Kentucky Houseboat Rentals
Vacation Ideas

From the second year on we rented from Monday morning through Friday morning.

We arrive at State Dock on Saturday and spend Saturday and Sunday nights at the Lure Lodge, right next to the houseboat docks.

The Lure Lodge is a full-service hotel with an executive golf course, putt-putt golf, horseback riding and pools.

Our first boat was small, but what did we know? It had enough beds, a full kitchen, 1.5 bathrooms, a washer and dryer, a hot tub and water slides from the second level.

The houseboat rental company provides bedding and the kitchen basics, but nothing else.

We didn’t know what to bring, so we went overboard (pun intended!). We brought too many clothes and too much food.

We have learned that you only need an outfit to drive down and back in, 2 swimsuits, a cover up, pajamas and beach towels.

You have to bring your own food, and we soon learned that simple meals are the ticket. Hot dogs, hamburgers, grilled foods, packaged foods – anything that can be quickly prepared to keep you out of the kitchen!

If you have any water toys, bring them along. A jet-ski, power boat or pontoon will allow you to venture out from the cove that you moor your houseboat in for the duration of the trip.

The absolute best thing about renting a houseboat is that you are totally disconnected from the world!

Cell phone coverage is spotty at best, at least for now. The satellite TV works for videos, but the boat has to be in the exact right spot in the lake to get any reception from the satellite.

Bring along some games and a CD player for entertainment.

Take a risk and book a Kentucky houseboat rentals vacation for you and your family and discover how much fun you can have just relaxing and being together.
