Houseboat Rentals
Dale Hollow Lake is consistently included among the lists of best places for houseboat enthusiasts in the United States. We are pleased to be able to provide you and your family and friends with an unforgettable experience when you rent one of our 11 houseboats, which range in size from 65′ to 80′ and sleep from 8-12 people.
We have four 80′ houseboats that sleep 12 people comfortably. There are four 65′ houseboats with four bedrooms that sleep a total of eight people in four separate bedrooms.
We provide adult life jackets, a 150-quart cooler, televisions with a DVD player, linens, pillows, trash bags, toilet paper, pots and pans and more. Some houseboats have radio, a dishwasher and satellite television. Click here for a list of what to bring and what’s included.
Our houseboats are rented from our Cedar Hill Marina location. Call 931-243-3201 for reservations. Please let our staff know if you would like to reserve a pontoon or fishing boat along with your houseboat, and your reservation package will be arranged for you.
