Great Experience

Something to do for everyone. We spent time on the kayaks, SUP's, and the pedal boat all supplied by Kadow's Marina. When not on the water the kids enjoyed fishing from the dock for hours, watching the deer, otters, and osprey catch fish. Would recommend this stay!

Wonderful weekend

Hosts Bev and Lloyd were over and above incredible! This was a girls weekend with our teenage daughters and slip Z was just as advertised, peaceful and at the end of a row of slips. You feel like your own private section where our group could paddle, kayak and sit by the fire. We truly felt welcomed and blessed to have spent the weekend at such a special location! Thank you Bev and Lloyd for a great experience. We will be back!

What an amazing Get-Away!

This is a unique and spectacular rental. Bev and Lloyd were such helpful and responsive hosts. It’s clear they love sharing their space and want the best for their guests. We stayed during a storm and weren’t able to explore the beach or use the kayaks so we will be back! Their art and studio is simply amazing, the house boat is spacious and beautiful, comfy, cozy and well planned for a large group. This was my families favorite get-away, we arrived right after a major snow and ice-storm and the hosts went above and beyond to make our stay happen. We enjoyed a fire on the covered porch and hope to do the same in the summer after swimming right off the deck!

Quiet and Relaxing Retreat

We held our staff retreat at Slip Z and it was the perfect setting to combine relaxation with staff development time. It's quiet, relaxing, and fun to use the kayaks and the hosts are wonderfully friendly people who give you your space to enjoy the time away. I will definitely stay there again in the future given the opportunity to spend time in the area again.

Seriously! This is the stay you’re looking for!

WOW! This location was beautiful, clean, secluded, and so FUN we never wanted to leave to see the town because we were having so much fun. The lovely hosts even offered us a ride on their Pontoon. We made so many memories and laughed like kids! We also got to see a lot of amazing wildlife! A true adventure! Bev & Lloyd, let me just tell you we haven’t stopped talking about our trip and probably won’t. Thank you for being such great hosts and providing such a lovely space!

River Rest

A lovely, peaceful escape on a Columbia River offshoot. Wildlife - birds in particular abound, and fishing looks promising from this floating house with access to kayaks and a paddle boat. A river beach and trails nearby (as well as restaurants and shopping not to far away) complete the experience.

Heaven on the water!

Ooo my goodness I don't even know where to start!! First of all Bev and Lloyd were the absolute best hosts I have ever experienced if we needed anything AND WE DID they were amazing at helping, even letting us borrow their meat thermometer for our dinner. I could go on and on but I will say this home will never disappoint! We are booking again hopefully for August. 😊

Hidden Gem

The house, amenities, and location were top notch. The house is situated at the end of the marina, so it gives you the perfect feeling of escape surrounded by beautiful nature. We all enjoyed kayaking and paddle boating. Thanks for sharing, Bev and Lloyd! My son is an aspiring artist and especially appreciated and explored your art, Bev!

Great Stay!

Thank you to our great host Bev and Lloyd. Lloyd met my brother and his family and transported all of their "stuff" on the boat saving them time at check in. The house was great! The kids thought there where ghosts that were opening the drawers in the kitchen, HA!! That is what happens when your house is on the water. My family had a great time catching fish off the dock and looking for the otters. House was well stocked with linens and kitchen items. A great place for my family to gather that was close to our parents, but not a stuffy hotel.
