Wonderfull stay! With large windows on both levels, we could enjoy the lake scenery at all times during the day and night. The home was very quiet and so stable in the water that there was little floating sensation.Excellent communication with the host, who not only answered questions promptly, but offered suggestions to improve our stay.

It was a houseboat with great views and secluded at end of a dock.The upper level would be challenging for older folks, dogs!and overweight folks. But it was great for us.

4th of July

We had a wonderful time. Enjoyed watching the boats and fireworks. Everything we needed was there. Two cautions though, we are 76 years old and the bedroom is upstairs via a spiral staircase and the boat does rock when there is active on the water but that being said the stay was very enjoyable.

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.

A home that floats

Whenever we travel, we always look for unique options and our stay at this houseboat did not disappoint. 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.

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.

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.

Lovely Romantic Getaway

My husband and I stayed here for 4 nights to celebrate our 30th wedding anniversary & had a great time. The boat is amazingly spacious, and the views (particularly the gorgeous sunsets) are lovely. Having the tiki bar nearby was a nice plus. We look forward to coming back!

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.

Nice Get Away on the water!

Loved the views and the decor! Even with the rain we felt cozy and comfortable. *Might suggest adding a full length mirror. The games were nice, as we actually played battleship for the first time in years! Loved the recliner and the choice of coffees & teas.

We had a great experience aboard this lovely floating houseboat. The decks provide space and vistas of sunsets and sunrises. The tiki bar In the marina was a great addition that provided live music and cocktails. I would definitely stay aboard again. Highly recommend
