Boat vacation rentals in The Great Lakes

My 5-year-old daughter and I were on a road trip and we booked this very last minute. it was definitely the highlight of the trip and wish we would have stayed a couple of extra days. the water was beautiful in the evening with the sunset.

Ian's place is as described. His boat is clean, and the resort is well organized. He is one of the few hosts that is actually on-site, to help with anything needed; he is also very accommodating and easy-going. I didn't think there was actually going to be a karaoke night, as it had been described in the other reviews, but there was one. The whole area is conducive to a relaxed state of mind. my son and I enjoyed staying here and will very likely come back for some good fishing. Yes, we caught fish too, which was a plus.

The stay was fun and a lesson in history at the same time! I would highly recommend spending the time and taking the tours of both boats.

Fun stay. Make sure you get a tour of the engine room. So much fun learning about this ship and feeling like you are experiencing a piece of history.

Very quiet, beautiful and peaceful place!!! Thanks to Ian and his family, I really enjoyed it!!! Good place for meditations, fishing, swimming and cool ,fun karaoke night :))

Ian is a great host very friendly and professional. Amenities are well kept from the swimming pool to the fish cleaning hut, you can buy even premium gas for your boat and enjoy a Saturday evening karaoke. Definitely we will come back again.

We 4 friends stay in Yacht for 2 nights. It’s great experience. Ian (host) is nice person, helpful, cooperative and honest man. Will visit again soon. Thanks

Thomas and Cynthia are amazing hosts. We spent 2 nights on the boat and had an amazing time. The house and the boat are on such a unique location right next to the ship wrecks. We spent a lot of time on the water rowing, paddle boarding and canoeing. Our kid also had so much fun on the floating trampoline. Waking up to the sunrise and watching the wrecks as the first rays of sunlight hit the water was the highlight of our stay. Special thanks to Cynthia for showing us around and answering all our questions. Their dogs Bear and Abby are so cute 🥰 Hope to visit again in the future ❤️

I can’t imagine there is a better way to see the Apostle Islands than with Peter and his sailboat. He’s an accomplished sailor, an expert tour guide of the area and a lot of fun to be around (which is extremely important when living with someone on a boat for 3 days). I’d highly recommend his charter as a far better alternative to taking commercial tour boats and ferries to see this incredible piece of country.

awesome experience. perfect location. this was our 3rd time staying in a sailboat, thanks Trey! nice and cozy sailboat!

This rental exceeded our expectations. A very unique experience. The yacht is very well appointed with everything that we needed to enjoy our stay. We cooked every night on board and the galley had great ammenities and kitchen ware. The owner Jack was great to deal with and was always quick to respond to any questions. We were actually fishing on another boat in the marina so the location was perfect. I will hopefully get a chance to get back to this rental again soon. Thanks Jack for the use of your boat.

Thank you so much to kim and ed very helpful people and it was a great stay ! Totally recommend it

Patrick and Mindy’s place was great! Clean, pictures of the listing were accurate, they were very timely with their responses. Would definitely recommend this as a cute alternative Airbnb place! Will definitely keep their boats in mind if I’m ever traveling in the area again.

What can I say about this B&B...it was simply amazing. It was super easy to check-in and easy to find. The owners have a great response time and we're always available if I had any questions. The yacht itself was beautiful and charming. If you are looking for somewhere to stay that isn't the typical hotel room then this listing is the one for you! We had an amazing time staying here and will rent this listing in the future. I do not have a negative word to say about this stay.

Pretty cute little boat, the heater kept it toasty and warm. Kind of a tighter fit than I was expecting however that didn’t take away from the positive experience I had. It was also nice to be so close to the main area for the bathrooms. One thing that is worth mentioning is that the main push up door to get in and out is pretty hard to open and needs to be jiggled quite a bit. Just a little side note!

Wonderful stay. Although the listing states no restroom there is a toilet and utilities. There is no shower on the boat but there is one located on site and is just a short walk. The houseboat is part of an inn and is very clean with lots of accessories to the stay. If your on the fence on staying here please don’t hesitate you won’t regret it.

Jay's place is one of the best we have visited. The neighborhood is peaceful, quiet and overall lovely to be around. The house itself was large, spacious and more than enough to accommodate a party of more than 15 people. The rooms were kept clean and there was much space in the living room. Jay is a very responsive host and got back to us with instructions almost immediately. The check-in process was smooth as well. The only places that could use some improvement would be the outdoor cleanliness, including the balcony and the BBQ. Otherwise, our group had a great and pleasant stay.

The Sweet Water was such a fun and unique place to stay! We loved being within walking distance of all of the restaurants and shops in Bayfield. The sunrise views were spectacular! We were even able to hear a live band while relaxing in the back of the boat one night! Such a cool experience. Amanda is a great host!
