About this property
Houseboat River Queen a Peaceful Retreat on The Rondout Creek
Welcome aboard the River Queen.
You are now on Creek Time.
If you’ve ever wondered what it would be like to wake up on the water, this is your invitation.
Docked in a quiet marina on The Rondout Creek, River Queen offers a unique Hudson Valley escape where life naturally slows down. Enjoy your morning coffee on the upper deck as the creek comes to life, watch boats drift by throughout the day, and spend your evenings under a sky reflected in the water.
Although the setting feels peaceful and tucked away, River Queen offers the best of both worlds: peaceful mornings on the water and easy access to everything the area has to offer.
Lake Sophia, Kingston’s new swimming hole, is a short 10-minute drive from the marina. Visit Kingston’s historic districts, browse local art galleries and quaint shops, dine at waterfront restaurants, visit nearby wineries and farms, then return to the quiet rhythm of the creek to watch the sunset from the deck.
Whether you’re celebrating an anniversary, planning a romantic getaway, exploring the Hudson Valley, or simply looking for a peaceful place to recharge, we’d be honored to welcome you aboard.
The Space
River Queen is thoughtfully designed for two adults seeking a relaxing and memorable stay.
Inside you’ll find:
• A comfortable bedroom with cozy linens
• A welcoming living area with beautiful water views
• A well-equipped kitchenette for simple meals
• A private bathroom
• Air conditioning and Wi-Fi
• Outdoor seating perfect for coffee, reading, or an evening glass of wine
Why Guests Love Staying Here:
• A truly unique houseboat experience in the Hudson Valley
• Peaceful waterfront setting
• Just five minutes from Kingston’s vibrant Rondout Waterfront
• Ideal for couples celebrating anniversaries, birthdays, or simply time together
• Convenient access to hiking, historic sites, shopping, restaurants, breweries, and local attractions
• Responsive hosts who live nearby if you need assistance
River Queen is best suited for adults seeking a peaceful getaway. While children may visit the marina with proper supervision, the River Queen is designed as a quiet retreat for grown-ups.
We simply ask our guests to respect the water, the marina, and the peaceful atmosphere that makes this place so special.
We look forward to welcoming you aboard.

About the host
Hosted by Steven Proner
My wife and I created the River Queen because we fell in love with life on the water. Living aboard reminded us to slow down and appreciate the simple things—a quiet morning, the changing light on the creek, a conversation without distractions. We wanted to share that experience with others.
Why they chose this property
We love living along the Rondout because it offers a unique blend of history, natural beauty, and small-town charm. Watching the boats come and go, enjoying spectacular sunsets, with bald eagles soaring above; being surrounded by water and nature never gets old.
What makes this property unique
Houseboat River Queen offers something you won’t find at a typical vacation rental~a peaceful stay right on the water in the heart of Kingston’s historic Rondout waterfront.
Wake up to the gentle movement of the creek, enjoy your morning coffee on the deck as boats pass by, and end the day with beautiful sunsets reflected on the water. You’re just across the creek from waterfront restaurants, galleries, shops, museums, and live music, yet the houseboat feels like a quiet retreat from everyday life.
Thoughtfully designed to be cozy and comfortable, River Queen is perfect for couples, solo travelers, artists, and anyone looking to slow down and experience the Hudson Valley from a different perspective. It’s not just a place to stay, it’s an opportunity to experience life on the water.
