Woonboten in Washington

'I got sent up last minute to Gig Harbor for work. Quickly learned there aren’t many hotels around. Wow was that a blessing in disguise. Found this boat and said, “yep, I’m in.” Literally the best work trip I’ve her had. The boat was roomy and comfortable. The harbor is phenomenal and beautiful. All but one afternoon there was a bald eagle flying really close by. Every morning walking out on the stern and smelling the water was awesome. To top it off the shower was hot, the bed was warm,...

'The Blue Goose is right next door to the most happening spot in Gig Harbor, The Tides Tavern. Designated parking was a huge advantage. The boat itself is beautiful and nicely appointed and the host was very responsive to our emails.'

'It was delightful! The Shamrockin yacht is clean, comfortable, and has everything you need!! Loved being on the water and be unable to walk places. Hosts were lovely. I’m booking time there this summer. Have to visit again!'

'My spouse and I had a wonderful stay on this houseboat 5+stars! It was very clean and comfortable for the two of us. Rooftop deck is amazing and the stairs to the rooftop deck are skinny and steep; the hosts shared that it might be more comfortable to go down them backwards, which was a great tip. We would love to return for a future Lake Chelan trip.'

'Or experience was amazing! We slept under the stars and woke up to sea lions! The boat slept me and my wife comfortably, and we were able to get dressed and ready for a wedding with the marina restrooms with relative ease. It feels a little like camping on the water, so if that's your vibe then this is the place for you! Would totally stay again!'

'The little houseboat was exactly as described, and stocked with everything you could need. The hosts have anticipated even what we hadn’t thought of: a yeti cooler, paddle boards, Bluetooth speakers, local coffee, soy sauce… the list goes on. We did a virtual check in, which was flawless. The area felt safe and secure with parking available. And a lakefront activities center for boat and kayak rentals was right next door. It’s rare in this time you come away from a place receiving more than...

'I stayed two nights on this sweet little boat and enjoyed the cozy comfort. The hosts were very quick with communication and helpful with details. The boat was well stocked, and the bed cozy, you can look up at the stars from your cozy bed! The marina was quiet with just a couple of other boaters walking on the docks now and then. Everyone very friendly. You have to leave the boat and walk 200+ steps to go up to the showers and bathroom. The boat has a space heater and battery lantern which keep...

'We have checked out - thanks for the stay!'

'Very enjoyable stay but not as private as a typical VRBO.'
