A hidden gem for sure! The marina next door was a blast! Locals came and talked to us, welcoming. Very secluded and quiet but close to town too. Just unbelievably cool.

Very enjoyable and peaceful. Very clean and organized. Would definitely book again.

Great place to relax and enjoy the view

Property was better than expected. Comfortable. Well equipped. Nautical theme throughout. Will stay again.

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.

Everything was amazing we had a wonderful time! Having the covered boat slip steps away was so easy & convenient. We enjoyed kayaking, fishing off the back porch, & going out in our boat. I would highly recommend booking The Slip Away. We will definitely be back in the near future.

We loved our stay and will be back again. This was such a relaxing get away for us. They even have small amenities you wouldn’t think of to make your stay even better! The owner is a pleasure to work with also!

We enjoyed our short stay the "Slip Away". The place was very clean and was exactly as described online. Capt. Joe was easy to contact . All went well and I would recommend this place to any of my family or friends.

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. The best hidden gem if you enjoy quiet, laid back, lake life with a couple of friends or family. Checking the calendar now for another visit in the fall, or maybe sooner.

My wife and I stayed here for our anniversary for the second year in a row. We will continue to come back every year. It’s a beautiful place with a beautiful scenery.

Wonderful stay, easy communication, beautiful locaion and beautiful place. Would 100% stay here again.

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!!

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.

The Slip Away was beyond amazing, very clean and spacious, exactly as pictured. Any and everything you could possibly need is available in the home. I would highly recommend it to anyone. It’s so peaceful and relaxing! This was our first stay & definitely can’t wait to book our 2nd trip!!

Very clean, well equipped floating house. It was very quiet and peaceful. We really enjoyed our stay.

My Husband and I have stayed here a couple of times and each time we enjoy it even more! The place is clean and equipped with everything you may need for your stay. The views are outstanding. The property manager is attentive and always available. We will continue to use this place as a getaway!

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. Just 4 miles from beautiful Black Bayou Lake National Wildlife Refuge. Joe is courteous and helpful. Recommending without hestotation to family and friends!

Joe could not have been nicer! We arrived after dark I was tired and a bit lost. I sent a message and immediately my phone was ringing, it was Joe and he walked us to the right location.

Beautiful scenery. Beautiful accommodations. Peaceful. Would absolutely do it again.

We absolutely just loves our experience/stay. Such a beautiful place inside & out. We have already recommended this place to a few of our friends.

My husband and I wanted to celebrate our anniversary by getting away for some rest and relaxation. This was the perfect spot!! The boathouse was very cozy with a beautiful view of the lake, not to mention being able to walk out onto the dock and fish.. the absolute best!!

We needed a few days to just relax and unwind from life. We found a very serene experience at Moon Lake and Joseph’s home on the water. He was a very charming host.

I had an amazing stay this this lake front property. If I didn’t want to go anywhere I could stay and relax on the water, watch tv, go kayaking and even fish! Communication with the property manager was almost instant instructions were clear and concise and if I could give this property and the manager a 10/10 rating I would but the stars only go up to 5.

Excellent

We had a fantastic time! The house was clean and beautiful. Woke up each morning to a light fog on the lake, sat on the back deck and drank coffee. Host was great and gave perfect recommendations for brunch places. We also found a new Mexican bistro 5 minutes away called Casa Real. Definitely would stay here each time we are in the area.

Very scenic and comfortable

The property was as described. It was so relaxing to be on the water. Great place! The host was great!

nice local gem

Loved staying here. Short drive to alot of good restaurants. But also the house has all the basics for cooking in. The owner was very good with answering any questions. Would love to visit again sometime.

Lovely spot to sit on the back deck and enjoy watching the boats come in and out, fish jumping, and the beautiful sunsets.
