Step outside the norm of a boring stay in hotel and enjoy this houseboat! What a fun experience. Everything was clean and we had everything needed for enjoying 3 days docked on a marina. Communication was great and experience was great!

Would have liked to know more before the day of stay ( such as coffee)Electrical problems caused us to leave 2 hours earlier, and the entire visit was not very long.It was cute and cozy.Not being able to have 2 coffee’s in the morning was disappointing.

Totally understand it’s a house boat, but the spiders and cob webs were pretty bad. I feel sorry for anyone over 6 feet tall trying to use the restroom and dirty shower. There was also layers of dust on the fans in each room that was flaring up my daughter’s allergies. We ended up driving back home 4 hours away at midnight because of those issues.
