"This was our second stay with this host at the second of their two houseboats and we were equally happy with both stays. The properties were spotless and exactly as advertised. Plenty of room to relax and enjoy the serenity of the river. The boats are extremely well stocked with everything we could need. Much more fun and private than a condo or hotel room. We will definitely be staying again."
