    Relaxing and tranquil.

    The Boathouse exceeded our expectations plus more!! The location was tranquil and nothing beats waking up to a river view. The interior was beautiful and you could tell a lot of thought had gone into the decor. It could be featured in a magazine. Wendy and Phil made us feel very welcome and Phil even checked we had enough firewood, that was very much appreciated. The breakfast provisions was very generous and there was a well stocked kitchen. They also checked a few times if there was anything that we needed. The cleanliness of the The Boathouse was outstanding, thank you Julia.

    The bed was a little hard for me however my husband had no complaints.

    A comfy spot on the water to reconnect with nature and community

    A beautiful spot on the water, the perfect size for two & facilities comfortable. Has everything you need in one spot and walking distance to everything else.

    Wish the dining chairs were shorter so you could see the beautiful boat view from the bed - but this didn’t impact our stay at all. Still 10/10
