The boathouse was as expected, it was a little hard to get used to no running water in the house-some people don't mind but I couldn't do it long term. The location was not private, as there was a road nearby and the hosts home. The boathouse was well equipped , had a comfy bed (and couch). Hammock and fire pit were very nice, especially since they had it all ready for a fire and all we had to do was light it. All in all a comfortable place.
