The boat was just as pictured but the views of the fall foliage were even better than imagined. It was like glamping on the water. Perfectly situated near all the attractions of Laconia and Meredith, walking distance to several great establishments. Property manager extremely friendly and helpful I was pleasantly surprised that pool and hot tub were still open this late in the season. We would definitely come back

We had a fantastic time at the stay. Very unique experience. Felt like we were cruising on the ocean with the waves moving the boat. Serene peaceful club. The hosts were extremely sweet about us extending our check out as we checked in late due to schedule conflicts. Very quick in responding and extremely helpful. Definitely recommend and will come back again. Thank you Lance and Kurt for letting us use your lovely boathouse. One of a kind experience.

My family of four had a great time staying on the houseboat! Kurt was super responsive and informative! The houseboat was clean as a whistle and there was PLENTY of space for all of us! We were able to walk downtown in a jiffy! A really convenient, close spot while remaining private and secluded from the hustle bustle.

This was a favorite of ours, but this year was disappointing. The younger “crew” with the exception of one older gentleman were rude, non responsive and dishonest. They also decided to empty the septic tank in the middle of our stay without letting us know and then went into the boat we were renting with out consent. Very unsettling. The boat wasn’t very clean, there was no toaster and only one key initially. The crew was in no hurry to help us when we needed the key or to check on the broken jacuzzi when we reported this, (we found out later they were already aware… why not just say that??) We did notice however the “crew” were very quick and accommodating to the guests who were renting or going out on their boats for the day.

This property was everything that was expected and more. The grounds and marina are beautiful and expertly groomed. The staff at the marina were at the ready for anythimg we needed. The Beach bar team were so friendly and inviting. As for the houseboat we rented it was wonderful and spotless. Truly an amazing experience. We also enjoyed that there was a lot to do within walking distance. We can see many anniversaries to come being spent here.

My family (husband and 2 kids) just returned from our stay over Labor Day Weekend and had the best time! The house boat was a lot more spacious than we anticipated, and was extremely clean on arrival. The kitchenette was perfect for making small meals and was nicely stocked. Having access to the private beach, pool, and beach bar was also a great plus. We were often the first ones out there in the morning. All of the staff were very friendly and helpful as well. Just remember to bring your own sheets/blankets! We forgot ours and had to go buy some. There were plenty of pillows though which was really nice since a lot of places usually lack on that end. Overall, we would definitely rent again and are even thinking about joining the Yacht Club!

Ahoy future renters! Read the listing carefully. Basic essentials like sheets, towels,, and soap are NOT included. This detail is listed under “Amenities.” The shower on-board the houseboat is not to be used and the toilet is just for “emergencies.” The marina bathhouse is to be used instead but it is not air conditioned and ventilation is poor. Spider webs adorn the partitions between the stalls. Otherwise, the view of the lake is great, especially from the upper deck. The dock hands were very hospitable and made our experience enjoyable.

We absolutely loved staying on the house boat. It was clean, adorable and in a convenient location. You can take a short walk to weird beach which was busy and fun. Or, you could take a short drive over to Meredith for restaurants and shopping: We loved watching sunrise and sunset in the upper deck as well as the Saturday fireworks! The marina beach, pool and restaurant were so nice to have close by. Any communication with the owner was easy and he always provided a quick friendly response. I highly recommend this property for a fun getaway!
