Best Family Experience

We came for Silverwood and left with a lifetime of memories! Waking up each morning on the lake was amazing. It’s close to amenities and overall a great experience!!! We will be back and we will bring friends with us next time!!!!!!

Very quiet and peaceful place! The place is a bit outdated but we still enjoyed it. There is fair warning that you have to pay to dock a boat and pay parking but what isn't stated is there's no place for trailer parking, that's our only complaint.

Great location and unique stay

We were looking for an affordable place to stay while vacationing to Silverwood and this place hit the mark! Fit our family of 5 perfectly. Lots of room and loved seeing the sail boats. Beds were comfy and the place was clean. Will definitely be back

Fun, comfortable family spot, close to Silverwood.

It’s like staying at your favorite uncles boat house. Comfortable beds, two bathrooms and a lovely upstairs deck over looking the bay. Mitch has everything you need if you want to cook in.

Fun experience to stay on the lake. The master bedroom is very isolated from the downstairs. I did not feel comfortable leaving young kids downstairs but other than that it was a fun lake experience

Can't beat being on the water!

This home was great. Yes, it's a bit outdated, but the location makes up for it. This property is a must-see if you're a boater or a lake lover. The price was great as well, considering neighboring properties, some even on the same doc, are listed at 3X the price as this property. Thanks for having us. We will be back!

The home was very clean. We stayed in July for a trip to Silverwood. It was close to the amusement park and they have a nice covered patio to play games in the evening. The second night we were there the house key broke off in the lock, not a great thing to have happen after a long, hot day at the park. We were able to call and they gave us the code for the second key box. The hous

Disliked: Listing accuracy
First off, I was notified an hour before our arrival that the cleaners were not done cleaning and that we would not be able to check in until after 5:00. Very inconvenient.Second, when I reserved the houseboat it stated that it slept 6. A week before we were to be there the confirmation e mail informed me that it only slept 4. There were 5 in our party. Another inconvenience.Third, although it was clean inside, the pictures that you use for advertisement could be newer. No where in the pictures of the outside does it show boats tied up along side of the house boat. I assumed that we were at the end of the dock with no one next to or in front of us.Lastly, it was an okay place to stay seeing how we really weren't there except to sleep.

The Boathouse Experience

So fun to stay in a boathouse! Surrounded by water, wake up and walk outside to see the marina around you and the mountains in the back, so cool. I really enjoyed waking up in the morning and sitting on the back deck with some breakfast. If you've been on a boat, you know how they rock around. If your thinking this boat rocks, it does not, it is anchored down and is not going anywhere. This boathouse in particular is quite dated, lots of little things that could be repaired, such as the hallway floor which is seeping down. But besides these little things that could be fixed, the house was very clean, no previous pets, and it was really fun to stay in.

Great VRBO option

Float home was spacious for our family to spread out. Everything's was as listed. Suggestions: update the standard check-in email with relevant information. The "10-digit code" doesn't exist. The wifi information is inaccurate. The downstairs TV wasn't functional and would randomly turn off after about 30 seconds. Turn the lights off in the locked rooms. The light emanating from them gives off creepy vibes like someone is in there.

Fun Weekend Getaway!

We had a great stay at the float house! While the interior is a bit dated, it didn’t affect our experience. The upstairs back covered deck was a favorite spot for us to relax. We enjoyed walking to The Dock for dinner, which had delicious food and live outdoor music. For breakfast, we walked to Ralph's coffee shop, which was also a pleasant experience. We boated to Bayview and had to arrange moorage on our own, which cost an extra $75 per night. It would be more convenient if the spot in front of the house could be reserved at time of booking and the fee included in the rental price. The walk from the float house to the marina office was quite long. The kitchen was well stocked, and the bathrooms provided nice towels and toiletries. However, we felt the 10 a.m. checkout time was a bit early, especially since we were leaving by boat. A checkout time of 11 a.m. would have been more reasonable. While we received an email offering a paid late checkout option, we had already spent $150 on boat parking, so we opted not to.

Comfortable and homey

It might have been the time of year, May, as it was quiet and peaceful. Lots of room in the home and a loft/ deck that you can see out across the lake. The upstairs bed was very comfortable. Kitchen is well equipped and the home was very clean. We enjoyed our stay.
