Available this spring. The ELIZABETH CLEMENTINE Dear future guests,. I will admit there is no completely safe place to spend your time, but if you must get away please do it where the air flows free up and down a river or across farmer's fields or through a nearby forest if possible; areas similar to the one where all three of my boats are berthed. We are blessed to be in a very unique country setting near the beautifully renovated Lily Pad Cafe; the only true outdoor riverside eatery in the Richmond area. Here you will find what I believe is a safe place to hike, bike or run on nearby county roads in National Parks, or on the VIRGINIA CAPITOL TRAIL. Or you could just choose to read, paint, write, fish, sun, or work "from home" by using our internet service You will also find a great deal of personal space and solitude which will become immediately apparent as you drive down either of our three first highways in the entire United States of America: Osborne Turnpike, old route #5, or Kingsland Road before you get to experience America's first river; the James. The GiaMaria and the Cookie B are berthed in very calm waters and are Indeed, awesome places to spend your time. They are in fact, places like no other in the entire United States, and I will make an honest attempt to back up this statement in the description that follows given the few words that are allowed. As for the GiaMaria, she is a 50' Chris Craft houseboat that has been completely remodeled inside and out in order to give our guests a home-like atmosphere without losing the feel of being on an old riverboat. It is modern in every sense of the word. It has been reconstructed to have a large bathroom with a full sized vanity, a 4' designer shower, ventilator fans, and its own USCG certified sanitation system. It comes complete with a queen eleven inch memory foam mattress (Sleep Innovations) and high quality bedding, a small but complete galley and a large colorful salon with carpeted floors a 46" TV, and a fireplace to keep you warm and cozy. Outside you will find a large open upper deck with great views for morning coffee or evening drinks and a lower covered bow deck. The Cookie B is equally as nice, however character limitations in this space do not allow such an elaborate description if I am to describe this unique area where these vessels are docked. But you can find the Cookie B's unique listing here on Homeaway as well. But it is not just the GiaMaria or the Cookie B that you will enjoy. It is also there unique location. The Richmond Yacht Basin is less than 10 country road miles from downtown Richmond. And their setting cannot be duplicated. It is adjacent to the Richmond National Battlefield Park and well kept privately owned farms. Just one mile away is Osborne Landing, a county owned facility which has a nice fishing pier, a Bass Master's boat launch, a nice walking trail along the river's edge, a canoe and kayak launch ramp, pavilions for picnics/cookouts, bathrooms and a wonderful playground for kids. It is always kept in tip-top shape, and it is all free to the public. After a beautiful canopied drive which will take you to the marina, you will find yourself standing on the ground where so many famous people lived and events took place that shaped our nation's history. Some of the historical people who lived in the nearby Indian settlement of Arrohateck included Chief Powhatan's son, Tanx or (Parahunt) and Pocahontas his daughter, who married her English born husband John Rolfe. Pocahontas and John Rolfe after marriage made their home on this property, and with the help of indentured servants and later African slaves, they helped to save Jamestown by producing tobacco from the "Varina" seed. It was the only "gold" that those early colonists would find, yet it would have tremendous economic value in many European countries and save the colony from being abandoned.. We are also located where Captain John Smith found his "sweetest water" during his early explorations, while others like, George Washington, Patrick Henry, Abraham Lincoln, Robert E. Lee and his mother, Anne Hill Carter, John Marshall, 4th Chief Justice of the Supreme Court, Susannah Bowling, Layfayette, Benedict Arnold, Gen. Cornwallis and thousand of bound African slaves passed thru this oxbow in the James River on their way to build and transform our nation. Battles on land and in the river were fought here too, during both the Revolutionary War and the Civil War. During the Revolutionary War, Benedict Arnold sank our Colonial Fleet within eyesight of the GiaMaria and the Cookie B before burning Richmond. Union Ironclads like the Monitor and Galena fought other Ironclads like the Confederate's CSS Virginia while trying to pass Drewery's Bluff, the confederate's "Annapolis" while trying to subdue Richmond. And Just around the river's bend east of Richmond Yacht Basin is Henricus, the London Company's second settlement after Jamestown in the New World. Unfortunately the original "cittie" was destroyed by Opechancanough, Chief Powhatan's successor "brother" during the Indian Massacre of 1622\. Today however, Henricus is a thriving reconstruction of what it was like in the days of Sir Thomas Dale's early 1600's "town", and many of my guests who have visited there say it is on par with Jamestown. Just down the road heading east along Route 5 (a Virginia Bi-Way) are plantations like Shirley, still owned and operated by the same family since its beginning in the 1600's and Berkley, where Taps was first composed and played, and also where the first Thanksgiving was arguably held. There is also Westover, the home of President William Henry Harrison (Ole' Tippecanoe), Sherwood Forrest, the home of "His Accidency", President John Tyler, and Evergreen, the birthplace of Edmund Ruffin, who is the father of modern agriculture and the southern firebrand who is credited with firing the shot that started the Civil War. These are just a few of the historical places or attractions to be found within a few minutes of the docking space of the GiaMaria or the Cookie B. Then going west on Route 5 into Richmond you will find St. John's Episcopal Church where Patrick Henry told the King of England, to go to hell, or Hollywood Cemetery where a great many historical figures are buried like the Presidents Monroe and Tyler. Within minutes if you are a Civil War buff, then you are in luck because you will be set squarely in the middle of where the Battle of the Crater took place, as did Cold Harbor, Malvern Hill, White Oak Swamp, Deep Bottom, Chaffin's Farm, Pamplin Historical Park and City Point (Gen. Grants headquarters during the siege of Petersburg) and many other well known and not so well known battle sites and fortifications. Much about our old and dusty beginnings causes us to be proud, but at the same time ashamed. However, because of the lessons learned from our past, the Richmond area today has become a bright and shiny place which is set like Rome on seven hills. Here you will find many and varied museums or river rapids for those brave enough to take the plunge, sports events of every kind, major universities and hospitals like Virginia Commonwealth University's Medical College of Virginia, world class car races at Richmond International Raceway and cycling (the UCI world championship 2015), as well as the Richmond Marathon (rated the 18th largest in the nation). There are also restaurants galore from local favorites to world class dining. Richmond is fast becoming a gourmets delight and the Craft Brewery Capital of the South. Chic shopping districts like Carytown, River Road, Short Pump or Stoney Point are all within a short distance, as are outlet malls and several large shopping centers. Watersports and tours of many kinds are offered in several nearby places. Major garden tours (voted one of the best in the country) like Lewis-Ginter Botanical Gardens or Maymont Park as well as national, state and local parks are all within minutes of the GiaMaria. And in one to two hours by car you can be in the Blue Ridge Mountains or Charlottesville or Virginia Beach or Washington, DC, or Williamsburg or Jamestown, or Yorktown, or Petersburg, or Kings Dominion, or Busch Gardens, and several major outlet malls. We even now enjoy the Virginia Capital Trail. It is a cycling/walking, running hard surfaced path of 52 miles that links Richmond, the Capital of Virginia, and the Colonial Capitals of Williamsburg and Jamestown. And all of this is only a sampling of what you will find within a stones throw of either vessel. The area though is also a wildlife lover's delight. There are many native species of plants and animals such as rare Lady Slippers, Bald Eagles, ancient swamps of Cypress and Junipers, Running Cedar, and Song Birds galore. There are Foxes, both red and silver, and occasional bobcats, beavers and otters. We are also a flyway for many species of creatures, such as Butterflies, Purple Martins, Ducks, Geese, Humming Birds, Robins, Northern Bald Eagles. Fish such as Striped Bass, American and Hickory Shad and American Eels spawn here in the spring. And in the fall, ancient Sturgeons weighing more than 500 pounds can be seen jumping out of the water. As for fishing, we have both Large and Small Mouth Bass, several species of Catfish, record sized Crappie and several local guides will guarantee that you will catch a catfish of 40 pounds or more during late fall and throughout the winter. But if dancing is your thing, then the Tobacco Company is just down the road where you can party late into the night. ## Commodités de l’hébergement ### Plage - Sur la plage ### Internet - Disponible dans l’hébergement : Wi-Fi ### Stationnement et transport - Voiture recommandée - Stationnement sur place ### Cuisine - Batterie de cuisine, vaisselle et couverts - Bouilloire électrique - Cafetière-théière - Épices - Four - Four à micro-ondes - Grille-pain - Réfrigérateur - Surface de cuisson ### Chambres - Canapé-lit - Chambre - Draps fournis - Matelas en mousse à mémoire de forme ### Salle de bain - 1 salle de bain - Douche - Papier de toilette - Savon - Séchoir à cheveux - Serviettes fournies - Shampooing ### Lieux de séjour - Foyer - Salle de séjour ### Divertissement - Chaîne audio - Livres - Téléviseur ### Espaces extérieurs - Barbecue - Meubles extérieurs - Patio ### Buanderie - Installations de buanderie - Laveuse ### Confort - Chauffage - Climatisation ### Animaux de compagnie - Animaux de compagnie acceptés ### Accessibilité - Hébergement non-fumeurs ### Services et commodités - Coffre-fort - Fer et planche à repasser ### Points d’intérêt de l’endroit - À proximité d’un centre de magasins d’usine - À proximité d’un port de plaisance - À proximité d’une rivière - Au centre-ville - Dans les montagnes - Dans un village - En zone rurale - Hôpital à proximité - Sur la rive - Zoo à proximité ### Activités - Bateau - Kayak - Baignade à proximité - Basketball à proximité - Chasse à proximité - Cyclisme à proximité - Descente en eau vive à proximité - Écotourisme à proximité - Équitation à proximité - Glissade sur chambre à air aquatique à proximité - Golf à proximité - Motomarine à proximité - Observation d’oiseaux à proximité - Parc d’attractions à proximité - Patinage sur glace à proximité - Pêche à proximité - Sentiers de randonnée ou de vélo à proximité - Ski nautique à proximité - Visites de vignobles à proximité - Voile à proximité ### Dispositifs de sécurité - Présence d’un détecteur de monoxyde de carbone non signalée (L’hôte n’a pas indiqué s’il y avait un détecteur de monoxyde de carbone dans l’hébergement; envisagez d’apporter un détecteur portable.) - Présence d’un détecteur de fumée non signalée (L’hôte n’a pas indiqué s’il y avait un détecteur de fumée dans l’hébergement.) ### Information générale - Taille de l’unité : 350 pieds carrés ## Hébergements similaires ![Hall](https://images.trvl-media.com/lodging/27000000/26840000/26832100/26832035/4bcf03c2.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=469&h=201&p=1&q=medium) ### A Cozy And Classic Hatteras 43' Yacht In One Of The Best James River Locations Richmond - Cuisine - Laveuse - Sécheuse - Animaux de compagnie acceptés 9,6 Exceptionnel 113 avis 159 $ CA 296 $ CA au total (taxes et frais compris) Du 22 janv. au 23 janv.

Séjour de 1 nuit en octobre 2025 ### 10/10 – Excellent #### Mandy B. 9 oct. 2025 Points forts : Propreté Captain Ron met us to check in. Very nice and helpful. The boat is docked in a private, peaceful area. You can hear some distant traffic noise and occasional faint train, but otherwise very quiet. The boat is older, with ongoing repairs and painting, but was clean and cozy. Has a large, full shower with hot water and a toilet that is similar to RV toilets. At the top of the dock is a building with full bathrooms and "regular" flushing toilets, as well as laundry facilities. The kitchen is equipped well with appliances and dishes. We enjoyed sitting on the upper deck, watching the fish jump and enjoying the river view. A few people live in the neighboring boats, but everyone was extremely nice. If you are adventurous type, that enjoys outdoor/camping/"roughing it" experiences, this houseboat is a great choice. ##### Mandy B.

He met us at the boat for a late check-in ensuring we were settled without questions before leaving. The boat is at a quiet marina with the beauty of nature all around. Very safe and peaceful. ##### Edna Z. Séjour de 3 nuits en septembre 2025 ### 10/10 – Excellent #### Johanna W. 29 sept. 2025 Points forts : Propreté Completely LOVED this houseboat.

Would not recommend for folks challenged with walking up steep hills. Great sunset. Enjoyable on the water eateries. Typical challenges of living on a boat! ##### Alyson S. Séjour de 1 nuit en juillet 2025 ### 2/10 – Terrible #### Michelle A. 21 juill. 2025 Points faibles : Propreté Ron was amazing with communicating before and during our stay. The houseboat was a bit disappointing though. Im all for roughing it, but this was beyond that. Many things need to be fixed, particularly the leak in the roof, it had been raining the day of our check in and the whole boat smelled musty. I thought we would give it a shot. I woke the next morning with a terrible migraine and we had to leave. I spoke with the owner Ron about this and the things I was concerned about. He told me he would reimburse me for the 2 nights we didn’t stay. Now it’s 3 weeks lasted and when I sent Ron a message about not receiving a reimbursement, he stated he could t recall who I was or the situation. Please be careful folks! ##### Michelle A. Séjour de 3 nuits en juillet 2025 ### 2/10 – Terrible #### BONNIE T. 15 juill. 2025 Points faibles : Propreté #### Fourth of July travelers We did not stay. The vessel was in disrepair with leaks and the odor of mildew/mold,That’s all I’m gonna say and just please give truthful reviews. The pictures on the website are from 10 to 15 years ago. I do not recommend at all. The owner attempted to give me another rental, which was in the same disrepair. I do not recommend at all. ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/ea5a2037-d84b-4fc4-9915-b4a38ea2703d-1752596778244.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/260a4715-7f0f-43e6-b8fe-a8713197dbdc-1752596779158.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/baa5e983-5fb6-45dd-ab1d-1c621627e8e9-1752596779107.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/75887935-ef2d-435e-9e3f-d26b2d1588b2-1752596844900.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ##### BONNIE T.

Séjour de 2 nuits en juin 2025 ### 8/10 – Bien #### Marian E., Stony Brook 26 mai 2025 Points forts : Propreté #### Relaxing on the River Spending a couple of days on a houseboat moored in the James River is an ideal way to explore the rich history of Richmond, VA. Captain Ron is indeed a local treasure and is as willing to share his extensive knowledge as he is to offer these unique maritime accommodations to his guests. It is especially nice when a host is so conversant about the history of the area (having written several historical memoirs) and is also willing to offer recommendations on locales to visit (including the current Frida Kahlo exhibition at VFMA). The houseboat Cookie B itself is a quiet, rustic spot to pass relaxing hours - sitting on the bow, watching birds soar over the river to the nature preserve across the water is a great way to start or to end the day. The boat’s location in a local marina makes it easy to access by car; historical sites and battlefields are short drives away. All in all, a few days on a houseboat in the spring make for a tranquil and enjoyable mini-vacation in Richmond. ##### Marian E.

The boat is wonderfully decorated and the view of the river is wonderful. Captain Ron is a lovely and very helpful host! ##### Katelyn H.

The Gia Maria is an old-fashioned charmer dripping with character. Worn-in and comfortable, my wife and I loved it. Very peaceful on the river. Would have stayed longer if our travel itinerary allowed. Would love to stay again. Captain Ron is a friendly and lovely host. ##### Pat B.

Séjour de 2 nuits en avril 2025 ### 10/10 – Excellent #### Jessica C. 20 avr. 2025 Points forts : Propreté #### Experience like no other We were looking for something unique to do for our first wedding anniversary, when we came across the house boat. Captain Ron met us at the boat to show us around and explain how things worked. We took him up on his suggestions for places to visit and places to eat, I loved how dog friendly the Lily Pad was. Ellie, our French bulldog even had her own little menu. The donut shop is a must try too, definitely worth it. We got to experience a storm on the river and it was absolutely beautiful. The river itself with the sunsets from the top deck, I took so many pictures and will be printing them out for our wall. The bed was super comfortable, I honestly got some much needed rest after spending the days exploring or just enjoying the river boat. Parking was very easy, we have nothing bad to say. Thank you Captain Ron for everything, we will definitely be back. I've been reading your book when I get a chance and am more than half way through already. ##### Jessica C.
