"Driftwood" Cozy Houseboat on the Water for 2
Sit back, relax and unwind within our lovely floating home. Needing a unique getaway, celebrating a special occasion, working remotely, or simply wanting an adventure? We have you covered. Your private, beautiful oasis getaway comes with early morning sunrises and beautiful sunsets. The "Driftwood" houseboat is a gem docked right in the harbor and accommodates 2 guests comfortably. Walking distance to the South Lake Beach, fishing and short driving distance to trails and parks.
* This houseboat is docked, meaning it cannot be taken out.
* Since this boat is stationary and docked, you are more than welcome to bring your own boat/trailer along with you. We have a launch right in the marina for you and also a place to store your trailer.
* This is such a quaint cozy houseboat, but with that comes a typical small bathroom on the boat. You may use it, but its very small and camper like. We are offering our state of the art bath house for your convenience along with this rental. Keys will be on the table to access those and they are located at the Marina Side of Harbor store building. We hope you enjoy! Thanks in advance.
* This stay comes with 2 free kayak rentals for the South Lake Only. Prior to the opening of Island City Outfitters, contact us for availability.
The Driftwood comes with a queen size bed and also a air mattress. Sleeps 2 comfortably. If you have added guest please let us know, we will do our best to accommodate. (for example: children)

Beautiful area. My husband fished right off the boat while i enjoyed my book and nature. Jesse and Kelly were amazing hosts. Jessica took us to the boat upon arrival which was greatly appreciated. We met Dave when the weather sirens went off ensuring everyone's safety. Great place!!

Anniversary weekend
Something different than just another hotel, very cozy and nice. Property manager was very welcoming and communicative. Nicely decorated. Definitely used the bath house over the boat. And it was nice. We were early in the season, so it was very quiet, which was perfect for us. When it becomes busier, it might feel a little “crowded” being so close to another boat. Overall it was pleasant and we will definitely stay again. There was plenty to do and see within an hour drive in any direction.

Awesome weekend getaway!
My boyfriend and I stayed on the Driftwood on a weekend getaway. We had such an enjoyable time! So relaxing sitting outside and taking in the views. We also saw the tugboat come in and leave the dock which was pretty neat! We are already planning on coming back next year!
