    We had a great stay! The property is so cute and check in was really easy. I deducted a star for the comfort of the beds. Both beds were incredibly uncomfortable. The bed upstairs slants into the middle and is very soft. The bed downstairs is thin to fit in the space.

    Very unique place to stay. It feels like you are in a boat the whole time. Lake is beautiful. Host are very kind and helpful. They check up on you daily and I would stay at their cabins anytime.

    I was a cozy little boat. Wish I could have stayed when I wasn’t working in the area, but I enjoyed the peace and quiet. The communication with the host was top notch.

    Property was as described. This is a unique stay for the under 55 crowd. The place was clean. Hot water and pressure was great. Think tiny house and be reasonable with expectations and it was a cute stay. We enjoyed the upper deck sitting area in the mornings.

    Bathroom had flushing issues, did not work at all . Kitchen stove did not work . No lights outdoor for grill . Issues were fixed by Jennifer next day promptly but still we felt inconvenience . Based on listing it says 6 people accommodation , not for young kids and senior citizen and too small and not comfortable.

    We like finding unique places to stay on our trips and this boat was definitely that! The display of pictures from it’s glory days was a nice touch. We really enjoyed our stay and would recommend this place.
