52-Foot Houseboat on Lake Erie-Sleeps 6! Walleye Fishing Capitol of the World!

Immerse yourself in nature on this unique escape at The Mile Long Pier, Lake Erie, Ohio. Perfect for everyone from fishermen to families, our 52 ft. houseboat will create lasting memories as you wake to a breathtaking sunrise and end your day with a front row seat of the sun setting at The Lorain Lighthouse. Whether you are enjoying the water view from the comforts of bed, sipping your coffee on the deck's sectonal sofa, or watching the stars from the 2nd story rooftop, beauty surrounds you!
Isn't it time for a change from the 3rd floor cookie-cutter hotel with a window view to the parking lot? A stay on the water at The Dog House will be a unique and memorable experience!

The layout.....

As you board the boat, you will step onto the large patio. The brand new sectional patio furniture will be a perfect place to sit back, relax and enjoy the water and the view. The soft glow from the overhead strung lights create a cozy and comfortable place to watch the stars. The Dog House is the closest boat to the Lorain Light House.

A sliding glass door leads you into the spacious living room. The brand new sleeper sofa is a great spot to watch the large Smart TV. Games and cards, for all ages, are provided. The sofa converts to a queen-sized bed with an upgraded memory foam mattress. This is not your grandma's sofa bed!

The kitchen boasts a large island that seats four comfortably. An additional four guests can sit at the booth-styled table. The kitchen has a microwave, sink, refrigerator, freezer, stove-top, oven, toaster, and kitchen basics. The table converts to an additional bed.

Located off the kitchen is Bedroom #2. It holds a double bed with a brand new memory foam mattress. The bedroom is small but guests will sleep comfortably. The room has a large window with a perfect view of the lake and lighthouse. There is a large hanging bar for clothes.

The bathroom has a sink, toilet, full sized shower and linen closet. The bathroom has two separate entrances, one from the hall and one from the master bedroom.

Next is the Master Bedroom. This spacious room has a queen-sized memory foam mattress. There is a large closet with shelves and nightstands with ample storage. The room has a coffee bar featuring the Dog Pound orange Keurig, with Dunkin' K cups provided, to prevent any grumpy fisherman.

A second set of sliding glass doors lead from the master bedroom to the back deck. If you would like to fish from the deck or dock, there are severla fishing poles provided. There is area to sit and a spiral staircase leading to the rooftop. The rooftop is a perfect spot to catch some sun or star gaze!

Sleeping details....
Master bedroom: queen bed-sleeps 2 comfortably
Bedroom #2: double bed-sleeps 2 comfortably
Sofa Sleeper: queen bed-sleeps 2 comfortably
Booth styled Table: converts to a bed-sleeps 1-2--recommended for guests under 6 feet tall
There is also room for an inflatable air bed if guests would prefer to bring.

Additional details....

There is a 100 gallon water tank. Much like a camper, there is limited hot water. A couple guests can take a quick hot shower, but we prefer and think you will prefer, to use the Oasis Marina shower facilities. These shower facilities are pictured above, newly remodeled, and extremely nice! The hot water never ends, the water pressure is great, the area is clean and well lit, and very spacious for men and women.

The boat is surrounded by large windows to enjoy the views. Each has darkening shades and screens that you can open to enjoy the beautiful lake breezes. Both sliding doors have screens that create a wonderful breeze as well.
Guests can enjoy a Smart TV and stay connected with free WiFi. Other standard amenities include a kitchen, a balcony, and a refrigerator.

Beautiful view of the sunset
We were luck to stay on beautiful evening and the sunset was perfect! Wish we planned on staying longer than one night and tried fishing for catfish.

Weekend on the water
My wife, my parents and I stayed for Memorial Day weekend. It exceeded our expectations! Gary was such a great host! He was very communicative and brought us a new coffee maker when we told him the one provided wasn’t working properly. We made great memories and had so much fun! The beds were extremely comfortable, everything was clean and the bathrooms at the marina were super clean. We can’t wait to stay again!
