About this property
Family/Pet-Friendly Riverside Home w/Amazing Views
The stunning views of the river and tree-lined shore beyond from your private deck certainly steal the show when you stay in this recently remodeled getaway in a tranquil location just north of Louisville. But there’s plenty to enjoy inside this beautifully presented 2-bedroom home from home that features brand new (2023) flooring, plus a new kitchen and bathroom suite. If you like an upscale family-friendly home with granite and marble everywhere and you want genuinely stunning views, this beautiful place is for you.
SINGLE LEVEL HOME This is a step free, one floor home, granting guests easy access to all areas, which makes moving around easy for younger guests and people with mobility issues.
THE LIVING ROOM For those occasions when you’re not making the most of the wonderful nature all around you, the living area features twin blue couches gathered around a coffee table. It’s a great place to make plans for your next adventure, and to watch the large flatscreen TV. Even bigger is the freestanding full length mirror that’s great for perfecting your look just before you head out!
THE KITCHEN Everything you see is new as the kitchen suite is just one of the remodeled features of the house. Check out the list of amenities to discover everything that’s in here for you. Highlights are sure to be the Keurig coffee maker for a delicious start to every day, and the dishwasher that’ll save anyone wasting time washing up. There’s also a rice maker, not something you’ll find everywhere you stay!
THE DINING AREA There’s a table and chairs at which you can sit and enjoy all those delights you’ve created in the kitchen, or perhaps food you’ve ordered in. Clear away the plates and you can use the space for work and games (board games are provided).
THE 2 BEDROOMS This family friendly home has a room with a double bed for the grown-ups in your group and a second room with bunk beds that’s sure to appeal to the young and young at heart. A flatscreen TV in the double room gives you viewing options if someone’s not keen on what’s on in the living area. Both bedrooms have storage space for everyone’s clothes and bags, so there’s no need to live out of your suitcases when you stay here.
THE BATHROOM More shiny welcoming newness in this tiled treat of a bathroom. Start every day under the glorious shower, and use the cabinet space under the sink to store all your toiletries. There’s no need to bring towels as they’ll be provided by your hosts.
OUTSIDE SPACE And so to perhaps this home’s most remarkable, wonderful, unbelievable feature, the stunning views of the river and the tree-lined shore on the opposite bank from the patio area. Now, you’ll no doubt have encountered many homes that say they have stunning views, but this one is truly hard to beat. An uninterrupted view which you can enjoy from comfortable quality seating on the deck. Remember, staying here doesn’t just give you great views of the River Ohio, it gives you easy access to the water too. If you’re bringing a boat, the boat slip gives you somewhere moor it. Also in the backyard, there’s a firepit, great for gathering around at the end of the day, and a BBQ grill to ensure that all the food preparation doesn’t have to happen in the kitchen. The outdoor dining area gives you all somewhere to enjoy those grilled delights.
FAMILY FRIENDLY FEATURES Younger guests are welcome to stay here and are well catered for, with a crib available as well as children’s dinnerware and a whole host of board games to play – if you have time!
BRING YOUR PETS This is a family friendly home, and your dog is a big part of your family, so they’re welcome to join you here.
FREE PARKING You can leave your vehicle right outside the property, giving you a short distance to wheel your bags when you arrive.
LAUNDRY – WASHER AND DRYER Spending lots of time outdoors which you surely will while staying here, can get clothes a little dirty, but you can use the washer and dryer for free to keep on top of your laundry.
REMOTE WORKING If you’re planning a workcation, this is the ideal spot with those inspiring views and plenty of table space inside and outside for your laptop. And yes, the whole place is served by Wifi.
YOUR AVAILABILITY / GUEST ACCESS You’ll have full and private use of the house and the deck during the duration of your stay, plus access to the river and use of the boat slip. It’s a single level, step free home, making accessibility easy. Your hosts will be on hand to ensure your stay is as remarkable as the view from the deck. Their contact details will be shared with you when you confirm your booking.
YOUR NEIGHBORHOOD This riverside property nestles on the Kentucky / Indiana border just north of downtown Louisville. It’s a truly beautiful part of the world that will afford you the chance to relax and unwind, enjoying being surrounded by nature and having easy access to Louisville. Bring your boat if you’re lucky enough to have one, as there’s a slip where you can moor it and access the Ohio River that runs right by the backyard. And if you can tear yourself away from those picturesque views from the deck, there are other places you can drive to from here, if you’re ready to explore the local area. These include:
Harrods Creek Park -1.0 mile Downtown Kentucky Convention Center - 13.0 miles Kentucky Science Center – 13.3 miles Kentucky Derby Museum – 17.5 miles Churchill Downs - 17.5 miles Fair and Exposition Center – 17.7 miles
GETTING AROUND You can park right outside this single level Kentucky home in a quiet, riverside neighborhood. With a boat slip at the back and direct access to the Ohio River, you can explore the area on the water if you like. Back on dry land, as well as your own car, you can hire Ubers and get someone else to do the driving.

Property was clean. Check in and out process was a breeze. Love that we were able to bring our dog with and able to do any laundry we had. Has great views from the deck of the river and night watching of all the airplanes landing! Had a couple of issues arise during stay but owner was very responsive! We would stay again if planning another trip in the area.
My husband and our pups had a wonderful vacation and enjoyed our stay at the Riverview House! The deck is 100% amazing and seeing riverboats, barges, party boats and even 3 eagles was great! The house is a little small, but we spent most of the time outdoors anyway. Great spot!
The home was clean and better furnished than a lot of places we have stayed. When I reached out to the owners they responded promptly. The neighborhood was awesome.
We stayed at the house for two nights while in town for a horse show. We had an amazing time and the house was perfect for us. The house had everything we needed and we really enjoyed the deck out back with the small fire pit and view of the river! Overall an awesome house.
It was an absolutely beautiful stay from the beginning to end! Neighbors were ever so kind to let us use their dock! I absolutely love that y’all had washer and dryers I hate leaving places not how they were when we got there so truly that helped a ton! Thank you for the stay!
There were some things that were missing from the house that were on the amenities list, the owner delivered them promptly and everything was great!

Could be really nice
Front entrance smells horrible. Inside house was nice. The back yard could be nice if deck area was swept and there was cleared access (have to walk though overgrown weeds) to the nice dock.

Thank you for your feedback. We're glad to hear you enjoyed the interior of the house! We sincerely apologize for the unpleasant smell at the front entrance and appreciate you bringing it to our attention.
We also value your input regarding the backyard. We’ll work on clearing the access to the dock and ensuring the deck area is properly maintained. Your suggestions will help us improve the experience for future guests.
Thank you again for your review, and we hope to welcome you back for an even better stay!
We enjoyed our stay at the River house!! We were in Louisville for a Family get together. The views from the deck were beautiful. Too bad the weather wasn't warmer so we could spend more time on the deck! We didn't spend much time at the River house, since we were there for a Family get together. It was perfect for my Husband, myself and our dog!!
We had a great time during our stay. Our entourage included my husband and I, 3 teenagers plus 2 large dogs. It was the perfect size for sleeping, but a little tight for hanging out unless you hang out outside on the hige deck over the river. The furniture is college dorm style, but works for the purposes we needed. All in all it is a cute little house and a great location.
This freshly remodeled home right on the river was perfect for our three night stay. The kitchen is well equipped and the beds are very comfortable. We’ve always been wildly active on vacation but are learning to relax. Watching the river from the brand new deck helped slow us down in a good way. The host was very communicative and helpful with any questions. I was hesitant bc of small number of reviews bc it’s new to the rental market, but took a leap of faith and it worked out well!
Nestled on the Ohio River in a quiet neighborhood close to Louisville (about 20 minutes). Pet friendly. Clean. Nice kitchen with appliances like a Keurig coffee machine, regular coffee pot, air fryer, and blender. Beds were not the most comfortable and neither was the furniture. Great shower! The yard needs attention. Looks like it went through a storm!
Right on the river, great view. Convenient to the city, about 20 minutes. Front porch(first impression) needs some work…. Lots of empty boxes, used AC filters, and ant bait sprinkled everywhere. Door hinges also broken. An easy cleanup to prevent a bad first impression. Comfy beds, clean interior rooms. Just needs some TLC on the outside. Would stay there again though.

View
The view was great. House needed swept. It would be good to have a broom and dust pan incase of a mess and some cleaning supplies. The floor needs addressed with dips in the floor causing the wood flooring to crack in several places. Cynder blocks to hold up the couch was not appealing.

Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback. We're glad to hear that you enjoyed the great view! We appreciate your suggestions regarding the cleaning supplies and will definitely look into providing a broom and dustpan for our guests.
We’re also sorry to hear about the issues with the flooring and the couch support. Your comments are valuable, and we will address these concerns to enhance our guests' experience.
Thank you again for your input, and we hope to welcome you back in the future for an even better stay!
Recent good reviews were not accurate. I expected quirky but not shabby. Under remodeling with paint pealing in entrance and all outside walls. Painting supplies and other materials in the entryway. Dirty windows. Understocked kitchen. Wouldn't sit on couches- they would not be accepted at Goodwill. Deck was marvelous but without a tree needs an umbrella, Needed to clean the deck of leaves on arrival with an inadequate broom. Second day someone used a leaf blower very early in the morning. Tried to contact the owner but got no response. Too much money for what we received.
I couldn’t give it five stars, it’s like 4.5.
Pros -
Quiet neighborhood
Beautiful view of the lake
Deck and a dock to hang out on
Inside is very clean
Bathroom and shower is just as shown
Beds are comfortable, towels are fluffy
Kitchen is stocked well with most things you need
Cons -
The front entrance is rough and smelly. The smell though doesn’t go into the house.
The cushions for the deck furniture was sitting in a container that had water in it. We set them out for a day and let the sun take care of that.
Side note - this place is secluded and takes you off the beaten path. Depending on who you are this is a really good thing or something to avoid.
Overall excellent stay. Glad we did.

Good place for the basics
We came to town for a family reunion- my aunt and uncle live about 8 minutes from this property, so we really didn't stay in the house often. Just there to sleep and shower, basically. I will say that this place works well for the basics! A clean place to stay, ample parking, with a kitchen and bathroom. I should also note some feedback for improvement- the couches and chairs in the living/dining space all had stains of some sort. Possibly food? There were no throw blankets which made the living room less cozy and inviting (especially because we were there when it was really cold in the mornings and I wanted to enjoy a hot tea on the couch while waking up). The back door didn't lock fully- the alarm on the wall kept saying it wasn't locked. Both fire alarms were beeping when we entered so we had to take out the batteries to keep them from chirping. There was no hand soap in the bathroom, so I borrowed some from my aunt. I think I'd stay here again if I needed to, but I'd have to come prepared with extras to make it more comfortable for me, personally.
