Floating Home Rentals

Each of our floating rental homes is securely anchored offshore from the marina.  To tour the lake and to get to and from the marina requires transporation.  You are welcome to bring your own watercraft or rent one of our pontoon or fishing boats.  Valet shuttle service to and from the marina is also available for an extra fee. Many homes are pet friendly.  Please read the descriptions of each home for details.

Peace of Mind

Relax in a prime location on the walkable slip row at the marina. Although literally on the water, the boat remains docked in the slip and is set up as a floating camper.  You are not allowed to untie/move the boat. 

This is a great spot to fish and relax on the water but please note that this space is basic! Think glamping on the water!  If you are super picky or expecting the Ritz then this place isn’t for you. It is extremely minimal and very basic. It’s kept very clean but does have characteristics of an older home. The place is dated but kept very clean and sanitized. 

There is a king size bed in the lower part of the boat. The bench can also fold out to make a full size platform.  BATHROOM: The boat is parked on the same slip row as the 24/7 bathrooms.  Have you ever been camping??? You know how when you go camping and you need to use the bathroom, you walk to the bathhouse in the campground. This place is exactly like that.  Think of it as a primitive floating camp site complete with the occasional bug and you won’t be let down! If you are not OK with that then this place is simply not for you. It’s very basic

The place is connected to shore power, it has modern electricity/power outlets, A/C and a mini fridge.  Guests are asked to bring bottled water for drinking and hand washing. The sink passes through and you are able to use it to wash your hands. Grey water only.  Bring food/snacks just like you would if you were going camping. The marina does have snacks/drinks during business hours only.  

No cleaning fee if you agree to the following.  (If you do not agree to the following you can add $150 to the total for your stay for a cleaning charge.)  You MUST pick up after yourself and you MUST be willing and able to clean and remove the trash/waste/personal items when you leave/check out.  If you are not able or willing to pick up after yourself then please do not book.

No smoking and no strong odors. It’s a small space, please be courteous of odors, sents, sprays, no lighting of candles, or incense is allowed.

No pets allowed
