While the cold weather didn’t fully cooperate, the owner communicated with on how to turn the heat on. The accommodations were comfortable. The view was incredible. The upgrades were awesome. We hope to return to fully enjoy the water. This was a very serene and restful experience for me and my husband and our Shi Tzu.

Wonderfull stay! With large windows on both levels, we could enjoy the lake scenery at all times during the day and night. The home was very quiet and so stable in the water that there was little floating sensation.Excellent communication with the host, who not only answered questions promptly, but offered suggestions to improve our stay.

Lovely Romantic Getaway

My husband and I stayed here for 4 nights to celebrate our 30th wedding anniversary & had a great time. The boat is amazingly spacious, and the views (particularly the gorgeous sunsets) are lovely. Having the tiki bar nearby was a nice plus. We look forward to coming back!

4th of July

We had a wonderful time. Enjoyed watching the boats and fireworks. Everything we needed was there. Two cautions though, we are 76 years old and the bedroom is upstairs via a spiral staircase and the boat does rock when there is active on the water but that being said the stay was very enjoyable.

It was a houseboat with great views and secluded at end of a dock.The upper level would be challenging for older folks, dogs!and overweight folks. But it was great for us.

A home that floats

Whenever we travel, we always look for unique options and our stay at this houseboat did not disappoint. The boat offers fantastic views of Doctor's lake from the living area as well as the bedroom. The houseboat's amenities lacked nothing for our stay, we are very appreciative of the fact that the Houseboat was pet friendly.We hope to stay there again.
