The whole experience was great, the boat was incredible and so peaceful to sleep on. For the price point they could absolutely afford to provide you with bedding and probably some bottled water to have on site for your morning coffee but other than that it was a great trip and we will absolutely be returning.

Great experience! Tried something different staying on a houseboat. Very unique vacation. If you have any family and friends that have motion sickness, please understand that they may be negatively impacted by the stay. We had two members of our family that took the appropriate motion sickness precautions to enjoy their stay. The amenities are top notch. This was our second year staying in one of the host properties, and we will continue to come back. Great weather, great amenities, great properties and friendly people.

Super fun!

My family of four had a great time staying on the houseboat! Kurt was super responsive and informative! The houseboat was clean as a whistle and there was PLENTY of space for all of us! We were able to walk downtown in a jiffy! A really convenient, close spot while remaining private and secluded from the hustle bustle.

Honeymoon Bliss

This property was everything that was expected and more. The grounds and marina are beautiful and expertly groomed. The staff at the marina were at the ready for anythimg we needed. The Beach bar team were so friendly and inviting. As for the houseboat we rented it was wonderful and spotless. Truly an amazing experience. We also enjoyed that there was a lot to do within walking distance. We can see many anniversaries to come being spent here.

Beautiful House Boat

The boat was just as pictured but the views of the fall foliage were even better than imagined. It was like glamping on the water. Perfectly situated near all the attractions of Laconia and Meredith, walking distance to several great establishments. Property manager extremely friendly and helpful I was pleasantly surprised that pool and hot tub were still open this late in the season. We would definitely come back

Lovely stay and host

We had a fantastic time at the stay. Very unique experience. Felt like we were cruising on the ocean with the waves moving the boat. Serene peaceful club. The hosts were extremely sweet about us extending our check out as we checked in late due to schedule conflicts. Very quick in responding and extremely helpful. Definitely recommend and will come back again. Thank you Lance and Kurt for letting us use your lovely boathouse. One of a kind experience.

Not like it used to be

This was a favorite of ours, but this year was disappointing. The younger β€œcrew” with the exception of one older gentleman were rude, non responsive and dishonest. They also decided to empty the septic tank in the middle of our stay without letting us know and then went into the boat we were renting with out consent. Very unsettling. The boat wasn’t very clean, there was no toaster and only one key initially. The crew was in no hurry to help us when we needed the key or to check on the broken jacuzzi when we reported this, (we found out later they were already aware… why not just say that??) We did notice however the β€œcrew” were very quick and accommodating to the guests who were renting or going out on their boats for the day.

Response from VrboOwner on 17 September 2024
Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback about your recent stay. I’m genuinely sorry to hear that your experience did not meet your expectations. We appreciate your comments and want to address the concerns you raised: Septic Tank and Boat Access: The septic tank pump-out is an essential maintenance task performed from outside the houseboat, and there should not have been any need for entry into the boat itself, except possibly to add a deodorizer to the tank. I apologize if this process caused any confusion or inconvenience and for any lack of communication regarding it. Hot Tub and Maintenance: Our hot tub is inspected twice daily for chemical levels and temperature to ensure it is functioning properly. If you encountered any issues, I regret that we were not able to address them promptly. Key Card: I’m glad to hear that the additional key card was provided quickly. Staff Responsiveness: I’m concerned to hear that you feel some members of our crew were not as helpful or courteous as expected. This is not the standard of service we strive for, and I will discuss this feedback with the team to improve our guest experience. Please note that our staff has a wide range of responsibilities, including time-sensitive tasks related to boaters coming and going, which may have impacted their availability. For future reference, reaching out to us directly through VRBO or the appropriate channels will help ensure that any issues are resolved more efficiently. Thank you

Beautiful location & immaculate property!

My family (husband and 2 kids) just returned from our stay over Labor Day Weekend and had the best time! The house boat was a lot more spacious than we anticipated, and was extremely clean on arrival. The kitchenette was perfect for making small meals and was nicely stocked. Having access to the private beach, pool, and beach bar was also a great plus. We were often the first ones out there in the morning. All of the staff were very friendly and helpful as well. Just remember to bring your own sheets/blankets! We forgot ours and had to go buy some. There were plenty of pillows though which was really nice since a lot of places usually lack on that end. Overall, we would definitely rent again and are even thinking about joining the Yacht Club!

Read β€œAmenities” Description Carefully

Ahoy future renters! Read the listing carefully. Basic essentials like sheets, towels,, and soap are NOT included. This detail is listed under β€œAmenities.” The shower on-board the houseboat is not to be used and the toilet is just for β€œemergencies.” The marina bathhouse is to be used instead but it is not air conditioned and ventilation is poor. Spider webs adorn the partitions between the stalls. Otherwise, the view of the lake is great, especially from the upper deck. The dock hands were very hospitable and made our experience enjoyable.

Why stay in a hotel when you can stay in a house boat

We absolutely loved staying on the house boat. It was clean, adorable and in a convenient location. You can take a short walk to weird beach which was busy and fun. Or, you could take a short drive over to Meredith for restaurants and shopping: We loved watching sunrise and sunset in the upper deck as well as the Saturday fireworks! The marina beach, pool and restaurant were so nice to have close by. Any communication with the owner was easy and he always provided a quick friendly response. I highly recommend this property for a fun getaway!

Amazing Experience

We had such fun staying on the boat house! The amenities were great. My kids loved fishing, swimming in the pool and playing in the lake. The staff was amazing. The bath house and boat house were clean.
