About this docked boat rental

Welcome to Dexter Run Farms.
This Beached Houseboat with a lower sleep cabin is located on our remote 300-acre farm in the colorful countryside of Meigs Co, Ohio. The boat sits on its own hillside location with an open yard, surrounded by woods, cow fields and lots of wildlife. The boat is fully furnished with 3 separate sleeping quarters and plenty of deck space. An efficiency galley kitchen gives you the chance to create easy meals or snacks to enjoy while sitting outside. There is an outdoor grill or fire pit with a cooking grate. Explore our many miles of hiking trails that lead throughout our farmstead or just sit and relax in the jacuzzi. The shared Pond is just 3/4 of a mile on the other side of the hill.

Our summer nights surely WOW our guests with the starry nights and lightening bugs.

Overall we had a great stay, however there were a few things that weren't. The jacuzzi was dirty and I spent an hour cleaning it before we could even use it. We kept our food in the microwave as the ants (which i know come with nature) were everywhere. The hot water needs a regualtor or something. Im no plumber but the hot water is dangerously hot. You finally get the temperature dialed in and literally 20 seconds later its scolding hot water followed by ice cold before the hot water wakes up again and burns you. If you bring small children or are a diabetic or have trouble with feeling temperature be very careful. Everyone else, just be ready to jump back when it happens. The pond is located on the owner's property and you walk along their home to access it then take the trail back to the water. The trail needs some attention, real ankle breaker and the pedal boat and boat were both half sunk. 2 kayaks but nowhere to drop in at. Pump for slide did not work. Someone was camping at the lake and took over the Pavillion and the whole area with their stuff everywhere. We did enjoy the quiet evenings and sounds of the birds and so many stars at night. The place has serious potential but definitely needs some sprucing up especially as its so far out away from any attractions, the property so be able to be the vacation
