Floating stationary river boat! Custom design!
About this condo rental
Nestled in East Dubuque, this charming condo for RĀ 6,465 per night is a great choice for your next break. Come stay at our floating oasis on the backwaters of the Mississippi river! This 70 foot houseboat is newly remodeled and ready for you and your guests. It features a custom kitchen, a master bedroom with a full bed and a tv, a bunkhouse room with a full bed, and a basement bedroom with 2 full beds. The living room has a trundle couch that turns into a king-size bed. We also have a full size air mattress. The boat is located at Millennium Marina. You will have to walk on a dock to get to the boat. Things are a little different than a typical "home", but its super fun! The roof may NOT be accessible at all times of the year (like when it is super cold, raining, or snowing). If there is ANY snow at all, we ask you DO NOT go on the roof, as it can be dangerous. NO EVENTS OR PARTIES ALLOWED AT THIS TIME. We provide a coffee maker, toaster, stove, oven, and other kitchen items. We also provide one towel per person, and all bed linens (sheets and one cotton blanket per bed). The 70 ft roof is equipped with a bar and outdoor furniture. Remember, you are DIRECTLY on water, so you WILL see bugs and other wildlife. We also have boat slips available by the night or by the week. One uncovered slip is provided with your rental. We provide a coffee maker, toaster, stove, oven, and other kitchen items. We also have boat slips available by the night or by the week. One uncovered slip is provided with your rental. PLEASE NOTE: we have no control of the river levels. This means that sometimes swimming is not possible because the water will be so low. This includes not being able to use the slide. Also, sometimes you cannot get your boat into our marina due to low water. If you plan on bringing a boat, please ask us if the water is deep enough. If you would like more details on how to check the river level, please message us. Kayak rentals available from the restaurant on property, when they are in season. You get one free hour kayak rental for all registered guests (you can always ask about your specific time if interested in kayaks). Please ask about current restaurant hours if this amenity is important for you. PLEASE NOTE- We are located on the Mississippi and WE DO FLOOD. We might have to cancel the reservation if flooding is in the forecast. The cabin will stay in the water year round! SWIMMING NOT ADVISED unless you understand the river and swim at your own risk. Ask us about Pack-n-Play availability! 2 ski resorts are only a short drive away! We are located directly on the river, so at night you might see some bugs. This is a steel bottom houseboat so you might hear the water hitting the sides. Again, this boat does NOT move. PLEASE NOTE- We are located on the Mississippi and WE DO FLOOD. We might have to cancel the reservation if flooding is in the forecast. ALSO NOTE- With the boat being directly on the water, there are sometimes bugs. Not inside the boat, but yes you WILL see them outside. We do clean it thoroughly, but they pop up. No parties or events allowed. Quiet time is 10 PM. Please respect our neighbors. SWIMMING IS 100% AT YOUR OWN RISK.

Seriously such a fun place to hang out for girls weekend! We had a blast and enjoyed that there was a bar onsite in case we wanted to go (which we did š) Water was too shallow for slide which was probably a good thing so we just tied tubes to the boat to float or just plopped chairs down in the water. ONLY down fall was it had a sewer smell to it when we first walked in but by the end of the weekend, we didnāt even notice (or we just got use to it) we definitely want to come back though!

This rental is in a great location - quick drive to Dubuque across the bridge, but also seems like it's so far away from a city! So peaceful on the backwaters of the Mississippi. We thoroughly enjoyed sitting on the top deck of the houseboat and watching wildlife along the river. The AC and full kitchen made this an awesome get away!

Annual gathering
Very enjoyable time on the boat. Well appointed and clean. Hosts were very accommodating. Great layout for playing cards/games. The upper deck is also wonderful. Weāll be back.

Great location outside of but close to Dubuque. Place had some quirky aspects such as a shower that leaked onto the floor, no ability to lock the boat when you left and thin walls. However, the view, the cute layout and the upper deck more than made up for these idiosyncrasies.

Living the dream.
Lovely experience on a houseboat. So much better than being in a motel room. We are already planning on another stay next year.

Clarke Graduation Weekend
A fun and unique place with plenty of space for all of us to enjoy being together for our daughter's graduation weekend. We played cards on upper deck, watched a couple movies in the shared area, comfortable beds for sleeping, and plenty of parking as we were coming from 5 different locations. The Millennium Bar and Grill located next door was a fun bonus with awesome food. On us... but we should have managed the hot water better as were all trying to get ready for the graduation ceremony at the same time. Definitely hope stay here again when we have more time to enjoy the whole experience!!!

Samantha and Ryan were very easy to rent from. They responded to questions quickly.
This is such a fun, unique property to rent. We will definitely rent this again. The closeness to the Millennium Marina Restaurant is a huge bonus as well. Food is delicious and the staff is excellent. Overall we had an awesome weekend!

We thoroughly enjoyed this unique stay. I didn't realize there was a restaurant right next to it. The food was amazing and as unique as the houseboat. The owners were so friendly and helpful. They even brought us champagne and oj for mimosas. We will be back.

Needed a place during Covid to escape the city and stay socially distanced. The novelty of a houseboat over a hotel was also very appealing. Super cute design and a well appointed kitchen. Come prepared to snuggle up with the one you love - or in a nice warm robe - in the winter months. Hosts were lovely and very accommodating.
