Relaxing and fun boathouse.
The boathouse was well equipped and plenty of games to keep busy. Wood and satellite worked great. A little musty smell but upper deck was wonderful.

Best location in Sanford
Doing business with Michael was a pleasure, and you couldn't ask for a better location for ease of access to bars and restaurants in Sanford. Some noise and some lake smells are to be expected. Toilets are pretty wonky too, but the boat house bathroom is close by. Shower was great - spacious and plenty of hot water for 4 of us.

Houseboating
First time on a houseboat, very interesting and enjoyable. Had gale winds and could feel the boat moving at times, would have been tolerable with proper buoy. All and all it was a nice time, town was just blocks away, and very quaint.

Quite unique adventure
Stayed over Christmas to visit family and wanted something fun and different for times when not visiting. This fit the bill. Had a very enjoyable time. Hopefully next time mother nature doesn't send a freeze that way so we can enjoy the awesome top deck. Side note, the bike trail is great and an added bonus.

Terrific experience
My husband has always wanted to stay on a houseboat. We found this one and booked it. We thoroughly enjoyed our time on the houseboat. It had everything you could possibly need for your stay. Michael met us at the dock and showed us around and how things operate. The rooftop deck is awesome for relaxing and catching a beautiful sunrise and sunset. Loved the experience!
