Anyone else use their boat as a "guest house"?

[tobnpr]

So we have some company this week, all 4 bedrooms spoken for and one guest left...
Rather than the couch, or an air mattress, I figured the boat is better.
A quick run through on how to use the head, operate the Sat tv, air conditioners and lighting. Total privacy for the guest. So far it's a thumbs up...

'Course, it helps that the boat is at the house. But I was wondering who else might have sent their overnight guests to their boat (even at a nearby marina) when the house accomodations were full?

Makes sense to me... Forget the guest I'd be on the boat!!!!

So far they all loved it !!. :smt001
Plus they clean the boat better than I do before they leave. :grin:

Most of my guests want to stay on the boat. And as Wayne said they always leave it cleaner than when they got on.

I sleep on the boat and put the guests in the house! It's just easier and I sleep better! :grin:

Rod, I guess you don't like the very very clean freaks on your boat then ??. :smt043

We've done it with certain guests (boaters), the cluless stay in the house.

Myself and kids will stay on the boat.......Too many things can go wrong on the boat unsupervised. It also becomes a toy to them.......I have one rule anyway even when I go away with a couple or two.....I will get you a hotel room.....Just works out better.....I have worked hard and I am not in college anymore.....

Always!
If they don't like the boat there is a Ramada and a Sheraton down the road.

My buddy and his wife come in town for a long weekend every year, and they always ask to stay on the boat. They love it, and really have taken to boating so much (because of these visits) that having a cruiser is part of their retirement strategy.
