We didn’t use a lot of the amenities but they are there. Good restaurants nearby. " - "I loved the boat and the surrounding area. I got there a little bit late.

The shower wasn’t working, but they had a great shower facility you can walk to. There is a little marina shop on Dock B.

It is just a short drive to all the shops in copper hill as well! We also loved being able to cook with everything that was provided and having a nice campsite breakfast before leaving.

- "We had a fantastic stay on the houseboat. Angie thought of everything that we could possibly need and was the most gracious host. We had plenty of indoor space, but the outdoor space was my favorite. Every morning I enjoyed my coffee up top overlooking the river. We had hoped to take the kayaks out but ran out of time during our busy visit. Next time! We will definitely be back." - "We loved our 1st stay on a houseboat as a family. There were 3 in our group and our boat was very comfortable. Good beds and the A/C kept things cool. Close to downtown and restaurants. Angie is an impeccable hostess! We really enjoyed that her 3 rental boats are together and created a social environment where we met and talked with our boat neighbors which is a unique experience in this day and age."

Fire pits were nice and wood was provided with plenty of seats and picnic tables." - "We had a wonderful time Glamping for the weekend. The fall colors were on point. The glamping tents and location to the restrooms and lounge were just perfect. We had wet and cold weather but still enjoyed the porches and the fact they are very dog friendly. Everett was more than welcoming and was kind enough to start a fire for us on Saturday when it wasn’t raining. We will define be making a return trip in the spring."

- "This dome was definitely an unbelievable and incredible once in a lifetime experience that everyone should have. Located in the mountains, the views were absolutely amazing. The host has updated bathrooms, AC units, and kitchen equipment (fridge, microwave, induction stovetop) all great quality. Very quiet and peaceful area. The host was very kind, accommodating and friendly. He responded very quickly to my messages which was important. We enjoyed the views, the stay and definitely using the hot tub! Only downside was the insects, but it was because I went during the summer time. Fall would be a better time to go and I sure do look forward to my stay here again in the near future! 5 stars!!"
