Peaceful Setting
Mike & Wanda are tremendous hosts, go out of their way to ensure your stay is perfect. Can’t beat sitting on deck having morning coffee while the sun rises or watching moon rise at night while overlooking the lake. Had a great time! Thankyou Mike & Wanda for sharing your boathouse and very unique property.

Perfect little get away!
This place is appropriately named! Amazing Grace is an understatement. Mike and Wanda are gracious hosts. The boat house is antique, awesomely decorated and immaculate. The lake is full of fish, and very uninhabited so it is peaceful also. Thanks Mike and Wanda, we so enjoyed our stay! John and Laurie

No regrets! Fabulous
Stayed with my parents and my daughter and her friend. The 12yr old girls loved hanging out in the gazebo octagon house and taking out the paddle board to the floating dock and floating trampoline. My parents enjoyed the tranquility and wildlife of the location. How can you beat the proximity to the beautiful quiet lake! I enjoyed that everyone was happy. I’m also a sucker for mid-century and this place had it all!!! Mike and Wanda were awesome, the best hosts you could ask for, sweet sweet people who genuinely care about your experience. Book this gem! So worth it. Thank you Mike and Wanda! -Jill S.

Perfect Up North Get Away
Mike and Wanda made us feel so welcome from the moment we arrived. The retro property was spotless and pictured accurately. They live on the same property so checked in to make sure we had everything we needed several times during our stay- but did not interfere in any way. They were available to answer questions or provide a bike route or restaurant recommendation. There is another rental cabin on the property- but they did not interfere with our stay in any way. We thoroughly enjoyed all of the ‘toys” such as canoe, kayaks, stand up paddle boards, row boat and available motor. We also enjoyed the many paved bike routes near by. We thoroughly enjoyed the wildlife: eagles, loons, otters and deer. We can’t recommend this property enough and look forward to returning in the future. Thanks for making our vacation GREAT!!!!!!

Relaxing North Woods Retreat
We really enjoyed our stay at Amazing Grace. It is the perfect location to get away and relax. Waking up listening to the loons and watching the eagles is a great way to start the day. Mike and Wanda were great host and made sure everything we needed was taken care of. I would recommend this to anybody looking for a north woods getaway. Fishing was also pretty good on the lakes as well!

Boat House from Leave It To Beaver Era
The Amazing Grace boat house is amazing. It is a "wet" boathouse, which means that you can actually place a boat inside while it stays in the water. These are rare and due to environmental impacts can't be constructed any longer. This boat house dates to the 1950s and has been lovingly restored to reflect that era. It must have featured the cutting edge elements for the time and most of these are still in good working order. For those of you not fond of living like the Beaver, even if the boat house is someplace any self-respecting beaver would love to call home; do not fear. Mike and Wanda have added modern amenities like a furnace and TV along with WiFi to bring it into the 21st century. The boat house features a generous living / dining room with a truly unique 1950s era kitchen, but there is a microwave. This combines to represent the front 2/3 of the house in an open concept plan. There are two decent sized bedrooms that are roughly the same size. Each features wonderful built in shelving and drawer/dresser systems. The bathroom is a bit small; but functional. There is no central AC, though the second bedroom just have a mobile unit. I suspect it is never really needed though. The home has windows everywhere and positioned out over the lake you catch all the cooling lake breezes. While I never tried it I am convinced I could have caught fish off the deck. The compound, there is another rental property behind you owned by Mike and Wanda too, is one of only three properties on the whole lake. The White Birch Village resort is next door; but it is separated from Mike and Wanda's by the lake's outlet and other than seeing the people there we never really noticed the resort. White Birch lake is a few hundred acres, but about 1/3 of it is shallow and only useful for kayaking. The fishing was hot and heavy while we were there. There is an island across from the property and a really nice sand bar that extends out for swimming. A channel connects you to 500 acre Ballard lake. Only about 30% of this lake has homes with the rest being forest. It has better fishing and several great sand bars for swimming. If this isn't enough to convince you to stay at the Amazing Grace Boathouse then you must not really want to stay in the Wisconsin Northwoods.

Stunning Stays
This is our second stay in the boathouse. Everyday is stunning here. The variety of things to do in this area are plentiful. The ability to comfortably do nothing in a cozy vintage setting on top of the water is priceless. The kitchen is a vintage galley kitchen with an available outdoor grill. Bringing extra coolers this year was great. Mike and Wanda are always attentive to make your stay the best it can be. We will be counting down the days until our return here!

Perfect snowmobiling location
We stayed in the boathouse cabin for almost a week. It’s a cozy cabin overlooking a beautiful little lake and it’s less than a mile by lake to the nearest snowmobile trail. Mike and Wanda were excellent hosts. They were very helpful when we had questions about the cabin or any questions regarding the lake, snowmobile trails, places to eat, etc. We appreciate there kindness and their help throughout our stay! We look forward to staying in their cabin again during the winter to snowmobile in the area or in the summer to experience life on the lake!

We loved staying at this boathouse. The property was located close to many of our favorite winter trails. The owners were very friendly and helpful. Even in winter, the views overlooking the lake from the huge picture windows were beauteous. The property is very clean and well maintained.

Situated above a boathouse right on the water’s edge, this Amazing Grace cabin had all the comforts of home and beautiful views out of two bay windows. Hosts Mike and Wanda were helpful in orienting us during checking and pointing out good places to hike or eat. We greatly enjoyed our stay and will definitely return this summer!

North Woods Gem!
This place is a gem in the north woods. It is quiet and the views of the lake are second to none. This place is perfect for small families or a group of 3-4 friends. The fishing is fantastic and the location to plenty of other lakes and trails is perfect. Mike and Wanda are great to deal with. I will definitely be staying here again.

Can't beat the location
Boat house is located right on the edge of the lake! The location is hard to beat. Interior is clean and comfortable. Lots of fun things to do on the property - lake, boats, fire pit. Lots of fun things to do off property - hiking, ATVs, little towns. Thanks so much for the wonderful stay Mike and Wanda! Note: the hosts live on the property and there's another rental right next door, so if you're looking for seclusion this is not the right place.

Vintage Charm at it's Best!!
This was a much needed get away - for sanity's sake. It was a bit chilly for the time of year, but I am used to the Northwoods adventure (the Hubs - not so much) Always bring layers, even in July. Other than that, the cottage was immaculate, the hosts were gracious and the fishing wasn't too bad (Caught 2 Northerns) White Birch Lake is the smallest of a 3 lake chain, but we were only able to get to 2 of them. We made a lot of good memories on this trip and had time to reflect what is going on in this crazy world - but what better place to reflect on your blessings than up in the Northwoods! Highly reccomended and looking forward to seeing the property in another year or so, since it is a work in progress!

Embrace rustic minimalism
I loved this place. It was clean, comfortable and so well suited to its environment, rustic and peaceful. Felt like you were almost on a boat with just the necessary comforts - fit my desire to simplify and be in nature. Mike and Wanda were very hospitable and went out of their way to help us celebrate an 11 year old birthday. We brought pre-prepared meals and a big cooler to avoid stores and restaurants during pandemic, so small/limited kitchen was fine. Kayaks, SUP, pedal boat right there and easy to use. Water a little mucky but kids got over it and had fun jumping off platform while I watched from the deck. Campfire set up for us each night by hosts. One small bathroom and TV and Wi-Fi weren't the best but we would have spent less time enjoying our surroundings if they had been better. It's not high luxury, but I didn't want a suburban house on a lake. It really did feel like a different time and place - perfect to reset my brain. I recommend the bike path and donuts in Boulder Junction. Plenty of other stuff in area that we didnt get to. Maybe next time!
