Overview

Lake Roosevelt Resort & Marina offers superb houseboat rentals and is located on one of the largest man-made lakes in the United States. Situated in the northeast corner of Washington State, where Grand Coulee Dam calms the majestic Columbia River to “flatwater”, you will find houseboating on beautiful Lake Roosevelt an unforgettable experience. Shimmering, crystal clear blue water, sandy beaches, lush forests, meadows, and abundant wildlife, combined with the most luxurious accommodations available, insure a relaxing and pleasurable experience.

Lake Roosevelt is maintained as a National Recreation Area, preserving all 650 miles of shoreline for public use. This allows you to stop and explore anywhere along the lake. The number of houseboats allowed on the lake is limited, assuring miles of beaches and secluded coves where you can anchor and go ashore for as long as you like. Go for a hike or find some fishing spots that are plentiful with Walleye or trout.

A number of species of wildlife, which most people will never see in their natural habitat, are commonly sighted on the surrounding shores. The Bald Eagle, Wild Turkey, Whitetail and Mule Deer, and many smaller animals will delight your group. You may want to go ashore for a nature walk, or a romantic dinner under the stars, in a privacy rarely found!

The houseboats accommodate 10-13 people in comfort and makes for great multi-family vacations because there is something to do for all ages. You can star gaze in the evenings from atop the houseboat as you soak in the hot tub. You can sit in relaxation reading a book in air-conditioned comfort while your music plays on the CD and your children play on the slide. The hot dry summer weather and the water are outstanding for watersports if you choose to bring your boat and skis or rent a ski boat and kayak from the marina.

It is the strong feeling of the owners of Lake Roosevelt Houseboat Vacations, Inc. that they maintain the pristine nature of your houseboating experience and at the same time offer the finest equipment offered anywhere. In their 35+ years of experience in catering to the vacationing public, they have learned that a value “experience” is the most favored by the discriminating public. Let them offer you a vacation paradise with the finest amenities and equipment available.
