I have stayed at many places over the years. This would be my favorite place. The view and the location was unbelievable. We were in town for a wedding and our host let us check in early to accommodate the wedding schedule. I would definitely recommend this house boat to anyone that wants a unique and relaxing experience.

We had the best time staying on this houseboat! It was the perfect spot for our girls trip — clean, spacious, and stocked with everything we needed. The amenities were fantastic, and the location couldn’t have been better — close to everything but still peaceful and relaxing on the water. The grill wasnt as close as we hoped for the weather. The host was great and made everything easy from start to finish. We’d absolutely stay here again!
