    -Begin your mornings with the soothing sounds of songbirds as the sun rises over the water. End you evening with a glass of wine and the moonlight and stars dancing off the waters edge. A 25 minute kayak paddle to the rainbow river and a 5 minute boat ride.

On the opposite side of the property, there is a small muscadine grape vineyard, along with a small citrus and mango tree orchard, both of which require regular maintenance.

This place was wonderful for our peaceful, nature filled visit! The boat perfectly matched the description, and the hosts were so communicative and offered many amenities with an easy check-in/out. The property itself was so quiet and relaxing, and the bathroom was spotless with the bed being very comfortable. The size of the house boat was perfect for 2 of us, and we had an amazing time exploring the beautiful rainbow river. We have truly never seen water more clear or more gorgeous. I would absolutely recommend any solo travelers or couples to book here for your next stay!

What a special place; right on the river! Very nicely done and comfortable; lots of little extras like pillows on the chairs with candles out at the fire pit. Coffee and cream provided! Enjoyed a short paddle before leaving.
