There is access to Lake Erie and the Portage River directly from the marina. The Sandusky Bay is only a few minutes’ drive, as well as Cedar Point. The Jet Express is a couple minutes down the road, and you can be to Put N Bay or Kelley’s Island quickly!

Reminder, this is a boat on the water, in a marina. There are other houseboats and personal boats in the marina. The boats do not move from the dock, but simply camping on the water! Depending on the weather, there can be movement. There can also be different kinds of wildlife and bugs. This is similar to camping, but on the water! Spiders, Flies, Mayflies, Nats, etc are all creatures of the water areas. We do spray and clean for these, but want to make you aware that you may see them. We do our best to keep you comfortable! Please let us know if there is anything we can do while you are with us.

Ramble On Rose
We stayed 2 nights aboard Ramble On Rose during the 4th of July. We watched the fireworks from Port Clinton and other areas on top deck. What a show! We had an amazing time! Now....the PROS & CONS PROS... Boat was clean The smell inside was delightful. Didnt smell musty or fishy. Towels/toilet paper were provided. Plasticware/silverware available. KCups/coffee/insulated cups & snacks provided. Refrigerator/microwave worked. A/C worked excellent in 89° weather. 2 additional fans were already on when we arrived. (Thank you!) Clean bedding Curtains covered all windows. Outside patio furniture was comfy. Kayaks/fishing poles- free to renters. Fishing was good especially at night. We caught a few catfish and of course "the BIG one got away" The view is gorgeous especially the sunsets. Although I didn't personally meet Michelle I did text her a few questions and she responded quickly. Josh was friendly and helpful. Walking to the restrooms/shower house was no big deal. It's only about 4 boats down. But at night time I did use the toilet on the boat for #1 use ONLY with no issues. The shower house nice/clean There's 2 rooms with each a toilet, shower, bench, sink & mirror. Check in/out/parking was easy It's peacefully at night. CONS.... Outside boat & furniture covered in cobwebs. I just asked Josh for a broom to knock them down so we wouldn't be running into them. It's nature/outside so I understand they will be present. We definitely will be back!
