Welcome Aboard​
Where tiny-house simplicity meets the rhythm of the water
to form one uniquely Nomadic vacation experience.
- Sleeping Quarters -
Our Houseboats can comfortably accommodate one to four guests (depending on the houseboat), with double and single bed options. Sleeping quarters are communal with no separation, so make sure you love the one you're with.
- Availability -
We accept nightly stays starting JuneMemorial Day Weekend thru mid October. There's a two-night minimum and if your dates aren't available, please Contact Us to see how we can get you floating.
- CHECKING IN & OUT -
Check-in is between 3pm & 7pm. Your Houseboat will be dockside awaiting your arrival. Your host will return you dockside at a prearranged time on the morning of your departure, and you are free to leave anytime prior to 11am.
- where do i pee -
Nomad and Roam are fully equipped with a head (marine toilet) in - what we've been told - are quite luxurious little houseboat bathrooms. And there are solid wood doors, so privacy is assured. There's also a sink and shower for your general hygienic needs.
- Staying aboard -
A cross between blissful floating & simple living, your experience aboard our Houseboats will be a decidedly unique one. But you can rest assured that your comfort & safety are well covered.
Depending on your chosen Houseboat, you will enjoy:
~Outdoor decks with comfy seating & propane fire pit
~One petite (though luxurious!) bathroom
~Kitchen with running water, refrigerator or icebox, and stove
~Propane cooking grill
~Propane heater
~Access to the lake off the stern
~Canoe (accommodates two guests)
While Roam & Nomad love a good tour around the lake, they will remain securely moored during your visit except when your host is at the helm. Guests are not authorized to operate our Houseboats. Instead, you just get to relax and enjoy life afloat! (and we can arrange separately for a privately chartered cruise if you'd like...)
This is How We Float
How Does a Houseboat Stay Work?
- Arrive -
Meet us at a to-be-determined location for 2026 and we'll help you unload. Bring what you need - and leave what you don't - for your time aboard.
- Introductions -
We'll welcome you aboard Nomad or Roam and make sure you're comfortably acquainted before we shove off to your mooring.
- Breathe -
You're on the lake.
- Float -
You'll be connected to one of our private moorings until you're ready to. You are welcome to leave the Houseboat at your leisure via the canoe provided.
- return to port -
On the day of your departure, your host will return you (and your houseboat) to shore at the prearranged time ... perhaps a bit more buoyant than when you came.
