We loved our stay at Captain Joe’s place. It feels secluded but is really close to town. The inside of the house is amazing. Up to date design and everything you need to feel at home.We didn’t have much luck fishing but we had a blast trying. Such a unique property provided the perfect place to celebrate our 40th wedding anniversary Will definitely be back!

The property was very clean and had the basic necessities. The ramp was a little hard to manuever bringing down luggage but it was no issue. Make sure to bring food items such as condiments. Spices and dishes were provided as well as coffee pods. The host had great communication and response time. We will definitely stay again!
Stayed 2 nights in Apr 2026
Response from VrboOwner on 27 Apr 2026
Maranda was easy to host, friendly and good communication. The river level is very low due to work on a dam south of us. We had to separate our gangway so it could reach the dock and not cause damage. In high water, sometimes the gangway is level. In low water it’s steep.

I’m a water baby, I have my Coast Guard Captains License and I enjoy operating anything that floats. I love engaging in New challenging activities.

Why they chose this property

The unique feature of Slip Away, it’s floating. You absolutely can’t get any closer to the water. It’s super quiet and relaxing.

What makes this property unique

The level of relaxation in this environment is second to none!!!!
