Our stay April 10-16

We enjoyed our stay on the floating bungalow. It is the perfect location, a short walk to downtown and the many restaurants and breweries. We were also just steps from the river walk and near several beautiful parks.

Simply amazing!

This is basically a cool apartment on the water, normal bathroom, shower, and kitchen appliances. The best boat house we have ever stayed on and that has been a few. A must stay if you are in the area.
