This was a unique and beautiful stay! There were three adult women in our party, and it felt spacious enough for all of us (and it can accommodate more). The upstairs deck was wonderful and had plenty of space and furnishings for entertaining and dining for a family or group. We enjoyed that space immensely in the mornings and evenings.

Easy check-in process, everything was super clean and the beds were comfortable. The marina facilities were really nice and we loved our morning coffee and evening beverages on the top deck of the boat. The location was really convenient, walked across the street to Slidewaters, next door to take the boat to Stehekin and rented jet skis next door as well. Fun week with our teens, brought a standup paddle board so we could paddle out of the marina for a quick swim. Thanks for the great stay.

This was a great place to stay. Easy check in, prompt and helpful communication when needed and everything was easy to access. The property owners were very kind and made our stay wonderful. The club house came in handy and was a nice place to relax, grab a cup of coffee, play some games with the kids, etc. We even went next door to rent a boat for a day. We enjoyed Lake Chelan on the water and it was a memorable experience. Thank you! Highly recommend!
