You can't beat these views w/ this unique houseboat ON Lake Chelan

Contrabrand Hideaway is a stationary 2 bedroom 1 bath, 50 foot houseboat and is perfect for a fun, unique getaway ON Lake Chelan! You can't beat this lakefront accommodation, nor the views from the rooftop deck.

The houseboat remains moored at Sunset Marina; sorry, it is not available for guests to take out on the lake.

Located in Sunset Marina, you are close to everything Chelan has to offer! Sunset Marina also has a ton to offer, in addition to your fully equipped floating 2 bedroom condo. The marina clubhouse includes a large area for additional kitchen/food prep, shower suites and additional bathrooms, game room, large screen TV and lounge space, outdoor fire pit and BBQs.

Boat and Jet ski rentals are next door, Lakeside Surf and SlideWaters water park is across the street, and you're less than 1.5 miles to historic downtown Chelan (restaurants, shops, tasting rooms and breweries).


Houseboat details:
- 2 bedrooms (queen sized bed + two twin bunks)
- Pull out couch in the living room (full sized)
- 1 full bathroom (split in two: vanity & sink in one room, walk- in shower and vanity in another room)
- Fully equipped kitchen with stainless appliances
- Electric fireplace
- Propane BBQ
- Massive rooftop deck great for catching the sunrise, sunset and all the shooting stars in between!
- Wi-Fi (**may not be the best internet, given how far the houseboat is from the clubhouse**)
- 3 TVs
- Sunset Marina clubhouse amenities are all included
- 1 parking spot, with overflow parking available for 1 additional vehicle


Important to note:
**This is a floating, overnight sleeping accommodation. May not be ideal for those highly prone to sea sickness.

**We are family friendly, however the boat is not child proof. Please note the steep spiral staircase to the roof top deck and the bow (front deck) is not fully enclosed.

**Stays longer than 4 nights may not be accepted, please inquire first.

**The houseboat has a certain size septic tank and guests are kindly asked to conserve wastewater. Pump outs during a stay are an added cost of $250.

**Due to this accommodation being on the water, guests should anticipate lake wildlife, such as ducks, geese, gnats, bees/wasps, etc.

- Max of 6 guests (space will be tight for 6 adults)

Really Unique!
If you want something out of the ordinary that is really cool, this is the place. You are staying right on the water with the most incredible views of Lake Chelan. This is a perfect couple's getaway! Clean, cozy and great layout. The upper deck views are breathtaking. The marina clubhouse is fantastic! Great property manager. A wonderful stay!

Unique and Peaceful Experience
We had a great stay on this houseboat! The highlight was the view from the top deck—it was stunning, especially at sunset. The setting is incredibly peaceful and quiet, making it easy to relax and unwind. The location is within easy walking distance to several boat rental places, which made it super convenient for us to get out on the water. My husband used the shower in the houseboat, but I opted for the shower in the nearby clubhouse which was clean and well-maintained. The houseboat itself was spotless and had everything we needed for a comfortable stay. From the cozy sleeping arrangements to the fully equipped kitchen, it really felt like a home away from home. Would recommend for a fun, unique stay at Lake Chelan.

Wonderful
My spouse and I had a wonderful stay on this houseboat 5+stars! It was very clean and comfortable for the two of us. Rooftop deck is amazing and the stairs to the rooftop deck are skinny and steep; the hosts shared that it might be more comfortable to go down them backwards, which was a great tip. We would love to return for a future Lake Chelan trip.

Enjoyed our stay
We have been to Chelan several times and never stayed on a houseboat, so thought this would be a cool, new experience. We enjoyed every minute of it. The boat was well cleaned, well stocked, and provided everything we needed. The host gave us tons of information to help us understand the boat as well as great local recommendations. Our favorite was enjoying the roof top deck and watching the sunsets. We recommend this accommodation to others and would love to return.

Fun getaway!
Last minute we booked a getaway to Lake Chelan, for two couples, and we had a blast on this houseboat. The boat was a ton of fun, we all loved the upper rooftop deck, and got some amazing sunset photos. I wish reviews allowed for you to post a photo because of how great the view is here. Inside was clean, well stocked, and had a ton of space. Way bigger than we thought with a full sized kitchen sink, stove/oven and two fridge+freezer’s. The hosts went above and beyond to make sure we were comfortable with the boat’s set up and shared with us all the great amenities the club house at the marina has for guests too. Best recommendation: purchasing steaks at The Meat Shop in downtown Chelan and BBQ’ing at the club house. We took advantage of the set up, outdoor dining and outdoor fire pit. The second night, we BBQ’ed on the boat and enjoyed that just as much. We look forward to coming there again!
