My family of 4 stayed over the Canada Holiday. We’ve camped in an RV before and this felt similar but with the awesomeness of being on a boat. It was a super unique experience and my kids loved it. Although they wished the bathroom on board was working. It was probably a little too hot for us to be without AC, but the nights were cool and sleeping wasn’t difficult. Easily walking distance to town, easy drives as well. Port Stanley was great!
