Lovely and all around perfect!

We loved our weekend getaway! The houseboat was decorated so well and had everything we needed. It was wonderful to have the option to stay in a location so unique! I wanted to be close to the water and this location and boat was even better than staying in a cabin. Thank you Kelly and team for making our stay so enjoyable. We will be back!

Pleasant Weekends

Very nice area. The new interior of the boat is well done. Very comfortable. Short trip to many activities A MUST EAT, is The Sandbar in town. Not a fancy place at all. Home town place. The food and price will NOT be outdone by anyone. The service is great and friendly. Main Street USA at its best .
