Why they chose this property

Incredible property in a very desirable area - we couldn't pass up the rare opportunity to own one of the only homes in Loveland that is directly on the trail AND has acreage with river access! We are so grateful we got the opportunity to own this home and property and love being able to share it with you :)

Please note that the cottage is located on the portion of the property farthest from the river in order to remain safely away from potential flooding. To reach the river, guests will need to walk across the private 4-acre property and hike down the riverbank to the private rocky river beach area.

We recommend bringing comfortable hiking shoes, bathing suits, and anything you may want to enjoy once you reach the river. After the walk down, the river beach area is a beautiful, peaceful, and relaxing place to spend time.

Please also keep in mind that the riverbank changes frequently throughout the year as the river rises and falls based on rainfall and seasonal conditions. During most times of the year, the river is not visible from the cottage.

The footpaths used to access the riverbank and beach area are cleaned out regularly; however, vegetation grows very quickly in the river valley. Depending on the time of year, there may be grass, weeds, or natural growth along the path.

Guests should be physically able and comfortable walking across the property and hiking down the riverbank to access the riverbed and beach. Once you arrive, it is truly a spectacular and relaxing spot to enjoy.

What makes this property unique

Walk out the back door and straight onto the Little Miami/Loveland Bike Trail. Walk out the front door and across the field to the Little Miami River's edge. I don't know of another property like this one anywhere!
Please note this is located in the river valley and outdoor allergens can be intense in the wetter months like spring. It is an outdoor lover's dream property, but may not be well suited to someone who suffers from allergies or sinus issues.

Located approx. 15 miles (15-20 minute drive) from the Warren County Sports Park where the 2022 World Ultimate Frisbee Championships will be held. We welcome our guests coming into town for this event!
