Angus and Lisa were great hosts. They give you privacy but are also very willing to help in any way. Staying on a houseboat was fun and the kids also really enjoyed the experience. There is a great deli very close by, where you can buy all the food and pre prepared meals you need. As stated, it is a fair way to Manhattan (and 30 min bus ride to the metro), but this is a cost effective and interesting way to spend a couple of nights. Highly recommended.
