Great getaway and private location

Loved the locations and quietness here. Daughter and I stayed there and just decompressed from our busy lives. We spent alotnof time in the hot in overlooking the river and absolutely loved the patio. Place was clean and had all the amenities you could possibly need. A bonus was plenty of firewood for the fire pit! Hosts were responsive and great

Great get away

The eagle's nest is a lovely log cabin in a very peaceful spot with beautiful views. The property is very clean and well maintained. The check in and out process was simple and efficient. We brought food and enjoyed all our meals on the deck. The kitchen was more than adequate. My son loved getting to sleep up in the loft. The hot tub was perfect after a day of touring or hiking. Highly recommend and hope to return.

Excellent get-away cabin with a view

We had a great stay at the Eagle's Nest. The pictures don't do justice to the deck and views of the Ohio River. Karen was a great host. She met us at the cabin to quickly explain some details and answer any questions. The cabin was very clean and great for our needs. We enjoyed sitting on the deck and watching the barges go down and up the river. It was in a quiet neighborhood. We stayed here to explore the area and to attend the farm show in Louisville, which was around 45 min. from the cabin.

Wonderful spot, kind attentive host

No problems at all. Beautiful cabin spot on a cliff overlooking the Ohio River. Spent all three mornings on the porch, driving coffee and listening to the wide range of local birds ---woodpeckers, orioles, mockingbirds, warblers, and cardinals. So relaxing. Hot tub and firepit were also used most nights---very fun! When we needed more firewood or coffee, Karen was attentive and brought some right over. Thanks!

Kentucky Derby

We had a group of 6 and had a wonderful stay at a beautiful cabin. It took us about 45 minutes to get to Churchill Downs and didn't have to deal with much traffic but we did leave by 9;30 AM. Unfortunately, we had no water the day of the Derby but no fault of the owners. I think there must have been a water main break.

Property is great !

My wife and I enjoyed our time here. If you need tech like WiFi or satelle or cable you won’t have it. But we didn’t need it the tv gets plenty of stations and the cell service for us was great so we just used our phone to look up things. The hot tub is one of the best we have ever had at a rental. The views from the deck are so relaxing at anytime of the day. We came for a weekend getaway and for a short 5 hour drive it’s was like a whole other world compared to our normal lives in Illinois. We took the short ride to Louisville which was great. The owners are great with their response time and with any info you may need. If your looking for a place for a getaway I highly recommend this cabin !

One word...Wow!!!

I am afraid to post this review, worried we may never get to book here again if it gets too busy. We needed a quiet, peaceful, romantic weekend away and we found it. If that is what you want consider coming here to unplug for a few days. Nice modern, new cabins with... no internet, no satellite TV, and spotty cellphone service. Maybe not for everyone, but just what we needed. The view is fantastic. Nestled high on the bank of the Ohio River looking east into Kentucky. I had no idea Indiana had anything like this view. The hot tub is also a big plus. I got to watch an amazing sunrise one morning while enjoying it. The location puts you 30 minutes to an hour from lots of great stuff to do as well. Caving, hiking, exploring, shopping, eating... plenty to do if you want to get out for a bit. The host was great and super friendly. Looking forward to coming back soon. Note: there are no laundry facilities either, so keep that in mind for your planning and packing.

Wanted to stay another week!

Absolutely perfect week. The cabin was beautiful on the inside and we had everything we needed. And the view was even better in person than in pictures. There were some houses nearby but you really don’t notice them and it’s really quiet, they also have a privacy fence for the hot tub so it seems even more separated from the world. The kitchen has enough pots and pans for cooking meals at the cabin, and there is a good amount of storage for food items. There’s a dollar general down the road for simple things you may have forgotten. Karen was super helpful and responsive. She provides not only complimentary firewood but also a storage tub of fire starting materials and brings more as needed. There are a couple restaurants if you’re feeling lazy and don’t won’t to cook but they’re small town restaurants and close early, except for the dock on the river but it gets CROWDED on the weekends. Overall had an amazing week, my girlfriend and I wanted to take another week off work.
