The outdoor space of this boat is great! The large front deck has comfy chairs to enjoy your morning coffee or afternoon snooze. The upper deck has chairs perfect to stretch out in the sun or cuddle up and enjoy the evening sunset.

Enjoyed the atmosphere

The Sleyth is der and could use some updates. The air conditioning was not suficient for the heat of the day. It did not circulate well enough to keep the entire boat cool. The shower house was great and we enjoyed the stay.

You'll love The Sleuth

Josh and Michelle went out of their way to communicate promptly with us both prior to our getaway and during our stay. The location of the property was excellent and the property was safe and clean. Only because of the age of the houseboat there were areas that were a bit worn but nothing of concern. It's evident that they have updated with great amenities, furniture, mattress (very comfortable) linens and high end soaps etc. The shower/bath facility was convenient and spotless. Restaurants in Port Clinton were great, lovely port city with a great downtown and access to ferry exceptional. We had a relaxing getaway and would recommend staying with Michelle and Josh as your hosts. I believe they have other houseboats and working on new additions to their fleet but don't hesitate with The Sleuth. End of the pier so great view and felt private. They certainly made us feel at home.
