Incredible Oasis of fun!
The houseboat is located on an incredible 60 acre property, right on the river. The drive through the property provides you with incredible views of the property & doesn’t disappoint when the houseboat comes into view!
Ample parking, lg storage unit, outdoor fire pit and sauna (we used it 2 times per day), with a draw bridge that leads you to the houseboat. At night gorgeous string lights make it all look magical.
Houseboat is very spacious, with high end finishes & every amenity you may need is provided. River view from the sliding doors is breathtaking day/night & cooking inside on the amazing gas stove or outside on 1 of the boat deck bbqs makes meals simple and easy.
Outside kayaks/canoes (with all required safety gear) is provided with multiple entry points at the larger dock. We did a 2 hr kayak ride up the river- not seeing a sole or other property’s, lunching on a beautiful sandbar enjoying the incredible nature landscape. Ride back was fast as the current of the lake helps ease you along.
Hiking the property was amazing with various routes to take. (We did the river walk, hike to see the new Glass Orb being built and up to the lookout which gives you and amazing view of Lake Vernon and the ski hill!). Disc golf is also provided on a course that is spread out over the acreage.
Huntsville is minutes away to enjoy shopping, music & restaurants.
Hosts are incredible from booking to the minute you depart. Totally a repeat destination spot worth 5 stars!
