We have been going on Ebels houseboats for 30 years and have always been treated with respect and have received professional service from Joe and Katie and their staff. At times my group has rented 2 and 3 houseboats from these guys at one time. If we ever needed them they were there to help us. Their houseboats are the... More

We are excited about this year's trip. We will have extended family joining us agian and we anticipate a week of fun and fishing. Our family has enjoyed Voyageurs National Park many times aboard one of Ebel's houseboats and we have always received the best service. The best thing ever is the excellent support we receive from the entire staff... More

This was our first experience doing a houseboat trip and will come back to Ebel's again. The staff was extremely friendly and helpful - they helped load our boat, showed us how things worked, and answered all our questions to our satisfaction. It was a super family vacation and we will most definitely come back again!!! Ebel's even have a... More

Worst rental experience of my life. Owner was obnoxiously rude. Multiple times he yelled and belittled his employees in front of the customers. He yelled at us for pulling our boat into a spot we were told to park in by another employee! Can you believe it? We were told it would take approxamatly 40 minutes from the time of... More

It was at that point that Ebel's showed their true service. They sent out a service boat fast to help us get on with our vacation and were more then... More

But this experience with us all grown up was absolutely incredible! The Boat was Fantasic(Vista 51). Katy, Joe and the crew were courtious and helpful, at the beginning and end of the trip.... More

We went houseboating with Ebel's in July 2007. After deciding on northern Minnesota as our destination we searched the net and gave Ebel's a try. There were 8 of us...4 adults and 4 kids. I was worried at first because we had never been houseboating and I didn't know if there would be enough for everyone to do. The mom... More

This was our fifth year on the Ebel's Houseboats and again two families of four shared the Vista 61 comfortably with no problems with the equipment. Fishing was better than most years, enough sun to get a tan floating, boating, or waterskiing. After dusk one of our favorite times is Happy Hour counting shooting stars or wishing for the Northern... More
