    We LOVED our stay at the Boathouse. Mark is such a responsive host - really appreciated him during our stay! The place was super clean, well kept. I could live here! Easy walk to Arnold's Park that you honestly can't beat. Thanks hosts!

    This is the perfect spot if you're coming to boat! The driveway is long enough for the trailer and truck, easy to back into and easy access to multiple public docks within 10 minutes. The house was clean, a well-stocked kitchen for cooking meals, and enough space for 9 of us to hangout after a long day on the water. Walking distance to Arnolds Park for coffee or the concerts. Really a perfect spot. We will be back next year!

    It was a good stay over all. I just didn’t get the attachment with that email about the house Manual so I couldn’t look at that.

    The check in and check out instructions were very clear and simple to follow, which made for an easy stay! The home has new appliances and everything was clean and up to date, so it felt very comfortable and homey. As a bachelorette party, we had plenty of room and were able to enjoy each other's company in the awesome living area, which had a large sectional and plenty of other seating options for us to hang out and chat! Thank you to the great hosts for a memorable weekend!
