Cozy houseboat escape surrounded by breath taking views across from Rocky Neck!

If you’re looking to experience the tiny home lifestyle this is it! Rest and relax on the coziest house boat overlooking a calm river surrounded by views and birds. This ain’t just a place to sleep it’s an experience. Permanently docked at our small family owned marina. Wake up and enjoy a cup of coffee on its own deck or jump on a paddle board and take a trip down the calm waters of the river that open up to the Long Island Sound. End the day sitting by your own fire pit while you grill the days catch. Hidden in the sweetest coastal small town of Old Lyme! Right across the river is Rocky Neck State Park with miles of ocean front hiking trails and large state beach and pavilion.

Amazing place
The place was amazing The host was absolutely accommodating couldn't have asked for a better stay. It was stocked with everything we needed plus extras little snacks and things. I told her that I was bringing my girlfriend down for her 40th birthday and really wanted to make it special for her. Danielle went out of her way and printed pictures of us and had them in frames throughout the boathouse. She also wrote a nice note saying Happy 40th birthday on the chalkboard and had a little happy birthday decoration along with getting her a little cupcake cake thing. She was absolutely surprised and loved every bit of it so I just want to thank Danielle and her husband and I would recommend this to anyone and everyone thank you very much.

The perfect glamping getaway
When I say I loved this place, I mean that I asked my husband if we could buy something similar someday. It's so quaint, thoughtfully decorated and appointed. The husband and wife duo who own the rental and the marina it sits in are helpful, accessible, and welcoming. We will 100% be coming back!

My New Happy Place
This little houseboat is as magical as everyone says it is. The energy is calming and the sounds of nature and a far off train make it the perfect spot for reflection, healing, and absolute joy. As someone with a lot of stomach issues, I was a little worried about the bathroom situation,(#2 is done in the fancy bathroom not on the boat) but it was a very short few steps away from the dock and no problem at all. Danielle and Mike are amazing, sweet, kind and very quick to respond. I already miss my time here and cannot wait to return, thank you for sharing this piece of your paradise with us.

Peaceful getaway in the heart of a natural preserve
An absolute peaceful and relaxing gem tucked into an inlet off the ocean that is home to all kinds of birds, fish and sea life. During the day we kayaked to the private beach where we sunbathed and caught hermit crabs, visited Mystic Aquarium, and explored local ocean towns and shops. In the evening we dined at the wonderful local little restaurants, ate smores by the fire and fished off the back of the house boat. The boat was super cozy, very comfortable and was stocked with everything we needed! This was a fantastic opportunity to put out busy lives on hold and reconnect as a family!

Fun experience
Houseboat was amazing! Very cozy and yet well appointed with everything you need to enjoy your stay. Sitting on the dock with a drink in hand watching the birds and boats was so relaxing!!! Kayaking to a private beach was so fun!

Anniversary
We wanted a quick night away to celebrate our wedding anniversary but wanted a unique experience. We found it here at the River Rat Resort. The house boat was charming, clean & had everything we needed. Hosts were amazing! They were responsive, offering help. They knew of our celebration and made sure to acknowledge with a cupcake left for us in the refrigerator 💕. Will definitely be back for a longer stay. This was perfect!
