Absolutely Amazing!

Review Submitted: 02/03/12
This home is the most wonderful place to get away. It was my mom's 57th birthday and she was born in Louisville, KY. My wife, sisters and I wanted to make it a special weekend for her. I came up with the idea to take her to see her mom, sister, brother and all the family members. I began looking for a place for me, my wife, my son, my Korean foreign exchange student, my 2 sisters and their boyfriends and my grandma. THIS WAS THE PLACE! We were so excited to walk into the most cozy home and enjoy a relaxing weekend. We had all the extended family come to "our" home for the day to celebrate my mom and we could not have been more spread out and relaxed as we were. We brought the tables from outside in and enjoyed a huge family lunch of 22 people. It was a huge blessing and this home is so gorgeous. Everything is modern and clean and it would be the perfect place for anyone to visit for the weekend, or a week long time. Not to mention the area it is located is amazing. The owner, Georgette is SO wonderful to work with and very willing to meet any need that we had. I HIGHLY, without reservation recommend this home! Thank you for such an amazing weekend and for blessing my family with such wonderful accomodations!

This was our 2nd time staying at the River Front Hideaway. Once in the winter and this time in August. Both times, the experience was great! I was worried that the property may not be available because of flooding that occurred in April 2011. But, to my delight, the house had been beautifully remodeled! It was a great retreat and we are looking forward to our visit next year!

Great 3 family vacay get~a~way

This home was perfect for our 3 family vacation. (5 adults, 9 kids) We all slept very comfortable and enjoyed the peace & quite in the early mornings and late evenings. Very clean and stocked w/any thing you may have left behind at home. The petting zoo is a short drive up the road and all the kids loved it. Don't forget to take along treats for the animals. I also suggest a trip to Schimpff's Confectionery in Jeffersonville, Indiana. (about a 20 minute drive) Can't leave out Mya, the neighborhood dog, who could play fetch for hours on end. She also kept the kiddos busy.

A Wedding Retreat - Home Away From Home

What a marvelous place! Georgetta is a fabulous person and land-owner. The incredible hard work that she performed (because of the May flood) in order to get our family into the house for our June 4, 2011 wedding was amazing. We (the Brides family) are from St. Louis and the groom is from Tennessee. When they decided to get married in Louisville, I started looking for a house that we could rent for the week. From the beginning Georgetta was accomodating. Her home on the Ohio River is in a perfect spot, far enough away from the city to feel the peace and close enough to get to the wedding on time! This is a very clean home and decorated in such a wonderful way...you really do feel like you are home. We had a bridesmaid event on Thursday evening before the wedding and then on Sunday morning after the wedding we had a brunch for those who could linger before heading back to their homes cross country. It is a wonderful place and "Peace Like A River" will definetley fill your soul! We plan to go back for perhaps a Care Group Couples Retreat...

Beautiful Home by the River

The hostess, Georgetta, will tailor her house to your every need. My wife and I have nine children and it was a perfect place to rest while in KY for family holidays. There is plenty of room for everyone, a park right across the street for the kids to play in, a beautiful dock by the river and a deck overlooking everything. Its a perfect place for a getaway, a house you will surely want to visit time and time again.

Great rental property

Review Submitted: 11/16/10
8 adults stayed at the property the first weekend of Nov. '10 for the Breeders' Cup and 7 of us wanted our own beds...not a problem. Plenty of beds and comfortable couches. The renter was very kind and attentive to our needs. If you are looking for a great place with a wonderful view of the Ohio River...this is the place. The first trip in is a bit tricky but after that very easy...30 minutes to downtown or Churchill Downs.

My family of five travelled from Nevada to Louisville to attend the funeral services of my brother. It was a sorrowful time, yet River Front Hideaway provided a place of refuge, relaxation and rest during this sad time. Other family members journeyed from California, Ohio and Tennesse for the services. Although just my immediate family stayed in the house, there was plenty of room for the 21 who attended the family fellowship following the services. The kitchen is fully equipped! The house is clean, comfortable and inviting. The soothing sounds of the river draw you outside to either the porch or the upstairs deck. Georgetta, thank you for opening your beautiful home and allowing us to share the beauty! Until we meet again,

Our second visit to the River Front Hideaway was even more enjoyable then our first. The second bathroom renovation is beautiful and sitting on the back porch on a beautiful fall day is indescribable. We want to return to enjoy each season. Thank you Georgetta!!

Wedding party on the River

7 adults and 2 children stayed very comfortably at the River Hideaway for Thanksgiving and my sister's wedding at nearby Gingerwoods. We hosted the rehearsal dinner (30 plus people) using the first floor only. The flow and seating more than accomodated the people. Spring, summer and fall weddings here would give you unlimited possibilities because of the large patio and deck space. The house is located in a quiet beautiful setting only 5 minutes from good restaurants and shopping. Adults and children of all ages will enjoy staying at the Georgetta's wonderfully accomodating river hideaway house.
