traveler reviews for this chicago houseboat rental

Love this boatel

Review submitted: September 10, 2012   Date of arrival: July 2, 2012

My family has been coming to Chicago for many years. We've stayed at different hotels, but this was by far the most unique and fun hotel experience we've ever had in Chicago. If you're not familiar with Chicago, this is the primo marina in the Windy City, right by Soldiers Field, Shedd, Field Museum. More importantly, it is right on the paved bike/running/walking path along Lake Michigan and Lake Shore Drive...got to be one of the most beautiful city scenes in the country. So location is perfect.

The boat was great. Clean and big enough for my husband and I to enjoy each other yet not feel cramped. We cooked our breakfasts and lunches and then enjoyed dinner out.

I wish I could find this experience in every city I travel to that is on water.

You won't be disappointed.

My family cannot stop raving over our fabulous getaway find on the, “Pier Gold Boatel B & B” in Chicago! It is absolutely perfect for… a romantic escape, a family vacation, or just anyone wanting a unique place to stay while traveling to and from Chi town. The yacht is located in an absolutely prime location, at Burnham Harbor! It's super easy to find (just a quick exit off of Lake Shore Dr.)… and parking is a breeze. *Bonus - Parking is included for one vehicle! (Try finding FREE PARKING in the city!! ~ LOL) Needless to say, the harbor and “Pier Gold” are simply B-E-A-U-T-I-F-U-L…and we felt very safe! Our hostess, Mary, was friendly and accommodating. She has the boat stocked with many conveniences of home! As well, we were within walking distance of sooo many great attractions. Plus, if you like to walk, jog or bike, some of the best trails within our Country are only a stone throw away! Our family walked through Grant Park and over to Buckingham Fountain… And we even took a water taxi to Navy Pier… What a blast! However, had we just stayed on “Pier Gold” for our entire visit, we would've been completely satisfied. As, the yacht truly has all that you need for a fabulous getaway! Our group was in awe of the beautiful skyline views while sitting upon Pier Gold’s deck. Our boys and my husband, thought that it was “too cool” that Soldier Field was right outside our door! The entire family found the boat to be extremely comfortable… no one wanted to leave! I'll admit that it may cost more than a typical hotel room. Although, we were able to justify the cost difference for all that is provided; such as the amenities, location, convenience and the unbelievable views! I could go on and on about why you need to book your next stay at the “Pier Gold Boatel B & B” in Chicago… Yet, in conclusion, I would sum up our stay to being a very unique and memorable alternative to any hotel. I'm convinced that this is definitely the BEST way to see Chicago!

Recommended for: adventure seekers, age 55+, families with teenagers, girls getaway, sight seeing, tourists without a car, romantic getaway

Owners response: I thank you very much for the nice review and most of all for providing future renters an idea of what it is like to be on a B & B Boatel in Chicago, as the concept is new, and very unique. I encourage future renters to visit our website direct at which is located in our ad on this site, as our website direct is very informative as to our location and walking distance attractions as well as listing all amenities included in your stay. Of course, we do encourage longer stays of our visitors by lowering our rate more the more based upon the number of nights that you stay. Right - we do not have Motel 6 rates here of course, but we are very much in par with the nicer hotels in Chicago with our rates while offering the best location one could ask for, a different more pleasurable experience, and free parking too.
