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! ##### Kelsey B. Stayed 1 night in Nov 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Rachel L. 14 Sept 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### 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! ##### Rachel L. Stayed 2 nights in Sep 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Rosette L. 25 May 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### 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! ##### Rosette L.

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. ##### Jennifer L.

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. ##### Jason C.
