Spend The Night On The Water In This Wonderfully Cool Houseboat In Iowa

When the weather's warm, you'll want to get out and play in the fresh Iowa air. There's no better place to spend quality time with friends and family than a houseboat on the Mississippi River, and S&S Houseboat Rentals can hook you up with the perfect vessel for your vacation.

Are you ready for a fun family vacation? S&S Houseboat Rentals has six different houseboat models to fit any size group, and the Monticello is one of our favorites. You'll find these houseboats on the banks of the Mississippi in Lansing.

Address: 990 South Front Street, Lansing, IA, 52151

The Monticello is 62 feet long and 16 feet wide, and accommodates up to 10 people. No experience needed - they'll teach you how to operate the houseboat, and navigate the Upper Mississippi before you set off on your adventure.

Climb up to the 24-foot party top for a great view and shady seating. Enjoy a drink at the wet bar, and grill some steaks on the BBQ grill.

The Monticello has a full kitchen with everything you'll need to prepare tasty meals during your trip - just bring groceries. This model has two refrigerators, a full-size stove, a microwave, blender, toaster, and coffee pot.

Relax inside on the couch and enjoy the entertainment system with 40-inch TV and DVD player.

When the weather's hot, you'll want to cool off in the Mississippi. Climb up to the platform and jump right in, or use the slippery slide to splash into the water.

When you're done playing in the water for the day, find a sandy beach area and dock right there for the night. You can enjoy s'mores and campfire stories before climbing back onboard to go to sleep.

The Monticello has four private bedrooms with queen-sized beds, plus a queen-sized sleeper sofa in the main family room area. As the waves lap at the sides of the boat, you'll drift off to sleep in your comfy bed right on the river.

Make family memories that will last a lifetime on your houseboat vacation!
