Spent 3 great nights on a houseboat through Voyagaire Lodge & Houseboats. The boat was in great condition and more spacious than expected. We had 4 adults, 2 60 lb dogs and 1 toddler on a 44 footer. The service at the resturant and from all of the dock staff was phenomenal. I'd definitely do this again and highly recommend!

Have never rented a houseboat but have eaten there a number of times.
