If you've spent much time in Texas you know how alluring lake-life can be. From huge and pristine bodies of water like Lake Texoma and Falcon Lake to backwater getaways like Caddo or Inks Lake, there are plenty of freshwater lakes and saltwater bays that will capture your heart in the Lone Star State.
But unless you own a boat, your enjoyment of these watery playgrounds is limited to shoreline lodging or campsites. Sure, you can spend the weekend in one of many lakeside resorts or pull up in your RV to one of hundreds of planned parks and campgrounds - and have a great time. But more and more weekenders are opting for the open water, searching for the right houseboat rental that will liberate them from solid ground and launch them into a wonderfully wet and excitingly different world.
Boating enthusiasts say you haven't lived until you spend a peaceful night on the water, and renting a houseboat for the weekend is the best way to find out.
From down-to-earth economy houseboat models to the downright decadent splendor of luxury units, houseboats are becoming popular with travelers in search of something different.
Not every Texas lake offers rental models. But you'll find them in the most unexpected places, in all sorts and sizes. We've compiled a short list to get you started. Visit their web sites and discover more about how you can escape the norm and experience the boating life on a lake near you.
