Anniversary Get Away
The property was so peaceful and clean! My husband loved the electric fireplace so much that we bought one the day we came home. We loved being right on the water and even though it was dewy and rained it was still very beautiful. We will be back again for sure! We ate at Waterfront Grill and Does Eat Place and we absolutely loved both places! We will be back again!

Relaxing Getaway
We needed a last-minute getaway with her grandson. The home was perfect. It was exactly as advertised. Being on the water was so peaceful and was a great way to start and end the day. Despite having Neighbors on both sides it was like having our own little sanctuary. Unfortunately we really didn't catch any fish despite being a full moon. This was our first time on Moon Lake so I don't know if it is a good fishing spot or not. But anyone who loves to fish knows that it isn't always about catching fish. We were there to relax and we were able to do that. Thanks Joe for opening your home.

With over 100 5 star reviews, your 1 star review looks a little out of place. I’m sure your review was based on retaliation because you were charged a damage deposit. Damage deposits are a safety net for when you encounter guest that don’t have your same values. Our housekeeper did a thorough assessment and spent 7 hours getting things back to our standard for our next guest. We were lucky we had a day in between reservations. Our listing description states we have exterior cameras for the safety of our guest and property.

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at “Slip Away”. Captain Joe was extremely accommodating. Houseboat was warm and inviting. Furnishings and decor were well maintained and appropriate. We caught a few catfish but a lot of garfish. I highly recommend this houseboat for those wanting to get away to relax and unwind or fish.

I don’t give 5 star’s generously! And usually a rare rating from me. All I can say, when visiting Monroe, I plan around open dates just to stay here.

Fishing base camp
I was spending the week fishing in the area and thought this place would be perfect, centrally located to the area’s I was going to be fishing. We ended up getting high wind and rain which allowed me to really relax and enjoy this place. It was clean and well stocked, loved the big couch to nap in! The covered boat slip is awesome, no wet boat after the rain and literally two steps and you’re in the kitchen. Highly recommend!!

The Slip Away is wonderful.
We truly enjoyed our 2 weeks here and wish we'd booked longer. The Slip Away met all of our accommodation needs! Our first experience in a floating apartment did not disappoint. We spent a large amount of time sitting on the back deck relaxing, fishing, and enjoying Moon Lake. If the subtle motion of water is a concern you, bring your dramamine. However, the water level was exceptionally high, and we experienced several storms passing through during our stay. Our host, Joe, was wonderful. Communication before and during our stay was excellent, plus he offered great recommendations for activities and eateries. It was difficult to leave. We highly recommend Joe and the Slip Away for your next getaway.

Neat new experience
This was the last part of our roadtrip. The boat house was nicely decorated and updated. We really appreciated that the boat house had a tv, electric fireplace, full size washer & dryer, oven with stovetop, and a full refrigerator. We loved the the sunsets on the water. It was a very new experience staying in a house on the water. We had a couple of surprises during our stay. We missed in the description that there wasn't wifi. That was our own fault. The toilet is very sensitive and can be a little stressful. Someone also came by the house early Saturday and Sunday morning working around outside and in the closet. Which you could hear very well from the bedroom. The boat house was close to a really neat outdoor hiking area. Which was great for us to go out and explore.

A superior rental, with a lakeside patio facing west on a quiet little lake for perfect sunset viewing. Close to a great grocery and restaurants, but feels secluded.

Due to weather conditions we were not able to enjoy the full amenities (kayaks and fishing) as planned… but didn’t matter. The location, the house and furnishings, and views alone could not have been better. This fun dock house will definitely be my first choice when I return…. Alone or with family. I will be checking availability to hopefully return again soon with my grandsons to take advantage of the fishing and water activities.
