Beautiful historic home

The home is spacious, very welcoming, historic furniture is beautiful. Kitchen has a large supply of formal glasses and plates, but we needed plastic plates and glasses to be used on the porch, and utensils for cooking and left over containers as we we did cook at home quite a bit. Great view of the Ohio River, relaxing back yard with a fire pit and a pool with a heater

Cool house, fantastic views!

Our family group of ten thoroughly it stay at this beautiful and spacious historic home! Heated pool was lovely temperature in October. Fire pit was a great location for hanging out day and night. Riverviews are stunning. While sitting at the firepit high atop the bluff where this house is situated, a bald eagle passed by at just about eye level and settled into its nest in a nearby tree! Very, very cool Just don't see that every day!! Hosts were friendly, responsive and accommodating. Would definitely recommend.

Why they chose this property

A National and State Historic Register 5-acre estate, constructed in 1923, Richlawn's original design in creative eclectic delivers a customized experience for every stay and event.

​Historic Mansion. Built in 1923 by industry magnate RM Barker, the majestic home has been a fixture in the Carrolton community for generations. The high pitched roof is a gothic feature, the stucco façade and tile roof, Mediterranean. The over 7,000 square foot mansion consists of 5 bedrooms, and 4.5 baths and features an elegant dining room, great room, and a 40ft solarium overlooking the active Ohio river.

​Shoreline. A limestone staircase winds through an acre of river cliffs, leading to Barker's Beach--a sandy area along the Ohio River.

​Scenic Overlook. Perched on a bluff sixty feet above the water, affording timeless views of the river as it winds through the green hills of Indiana and Kentucky.

​River Terrace. Wrapped around the solarium and columnated porches, the river terrace provides over 4,000 sf of hardscaped patios, including an elegant pool, gazebo, and koi pond. This natural setting provides the perfect venue to enjoy time with colleagues or family, or celebrate your special evening as the moonlight reflects on the vast expanses of the Ohio.

​Manicured Grounds. With over five acres of property, there are multiple backdrops for your stay or special event, and wherever you choose, you and your guests will have plenty or room to stroll about and enjoy the grounds.
