Great idea and would of been a good stay, restroom on the boat smelled like port o potty, kept door shut and bought air fresheners that helped, but that smell permeated throughout the vessel

Overall we had a good stay, and it was a unique experience to stay on a houseboat! Very quiet and peaceful, and the hosts were friendly and helpful. When they found out we were there celebrating our anniversary, they decorated the deck of the houseboat for us, which was a very nice touch. The boathouse where the showers and toilets are located is not on land, it is on another boat, which was a surprise! The bathroom onboard smelled terrible, but I think that is just because of the way the plumbing is for the toilet. We kept the door closed the whole time so that the smell stayed contained in the bathroom.

Host was excellent and very responsive. Beautiful views. Bed was super comfy, fridge/freezer worked amazing. If you don’t care for bugs or spiders do not stay here. Host sprays but new webs appear by morning. Bath house is nicely renovated. I think for the 85 cleaning fee, they could get rid of the dead bugs and take out the garbage(you have to do it). Also, my comment at reservation was that I was looking forward to a quiet trip. I would have appreciated knowing that construction was going on right next to the boat.

It was camping on the water…with A/C! Hosts were very responsive when we had a minor electrical issue. Location is convenient to Put-in-Bay and Kelley Island ferries. Great evening views.

Fun place to stay

Just as described. Fun to stay on a boat and let the waves rock you to sleep. The property manager was friendly and helpful. The bathhouse is newly renovated and clean. Great stay.

Great Stay!

What a fun and unique visit for me and my family! Check-in/out was very easy, the property is situated very close to restaurants and activities. The boat was clean and spacious and it was nice starting and ending thr day sitting on the upper deck enjoying the view. The hosts and property manager were very responsive to questions. If the opportunity is there, we would definitely come back!

Not the best :(

The shower houses you need to use broke down twice. Only worked on our last day when we were leaving. Boat not cleaned well lots of cob webs and spiders. Bathroom smelled really bad of pee, even though we never used it. Responsiveness to our issues was pretty good, but no response at all when I said I had to drive to McDonald’s to the bathroom and requested a partial refund.

My stay

The Host Brandi was outstanding. She is on top of her game when it comes to her job. She was the best. When booking I was misled that there was a grill on the boat but is not. Did not like that if using the toilet on board just to pee that the toilet paper had to be placed in the trash. There should be somekind of disposal bin. At my age when I have to go there is no time to run to the bath house. The bathhouse was very tidy and clean. Would recommend if just wanting to lay back and chill and feel like your camping on water.
