Relaxing on the water
My daughter and I had a get away and stayed in this houseboat. It was so fun to stay somewhere different than the usual hotel. It was so quiet and relaxing on the water. It is gated in so we felt very safe. The boathouse was clean, had everything you might need, the bed was comfortable and at night, sitting on the upper deck with the lights was magical.

Better than expected
Rarely does a place exceed my expectations, but this houseboat was better than expected. Waking up ON the lake, drinking your coffee in the morning from the sundeck, drinking your wine during the sunset was so relaxing. When you wake up you don't feel like you have to go anywhere. You're already watching the surfers, jet skiers from a private marina and you can just relax. You're right across the street from the waterslides, you can walk to the adjacent property and rent jet skies or just soak up the sun on your houseboat. The hosts really did think of everything you may need for your vacation. Would absolutely love to come back again.

The little houseboat was exactly as described, and stocked with everything you could need. The hosts have anticipated even what we hadn’t thought of: a yeti cooler, paddle boards, Bluetooth speakers, local coffee, soy sauce… the list goes on. We did a virtual check in, which was flawless. The area felt safe and secure with parking available. And a lakefront activities center for boat and kayak rentals was right next door. It’s rare in this time you come away from a place receiving more than you anticipated, but this was one of those special experiences. We’ll definitely be back.

Great views!
My husband and I wanted to extend our Lake Chelan stay and came upon this gem of a houseboat that was perfect for the 2 of us. Houseboat is very comfortable, all the amenities you need on board. Can’t beat the view from the deck, and close to town. If you needed more room for kitchen/cooking or larger shower, the clubhouse is right there. We would definitely stay at this property again. Thank you Sean and Carissa.

My wife and I stayed here four nights for her birthday. We have stayed in Chelan many times before, but this was the first time on a house boat. This was by far the best experience we’ve had to date. This place was perfect for the two of us. Easy access to the water and to downtown Chelan. Also, right across the street from the water park. Very clean and quaint place to stay. The upper deck was perfect for sunbathing or star gazing at night. Perfect for a romantic getaway. Highly recommend this place if you are looking for a quick getaway and an amazing experience that will be full of great memories. We are definitely looking forward to coming back.

Our stay at The Stillwater stole our hearts and we will definitely be planning another stay! The boat and the clubhouse were everything we needed and more! The view and sunset were unreal. One thing that we both commented on was how comfortable the bed was! I can’t remember the last time I slept so well! From the moment Sean greeted us to the time we left- we were in heaven! Thank you!

Carissa and Sean did an amazing job with decorating this gem! Location is prime and having access to the Marina was fabulous, loved the Firepit and BBQ. Laying on the deck enjoying the sunshine with a nice bottle of wine was the highlight, they have included everything. We highly recommend and will be booking again.

I will start with the boat. Fully equipped and ready for a romantic getaway! The. boat is beautifully decorated and is equipped with everything you need on the water. There are 2 TVs on the boat and a thoughtfully equipped kitchen. The rooftop is awesome! Make sure you step upstairs to enjoy some sunshine and views of Lake Chelan! There is an amazing Marina boathouse available for the guests that has an upstairs deck, games, showers and a BBQ! This is a perk not to miss!!!! 5 stars - highly recommend!

Wonderful Experience
We had a great stay at Stillwater and it could not have been better. The marina was in a perfect location, with a brand new clubhouse (very well done) and dock. We could park just steps from the dock and they even had hand carts available which made getting our stuff to the houseboat a breeze. The houseboat itself was really well equipped and looked exactly like in the pictures. It was so unique, super clean, and had everything we needed. Of course there were amazing views of the lake and valley from the top deck. Communication with Carissa was seamless and she was wonderful to deal with. Stillwater is perfect for boating or wine tasting weekends. We look forward to coming again and definitely recommend it.

Wonderful getaway!
What a great little space. This houseboat was a dream to stay on. We couldn't believe how big it felt inside and how great it is set up to make for an enjoyable vacation. The robes were a nice touch, and it wasn't hard to settle in and make ourselves at home. The communication and information supplied by the owners helped ensure we knew how to operate everything and the staff at the marina were a pleasure to meet. Summers have got to be amazing with using the upstairs roof deck; it was a little chilly for us with some strange spring weather this week, but we'd sure love to come back and relax/enjoy that great roof top deck. We highly recommend this houseboat!

Super fun experience
We had a super fun experience on the StillWater. The size of the houseboat was perfect for two people, way more space than pictured, and even though it’s still a little chilly in early April the views from inside and outside were stunning. The Sunset Marina had a lot of amenities to enjoy and looks like a lot of other boats are still snoozing for the winter. We can imagine how lively this place will be in the summer and we would love to come back. There were plenty of guest amenities onboard and the bed was very comfy. The towels and robes are very plush, linens on the bed were great and overall the space is very cozy and well cleaned. We heard that April can be a windy month in the area and we got that experienced firsthand, we were rocked to sleep one night. All was good while watching a movie from bed and listening the wind. The owners let us know they are making some interior design updates and we are excited to see what they have in store. We recommend the StillWater for a great couples retreat and look forward to returning!
