About this property
Riverfront Home on the Ohio River, Private Dock, Hot Tub, Sleeps 8
Sitting on the Ohio River in Prospect with a private dock, hot tub, and open river views, this three-bedroom home is built for groups and families who want to be on the water without sacrificing comfort. The bridge lights reflecting off the river at night, mornings on the deck with coffee, evenings around the fire pit while something is on the grill — it is the kind of place that fills up a weekend without any effort.
The home spans two levels with an open layout oriented toward the water. Two queen bedrooms, the main living area, kitchen, and dining space are on the main level. A third queen bedroom, the family room, and a full bathroom are on the lower level, which opens directly to the dock and river. A temperature-controlled sunroom sits between the living areas and the outdoors, comfortable in every season.
The main level is open and easy to move around. The living area has comfortable seating and a smart TV, with a queen sofa bed for additional sleeping flexibility. The kitchen is fully equipped with new appliances, cooking basics, and everything needed for a full group meal.
On the lower level, the third bedroom and family room with a fold-out couch give the group a second hangout space or overflow sleeping area. The lower level bathroom with a shower is right there for guests coming in from the dock.
The outdoor setup is the centerpiece of the property. The private dock gives you direct Ohio River access for boats, fishing, or simply sitting and watching the water. The hot tub is positioned with open river views and runs year-round. The fire pit and outdoor grill are set up for evening use, and the deck and balcony give the full group room to spread out. Seating for ten keeps everyone together when the group is all outside.
Guests who bring boats should be aware that the river is an active wake zone. A spring line is recommended when docking.
The home also has in-unit washer and dryer, multiple smart TVs, and a dedicated office space. The property is pet friendly with a $150 per pet per stay fee. Quiet hours are from 11pm to 8am. Shoes off inside. No fireworks.
Located in a quiet residential stretch of Prospect directly on the Ohio River, with Louisville just minutes away. Restaurants, shopping, and conveniences are nearby while the property itself feels removed from everything. Easy highway access when you need it.
This is the kind of stay where the group never runs out of things to do or places to be. The water handles most of it.
Our prices include all fees. No hidden fees.

Check in was easy. Host was very accommodating to our flight schedule. Bathroom and bedrooms were very clean and well decorated. The sun porch and hot tub were definitely our favorite spots to relax and enjoy the view. Downstairs is a perfect private space.
House was clean and comfortable and had everything we needed. We cannot say enough about the sunroom on the back of the house overlooking the river. We sat out there and read every day, did a puzzle out there, and ate our meals out there. View is fantastic and so relaxing. Be careful driving near the house in the evening and a night -- lots of deer in the area. It was an easy drive along the river to get into Louisville and only about 20 minutes away. Grocery store was very close by. Communication with host also was great. We really enjoyed our stay!
House was beautiful and being right on the river was amazing. Very clean! Excellent communication with the host as well! Would definitely stay here again!
Perfect cozy home with a beautiful view. Kari was a great host! Celebrated Christmas early with family and this was our half way point. It was the best!!!
Very nice place right on the river. Myself and 5 other guys stayed here for a golf trip weekend and was in perfect location to golf courses and other attractions. Owner replied almost instantly if we needed anything, which is a very comforting feeling. Overall great experience and would stay here again.
Was a good place to stay. Check-in was easy. The kitchen was nice enough.

We appreciated having you.
That's a bit disheartening for a brand new kitchen with all new appliances. I would appreciate any feedback to make the kitchen better.
This was a wonderful space for our family of four. We had our own space and plenty of spaces to do things together. My son spent most of his time on the dock and the rest of us spent most of our time in the fantastic sun room!! Everything was very clean, perfect temps (rooms and hot tub!!) and accessible. The kitchen had everything we needed. This host made a quick getaway feel like we were at home the whole time.
This is the kind of home I always look for when I travel, but rarely find. I like a lot of ventilation and a peaceful, picturesque location. This house checked those boxes and is definitely in my list of favorite spots where I've stayed. Staying here helped my trip feel less like just a trip and more like a vacation.
Perfect spot on the river, beautiful views. The house is updated and looks just like the pictures. Kari was kind, helpful, and very easy to get ahold of. We had a great weekend! We will look at booking this place again
This home has it all and I slept in the sunroom on the porch couch just to watch and hear the river traffic, and that was the best rest ever and can’t wait to go back. It’s got river features that come with the territory but look past that and you too will enjoy every minute here in paradise.
House was clean, easy to access. Provided the perfect stay for a group of friends spending the weekend catching up. The view from the back porch is amazing! Would definitely stay again.
