Lovely and Fun Place to Stay

The Boathouse is very unique place. Beautiful views of Little Star Lake from both levels. The lower level is an awesome place to hang out when you open the garage doors and pull down the screens. Grandkids loved the sugar sand lake bottom and kayaking from the lake up the channel to the house. Host is very easy to communicate with.

Excellent North Wood Retreat

This property is even better than advertised. It was perfect for our group of guys looking to relax and do some ice fishing. Easy access to many of the surrounding lakes. Dan is an excellent host and his boathouse is a one of a kind place. Thanks Dan for making your boathouse available, we look forward to coming back soon.

Boathouse is awesome!

We stayed here with a small group of friends for an annual fishing trip. The lower unit of the boathouse is setup great for hanging out and telling fish stories. We used the upstairs primarily for sleeping and making coffee though well setup for cooking and another living space. The lower is well appointed with a bar, large TV, and bathroom with a pool and foosball table. The views out of the large screened garage bays were awesome. Sitting in the afternoon and seeing a few deer and other wildlife made for a great trip. Beautiful sandy beach on the north end of Little Star with a sandy point to swim from.

Wow!

We just returned from an amazing long weekend at the boathouse. Everything was perfect from the moment we arrived until we left. This home is beautiful, clean, and well-stocked to ensure a wonderful vacation. The views were unbelievable from the home and the lake water is crystal clear. There is an on-site pontoon boat available for rent that is owned by Waters Marine across Highway 51. We highly recommend touring the chain of lakes from the water – it did not disappoint! Dan is a fabulous host and very good at communicating. We look forward to continuing a wonderful family tradition here for years to come.

Lakeview Bliss

Took the family and some friends for a vacation getaway, this is the place to be. The view is amazing, the Boathouse is awesome. Your just steps away from one of the nicest lakes we have ever been on. The water is clear, cool, and refreshing. We brought our boat up and put it in at Greers Pier just down the road. We cruised the chain of lakes for hours just looking at the beautiful homes. There is a great public beach located on Little Star Lake where you can beach your boat and just hang out in the shallow water. Dan and his wife have put together a great location there in Manitowish Waters. Thanks for all the memories.

Amazing Place

Absolutely one of the best places I’ve ever stayed at. The channel leading right up to your 3 overhead doors- the view from those doors from the game lounge with bar and big screen TV. I don’t know what more you could ask for. This place is a dream!!! The Manitowish Chain is top notch!! I will definitely be back..

Amazing Time Was Had By All

The location and the boathouse is excellent. everything was clean up to date and in perfect working condition. This property is perfect for family's or a group of people. The lower level rec room is ideal for hanging out and enjoying your stay. Anytime we had a question or needed something it was taken care of within minutes. could not encourage anyone thinking of staying at the boat house enough. Our group of 8 fisherman will be back next year.
