The place was incredible. Had everything we needed. We were worried about the claw foot bath tub BUT it was such a cute moment we didn't expect, to take a bath as a couple and the weekend was filled with movie moments. From the views, to the star gazing on top. We danced and laughed and it was an amazing stay! The host was very responsive and the information provided was accurate and didn't miss a beat. The town of Alpine is beautiful and with the local college in town you have everything you need within 10 minutes! Book this place, we can't wait to get back!

Kimberly was such a kind and helpful host — she made us feel right at home from the moment we arrived. The houseboat was peaceful and cozy, and the views were absolutely stunning. At night, the stars lit up the sky like nothing I’ve ever seen. Truly a one-of-a-kind experience in Alpine. We can’t wait to come back!

Enjoyed the stay!
It was cute, had a good location in Alpine, was a good distance from the places we wanted to see. Around 30 minutes to an hour from where we wanted to go. The little house was just the right size and was very accommodating. Perfect for a couple! It may be a little more awkward with friends, depending on your comfort level with people. But the view from the bed was amazing and we enjoyed every second of our trip!
