The thoughtful restoration of this historic vessel is palpable, offering a cozy and well-appointed retreat from which to absorb the river's ever-changing moods. Jeremy and Eunha's hospitality, coupled with a truly excellent breakfast, rounds out an escape that feels both special and remarkably down-to-earth.”
