Deluxe Houseboat • 59ft

Dial up lakefront comfort with Lime Saddle Marina’s Deluxe Houseboat rental. From water slides to hiking trails, discover why this getaway offers a distinct Northern California adventure.

Lime Saddle Marina, located along the serene shores near Paradise, California, offers an exceptional way to experience the region’s natural beauty with its Deluxe 59-foot houseboat rentals. This vessel, designed for comfort and fun, provides a unique opportunity to connect with the outdoors while enjoying the ease of life on the water. The houseboat’s expansive deck invites you to soak up the California sun or dive into the calm lake waters after launching down the onboard waterslide.

The lake itself, framed by rugged hills and native pine and oak groves, offers a quiet refuge from crowded destinations, making Lime Saddle a standout among Northern California retreats. Inside, the houseboat sleeps up to 10 guests comfortably with four bedrooms, two bathrooms, and a fully equipped kitchen including a stove, refrigerator, and coffee maker. This setup encourages extended stays of three to fourteen days, perfect for families or groups looking to mix watersports, swimming, and lounging with lakeside hiking and camping adventures around Pentz Road.

The marina’s pet-friendly policy is another highlight, welcoming companions to share the adventure. With electric A/C, Bluetooth speakers, and a spacious layout, the houseboat balances modern conveniences with the rugged appeal of lakeside living. The surrounding trails offer access to hidden coves and bluff overlooks, where you might spot local wildlife like osprey or mule deer.

Whether sliding into the lake, fishing off the deck, or anchoring for a barbecue under the stars, Lime Saddle’s Deluxe Houseboat immerses you in a laid-back but invigorating outdoor lifestyle. Its location near the lesser-visited parts of Oroville Lake preserves a sense of solitude otherwise hard to find in California’s popular recreational spots. This makes it a prime destination for travelers seeking a water-based escape that’s both relaxing and richly connected to the environment.
