The owners of this Boatel have clearly taken great pains to think of everything you might need for your stay. They are very helpful and communicative which was very appreciated. My girls had never been on this type of boat before and had a blast. There is plenty to do in the area and we found this to be a great landing spot for hiking in the state park or shopping in Bellevue or Savannah.

Cozy accommodations, had a great time, used shower facilities. They were new very clean, and perfect for a group of women. The outdoor seating was amazing for all outdoor activities. Used kayaks free qith rental and enjoyed paddling around little lake. Had a wonderful time. Wandered into town VFW and Home Port were fun drinking spots.

Staying in the houseboat was an adventure. We had a few hiccups in the check-in process but the hosts were very responsive and everything was sorted out very quickly. The houseboat was made in the 60s so some things were as I expected and some things such as the heating was not. The first night of the stay the temps dropped down into the 30s and the boat was COLD! The next day we did find the extra lap blankets and spreads so we were prepared the next night. With all that said the rest of our stay was very relaxing and comfortable.
