Mark's place is amazing! We loved every minute of the houseboat life. Waking up in the morning and sitting on the deck with a cup of tea and a book, jumping off the dock for a swim, al fresco dining while watching the sunset, and enjoying a peaceful night sleep. There are so many different types of birds to watch - Osprey, blue heron, geese, ducks, swallows and sparrows. We loved being able to paddle around in the kayaks. They are lightweight and easier to get in than I was expecting. Mark was so kind and helpful. This was a wonderful and unique vacation and it was hard to leave!
