The Space:
AS FEATURED ON ABC AND BUZZFEED
Wake up directly on Brantingham Lake in The Floater, a real houseboat moored beside Grant Island in the Adirondacks.
This is a stay for two guests who want something more memorable than a standard cabin or hotel room. Your queen bed faces panoramic lake views, your private deck and dock put you at the water’s edge, and a dedicated electric boat gives you the freedom to explore after orientation.
The Floater is compact, comfortable and designed for a romantic, adventurous lake escape.
INSIDE THE FLOATER:
• Comfortable queen bed with quality linens
• Fresh sheets and towels
• Panoramic lake views from bed

• 42-inch TV
• Roku with streaming apps
• Bluetooth speakers
• Wi-Fi
The Roku gives you access to streaming apps, and you may sign in using your own streaming-service accounts.
The Floater does not have a full residential kitchen. The indoor sink, mini fridge and freezer, kettle, coffee maker, drinkware and private BBQ grill are suited to simple food preparation. Bring the food, drinks, snacks and supplies you expect to need.
YOUR PRIVATE WATERFRONT SETUP:
• Private deck
• Private dock
• Private BBQ grill
• Private hammock
• Dedicated electric boat after orientation
• Panoramic Brantingham Lake views
• A peaceful setting for morning coffee, sunset drinks and stargazing
These areas are reserved for your Floater reservation.
IMPORTANT FIT DETAILS:
• There is no toilet or shower aboard The Floater.
• The shared bathroom and shower building is approximately 250 feet away by an outdoor uphill route with exactly 25 stairs.
• Because The Floater is a real floating accommodation, it may rock or sway with wind, waves and passing watercraft.
• Other guests and management may be elsewhere on Grant Island, and certain island amenities are shared.
The Floater is best for guests who see these details as part of an authentic houseboat adventure. Guests who require an onboard bathroom, a short step-free bathroom route or a completely stationary sleeping space should choose one of our land-based Grant Island stays.

The Neighborhood:
Grant Island is a privately owned 1.4-acre island on public Brantingham Lake in the Adirondacks.
The setting combines classic Adirondack lake life with the rare experience of sleeping directly on the water. Guests come for boating, fishing, swimming, wildlife, sunsets and clear night skies.
Brantingham Lake is public, so residents and recreational boaters may also be on the water.
Two popular restaurants and bars, a local general store and seasonal recreation are available on the nearby mainland. The wider Adirondack and Tug Hill region offers hiking, state parks, horseback riding, wineries and other outdoor activities.
Because Grant Island is accessed by boat, bring the food, clothing, medication and personal supplies you expect to need during your stay.
Getting Around:
Guests park at our designated mainland parking area. We meet you there, help with your belongings and bring you to Grant Island by pontoon boat. The ride generally takes about 5 minutes.
After arrival, approved operators receive an orientation for The Floater’s dedicated electric boat. Every operator must be at least 18.
The electric boat may be used for:
• Transportation between Grant Island and the mainland

After-dark boat operation is allowed only when required navigation lights are working and proper flotation devices are worn. Guests must bring a working flashlight and must remain visible to other potential nighttime boaters.
