About this property

The Northern Houseboat at Timber Bay

Embrace the perfect blend of rugged utility and modern relaxation with The Northern Houseboat at Timber Bay. As a prominent member of our popular Getaway Series, this vessel is specifically engineered to accommodate larger parties, comfortably sleeping 8 people (ideally suited for 6 to 7 adults). Its versatile layout makes it a premier choice for dedicated fisherman looking for a mobile basecamp, as well as groups and families who want to explore the lake without feeling crowded.

The interior is designed with a wide cabin-style architecture, providing an expansive floor plan that facilitates easy movement and social interaction. For sleeping, the boat offers an impressive configuration of four double beds and two singles, ensuring that every member of your group has a comfortable place to rest after a long day on the water.

When the sun is high, the integrated water slide becomes the star of the show, offering a fun and easy way for everyone to cool off. Built for the modern adventurer, The Northern includes all standard equipment and is fully generator compatible, giving you the power and independence needed for extended stays in more remote locations. Whether you are hauling in a record catch or enjoying a family dinner in the spacious cabin, this boat delivers a top-tier experience.
Guests can expect to find a TV with a DVD player. Other standard amenities include a kitchen, a fireplace, and a balcony. Limited housekeeping is available.
