Houseboat vacation rentals in New England

I proposed here! Newport has been very special for me and my partner. I knew Lilypad would be the perfect setting and Danielle went above and beyond to help me make the proposal better than I envisioned! The Lilypad was tucked in around Fort Adams with beautiful views of the bay. The waters were serene with a gentle breeze throughout our stay. We also enjoyed the watertaxi rides, especially at night where we stargazed underneath a clear sky! Danielle was super friendly and accomendated all of our needs. Lilypad will forever have a special place in our hearts and we can't wait to stay again!

The house boat is in a great location with easy walking access the Freedom Trail locations like Bunker Hill or the USS Constitution. Catching the ferry to Long Wharf or the 93 bus downtown is also very convenient. Our two kids loved the sleeping in the loft.

This was our first experience on a houseboat. We were both in need of rest and relaxation. I loved hearing the rain drops while I slept and have always felt nurtured by the rocking of a boat. We enjoyed our experience, caught up on lots of reading. We left feeling restored. Rheanna was a delight to meet! So helpful in getting us boarded. The boat is fully equipped and very detailed instructions were helpful to refer to when needed. I highly recommend this experience! We enjoyed the full moon and the golden glow of the fall leaves during our stay. Would be great to return and also to experience a cabin stay on the property. If you are a cold plunger this experience would be a plus! There is also a sauna on the premises. We had the choice to paddle back to land on the canoe attached to our mooring. However, we chose to stay on board for the three nights on the houseboat.

Danielle is a fantastic host with a beautiful home. Within minutes of settling into the Lilypad we were already making plans to return. The views were excellent, water taxi service was convenient, the boat was in terrific shape, and we felt right at home.

This stay was a 10/10, would highly recommend to anyone in the Providence area. We booked for a last minute getaway; Neil was proactive, providing helpful and visual instructions for parking. Check in was simple and practical. Upon immediate entry we were welcomed with a home-like vibe, fresh full sets of towels and linen, stocked kitchen and bath amenities among others. The top of the boat definitely provides a cool view! We stopped into The Hot Club and were met with super friendly staff, a fun karaoke night and some good bar eats and drinks. Looking forward to coming back for another nice and convenient stay.

Really relaxing and cute stay. We enjoyed the hot tub alot and paddle boarding in the morning Bed was super confortable

Great place! Very peaceful with nature, on the waterfront! Very cozy little chalet. Perfect for replenishing energy! Plus, the host accepts our furry companions! Thank you so much for everything!

my partner, dog and I spent 3 nights at Bora Boreal, we rung the new year in blissful silence away from the hustle of our everyday lives. We enjoyed our time on our floating cabin. Our time was spent disconnecting from the internet (there is very little service, which can make some people panic, personally we enjoyed starting the new year without being glued to our phones). It is the perfect place to disconnect, and connect with the people you love! I'm sure we will be back.

We enjoyed ourselves! Truly a unique experience and one we have already shared with many people encouraging them to check it out. Food/dining wasn’t crystal clear to us but there is an IGA 15m away and that was perfect. It may be specific to many Canadian Airbnbs but definitely be prepared to take care of a few things prior to your checkout and allow time for that. We look forward to planning a summer trip here and checking out the lovely lake!

Very fun place to stay. Right near restaurants on the water, short walking distance from the heart of all the fun things in Salem.

We had a great stay here, it was a really beautiful peaceful cabin and a great getaway. Hot tubs were hot, we also visited Sherbrooke, the Strom Spa and a few restaurants. The people were very friendly in the area. Will definitely visit again some time.

What a wonderful place to stay for the Boston marathon! Close to everything including restaurants and an easy walk around and water taxis close too! The boat was super clean with a few hang out areas. Sherrie met us and explained it all! Clear communication and so easy! Hope to be able to come again!

We highly recommend Deborah's place! It was very unique & charming and the location was perfect for taking in all the sites to see in Boston. Deborah was very quick to communicate whenever we reached out and she also allowed us to check in two hours early which gave us more time to explore the city and surrounding area. Looking forward to returning one day.

A truly magical place at the end of a beautiful valley - we chose it (in winter) as an alternative to staying in Quebec City and although it takes a good 45 mins to drive between the two locations, it was definitely worth it. We loved our stay and recommend it to others looking for a quiet place where enjoying stunning views of snow-covered mountains and frozen lakes while reading a book near a warm stove. Thank you!

Thoroughly enjoyed my stay - everything was clean and operational, the bed was comfortable, and the breakfast pastries were such a thoughtful touch. Thank you!

We had wonderful 4 days at Yves place. Layout is very smart. Wonderful windows and light. Bed very comfortable. Happily cooked in the kitchen. It is well positioned to walk to the old city and along the St. Lawrence River. On the other side of the Marina is an urban garden with the most amazing veggies. We had wonderful neighbors during out stay in the sister house boat next to us. Looking forward to coming back.

This was such a cozy sweet stay and the host was very responsive

It was beautiful, made the 10 hour drive worth it!
