I do not believe there are anymore houseboat rentals on LOTO since Forever closed up.

As many people that go to LOTO, you'd think houseboats could make money!

It just isn't a houseboat lake like Dale Hollow or Cumberland is. If there was money to be made on them, you can bet they'd still be renting them there.

I never really understood the houseboat thing. You can rent a great condo with several pools, washer/dryer/ access to groc store, etc 1 cove from party cove if that's what you are looking for and be all-in and rent a boat that goes more than 5 knots for less than the houseboat. I always thought it would take a special group of couples to be able to survive on 70 ft of confined space for 4-7 days. We had a new Sea Ray down there for a while but after a night or two out on anchor it was still nice to go back to the condo, relax, regroup, etc. Good luck tho.
