Started rough ended very well. Outside had not been cleaned for along time. Went to store got raid for spiders. Swept and sprayed before unloading. Was expecting to see some propably killed 100. Inside was clean. No water in bathroom and kitchen sink. Was told minimal water usage not that there wasn’t any. Bath house was very clean. Over all it wasn’t bad. It was a new glamping experience.

Amazing! I had a wonderful time. A friend joined me for a day, but when I say, "do it alone". Do it alone. I felt very safe. Everyone in town and the adjoining towns were so pleasant. Crows nest was my #1 for food. Village creamery was dessert. Be sure to stop at the great lakes popcorn factory with 30 flavors. The marblehead lighthouse and the confederate cemetery were nice to visit. I 100% recommend Joshua and his house boats!
