Captain Ron met us to check in. Very nice and helpful. The boat is docked in a private, peaceful area. You can hear some distant traffic noise and occasional faint train, but otherwise very quiet. The boat is older, with ongoing repairs and painting, but was clean and cozy. Has a large, full shower with hot water and a toilet that is similar to RV toilets. At the top of the dock is a building with full bathrooms and "regular" flushing toilets, as well as laundry facilities. The kitchen is equipped well with appliances and dishes. We enjoyed sitting on the upper deck, watching the fish jump and enjoying the river view. A few people live in the neighboring boats, but everyone was extremely nice. If you are adventurous type, that enjoys outdoor/camping/"roughing it" experiences, this houseboat is a great choice.
