This boat house was very well stocked with everything that we needed. It was super clean, kitchen was fully stocked, with ample parking, and in a great location. The host was a great guy and responded in a timely manner to any questions that we had. I would definitely recommend this rental to anyone looking for one. We will be renting this place again.

It was a great experience staying on Doug’s houseboat. He was a very friendly and responsive host. The house was well stocked and very clean. You can definitely feel the movement of the houseboat so I would recommend Dramamine for anyone who tends to get motion sick.
