About this property

Cozy Floating Retreat on Rondout Creek

Welcome aboard Houseboat River Queen, a cozy floating retreat docked on Rondout Creek near Kingston in the heart of the Hudson Valley.

Once you step aboard, you’re on river time.

Wake up to soft water movement, morning fog drifting across the creek, and coffee on the deck as boats quietly pass by. Spend the afternoon exploring Kingston’s waterfront galleries, restaurants, and shops, then return for sunset reflections and peaceful evenings on the water.

River Queen is designed for couples, solo travelers, artists, writers, and anyone looking for a unique escape from the pace of everyday life.

Our houseboat is a thoughtfully designed compact space. Ceiling heights are approximately 6'3", stairs, ladders, and bathrooms are narrow, which may not be suitable for all guests.

Please note: The houseboat is for stay aboard only and does not leave the dock

The houseboat is self contained and includes:
• WiFi /electricity/hot water
• air conditioning/heat
• full bathroom
• kitchen essentials
• upper deck seating
• peaceful marina setting
• short and long-term stays available

Located near Kingston’s historic Rondout waterfront, with easy access to Woodstock, Rhinebeck, Saugerties, hiking trails, galleries, and Hudson Valley day trips.

This is not a luxury yacht experience. It’s something slower, quieter, and more personal, a chance to experience life on the water in a way most people never do.
There's a private patio. A kitchenette is outfitted with a refrigerator and a stovetop. Complimentary wireless internet access keeps you connected, and a Smart television is provided for your entertainment. The bathroom has a shower.
This smoke-free houseboat features hiking/biking trails nearby and sailing nearby.
Guests will find features like internet access and onsite parking.

Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy
I have never slept on a boat and it was great. Occasionally a boat would go by a bit fast and the waves would rock the boat - that was interesting if I was standing but wonderful if I was laying or sitting down. The location was peaceful and exactly what I was seeking. I did get some work done but I was trying to take off a few days and the location, boat, and the length of stay were all exactly what I needed.The host was amazing as well. Nice, responsive, lived close by and hence was available if something went wonky.One warning - which was why I picked it. There is one restaurant you can walk to. The food was good but the bar area was small - with the ability to take your drink outside if you wanted and on nice days that was great. You have to drive everywhere else. Grocery store, C-Store, restaurant, etc.
Stayed 3 nights in Jul 2026
