We have stayed at this beautiful Ohio River Cabin many times and we love it every year. We bring our boat the kids play in the river. We enjoy fires at night overlooking the water. There really isn’t a better location on the Ohio river than this.

Great rental cabin. Pictures don’t do it justice. Beds were extremely comfortable and the back deck was so nice and big. Fun watching the boats and barges go by. Fun things to do in the area. Only downside was part of the drive/road was washed out by the recent floods, so it was a bit scary driving to the cabin. We had a wonderful trip and the weather was perfect.

It was a good stay, communication and check in was pretty good. If you are bringing a boat be sure to contact the host first and be sure your truck, trailer and boat size are good to go. An inexperienced driver would have issues on the road down.

Thank you for your review! We’re glad you enjoyed your stay and felt communication and check-in went well. We just wanted to clarify that the road access comment was simply a courtesy to help guests bringing a boat plan ahead and make sure their vehicle and trailer are suitable for the road. It wasn’t intended to reflect the quality of the property or your overall stay. We appreciate your feedback and are always looking for ways to make the experience even better!

Our family stayed at the cabin on the river for our summer vacation. We wanted to bring along our boat and needed a cabin with a dock, which was one of the great perks of this place! While the cabin mostly looked like the photos, a few minor changes would greatly improve this space. The entire place could use a deep cleaning, dusting inside and out. The ropes on the deck aren't all in place and could be a fall risk for little ones if left unattended. The couch in the living room was basically unusable for the adults on our trip, there was hardly any support. Pluses would be the A/C works great, the kitchen is well equipped, though an ice maker would be nice, there is laundry on site and plenty of deck space/boat space. Also, if you don't have an all wheel drive SUV or mini van or a truck, I would use caution driving into this place. I was surprised no one mentioned the lane to get down to this house in reviews. Maybe as a Central Ohio flatlander I'm not used to such driving. All in all, we had a great time at the cabin.

Thank you Tara for taking the time to leave such a thoughtful review. We’re so glad your family enjoyed the dock, the river, the A/C, the well-equipped kitchen, and the outdoor space—it sounds like you were able to make the most of your vacation. We also appreciate your feedback. We regularly deep clean the cabin and will certainly follow up with our housekeeping team regarding your comments about dusting. We’ll also inspect the deck ropes to ensure everything is secure. Regarding the couch, we understand that comfort is subjective. It is a premium Italian leather Restoration Hardware piece that was intentionally selected for its deep, lounge-style seating, which many of our guests have enjoyed, though we recognize it may not suit everyone’s preference. Thank you again for your feedback, and we wish you and your family all the best.

Cabin was very clean and exactly as described. Kitchen was fully stocked and came in handy as I cooked meals for our group. The back yard/patio is seriously grand. When you walk out, there is a breathtaking view of the river. Absolutely gorgeous! Would definitely recommend and stay here again.

Beautiful Location on the River - Firepit with a View

This is our 2nd stay here and we love it. This time it wasn't too cold to be outside and we had a nice time around the firepit at night. If you have kids who love to burn stuff, have them gather driftwood from the river front before dark. It burns bright. The owner has added railing to the upstairs loft and we feel safer with the kids now. I do wish there was undercabinet lighting in the kitchen or some sort of light over the sink. And the upstairs half bath mirror should be raised so one can use it . As is it is too low. There were four of us, two adults and 2 little ones. It could be more with 3 bedrooms. With 1.5 baths adults need to time showers but it is manageable. All in all a great place!
