Rainy Lake Houseboats

Voyageurs National Park was established in 1971. Rainy Lake is a place of transition; between upland and aquatic ecosystems, northern boreal and southern hardwood forests, development and wilderness. It’s where the highways end and the ancient waterways begin. Our fully equipped Rainy Lake Houseboat vacation rentals provide you with total freedom to explore these waterways as the mood moves you. Discover hidden bays and intimate islands. Rest on the sun-warmed sands of a secluded cove. Marvel at the sprawling landscape spread before your houseboat bow. Feel the lake beckoning you to roam further. Be serenaded by wilderness sounds as you gather fresh blueberries for morning pancakes. Listen to the peaceful, haunting calls of the loons. Fall asleep to the music of lapping water underneath a million brilliant stars. Capture memories to last a lifetime!

I, Jason Ellman am a Licensed Charter Captain with the United States Coast Guard (USCG) and a USCG approved Instructor who has successfully competed in Walleye tournaments throughout the Midwest. Those experiences have allowed me to retain a vast knowledge of Walleye fishing, but I am not a one species guide. I enjoy targeting Smallmouth and Largemouth Bass, Northern Pike, and Muskie. While on the water, Northern Water Excursions LLC will have a high concentration on safety. I am First Aid and CPR certified, as well as Fully Insured which can put your mind at ease knowing you’re in good hands with me as your Captain.
