Summer is a great time to get outside your comfort zone and try something new. That might be a new dish prepared using fresh veggies from a local farm or a visit to a place you've never been. If you are looking to take a trip then perhaps a unique stay in New Hampshire is just what you need this summer. For us, it means visiting new parts of the state we've never seen before. This summer, we've learned that there are a number of fun places to visit and things to try even within places we've been, and this houseboat in Portsmouth Harbor is just one example. If you're looking for a new way to enjoy the state, consider a stay at one of the most fabulous houseboat rentals in New Hampshire.

An overnight stay on the Vagabond Houseboat located at Badgers Island Marina is one of the most lovely ways to enjoy some classic New England houseboat rentals.

The boat, which sits on the Piscataqua River near Portsmouth Harbor, is bigger than it looks and might just have the best views of any kind of accommodation in the area.

When you first come aboard, you'll see the ample deck space outside.

This area is perfect for enjoying those New Hampshire summer breezes and watching boats go by. You'll especially love having a meal here, whether it's one you've prepared yourself or one you snagged at a local eatery.

When you step inside, you'll find an adorable living area with plenty of nautical vibes. And, for those who prefer the comforts of home, there's even a TV.

If dining outside doesn't work every night, you'll be able to enjoy the dining area inside the living space.

With two bedrooms, two bathrooms, and a pull-out queen sofa bed, you'll be surprised at just how big these houseboat rentals in New England really are.

The bedroom offers some beautiful views as well. If you're the kind of person who likes to take their time waking up in the morning, you'll have plenty of excuses to do so.

We love the idea of these New Hampshire houseboat rentals that don't require any knowledge of boating.

If you agree, you'll want to check out some dates and plan a stay!

The houseboat in Portsmouth Harbor can be booked year-round, and there's no wrong time of year to enjoy it. There's nothing quite like a houseboat rental in New Hampshire to relax and refresh you.

While you're in the area be sure to take some time to explore. This day trip to Portsmouth is one of the best quick getaways you can take in the state.
