⚓️ Experience the extraordinary with this one-of-a-kind retreat! This 2 story houseboat, located in West Monroe, promises an awe-inspiring experience that's far from typical. Tucked away on the banks of the Ouachita River, it's perfect for those who enjoy fishing, kayaking, or simply winding down. Equipped with outdoor furniture and a grill, live your ideal life while soaking in the sounds of the water. Plus, your beloved pets are welcome too! Step aboard and discover what it's all about! I'm not going to fluff this all up and wow you with how I promise you a 5 star experience, rambling on about all the fabulous amenities we offer.. (sure, we've got them), because that's not what you're excited about! You get to stay on a 2 story houseboat!! It has a full size bed, 2 small single beds (bunks), a twin air mattress... and the couch! Aside from the obvious floating in water experience you'll be doing, you can fish and hang out and relax or kayak! We've got you covered on most items... just check with me if you want to know something specific! Full access to everything except the top-level deck of the houseboat, for safety reasons. You are allowed to explore the property.. from the bus to the blue barn and down to the river. Please stay within the property zone. Myself and my husband frequent the property & my son lives in the cabin beside the boat. We won't bother you, but we're available if needed. Found in the great Historic Downtown part of West Monroe Louisiana, on the Ouachita River, this houseboat is incomparable! Seated just minutes from Antique Alley and several museums and restaurants of all cuisines or budgets, this place is the perfect getaway... That's not far away! Most locals don't even know of this spot! The levee is a common walk/run/bike route for folks, so get out and enjoy the fresh air while you are here! Car is recommended. We have poured our hearts into creating an experience that is as perfect as possible, but as the very nature of a houseboat presents undeniable challenges - particularly those associated with the realities of life on the river - like a wobbly step or a rogue wasp. If you're someone who revels in unique experiences and adapts well to different circumstances, this could be the perfect stay for you. Parking: We provide on-site parking for 2 regular-sized vehicles. Contact me before booking with any questions. (Please stay to the left of the garage, in the marked, parking space area. Do not park in front of, or block the garage. Our neighbor is a helpful, kind man... but his fuse has been shortened on this matter!) Accessibility: It's important to note that during months when the water level is low, accessing the houseboat involves navigating two sets of stairs. If you're comfortable with 50 steep steps and you can safely manage your luggage, kids, and/or pets, on them also, then come on aboard. Pet Policy: A $35 pet fee applies should you wish to bring along your furry friends. Connectivity: An important thing to remember - and something we unfortunately have no power over - is that WiFi is not available due to levee and OSCHA requirements. The silver lining? The cell service is excellent for hotspots, providing an alternative means of staying connected.
