About this space
You won’t forget your time in this romantic, memorable place! Come float on our well cared for 2003 Gibson Classic - a hybrid cross between a houseboat and a cabin cruiser - located on Sue Creek! Steps away from your slip is the Charley's Lawns where you can chill in Adirondack chairs or play outdoor games...cornhole, basketball, ladder toss, tetherball, mini golf, etc! Charley's Waterfront restaurant has both indoor & outdoor dining with lots of TV's to catch your favorite sports teams!

The space
This home adopted a Przewalski's Horse - Travel with Purpose when you stay with us and assist in global efforts to help save this beautiful species!

As you enter the boat thru the slider door you will walk into the living room with bar height counter & two stools along with an L-shaped couch. Take a few stairs down to the middle of the boat to the high ceiling dining and well outfitted kitchen space that includes booth like dining table. SmartTV mounted on wall with view from both kitchen and living rooms. Continue to the back of the boat where your bedroom with Double size bed, closet and bathroom is located!
Windows throughout with blinds that retract to let in all the natural light you desire OR lower whatever you choose for privacy!
BONUS - The roof top deck is the perfect place to retreat to be outside to catch some fresh air or enjoying live music that may be playing on Charley's Lawns.
Bathhouse on-land is located steps away from your slip with spacious private tile shower, toilet and sink!
Guest access
You have access to everything on the boat with the exception of engine room & locked owner's closets. Boat will remain at slip while guest occupied. The dinghy is not part of the rental.

Stay connected while you float with WiFi access on-board!

The boat is parked at The Baltimore Boating Center full of tons of outdoor amenities, bath houses, Charly's Waterfront onsite restaurant with craft brews at Diamondback Brewery, membership options with Freedom Boat Club, paddleboarding with B'more SUP, book a private charter....the FUN never stops!

The houseboat is cozy and comfortable. It was very clean upon our arrival. No problem joining the WiFi or watching the TV, but we mostly listened to the local radio station that was on when we arrived. The host is awesome- very communicative and friendly. Her instructions were very clear and she was responsive to messages from the time we booked till we left. With the restaurant, games and outdoor areas we didn’t even need to leave the marina except for some minor grocery items to have on hand. There’s a business district within minutes that offers a little bit of everything. Overall great weekend!
