Perfect weekend getaway
The stay was perfect for us! A 2 burner stove, small freezer, mid size fridge, A/C, everything you need for bathroom & kitchen. Bright our kayaks and paddled around the bay right from the dock. Very relaxing. Great food at few local spots around town, a small, well stocked mercantile within walking distance, and super friendly people everywhere.

Beautiful location!
Super cute cottage with a stunning view. You can access the water right from your deck! Everything was perfect except for the bed. It was 100% unacceptable, not 99%….100%. Check to make sure they have replaced the mattress before booking this unit.
This was an amazing place to stay, very clean, so cozy & being close to the water was so nice…definitely didn’t want to leave & hope to return.

Incredible view, relaxing getaway.
We've stayed at this particular float home twice because it is such a special place. I took my kayak which was great to explore the docks and bay. They didn't provide paper products (no paper towels and only 1/2 roll toilet paper for 4 night stay) so make sure you pick up necessities before getting there. The Lake House restaurant is open this summer and good food. On Saturday night there were 3 different bars in Bayview with live music to enjoy.

Awesome View
The "cabin" is awesome, the only negative I would say about it is the plywood walkway between docks needs to be replaced, it's weak and old the house also list's to one side quite a bit. ( but it did add some laughs for us) Awesome view in the morning.
