Stunning view and total relaxation, with the water right outside the French doors. One afternoon, we even watched a sailboat race drift by, adding a perfect touch of charm to the experience.

Relaxation on the Lake

This is an excellent location! Right off the dock and into a safe swimmable part of the lake! The host was very communicative and responded quickly to any questions. Just fyi there was paper towels there when we stayed. Wish we could have stayed longer!

Weekend get away

Fun to stay in a cute float home! Morning and afternoon sun on the deck. Water is very clear. The property is within walking distance of two restaurants that both had great food, and also Ralph's Coffee Shop that had great coffee and breakfast sandwiches. Short drive to Farragut State Park where there is a lovely beach and numerous areas to hike. It was a great weekend!

Absolutely lovely

Recently updated, this is a house on water! Two bedrooms and a futon type couch. Absolutely wonderful for our family while going to Silverwood and enjoying the Idaho adventures. Totally new experience that I would recommend to anyone. The small town of Bayview was lovely. Can’t wait to come back.

Cozy, tranquil, and romantic.

This was a great weekend getaway. The town of Bayview is quite and welcoming. The boat house is cozy and relaxing. And the views from the dock are romantic and beautiful.

Great relaxing getaway. It would have been nice to have a light above the bed and the ladder to the bed is steep and hard to use at night. Mattress was comfortable though. There are 2 places to eat nearby which offered burgers. A bbq pit would have been nice.

Awesome stay at the lake!

The float house was as presented. The property owner was at the office upon check in so took us through the process. We had a boat, therefore also rented a slip. You must park the trailer away from the property but the area is very safe. There are kayaks and paddle boats available for rent. The location was amazing because we could sit on the dock and enjoy the view of boats, ducks, Canadian geese - don’t feed them. The restaurants were in walking distance: JD’s pub and grill had great burgers, pool, and live music on Saturday. The Captains Wheel has a great waitress, Jennifer, drinks are great but not everything on the menu was available. The Lake House by the boat launch had great nachos with brisket and signature drinks. People are welcoming and friendly. The house had some dishes, cups, and pans. There is a toaster oven, apartment sized refrigerator, coffee pot with coffee and fixings provided. We brought our grill and table to support it. There are wagons and wheelbarrows to help you bring your things upon arrival and departure. The lake is huge! We fished, and cruised the lake many days even seeing an eagle and it’s nest with two babies. It was a fantastic, calm, relaxing 7 days.
