Lake Koocanusa: Sunbreezer

At 16 feet wide and 63 feet long, the Sunbreezer is the definition of spacious, sleeping up to 18 people. The sleeping arrangements consist of two penthouse rooms with double-beds, three staterooms with queen beds, a bunk room, a cuddy room with double beds and a sofa that folds out into a double bed. Some houseboats truly are floating palaces and this is one of them - you will never lack for room to sleep.

The kitchen has a similar roominess, home to a full-size range, two refrigerator and plenty of storage space. The sink is even stainless steel. The bathroom has a similar home-style comfort to its design, with a vanity as well as toilet and shower. Head out to the front deck for a barbecue, then climb the stairs to the upper deck to steer from the fly bridge.

The Sunbreezer is also designed for recreation. Inside, you'll find a TV with DVD player, as well as a CD stereo. Outside is not only another stereo, but a hot tub and waterslide. Slip down into the water or soak under the stars.
