Welcome aboard the ContraBrand Hideaway, your exclusive retreat on the pristine waters of Lake Chelan! Prepare for a one-of-a-kind getaway as you step onto our stationary 50-foot houseboat, perfectly nestled in Sunset Marina. With unbeatable views and endless amenities, this floating oasis offers a unique experience like no other. While the ContraBrand Hideaway remains moored at Sunset Marina for your safety and convenience, there's no shortage of excitement and entertainment just steps away.


PICTURE YOURSELF HERE:
Savor the serenity of lakefront living from the moment you arrive. Our cozy yet spacious houseboat features 2 bedrooms and 1 bath, providing comfortable accommodations for your group of adventurers. Relax in the inviting living area, whip up delicious meals in the fully equipped kitchen, or simply unwind on the rooftop deck as you soak in the breathtaking vistas of Lake Chelan and the surrounding mountains.

Sunset Marina itself offers a wealth of amenities, including a clubhouse with additional food prep areas, shower suites, game room, and lounge space. Gather around the outdoor fire pit for cozy evenings under the stars, or fire up the BBQ for a lakeside cookout with your guests.

For those craving adventure, boat and jet ski rentals are conveniently located next door, while Lakeside Surf and SlideWaters water park beckon across the street. And when it's time to explore the charms of downtown Chelan, you're just a short drive (or leisurely stroll) away from a vibrant array of restaurants, shops, tasting rooms, and breweries.
