Slow Days and Slide Jumps: Living Aboard the Amazing Grace Houseboat
Three- to seven-night rentals of the Amazing Grace houseboat from Seven Points Marina in Hesston provide a roomy, pet-friendly option for up to eight guests—this guide explains what the boat offers and what to bring.
Slow Days and Slide Jumps: Living Aboard the Amazing Grace Houseboat.
The Amazing Grace is a modestly styled, eight-sleeper houseboat configured for two families who want privacy without sacrificing the simple pleasures of being on the water: sleeping cabins, a cuddy with extra berths, a deck with a sliding board and basic onboard comforts that make a multi-night stay straightforward and fun.

Room for Two Families
The Amazing Grace sleeps eight with one queen, one private full and two full berths in the cuddy cabin—an arrangement that balances shared space and discreet sleeping quarters for a multi-family escape.
Deck Life and a Sliding Board
The boat brings low-key recreation to the fore: a sliding board off the deck and patio furniture for lounging, plus a gas grill and large cooler to keep meal prep easy and sociable.
All the Essentials Onboard
Kitchens come stocked with pots, pans, dishes and glassware; each boat includes A/C and heat, a full bathroom with shower, holding tanks for fresh and waste water, and the safety equipment called for by the Pennsylvania Fish and Boat Commission.
What the day feels like
What Being Aboard Feels Like
Weeknight or weekend, the Amazing Grace is designed for a relaxed rhythm: load up supplies, settle into the cabins, spend daylight hours between the deck, grill and water, and sleep in compact but comfortable berths. The modest cabin-style design keeps costs down while preserving the pleasures of a houseboat holiday, and pet-friendly options mean you can bring a dog along for the trip.
