Houseboat Heaven in Northern Minnesota
I'd really love to do a houseboat adventure again, possibly with friends or family also renting their own boat for a multi-day get-together.


Our Leader, Maude arranged this trip for 8 of us. Old farts, Middle farts and young uns. We ate, drank, fished, drank, ate, swam, drank and had a great time. Who knew? 7 people together for 3 days with one bathroom could do it and have a ball!!


Just enjoying relaxing and spending quality time with my new husband. Hate to think about leaving but we’ll be back. I’ve been around lakes, water and boats. A newer experience for my husband but he’s really enjoying himself. Thanks.


It’s just wonderful being here again. 3 years out of the last 4. This place on Mother Earth is so beautiful – the sounds, the smells and peacefulness I feel every time we are here.


This was one of the best vacations ever. Really fun but I got a leech on my foot. Sorry about all the crossing out up there. I’m a kid with really bad writing. P.S. here’s a tip – pour a bucket of water on the slide before you slide down. My sister neglected to do this and soon regretted it.


We have had such a good time out on Birch Lake. This has been much better than staying in a cabin. We have had the pleasure to experience the beautiful surroundings of the area. We plan on coming back for years to come. I would recommend Kinsey’s to anyone. You have been so accommodating. See you next year.


Another fabulous houseboat experience delivered to us by Kinsey’s…thanks! Love the new boat, so much room, cabins very comfortable..Excellent!


We drove from North Central Florida!! Thank you for a great time. We all loved it!


This was our first time on Kinsey Houseboats and we weren’t disappointed! Thank you so much for a great houseboat experience!


Wow! What an incredible experience. Peaceful, relaxing, solitude, beautiful birch trees and lots of sun. A wonderful retreat from the fast paced corporate world to the sound of wind over water and birds overhead.
