Description
This Houseboat has a newer bathroom remodel, queen bed in the front, 1 twin beds in a cuddy area with only a 2 1/2 foot ceilings, the table folds down and couch can also be beds. You cannot swim around the boats due to electrical hook up at the marina. There are extra showers in the shelter and rustic outdoor showers or guests. I rent kayaks and life jackets for $25 per. It’s a peaceful setting here and I rent the house, houseboats, campers, and a tiny house. (Bring Firewood) The space The houseboat rental is located at a small marina in a cove right on the Ohio River. I describe it as camping on water. This boat has a lot of nice outdoor space and seating. There’s a Keurig coffee maker, microwave, basic dishes, dorm size refrigerator, you may want to bring a cooler. This boat is called Seascape, decorated with nautical decor. It has a new bathroom remodel. Houseboats have small hot water heaters so be mindful of that when showering. I recommend bringing all groceries because the closest stores are at least 8 miles away and I do recommend bringing drinking water. You can fish here but you are supposed to have an Indiana fishing license. There is only a microwave for cooking but you can use the grill and griddle in shelter. The sun rises and water view are stunning! Guest access There is a large gravel lot to park in, do not park behind the brown tiny house and block the driveway to the four Campsites, also please do not park in front of the dumpster, trash pick up is Friday morning. You will follow the sidewalk towards the dock to get to the Houseboat. There is no Uber and you will have to drive your own car to get around the area. Other things to note If you use a lot of electronics etc. you can/will trip breakers. Be mindful of electric use. It’s a boat so offers 60 amps of power. In the hottest of summer days condensation may form on the windows or AC because houseboats are not as insulated as regular homes. This is completely normal. This boat comes with two freestanding AC units and one is vented out the back slider so do not remove. Also, on the hottest of summer days, it is best to close the blinds in the afternoon to help cooling. NOTICE The boat is made of steel and if the fish are active at night they will bump the bottom of the boat and it can sound like knocking, if you are a light sleeper I recommend bringing earplugs. They also eat the algae on the bottom of the boat. Staying on the boat is not like staying in a house, and a fun and unique experience. Its like camping on water, there could be insects, etc. remember the shelter and fire pit area are common areas and could be used by other guests at the marina. We are small and typically a very peaceful place. Holiday weekends are a little busier. There is kayak rental and pontoon boat rides available. Fishing is allowed fishing license. You can purchase those online. Pets must be kept on leashes at all times!
