Bev and Lloyd were the perfect hosts. They were perfectly accomadating and the property was one of a kind. Life on a marina for a week was so much fun we decided we want to retire on one!

Something to do for everyone. We spent time on the kayaks, SUP's, and the pedal boat all supplied by Kadow's Marina. When not on the water the kids enjoyed fishing from the dock for hours, watching the deer, otters, and osprey catch fish. Would recommend this stay!

Nice houseboat at the end of a marina made for a very unique experience. The hosts, Bev and Loyd, are very friendly and hospitable.

I knew I would be heading into a challenging decision in my life, so I wanted to find something on the water to visit with local Vancouver friends and just be in a quiet, peaceful place while I navigated some changes. We spent hours on the deck just listening to the birds and frogs and visiting. I plan to come back regularly. This place will always have special memories for me. Bev was outstanding, an amazing host, and very sweet to check on me. :)

Thank you to our great host Bev and Lloyd. Lloyd met my brother and his family and transported all of their "stuff" on the boat saving them time at check in. The house was great! The kids thought there where ghosts that were opening the drawers in the kitchen, HA!! That is what happens when your house is on the water. My family had a great time catching fish off the dock and looking for the otters. House was well stocked with linens and kitchen items. A great place for my family to gather that was close to our parents, but not a stuffy hotel.

Loved this property. Lloyd and Bev go above and beyond with communication and assistance if it is required. House is lovely as is the view. Wish we'd have been there in warmer weather but will have to come back for that so we can further enjoy the river.

Hosts Bev and Lloyd were over and above incredible! This was a girls weekend with our teenage daughters and slip Z was just as advertised, peaceful and at the end of a row of slips. You feel like your own private section where our group could paddle, kayak and sit by the fire. We truly felt welcomed and blessed to have spent the weekend at such a special location! Thank you Bev and Lloyd for a great experience. We will be back!

This is a unique and spectacular rental. Bev and Lloyd were such helpful and responsive hosts. It’s clear they love sharing their space and want the best for their guests. We stayed during a storm and weren’t able to explore the beach or use the kayaks so we will be back! Their art and studio is simply amazing, the house boat is spacious and beautiful, comfy, cozy and well planned for a large group. This was my families favorite get-away, we arrived right after a major snow and ice-storm and the hosts went above and beyond to make our stay happen. We enjoyed a fire on the covered porch and hope to do the same in the summer after swimming right off the deck!

We stayed at Slip Z for a staff retreat. It was the perfect blend of quiet relaxation and staff development time. The hosts are super to work with and gave us our space to enjoy the time while there. The kayaks were a fun distraction from work and the house is very clean, the kitchen well stocked and the beds comfortable. I would definitely stay there again when I'm in the area.

10/10

We held our staff retreat at Slip Z and it was the perfect setting to combine relaxation with staff development time. It's quiet, relaxing, and fun to use the kayaks and the hosts are wonderfully friendly people who give you your space to enjoy the time away. I will definitely stay there again in the future given the opportunity to spend time in the area again.

WOW! This location was beautiful, clean, secluded, and so FUN we never wanted to leave to see the town because we were having so much fun. The lovely hosts even offered us a ride on their Pontoon. We made so many memories and laughed like kids! We also got to see a lot of amazing wildlife! A true adventure! Bev & Lloyd, let me just tell you we haven’t stopped talking about our trip and probably won’t. Thank you for being such great hosts and providing such a lovely space!

A lovely, peaceful escape on a Columbia River offshoot. Wildlife - birds in particular abound, and fishing looks promising from this floating house with access to kayaks and a paddle boat. A river beach and trails nearby (as well as restaurants and shopping not to far away) complete the experience.

Our family (both adults and kids) truly enjoyed everything about our stay! It was so comfortable and so neat to be on the water. Bev was so wonderful and welcoming. We highly recommend staying here. I’m already ready to plan our next visit! Thank you for the great hospitality!

Ladies weekend this year was great. The home on the water is just beautiful and fully stocked with everything you could need plus more. The artwork and art studio were an unexpected treat. Beverly and Lloyd made us feel extra special. We highly recommend.

Aloha everyone, We are a family born and raised in Hawaii. The ocean is our second home, and moving to the mainland (away from the ocean) was hard. We found Bev and Lloyds river house, and stayed with our sons (1, 9, 14) in March. When I say, we Hawaiians bring the sun, I mean it. We had sun every day we were there. Yes, we also had rain, but we were grateful for the son. The kids loved it in march when we went. We Kayaked every day, and played games in the house. It was amazing. We booked a stay in June, and prayed for sun! The day before we left, it was raining!!! When we got to the river house, it was sunny!!! We had blazing sun for the 3 days we stayed!!! We are so blessed and lucky. Our family once again had a great time. We prepared a luau at the house and enjoyed a Hawaiian feast for my husbands birthday. Our children are just obsessed with the kayaks, the beach (caterpillar island), and the birds. You can see storks, bald eagles, and even otters everywhere. Honestly, we are in love with Bev and Lloyds house. There hospitality is out of this world. The house has everything you need and more. The most important part is the love that it is in the house. You can feel it. Take your family here ASAP. There's no WIFI (perfect for QT time). Bottom line is that if you live in Washington, or Oregon, you need to rent this house. You will be outside, living in nature (beaching ,tanning, kayaking, and enjoying life). Its only 30 min outside Portland. Listen, this place is a piece of home for us. GO RENT IT NOW.

Ooo my goodness I don't even know where to start!! First of all Bev and Lloyd were the absolute best hosts I have ever experienced if we needed anything AND WE DID they were amazing at helping, even letting us borrow their meat thermometer for our dinner. I could go on and on but I will say this home will never disappoint! We are booking again hopefully for August. 😊

The house, amenities, and location were top notch. The house is situated at the end of the marina, so it gives you the perfect feeling of escape surrounded by beautiful nature. We all enjoyed kayaking and paddle boating. Thanks for sharing, Bev and Lloyd! My son is an aspiring artist and especially appreciated and explored your art, Bev!
