My family is thinking about renting a houseboat on Shuswap next summer (yes, we are obsessive planners...lol...also they recommend that you reserve a year in advance). Has anyone done this? Is it worth the money or would it be just as fun to go camping?
Re: NBR: Houseboats
I am trying to convince my brother to do this for his wedding in Sept 2010. We could rent a couple so his friends could be on one, family on the other...dock somewhere for the ceremony. arrange for a catering company to do a beach bbq...
Koocanusa has houseboating too and I don't think it is as well known as Shushwap. It's a beautiful lake.
That sounds like a fantastic idea for a wedding. So much fun!
Maybe I will look at Koocanusa too...thanks.
I did this in university with a big bunch of girlfriends (we rented 2 houseboats for all of us) It was an absolute blast - a drunken 4 day/night party with lots of suntanning & swimming inbetween
I highly recommend it as it was loads of fun - definitely a nice change from camping
