About this property
The Barge Inn: Your Epic Ohio River Waterfront Escape in Beautiful Prospect, KY!
Barge right in to your Prospect, KY escape! This riverfront townhouse sleeps 10 and delivers sweeping Ohio River views. Cruise out to your private 40' dock or unwind with fantastic sunsets overlooking Indiana's Charlestown State Park. Close to the region's finest bourbon distilleries, wineries, beautiful horse farms, Churchill Downs, some of KY's best golf courses—this is your launchpad for the ultimate Bluegrass adventure.
At The Barge Inn, vaulted ceilings and panoramic river views create a sense of calm from the moment you walk in. The open living space glows with natural light — ideal for slow coffee mornings or sunset unwinding. From the living room to the primary suite and lower level, every space offers tranquil water views and room to relax, reconnect, and make unforgettable memories.
Wake up to the river rolling by and the soft glow of sunrise dancing on the water. Pour a cup of coffee, step onto the balcony, and let the world slow down. You might spot a barge gliding past or a doe and her fawns enjoying breakfast by the shore — peaceful reminders that you’re exactly where you’re meant to be.
As the day winds down, grab your favorite drink and settle on the balcony for a front-row seat to the sunset. The sky melts into shades of gold, coral, and rose while the river mirrors every hue. Whether you’re sharing stories, capturing the moment, or simply soaking in the stillness, it’s the perfect way to end the day.

What makes this property unique
The Barge Inn isn’t just a stay, it’s a full-on river experience. Perched directly on the Ohio River, it offers rare, panoramic water views from nearly every room and two private balconies built for sunrise coffee and bourbon sunsets. You’ll have your own 40-foot dock just steps away, perfect for boating, fishing, or just dipping your toes in the water. Inside, the townhouse blends casual Kentucky charm with modern comfort, open living spaces, cozy touches, and room for the whole crew. Located in scenic Prospect, it’s minutes from Louisville’s best bourbon distilleries, horse country, and local favorites, but still feels like its own quiet retreat.
