Amazing houseboat experience
Great place to stay, the views out large houseboat windows were incredible and felt very connected to water/nature.. Catfishing at night was hopping. You won't want to leave this place.

Great place
Everything would have been wonderful except for the attitude of the owner who was quick to blame us for something we had no control of. We were quite content and lucky the bath house was so convenient because one of the toilets on the boat did not work. He insisted it was our fault and was quick to blame. In his defense he did send someone out very quickly to see if it could be fixed.

Wonderful time on the Doc Side Dog House
Myself and 3 other ladies had an amazing time on the boat. The bedrooms, barhrooms, and kitchen areas were clean. The location of the boat at the Marina was perfect.

Perfect location and FUN!
I've never spent the night on a boat, but my brother said we may run out of hot water for our showers (it was my brother & his girlfriend, me, and my cousin). We never had that problem! Yes, it was dock spider season, which meant that if we wiped the webs off the outdoor seating, the webs were back the next day; however, I NEVER saw a spider inside. The location was PERFECT and it really was neat to be on a boat and feel it move with the waves. I slept like a log. The only hiccup we found was having to launder all of the linens before check-out at 10am. Probably easier for folks who are driving, but we were all visiting from far away. Next time I'll try to find a linen rental service (I've used those when renting in Maine).

Loved it!
The houseboat was just as advertised and the marina was quiet. There were five in our party and there was plenty of space! My favorite time was going to the top deck early in the morning as the sun’s glow hit the water and other surroundings. Truly peaceful. The town of Havre de Grace has lots of shops and restaurants to enjoy. I would love to return.

Tournament Weekend
We were in town for a lacrosse tournament. This property was perfect! We all enjoyed the houseboat. We all had plenty of space. The neighbors were all pleasant and the kids liked walking to the nearby ice cream shop at night. We would definitely recommend this property and stay again.

Enjoyable
The weather was cooperative and the surroundings were very nice. The local people were very kind and helpful. Lovely town and easy to navigate. Was a bit disapointed that the slide was not accessable as it seemed to be a focal point of the VRBO pictures. It was a bit of a disapointment that there was a HUGE yacht totally blocking the sight line of the beautiful river. The accomodations were very comfortable with the exception of the "master" bed mattress. It was a bit old. Loved being on the water and if any one would complain about the spiders and webs, shame on them. Being in this kind of relaxed nature is why you stay on the water by choice. The owner/manager was very quick on getting back via e-mail and was helpful and kind in their communication.

This was my second time to the houseboat and it was wonderful! It is conveniently located and many small shops, restaurants, brewery/bars are walking distance, and a short drive to wineries. Also a park right across from the marina.

Not clean and owner was rude
The property was infested with spider webs. We understood that there might be some outside rodent exposure, but these were cobwebs that had not been dealt with in weeks note the 24 hours indicated by the owner. We did not even stay due to the risk of our health. One of the members of the party is extremely allergic and the quantity and aging of the webs were a risk to health, Reached out to the owner and was treated very badly.

Lovely house boat and lovely marina. We had a amazing time with our boat tied up to it, however the marina charges $60 per night to have your boat tied up, not $5 per night.
