We were in Madisonville for the boat show. Staying on this beautiful boat was the “cherry on top.” Right on the river, good restaurant close by and the event was in walking distance. Loved our stay!

A unique stay that was delightful. Stayed during the week so the marina and river were quiet. Shawna was excellent to work with and quickly answered and resolved my minor issues. This is an older boat in good condition, bed was very comfortable. Sunsets, sunrise and a full moon were an added bonus!

Unique, fun, great location

Boat is super charming, marina was quiet and central located to excellent restaurants and grocery stores. River traffic was heavy on the weekend but boaters respected no wake zone, making the boat pretty solid with very little movment, which was a concern for me. Out hoat was super helpful and easy to contact when needed.

This was a really unique, fun, charming place to stay. Definitely different than a normal VRBO rental and we loved the change of pace. It's an older boat, well maintained and in good condition. Very clean and had everything we needed for a few night stay. We were here in November, so I can attest that the heaters work great. I was concerned that river noise and wakes would be an issue, but they were not. The boat was docked in a well-protected location, so just a pleasant rocking with the breeze.Shawna is very helpful and responds to communications immediately. She had texted photos to help us find the docking location for our arrival and that was extremely helpful as we were looking for the location after dark. I would recommend this rental to anyone looking for a unique place to stay. Just be aware that (of course) quarters are somewhat tighter on a boat than in a house.
