About this property

WORRY-FREE VACATION: This vacation spot is 100% private so you don't need to worry about COVID-19. All surfaces are disinfected and sanitized between each guest. Book with confidence!

This 58-foot Fun Country houseboat is a unique experience for those looking for a private oasis on the water. With state land across from the property, go for a kayak and ride through a bird paradise filled with lily pads. There is a kayak and 3 person canoe available for your use.

We recently renovated this houseboat and are excited to share it with a large family, two small families or anything in between. The houseboat has to remain docked during your stay and is not driveable, but there is a small boat ramp and room to dock your own small watercraft.

This houseboat has a nice large common area with a gorgeous new kitchen equipped with pots and pans, cooking utensils, a microwave range hood, full size oven range and a full size refrigerator/freezer. There's plenty of dining area with a large dining table and countertop stools. It has 3 bedrooms with 4 queen beds and features 1 1/2 baths including a shower and a 30 gallon water heater to make sure your showers are warm.

Additionally this houseboat has comforts like air conditioning, a grill, and outdoor dining on the top deck. We provide linens, bath towels and beach towels. The property where the houseboat is docked offers additional space for tenting or a camping trailer and room for bonfires and other outdoor activities.

Fall Getaway

We loved our long weekend on the boat! The beds were comfortable, the boat was well stocked, and the owner was super nice and accommodating. We had so much fun using the canoe and kayak, did some fishing, grilling, and lots of cards and games with the kids. In short, we loved it. It was a perfect little getaway for us and the kids. Lots of laughs and relaxing.

Relaxing get away

The house boat is what we needed. Clean rooms and bathrooms. You can find anything you need in the kitchen (and more!) The only comment would be the microwave doesn’t heat up food as it should but besides that everything was great! Thank you for the welcome basket that was a lovely detail! Since it rained we couldn't enjoy the upper deck as much but inside we had plenty of space to play cards! We are definitely returning next year in a much warmer month! Looking forward!

Happy to return.

This was our second time staying on the boat. We love relaxing on the top deck. The boat is fully stocked and comfortable.

Needs some more TLC

Based on the photos and description of this property we were expecting way more than what we got. The location is great and we had a wonderful time on the river. However, the houseboat itself disappoints: lack of cleanliness, water pressure issues (even after following the owner's instructions), and the general sense of renovations not quite finished (there's a bowl on a chair in the living area in case the roof leaks). We had a couple safety concerns too. There is no handrail or ramp to get on/off the boat. Instead there is a small step stool screwed to the dock. Not ideal for small children, the elderly, or anyone that's had a few drinks. The waterslide is treacherous looking, and there was a large hornet's nest on the top deck which the owners should have noticed. We bought spray and tried to take care of that ourselves. Lastly, the boat was not securely moored. A storm came through on our last night and the back end of the boat broke free, ran into the trees on the shoreline, and tore a rail off the upper deck. This could be a unique and terrific vacation spot once these issues are addressed and additional work is done to the houseboat. A little more TLC is needed, please.

Perfect!

My husband and I rented this charming houseboat for six days and there was not a part of our vacation we didn't love! Tami was so sweet and the boat was just what we were looking for. Yes we were in the middle of the woods so there were mosquitoes but bug spray quickly took care of those. The boat was fully stocked and very clean. Our favorite space was the top deck. It does get very dark at night so my only suggestion would be to add some type of lighting up there. Other than that we have absolutely no complaints and would highly recommend this property to any nature lovers.

About the host

Hosted by Randy Rua

We are a family of four including two rambunctious boys. We were looking for a vacation spot for our own family that was 100% private and peaceful because one of our boys has special needs. We bought these 7 acres of wooded property on the Grand River and then purchased a houseboat to dock next to the property. Our family LOVES the tranquility of this houseboat, which is across from state land and a quick kayak or canoe ride to bird sanctuaries, lily pads, etc. We LOVE sharing this property with others!!
