Little slice of Heaven
My husband and I loved our adventure on the houseboat. The host was available for questions and answered us promptly. The tiny house had everything we need to be able to rest and relax.

Gorgeous Views, Fun Experience
The owner is very clear and communicative. We kayaked to the house and enjoyed both the short journey and the novel experience of boating to your home. You definitely need to make sure to follow the rules of the cabin due to it being off grid and limited solar power, but if you do, it should treat you well. Very peaceful part of the lake (while we were there), beautiful foggy sunrises, and dark skies for stargazing!

Our new yearly family spot!
This was our 2nd time staying at the boathouse. We definitely felt more comfortable navigating all the instructions this time. The house was clean and ready for us when we arrived. The picnic table had been removed since our stay the previous Labor Day but there was a table and chairs, along with 2 lounge chairs that were very comfortable. We only stayed 2 nights so not being able to charge our devices wasn’t a big deal but would definitely recommend bringing a portable battery. Overall, my family and I LOVE this place and look forward to returning for years to come. Gaylene is a great communicator and sets clear guidelines for your stay, which we appreciate greatly.

Great place to stay and getaway
The property was just what we wanted. We wanted to unplug, get away from the crowds and put the phones down. It was awesome, we saw a few people, but it wasn't really a distraction, and we had the beautiful night skies to ourselves. Canoed and swam in the clear waters of the lake, and hiked in Smoky Mountains National Park.
If you want to escape the daily grind, and relax this is the place. I highly recommend it.
The only small nitpick that was easily overcome is that because of lack of cell service it is difficult to communicate with the owner. However, all the positives far out weigh this small complaint.

Fantastic peaceful lake stay
This is our second time staying at the amazing boathouse on Fontana. Gorgeous views and a wonderful place to relax and enjoy the quiet in this off grid home. We had so much fun, swimming, paddling around in the kayak and grilling fabulous meals on the deck.

Perfect getaway for the adventurous
My wife and I stayed for three days with our pup and it couldnt have been a better getaway. Everything from check in to check out was so smooth; Gaylene is an awesome host and will help with whatever questions you have. Since this is a unique getaway, it does come with detailed rules and instructions to make your stay optimal so if you follow all details, your stay will be amazing. Prepare for hot days and nights in the Summer though as the houseboat does heat up quickly. All in all, the stay was awesome and we will definitely return in the future.

A Piece of Heaven
Took us about an hour to canoe to Gaylene's boathouse from Oros Landing. Boathouse had everything supplied, as stated for our four day stay. We barely used any of the solar power (used to power lights, refrigerator, water pump, etc.), but we spent the entire time outside swimming and fishing when it was daylight. Had no cell phone reception, but we expected that, as was indicated, & was more than happy to get away from all the "noise." Would definitely recommend, without reservation, Gaylene’s boathouse for those that are adventurous.

This was my fourth trip to the houseboat and it never disappoints!! The weather was a little rainy on Sunday, but the clouds broke out in the afternoon and it was beautiful. Take advantage of the kayak!! There is so much beauty to take in.

Quite an experience
Gaylene was great, but instructions to get to house boat were unclear and distance to boat needed to be more specific. Focus was more on pictures and leaving the boat clean and sending pictures to renter. Pictures of boat were misleading. Definitely needs to be a small generator for specific needs and not sure how often mattress cover was washed after each visit. Gaylene did do an excellent job in meeting our needs for the solar power.

Too short!
This was my third trip to the boathouse and my first going solo and first in the fall. It’s gorgeous and the lake was warmer than it was outside. Only negative thing is that I was only able to spend one night due to a last minute family obligation. This place is pure magic. Every time I go I scour the internet for houseboats for sale. It’s not a typical “vacation”, but if it sounds like something you’d love you absolutely will.

My family and I love this lake and area because of its proximity to all the things we love to do like water sports, mountain biking, white water rafting, and just relaxing on this beautiful 30 mile long wilderness lake.
この宿泊施設のオーナーになった理由
We loved the idea of being totally off the grid and living on solar power. It is a little like glamping where you have all the comforts of a solid roof over your head in inclement weather but can still relax with movies and games while cooking and grilling under cover. There is very little boat traffic in the area and the water is perfect for swimming in the summer. Locals love this area as there is great fishing in this lake especially during the cooler months.
この宿泊施設の特徴
My husband and I love the super comfortable bed and the spacious slate tiled shower. My favorite thing to do at night is relax with my favorite beverage, watch the moon rise over the mountains, and then watch a movie powered by the sun!
