Unbeatable Location
This is our 2nd time staying at The Boathouse. This is an annual trip to see family and there isn’t a better place to stay. The house is awesome. Very comfortable for multiple families. The location is amazing. 2 blocks from Arnold’s Park, the beach, Emporium and all the restaurants and bars on Broadway. Park your car and leave it you won’t need it. Larry and Mark are great. Super responsive with questions. We won’t stay anywhere else!
