Our rental experience with Five Star Houseboat Vacations could not have been better! Nancy and Dave and their staff are so helpful, friendly and accommodating! Our boat was ready as soon as we arrived and they assisted us with moving our belongings from our vehicle onto the boat. We were on the Astoria, which is an absolutely beautiful vessel. Everything was spotless! The kitchen was well equipped and everything was in working order. We especially loved the full sized refrigerator and the kids enjoyed the TV in the living area! The bathrooms were also very nice. We were conservative in our use of water, but even with 4 teenagers on board who had to shower at least once a day (!) we did not run out of water. The beds were very comfortable. In fact, everything about the boat was superior!!
We have some experience with small boats and found that his one, though very large, was quite manageable. They took us out into the main part of the lake and picked us up there when we returned so we did not have to worry about docking the boat. Finding locations to tie up for the night was relatively easy. Our crew consisted of 4 teenagers and 2 adults. We are glad we had the teens along as you really do need 2 people to tie off the boat in addition to the captain at the helm.
We had no trouble with the boat, but I’m sure if we had the folks at Five Star would have responded immediately. They provided us with cell phone numbers to call if we needed anything at all. I did have one question once we were onboard and called Nancy. She responded to my question quickly.
We used $300 in gas, which was about what we were expecting. Each morning we would travel on the lake, and tie up around lunchtime to spend the remainder of the day/evening. We ran the AC all day, but would turn the generator off at night to conserve fuel.
On Thursday we spent a few hours of the afternoon with Jason from hydro-limo. Jason came to our houseboat and picked us up. We had a wonderful time tubing and learning to wakeboard. Jason made an extra effort to ensure our time with him was enjoyable and fun!!
We loved this vacation and would recommend it to anyone!

We just returned from our vacation, and my gosh, what an experience. It was a fabulous time! Even though the weather was not 100% perfect, we couldn’t have asked for a better time. The boat was everything we expected. Nancy and Dave were exceptionally helpful and very pleasant. Thanks guys! We WILL be back next year.
Our family had a GREAT time on the houseboat!
The boat was ready before the schedule check in time, there was ample carts to carry our stuff to the boat, the marina was clean and the water was wonderful!
The boat was more than we expected; beautiful on the inside and out!
The owners and staff were very friendly and helpful.
In fact we had such a good time, we booked a week for next summer before we ever left the dock.
I would recommend this adventure to anyone.
Just returned from a wonderful week on a houseboat rented from 5 Star. What a great experience. We have rented houseboats on 6 different lakes and this was by far THE BEST!! The boat was very nice, the staff was great, the marina was set up great and Dave and Nancy were the best. Thanks for a great week and we will be back!!
We just returned from a wonderful weekend on the lake!! I do not think you will find a more beautiful boat to stay on! Nancy thought of everything you could possibly need in the kitchen to make all your meals. I kept wondering are we going to need this or that, but Nancy had everything covered and then some. Everything is just so nice and clean – much more than I expected! One of the nights we stayed near mile marker 13 – that was our best place! If you are in need of a get away weekend and some R & R and family time, you definitely should check this out!! It would also be fun with some couples, father and son trip, or girl get away trip! Hope you enjoy!!!
Hi Nancy and Dave and crew. We had such a great time on the lake last w/e. Your friendly crew really helped us even unload and reload our belongings . We really was glad Jason was there to steer us in at the end. There was literally everything a family needs on board. It has been a memorable summer vacation and I am glad I booked it with you. Thanks again! Vicki Bantel
