Most people don’t know that Texas is home to one of the best rental houseboats in the country. If you love boating or just being on the water in general, this getaway experience is a must. Lake Travis Houseboat Rentals attracts Texans near and far with stunning views, clear waters, and fresh air.
Being one with nature isn’t limited to roughing it in a tent. Check out this wonderful overnight boating vacation.
Whether the occasion is a family weekend getaway, a company party, or anything in between, the Lake Travis Houseboat is the perfect way to escape reality without straying too far from home.
The luxury accommodations include services such as grocery shopping and delivery, and you'll be provided with jet skis, ski boats, canoes, catering, a personal chef and/or bartender, and a limo upon request.
With a square footage of over 2600, the boat includes an upper and lower deck as well as several interior rooms. Space is definitely not an issue here!
There are four bedrooms (one being the master), a sleeper sofa, 2 baths, a full kitchen, a TV with surround sound and hundreds of movies to choose from, and a stereo system.
As far as the outside goes, it has an entertainment area with a bar and grill, a hot tub, a water slide, 2 cradles for jet skis and an on-board fuel pump, fishing poles, and 2 on-board kayaks.
Up to 10 people can sleep on the boat comfortably, but it can host up to 50. So feel free to invite the extended family or everyone at the office - the more, the merrier!
And in terms of actually operating the boat, you don't have to lift a finger. The captain will take you to the most picturesque spots on the lake, from views of majestic rolling hills with luxury homes sitting atop them to spots where the sunset reflects just right on the deep blue water.
Here's a closer look at the hot tub. We all know that Hill Country nights can get chilly even in the summer, so this steamy oasis will be much appreciated.
And this is the grill. She's a beaut, isn't she? Put your chef skills to the test (or let the company provide one for you!) and cook up some mean steaks for all your guests. They'll pair perfectly with the cocktails you can fix everyone at the bar!
So next time you just need to escape from it all for a while, spend the weekend cruising Lake Travis on a gorgeous houseboat. It's sure to be an experience you won't soon forget.
