Kentucky Lake: Mystic Houseboat

At 80 feet long and 18 feet wide, the Mystic dwarfs most other houseboats - in itself, it is a floating palace. There are six private bedrooms within this massive interior, which allows for 12 to sleep very comfortable. A sleeper sofa adds even a little extra sleeping area. Two bathrooms, both with showers, have the same home-like spaciousness.

The kitchen is well-equipped, with dishwasher as well as stove and refrigerator. What really lets the cooking potential soar, though, is not one, but two grills. A Foreman grill on the top deck and a gas grill on the forward deck allows you to have a barbecue on the water with unparalleled style.

Everything about the Mystic has style, a sense of taking a step up from most houseboating experiences. The purely recreational part of your experience is no different. The waterslide isn't just any waterslide, but a twisting, tube of a waterslide, waterpark style. You can lounge out on the deck - or in a hot tub. You have a television, but also a DVD/VCR and a satellite dish. In every way, the Mystic houseboat provides for fun and comfort on the water.
