The Houseboat on Petite Lake

A one-room floating cabin with a rooftop deck, moored on the Chain O'Lakes.

Why we picked itA tiny floating cabin with a rooftop deck. Small, simple and unforgettable.

This tiny houseboat at The Cottages on Petite Lake sleeps two. You get a rooftop deck, a private patio and the lake right off the bow.

It has 143 reviews averaging 4.82, so the quirks are well known: the bathhouse is a short walk away, and the beach is about 35 steps down.
