Expectations Exceeded!
What a wonderful water experience in beautiful Sturgeon Bay! The house boat was exceptionally clean and had all the amenities and more! In fact, the 3 on boat air conditioners came in handy at night. The friendly staff was attentive to our every need. The owner was even kind enough to stop by and check if everything was going well. We have already rebooked for next year. If you love water and the great outdoors you will love staying here versus a hotel.

Great little cottage on the water
We had an excellent stay. Great location/home base for exploring the peninsula. Staff is very polite and accommodating. Views (sunrise/sunset) from the rooftop patio are amazing.

Lovely and unique!
We rented the Mary 1 for our stay in Door County. It is a nice houseboat, well equipped and very comfortable. It was the perfect spot to enjoy all of Door county. The staff, as well as the owner were all very welcoming, helpful and friendly. It just so happened that we were up during Maritime week and we got to enjoy great fireworks with a fantastic view from the upper deck of the boat. The club house was great for watching the Packer game, the shower facilities were well kept and clean. We had easy access to a grill, which we used almost every day. I would definitely rent this houseboat again!

Gentle waves rock you to sleep
We could not have been more surprised on how much we enjoyed our time on the Mary I! This floating cottage was our hub for exploring Door County. Everything that was described about the accommodations and amenities were spot on; to the nicely stocked kitchenette with all of the cooking pots, pans and utensils to the use of the pool and grill. The gentle movement of the cottage with the waves made for a fun experience. No sea-sickness here! The view from the deck allowed us to see the boats on parade in the channel and to soak up the sun! Thanks to Autumn for getting our weekend off to a great start and to an innovative marina owner to allow us to experience what it feels like to live on the water.
