Sleep, Slide, Grill: A Four‑Sleeper Houseboat Escape from Seven Points Marina.
The Striper is a newly renovated four‑sleeper houseboat run by Seven Points Marina in Hesston. Designed for small families or two couples, it pairs compact, comfortable cabins with simple on‑deck pleasures — a sliding board, gas grill and patio furniture — to turn a few nights on the water into a distinct, low‑key getaway.
Highlights
Outing Highlights
Cozy sleeping for four
The Striper sleeps four with a queen bed in the master and a full‑sized bed in a separate cabin, making it a tidy alternative to traditional lakeside lodging.
Simple creature comforts and play
On deck you’ll find patio furniture, a gas grill and a large cooler, plus a sliding board for on‑water fun — features that keep activities practical and social.
Equipped for every season
Each houseboat includes A/C and heat, a full kitchen with cookware and dishware, and a full bath with shower, so the Striper works rain or shine.
What the day feels like
What it feels like to stay aboard
A stay on the Striper is a compact, domestic experience afloat: come aboard at Seven Points Marina, stow gear, fire up the grill, slide into the water or settle into the cabin for the evening. Modern systems — climate control, kitchen setup and a full bath — keep the focus on relaxed time together rather than logistics.
