As the saying goes, "not all who wander are lost." Traveling can be an exciting and rejuvenating experience, but it can also be quite daunting to find the perfect place to stay.

If you're sick of the same old hotels and motels that are merely places to pass out between water parks or zoos....then this unique cabin might be precisely what you need.

How About a Floating Cabin?

Located at Millennium Marina, there is a cabin that features retro vibes and breathtaking views of the Mississippi River backwaters. Unlike traditional rentals, you'll be staying directly on the water, with a private floating deck that provides an intimate connection to nature.

They've got the regular amenities any place would have (two queen bedrooms, a trundle bed, a full kitchen, and a cozy living room with an electric fireplace) but you'll be as close to the water as you'll ever wish to be.
