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’s 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, you’re just a five-minute drive from Kingston’s historic Rondout Waterfront, where you’ll find award-winning restaurants, galleries, boutiques, breweries, live music, and scenic walks along the Hudson River.

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 minutes drive from the marina. Visit Kingston’s historic districts, browsing local art galleries and quaint shops, dining at waterfront restaurants, visiting 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.
