A great Fall break in Boston

This was our first visit to Boston, and we wanted to try something different. The houseboat was great. We walked like 40 miles in the 4-5 days we were there. The house boat was located in a very quiet area and the water was so peaceful. We were traveling with three kids; 8-12. We'd highly recommend!

Cozy Houseboat

Charlestown houseboat

What a gem! This little houseboat was such a fun place for my family to stay. It was cozy and the location in the marina couldn't be beat. Plenty of room for three people and two dogs (thanks for being pet-friendly!), and there was no trouble with access or noise. Clean and well-provisioned; we had everything we needed. Checking in and out was a little complicated but we managed fine, with the help of the greeter and the owner. I would recommend that, if you're planning to eat in, you bring groceries with you in a car, as the 7/11 nearby is not sufficient and there are no other options within walking distance. Come prepared and you will have a blast!
