This is such a cute spot to have a nice getaway! Very nice property and owner. A little further down the road the owners don’t seem to take as much pride in their property but this one is a GEM!

Absolutely perfect!

The cabin was just perfect. Close enough to town but far enough away to enjoy the quiet. Capt Joe was very attentive to the walkway, as they had quite a bit of rain prior to our arrival and areas were flooded. Would highly recommend this property for anyone looking to be on water. to our atrival

The Slip Away was the weekend get-away that I did not know I needed. Every aspect of this cozy lake property was superb. It was the perfect place to unwind, do some fishing, and enjoy the scenery. I will definitely visit again!

Great little getaway

Really great views and access to the lake and river. Feels remote, but still was close to grocery stores if feeling the urge to stay in and not go anywhere! Very nice sunsets and kayaking around the lake was a nice experience. Host is very communicative but not overly so - just right!

We absolutely loved our stay!

My wife and I stayed in this cabin for four nights for our 25th wedding anniversary. Just as the VRBO title claims, this is truly an enchanting floating cabin that you will find to be just as the photos show. The cabin was very clean and well maintained. The host was very quick to respond to any communications. Thank you Captain Joe for your hospitality. My wife and I will definitely be back soon.

Perfect For Us!

This boathouse was a surprise to me, we've been to Monroe many times to visit our kids and grands, but never knew about it. I was searching VRBO and came across the boathouse and am I glad I found it!! So clean, comfortable, amazing owner who was on top of all communications, we have a tritoon, 22 ft....had no idea if this lake and boat ramp could accommodate but he assured me it could. We docked right beside the boathouse under shelter.The bed was so comfortable. It was great waking up to a fantastic view. One evening we forgot to grab supper, got back to the boathouse and he had left us spaghetti and sauce!!!!! It was perfect. No complaints at all.

I love this place!

I don’t give 5 star’s generously! And usually a rare rating from me. All I can say, when visiting Monroe, I plan around open dates just to stay here. The best hidden gem if you enjoy quiet, laid back, lake life with a couple of friends or family. Checking the calendar now for another visit in the fall, or maybe sooner.

Relaxing getaway!

My husband and I really enjoyed our stay here. House was very clean and had eveything we needed. Use of kayaks was huge bonus. Property location was close to lots of restaurants and stores, but just far enough from everything to still feel remote and peaceful. We will definitely be back!
