The idea of living on a houseboat is pretty appealing to a lot of Washingtonians, particularly those who watched Sleepless in Seattle. And while buying a multimillion-dollar floating home like Tom Hanks’ character had probably isn’t in your life plan, you can sleep on a fantastic houseboat for significantly less. These Lake Union houseboats are all available on Airbnb, and they’re fantastic.
This adorable houseboat sits right on the beautiful Lake Union in Seattle, and although it's small, it has everything you'll need for a great stay. The boat has a bedroom with a queen bed, a tiny boat bathroom, a kitchen, a couch, and 'The Nest' on top, where you can catch the sunset. Best of all, the boat rents for $99 — $169, which is cheaper than most hotels in the area.
Curbed Magazine named this houseboat one of the top 10 coolest Airbnb rentals in Seattle, and it's definitely worthy of the praise. Enjoy your morning coffee on the deck, then enjoy the 40-inch SmartTV inside.
This houseboat has a little bit of everything: An upper deck that shows off the sweeping views, a spacious living room, full kitchen, and cozy bedroom, a movie projector, and even a washer and dryer.
The hammock is far from the only thing that makes this houseboat comfortable, but it certainly makes it more appealing. This lovely floating home has 2 bedrooms, 2 bathrooms, and all the comforts of home.
You’ll never forget your stay on a houseboat. And if you’re looking for a unique place to stay that won’t break the bank, check out this list.
