What’s one of the first things that comes to mind when someone says Pittsburgh? The Steelers? The incredible skyline? Or, the Allegheny, the Ohio, and the Monongahela Rivers? Pittsburgh and the Three Rivers are pretty much synonymous, right? And, if you’ve never fallen asleep under a starry sky as one of those rivers gently rocks you to sleep, you’re in for a real treat when you reserve a night or two aboard this charming houseboat near Pittsburgh.

Embark on a relaxing getaway when you board this charming houseboat, docked on the Monongahela River in Elizabeth, about a half an hour from downtown Pittsburgh.

Airbnb/Houseboat

The charming houseboat, an Airbnb hosted by Gabriel, comfortably sleeps two guests in its one bedroom. (However, the one bedroom has two beds.)

Of course, being on a boat might give you the urge to explore the river. Request a boat tour during your stay.

And, if you prefer remaining on the boat at the private dock, relax on the deck where you can watch other boats meander down the river or simply close your eyes and listen to the sounds of nature.

Then, at the end of the evening, curl up in one of the two comfy beds in the houseboat. Turn on the houseboat’s radio. Or, just listen to the nighttime sounds on the river as you fall asleep.
