100 percent satisfied! Lacey was such a great host. The houseboat was amazing and the location was even better. We will definitely be back.

This stay was very fun. Our kids were a little confused at first but that first step into the houseboat their eyes lit up and played as if we were out at sea. This trip was to have an experience we never have before and it was well worth it. If we are ever back in town we would definitely book this trip again!

The property was falsely advertised, they stated they had two bathrooms. There was only a half bath, and then a shower, which would be equivalent to one, not two. The place was filthy. There was still leftover food in the refrigerator, and the kitchen was unclean and unsanitary. This stove looked as if it had never been cleaned. The advertisement stated two bedrooms however, there were bunkbeds that are not standard regulation in the hallway, not a bedroom. Very unsafe for children, I’m not even sure of child could actually fit in the bed, unless they were under the age of five, and then it would be extremely unsafe! The walkway to the property was very unsafe, and they used pictures of the next-door neighbor to advertise for their place. I would not recommend staying here, and when we did say that we were dissatisfied, we could not get a hold of the host and she refused to refund our money for the next couple days as we booked three days. We still have not been able to get any compensation or money returned to date. We also had to get another place to stay, coming out of pocket for more money, definitely not a place for children as it is unsafe, and there was a homeless individual in front of the entrance.

We are traveling from GA to TX and decided to stay one night at a half way point. We have never stayed on a houseboat so we thought why not? We were not disappointed, everything was exactly as mentioned. After reading the reviews we kept one small overnight bag to bring to not have to tote all our luggage down the ramp/steps. That worked perfect. We enjoyed ourselves and would recommend to anyone looking.
P.S. I set my alarm to catch the sunrise and I’m so thankful I did. It was beautiful.

Enjoyed every minute. Only thing to mention, couldn't open the oven because of how close the refrigerator was and the bathroom on the lower deck (bedrooms) didn't have a toilet.

The boat was amazing and look forward to visiting again. Thank you for allowing us to stay.

This was our first bad experience with VRBO. I know that some properties just aren't family friendly, and that's okay if the property owner is honest about it. My search criteria wouldn't have pulled this up if the listing was accurate. There are not 2 bedrooms, there's one with a bunk bed in a hallway. There are not 5 beds, there's three with a blowup mattress stowed away. The only bedroom has a broken door that locks people out from the outside. The one tiny TV stopped playing the DVD about 5 minutes in, so we had nothing to keep the kids busy and they just wanted to play with buttons all over the boathouse. I messaged the host explaining that we wouldn't be able to stay here and never received a response. We had to load our kids back in the car and drive another 5 hours to have a safe place to stay. This was very frustrating and disappointing. If the listing were accurate, we could have avoided the whole mess. I'm fully aware that some places just aren't for kids, and this is one of them.

Fantastic Houseboat Getaway!
This is a fun place to stay. The houseboat is very cute and has been decorated with care and love. This is a unique place and also has wildlife all around. We spotted a beaver, red headed wood peckers, baby turtles, and anole lizards. The property is easy to locate and Lacey is quick to answer questions. The boat does have a slight rocking feel occasionally but this did not bother anyone in our group. We come to West Monroe every year and this has been the best place we have stayed yet.

Relaxing stay on the Ouachita River
The houseboat was just as cute as could be with everything I needed. Very comfortable and clean. It was easy to get to. There are a good number of steps to get down to the boat, but I had no trouble managing them. It is quite close to both Monroe and West Monroe so no problems getting anywhere if I needed anything. Lacey checked in to see if I needed anything and is very kind. All in all, it was a pleasurable experience for a much needed vacation away from my daily life.

My husband & I enjoyed our weekend stay on the Ouachita River. We brought our boat for fishing & bird watching. Owners were super responsive and helpful. The houseboat has all the comforts of home and was in a convenient location in downtown West Monroe.
