Houseboating

My friends and myself are considering a houseboat trip next summer to either LOTW or Rainy Lake. We are interested in a boat that will accomodate 6 to 8 men comfortably. Can anyone recommend a vendor that may accomodate our needs? Could you also state how you liked your houseboating and fishing expereince. Thanks.

This is the only place on the Canadian side of Rainy Lake. http://www.canwildfloatinglodges.com/ Used to be owned by Bill Fontana years ago but has changed hands twice since. You might want to look into a resort instead. Not to sure how things are going out there.

I am going thru Tomahawk Houseboats the second week in July. Have never done a HB trip, but have fished LOW for several years. I do have several guy's I work with at St. Croix Rods that have done HB trips and they all had great experiences. The one big recommendation they had for me was not to crap in the toilet on the HB if you don't have to. Apparently it gets a bit stinky as the week goes on. Hope it works out for ya.

We've been using Lake of the Woods houseboats for over 15 yrs. www.lowhouseboats.com A 44' boat is the perfect size for six guys, each will have an individual bunk. A 52' boat will hold 9 guys (nine bunks). Some of the bunks are double but we prefer not to double up.
