Georgetown, Maine
The Nancy Lou is our newest moored houseboat for rent (three night minimum) to experience the peace, beauty and wonder of life on the water in Riggs Cove, Georgetown, Maine.
The Nancy Lou has a roof top deck (Sun Deck) for you to relax and enjoy the surroundings as well as accommodations for five. The private forward bedroom (cabin) features a queen sized bed with doors forward to the front deck and aft to the kitchen (galley) and bathroom (head). The salon area converts to sleep two, and the settee pulls out for one.
A walk-in shower and on-demand hot water, a three burner stove with oven, a refrigerator, and a small propane grill. Birthday, anniversary, honeymoon, kid's science project Just hangin' out on the mooring, exploring the coves in the skiff, paddling kayaks (two on board), watching boats, watching nature and being one with the sea. All the comforts of home are on Nancy Lou. Experience a getaway you won't forget, and, best of all, no boating experience required.
We enjoyed our time on Nancy Lou! Pure relaxation! Just what we needed from our busy lives. We plan on returning next summer. A huge thank you to Jessie, Jimmy and Dave!
We had a wonderful few days on the Nancy Lou. I would equate it to glamping with all the conveniences. The accommodations were great. The master bed was very comfortable and my kids (19, 19, and 21) said the living room beds were decent as well. I would say the full bed was a little too small for two 19-year olds to share, but for smaller kids it would be fine. The kitchen is compact but had everything I needed to cook our breakfasts and dinners. There is also a small grill to use. The fridge and freezer are small but perfect for what we needed for four days. Like everything else, the bathroom is small yet efficient. It was interesting to learn how it all worked and we had no problems with the water supply even though there were 5 adults showering. We did switch to the second tank on the last day. The electric lights all worked great too - we played many board games in the evening. The best part, though, is the roof deck. When we weren’t exploring the cove in the water bug or kayaks, we were up reading a book on the roof deck in comfy lounge chairs. Everyone at Riggs Cove was very friendly and helpful and gave us a lot of information on local places to visit. They even checked in on us on day 2 to make sure we had everything we needed. Finally, we did not have the best of weather but we still had an awesome time so don’t worry if your forecast isn’t perfect. We even weathered a massive overnight thunder and lightning storm with torrential rain and the Nancy Lou barely rocked.
This getaway was just the thing my husband and I needed. Everything was perfect. Jimmy was SO accommodating and helpful. He even drove by and dropped off some bug spray for us because we for got to buy some! He gave great recommendations on things to do (Beal Island - beautiful little island we kayaked over to) as well as food recommendations. Do NOT skip out on the Osprey! Thank you Nancy Lou & co for a wonderful few days!
The Nancy Lou was fabulous. There was plenty of room, the skiff was great fun and we enjoyed using the kayaks. Everyone at the marina was friendly and helpful. Jessie told us everything we needed to know and was vcery friendly.
Our first time on a houseboat and it wont be our last! Amazing location in the harbor with seals, eagles, ospreys all around, lobster boats every morning and beautiful sailboats. Jimmy helped us to our boat and gave us information about the area and assisted us with any questions/concerns we had. The boat was comfortable and had all the linens, cooking items, you could need. Didnt look as clean as I would have liked especially with covid, but I brought lysol wipes which helped. The boat came with 2 kayaks which were perfect to explore the area - our daughter loved them! The littlewaterbug boat was perfect to go back and forth from the marina and exploring the harbor. Would highly recommend this houseboat for a couple or a family of 3. No better way to fall asleep than to the gentle rocking of the boat on the waves and nothing beats waking up to an amazing sunrise and the sounds of nature. The roof deck was a great place for a nap and watching the sunset with a glass of wine. We loved every minute of it and cant wait to go back! Thank you to Jesse and Jimmy!
The Nancy Lou was by far our most unique rental. We had so much fun and the boat came with everything we needed other than our groceries and clothes. Staff was fantastic! We will definitely be back with the family as our teenage kids would have loved this.
I have always wanted to stay on a houseboat and decided to do this for my birthday! We had a terrific time! The boat was well equipped with linens and towels dishes and cooking pots and pans. It was a thrill to wake up with water all around you! There were two kayaks on board and we throughly enjoyed paddling each day! Only regret we should have stayed a week!!!!!! Great fun and a great host Jimmy got us settled! A must experience !
I don't even know where to begin! This was my husband and my first time to Maine. Since I was a little girl I have dreamt of seeing that rocky shoreline and beautiful terrain! We spent six way too short nights in Maine for our 30th anniversary and let me tell you...it did not disappoint! What a beautiful state! Three of those nights we spent on the amazing Nancy Lou! Hands down one of the best experiences of our lives! What an adventure! We love the outdoors and this boat puts you smack in the middle of it all! So much provided! The views alone were worth every penny! The boat was spotless and had everything we needed! The kayaks were so much fun and we were blessed with amazing weather! The water bug provided was not just convenient, but a blast! Seeing all the gorgeous boats was a feast for the eyes! Not something we see in East Texas for sure! A huge thanks to Jimmy at Riggs! He was so kind and extremely helpful! He went out of his way to make us feel at home. It was so cool to hear about his experiences living in Maine. He even found us fresh lobster for so cheap and brought it out to our boat! These three days on the Nancy Lou went by way too quickly! I literally cried when we left! My husband and I promised each other that we will return next summer! DO NOT HESITATE ON THIS RENTAL! Just don't snag it when we want it next year!!! Thanks Jimmy and everyone at Riggs!!
The Nancy Lou offers a unique Maine experience in a beautiful cover. Ample and comfortable internal space for a couple—well equipped for meal prep with a small grill, stove and oven. The roof top deck is a real plus for watching the sun come up, or go down. Was a favorite place to chill. Didn’t use the kayaks but would if a future stay was longer. The marina and staff are wonderful. Made for a lovely fall get away.
Everything was better than Advertised. Your Dock Crew were Helpful, Friendly and Knowledgeable. Doug was very informative and great with training use of everything. The Skiff was a pleasant little Cove Touring Boat. There was a minor Problem with Charging USB Devices, Cell Phones, Computers, and iwatches. The only charger port that worked 100% was the USB port in the Berthing Area, no big deal. Recommend Bringing a Solar Charger. All Hotel Services (Appliances and Power) worked well, particularly the gas heat. Highly commendable Dock Staff (tall girl with curly hair) retrieved my wife's possessions twice from the Public Showers/Bathroom. One of those possessions was her purse (Thanks Again So Much) Overall- Very Excellent Vacation could have stayed longer. Intend to comeback next year. Wonderful Weather too.
