-Holiday-Inn-Express-Suites-Marysville.h1752897.Hotel-Information) > > [12 Tribes Omak Casino Hotel](https://www.expedia.ca/Okanogan-Hotels-12-Tribes-Resort-Casino.h10645725.Hotel-Information) > > [La Quinta Inn & Suites by Wyndham Marysville](https://www.expedia.ca/Everett-Hotels-La-Quinta-Inn-Suites-By-Wyndham-Marysville.h51830838.Hotel-Information) > > [Holiday Inn Express & Suites Auburn Downtown by IHG](https://www.expedia.ca/Tacoma-Hotels-Holiday-Inn-Express-Suites-Auburn-Downtown.h37590454.Hotel-Information) > > [Salish Lodge & Spa](https://www.expedia.ca/Snoqualmie-Hotels-Salish-Lodge-Spa.h4779.Hotel-Information) > > [Holiday Inn & Suites Bellingham by IHG](https://www.expedia.ca/Bellingham-Hotels-Holiday-Inn-Hotel-Suites-Bellingham.h13172389.Hotel-Information) > > [Tulip Inn](https://www.expedia.ca/Mount-Vernon-Hotels-Tulip-Inn.h872971.Hotel-Information)
