Every detail of our trip from launch to landing was first class! The scenery and tranquility was up there with the best national parks and the hospitality pushed it over the top. Thank you Voyagaire team for an unforgettable trip!

Awesome place! Had a blast! Didn't rent the house boat this trip but rented the ATV for a trip to Vermillion falls. Food and staff are top notch. Will be back with a group to rent a houseboat in the future.
