Everything We Needed for a Peaceful GetawayMoondance was exactly what we needed. The peaceful surroundings along the Ohio River were such a gift—so quiet and calming compared to the constant noise of traffic and trains back home. The accommodations were a perfect fit for us, and we truly felt able to relax and recharge. We would love to return someday.

Relaxing and Cozy

Tranquil property right on the river. Despite the bad weather Mother Nature decided to bring during our stay, it was still a great getaway with peace, and relaxation. The hot tub was a nice touch to enjoy on the front porch watching the river and all the birds feeding from the birdhouse. Was just right for what we needed.

A little peace and quiet

We thoroughly enjoyed our long weekend at Moondance cabin. This is the second time we have stayed at this cabin. It’s so relaxing sitting on the deck, looking at the Ohio River, watching the barges on the river and listening to the chimes. Such relaxation.

Last minute weekend getaway

This cozy cabin is perfect for 2 couples. The views are wonderful. We thoroughly enjoyed the porch swing and rocking chairs. The evenings around the fire pit were magical. Watching the barges go up and down the Ohio River is simply relaxing. Thanks, Bud! We’ll be back.

A Little Bit of Heaven

This was a beautiful setting, with a large deck facing the river. The cabin was very clean and comfortable, with large windows viewing the river. Everything we needed was provided. We did not cook any meals, so I can't say anything about cooking items. There is no question about us returning for another visit, we definitely will. Thank you Bud and Marcia for a wondertime.

Poor Customer Service

Owner took off for the weekend and was not available to assist us when we accidentally locked ourselves out of the cabin - something that can happen to anyone. Without contacting us to discuss anything, he then attempted to charge us for damage to the property we never caused and insulted us on our physical size stating that we were definitely not petite. We even left a tip for housekeeping, stripped the sheets, did the dishes, emptied the trash, and collected the dirty towels. The cabin was completely NOT sprayed outside for spiders as they were everywhere. Want to enjoy the hot tub? Better hire an exterminator first, they were crawling all over the back deck and hot tub cover. We have had IMPECCABLE ratings and always treated properties with the utmost respect. He should have contacted us first to discuss his concerns, instead we see a bill from him - judgment and sentence pronounced, case closed. One would have expected a more reasonable approach to communicating, as well as better protocol for reaching a live on site person at his compound. We got a text saying he was out of town, that's it.

The host was amazing! The cabins are beautiful and the veiw was spectacular. Everything was very clean. The only thing was you couldn't fish from the lot we rented. There was a spot to fish up the road a bit. Overall it was a great stay.

I rented a cabin off the river because I wanted the views, after I spent the money I was told that the cabin I rented was already booked and was upgraded to a bigger cabin except this cabin was across the road with other cabins in front of the view, I was disappointed in that , the owner was very nice and so was the cabin, we had a grate time still, I would definitely go back if I knew I would get the cabin I booked ,

Fall weekend at Moondance Cabin

The cabin had big, beautiful windows and it was very spacious for my husband and our two fur babies. It was fantastic weather and was very relaxing watching the barges and river activity on the deck.

Girlfriend Getaway

We loved it from the moment we got there. All the essentials you need. Movies, games, a puzzle, lots of food. There was not a good view of the moon either night so I plan to come back for that river experience. We did see a lot of barges on Saturday. Squirrels and lots of birds. Weather was a little cold so we stayed inside and did not do a fire but next time we will.

Yearly Trip

Overall great. I would suggest there be a few more things in the rental such as olive oil and sugar. We could only find a extra blanket and the nights were chilly but the hot tub and grill and the view was great!!! Also a little bit more explanation on pet policy. We had a friend stop by with a small dog for 2 hours and understandable they wanted some pet money. This was unexpected on my part and Bub was willing to negotiate. Oh, and the stairs in need some attention. But as I stated this was all in all a great experience and would recommend highly!
