Houseboats, Waterslides, and Quiet Water at Lime Saddle Marina.
Lime Saddle Marina in Paradise, California, invites a slow kind of lake day: board a California houseboat, stretch out on the sun-drenched deck, and drop into the clear water from an on-board waterslide. The setting is uncrowded and calm—ideal for swimming, waterskiing or snorkeling—and the shoreline offers simple lakeside hiking and places to camp for anyone wanting to linger after the boat is docked.

Outing Highlights
California Houseboat Comfort
The core draw at Lime Saddle Marina is the California-style houseboat: a private floating basecamp where you can sun, relax, and launch directly into the lake from the deck.
Calm Water for Swimming and Watersports
The lake’s gentle, uncrowded surface makes it well suited to swimming, waterskiing, and snorkeling—activities that fit naturally into a half-day outing or a multi-day rental.
Lakeside Hiking and Camping
Beyond boat time, you can pull up to the shoreline to explore short lakeside hikes or set up camp for a night under the stars—simple ways to extend the quiet, outdoor feel of the rental.
What the day feels like
What the day (or days) feel like
Spend time drifting between languid laps in the lake and sun-soaked deck lounging; the boat serves as both a launch point for watersports and a low-key lakeside cabin. Slide into the water, tow a skier off the transom, snorkel the shallows, or glide the boat to a quiet cove and hike the shoreline before returning to the houseboat for evening relaxation.
