We had a great stay. The place was very clean and comfortable. The beds were so nice. Our favorite was sitting out on the deck overlooking the river. It was a peaceful getaway. We were even able to take a short trail down to the river. I highly recommend a stay here.

It was beautiful and peaceful! It was just the get away i needed from the hustle and bustle of work life. Close to the hiking that i wanted to do, but not close to anything that was a distra tion from the peace.

Location, location, location!

We had a lovely 3 night stay at The San Damiano! We did some hiking in The Shawnee National Forest and chose this on VRBO as it was 25-50 minutes from everything we wanted to see! The location was so gorgeous, we could have spent the entire time on the back porch enjoying the view! Thank you so much, everything was wonderful!
Enjoyed watching the cows across the river graze and wade!
Bring your binoculars!
A flock of white pelican’s gracefully landed in front of us and then float down the river!

Definitely need some updates, which you mentioned. An acess from the balcony going down, instead of going out the front door. Especially when grilling.

Response from VrboOwner on 10 Oct 2025
We are actively working on updates, and hope to see a lot done within the next year. Unfortunately due to safety and insurance we cant have steps on the back decks, due to the proximity of the bluff. We agree it would be nice to have as well!

On the Ohio River.

Accommodations were clean and comfortable. Simply appointed and has necessities. Quiet area directly on the Ohio River, not far from Garden of the Gods. About thirty minutes from Harrisburg. We drove in and ate at Morello's one day and The BBQ Barn on another day. Both good choices.

Great peaceful getaway

Older but very clean property. All units face the river. I wanted a peaceful atmosphere to reset from a loss. It provided me that. If you love to hike this place provides a great home base. If you want shopping and restaurants it does not. The WiFi was non existent don't know why there was a TV in the room. Great value otherwise.

20th Wedding Anniversary

This was the best rental we have ever had. The cabin unit was fantastic. Because it was an anniversary, we wanted some place private and quiet. Here we got both. Watching the barges on the river, was so much fun. We got to hike,and even played horseshoes. Just make sure you take food with you,because nearest restaurant is 10 miles from cabin. Hope to come back again.

Great location

Everything was great, only concerns we had was there two black dogs - some say may have been coyotes that would not leave our deck, and ran inside our room as soon as we got there. Was not a huge deal, but did not want to sit outside and enjoy the view because of it. Also a little nervous as out 2nd locks did not work on the door, and main lock on the back patio was tough tonlock. Otherwise, clean nice place for the price, would for sure stay again, but recomend updating doors!!!

Nice place near the Garden of the Gods

We enjoyed the waterfront view from our patio and watching the tug boats moving the barges. The place could use a few updates but for the price, location and waterfront view it was a nice place to stay after hiking at the Garden of the Gods. Likely my oversight but I also didn't realize the cabins weren't stand alone units. Our building had (4) units. Luckily the time of year we visited we were the only people in our building but if you are there during a busy time it might not be as nice sitting on the patio with your neighbors right next to you. At the end of the evening we wanted to wind down watching TV and did have some trouble getting the Roku TV to work but the hosts were quick to respond to my text and helped me resolve the issue. If you want a quiet place close to the Garden of Gods I would recommend this location.

The cabin was bigger than i thought and had a full kitchen. The back deck had an amazing view but would have been better if it had steps to the firepit. We just had to walk around from the front. The galley style kitchen had a big fridge and gas stove, both nice stainless steel but needed a light over the stove. Could use an upgrade on the coffee maker but it worked and we thoroughly enjoyed having coffebon the deck. The room was big with 2 queen sized beds but the matresses could use an upgrade. Loved the soft blankets on the bed and there were lots of pillows which i loved. The tub was huge and the jets were very powerful. It could use a bigger hot water heater or maybe a tankless one. I still spent like an hour soaking in it. Lots of hiking just steps outside. Great value for the money we paid. I also like that they give any food you leave to an organization for the homeless. Im always up for giving back. My sister and I had a wonderful Mother's Day weekend.
