Unique stay. Great host. 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!

Very convenient location to Richmond but far enough away to be quiet and cozy. The boat is wonderfully decorated and the view of the river is wonderful. Captain Ron is a lovely and very helpful host!

Excellent Place To Stay

Had a wonderful, relaxing time. 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.

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.

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!

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.
