About this property

Houseboat on Grand River on private wooded lot

WORRY-FREE VACATION: This vacation spot is 100% private so you don't need to worry about COVID-19. All surfaces are disinfected and sanitized between each guest. Book with confidence!

This 58-foot Fun Country houseboat is a unique experience for those looking for a private oasis on the water. With state land across from the property, go for a kayak and ride through a bird paradise filled with lily pads. There is a kayak and 3 person canoe available for your use.

We recently renovated this houseboat and are excited to share it with a large family, two small families or anything in between. The houseboat has to remain docked during your stay and is not driveable, but there is a small boat ramp and room to dock your own small watercraft.

This houseboat has a nice large common area with a gorgeous new kitchen equipped with pots and pans, cooking utensils, a microwave range hood, full size oven range and a full size refrigerator/freezer. There's plenty of dining area with a large dining table and countertop stools. It has 3 bedrooms with 4 queen beds and features 1 1/2 baths including a shower and a 30 gallon water heater to make sure your showers are warm.

Additionally this houseboat has comforts like air conditioning, a grill, and outdoor dining on the top deck. We provide linens, bath towels and beach towels. The property where the houseboat is docked offers additional space for tenting or a camping trailer and room for bonfires and other outdoor activities.

Fall Getaway

We loved our long weekend on the boat! The beds were comfortable, the boat was well stocked, and the owner was super nice and accommodating. We had so much fun using the canoe and kayak, did some fishing, grilling, and lots of cards and games with the kids. In short, we loved it. It was a perfect little getaway for us and the kids. Lots of laughs and relaxing.

Relaxing get away

The house boat is what we needed. Clean rooms and bathrooms. You can find anything you need in the kitchen (and more!) The only comment would be the microwave doesn’t heat up food as it should but besides that everything was great! Thank you for the welcome basket that was a lovely detail! Since it rained we couldn't enjoy the upper deck as much but inside we had plenty of space to play cards! We are definitely returning next year in a much warmer month! Looking forward!

Needs some more TLC

Based on the photos and description of this property we were expecting way more than what we got. The location is great and we had a wonderful time on the river. However, the houseboat itself disappoints: lack of cleanliness, water pressure issues (even after following the owner's instructions), and the general sense of renovations not quite finished (there's a bowl on a chair in the living area in case the roof leaks). We had a couple safety concerns too. There is no handrail or ramp to get on/off the boat. Instead there is a small step stool screwed to the dock. Not ideal for small children, the elderly, or anyone that's had a few drinks. The waterslide is treacherous looking, and there was a large hornet's nest on the top deck which the owners should have noticed. We bought spray and tried to take care of that ourselves. Lastly, the boat was not securely moored. A storm came through on our last night and the back end of the boat broke free, ran into the trees on the shoreline, and tore a rail off the upper deck. This could be a unique and terrific vacation spot once these issues are addressed and additional work is done to the houseboat. A little more TLC is needed, please.

Perfect!

My husband and I rented this charming houseboat for six days and there was not a part of our vacation we didn't love! Tami was so sweet and the boat was just what we were looking for. Yes we were in the middle of the woods so there were mosquitoes but bug spray quickly took care of those. The boat was fully stocked and very clean. Our favorite space was the top deck. It does get very dark at night so my only suggestion would be to add some type of lighting up there. Other than that we have absolutely no complaints and would highly recommend this property to any nature lovers.

Wonderful remote getaway. Great property with a ton of trees to relax by the fire pit. My favorite spot was the large upper deck! Great for watching the boaters and just listening to the birds!

WONDERFUL CLEAN PRIVATE STAY ON A HOUSEBOAT!

This was a great property. The houseboat was on a big piece of private land. The houseboat was fabulous, clean, well maintained and very roomy. It was only my daughter and myself, but 8 people could stay there with plenty of room. It was very well stocked with towels, washclothes, beach towels (the biggest nicest beach towels I've ever seen), toiletries, etc. Lots of things to do there. Loved sitting on the rooftop enjoying the views. Highly recommend, this rental. Owners are very accomodating, and strive to make your stay wonderful.

Perfect COVID Vacation

My family usually camps but was uncertain of doing that in these uncertain times. This was the perfect place for us. We stayed three nights which was the perfect amount of time for our 4 year old, 7 year old and 9 year old. The on property fire pit with provided wood was perfect for camp cooking. The kitchen in the boat had everything we needed for our stay for when we didn't want to camp cook, it is well supplied with dishes, cookware, coffee maker, toaster, oven/stove, and condiments. The living area is spacious and the top deck of the boat is a fun place to spend time. I was somewhat worried about our four year old leaving the boat without a grown up but he was too short and the latches too complicated for him to get out which was a plus for us. The bedrooms are small but they worked well for us. This place is secluded which we enjoyed. Our kids had so much fun playing in the water, they tried kayaking, we went on a canoe ride, they swam, played on tubes we brought, and the oldest two enjoyed the water slide. They were able to forget about COVID and relax and have fun just being kids. This is a great vacation place for those who like to be in nature.

Great Setting

The house boat was fairly well appointed. Towels (both bath and beach) were clean and plentiful. Other item provided like dishes, silverware, cooking equipment and utensils were perfect for the stay. In addition, all the little things you don’t always think of - paper goods, spices, salt & pepper, ziplocks, storage s containers - was all there. We loved the setting on the river which, even though bit was a holiday weekend wasn’t too busy. Plenty of space on boat to spread out and relax and the space on shore Uber the trees was great for yard games, fire pit and lounging. We did some fishing, grilling out, s’mores, played in the water and just relaxed. Only real complaint was that we felt the boat was a little underpowered. The refrigerator took a long time to cool things, microwave took a long time to heat things, toaster was a very slow and A/C wasn’t quite able to keep up - though it was over 90 degrees the entire time we were there. Randy and Tami were exceptionally nice and helpful.

Unique experience on a cute boat

Owners are very very nice and still tweaking this rental but the boat is very nicely decorated and has everything you need for your stay. Similar to staying in an RV but the location is amazing. Great area across the river to kayak. We spent a lot of time on the rooftop deck. This is closer to camping then a five star hotel but such a cute place and a unique experience.
