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.
Please note: 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.
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.
