Getaway Houseboats • 56ft

Lime Saddle Marina, located near Paradise, California, offers a refreshing retreat on the water through its 56-foot Getaway Houseboats. Designed for groups up to 12, these spacious vessels deliver the ideal blend of comfort and adventure on the expansive lake. Far from crowded marinas, Lime Saddle’s calm waters invite swimmers, snorkelers, and waterskiers to enjoy an active day under the sun, punctuated by the thrill of a built-in waterslide that spills straight into the lake.

Aboard these houseboats, afternoons can unfold lazily with a book on the sun deck or lively with a lakeside barbecue using the onboard grill and full kitchen amenities. With four bedrooms and two bathrooms, including hot showers, the boats provide a unique lodging experience that suits families or groups seeking quality time immersed in nature without sacrificing comfort. Air conditioning and Bluetooth speakers keep guests cool and entertained after time in the sun.

Beyond the water, Lime Saddle’s shoreline offers quiet hiking trails and secluded camping spots, perfect for stretching legs or setting up camp under towering pines and oak groves. The surrounding Sierra Nevada foothills frame the lake, adding rugged rocky vistas and seasonal wildflowers that punctuate the scenic landscape. Historically, the lake has served both recreational and agricultural purposes, but today it stands as a centerpiece for outdoor enthusiasts who value a less commercialized, more intimate experience.

Lime Saddle Marina’s houseboats stand out as a rare opportunity to combine water sports, hiking, camping, and comfortable lakeside living in one package. Whether you’re sliding into the clear water, sampling local fish from a kayak, or roasting marshmallows lakeside after sunset, Getaway Houseboats at Lime Saddle Marina provide a versatile gateway to California’s lesser-known aquatic playground just a short drive from Paradise.
