We had a wonderful girls’ weekend at this cabin! It had everything we needed and more, making it easy to relax and enjoy our time together. The main bedroom on the first floor had an incredibly comfortable bed. The two twin beds upstairs were fine, but if you don’t love a firm bed I’d recommend bringing a mattress topper for a little extra comfort.We spent the weekend kayaking, fishing, playing board games, laughing together, and ending the evenings with movies. It was the perfect peaceful retreat to unwind and spend much needed quality time together. We would absolutely stay here again and look forward to booking another trip in the future!

We loved the location of this property; it was quiet and relaxing. The beds and furniture in the home were comfortable, and everything was clean and well stocked. We brought our boat and were able to launch just a few short minutes away. We also found some great local places to grab a bite to eat. We enjoyed our stay very much!

Very nice comfortable house. Interior is spotless. I really appreciated the cleaning supplies, paper products, soaps, coffee, TV, and WiFi. Overall, we had a very nice relaxing stay. Quiet streets good for walking everyday. Very friendly community. My only complaint is the outside. Wondering if the yard has been mowed yet this year. The grass is very high in some areas and the property is overgrown. Weeds and leaves. Doesn’t look like it’s been cleaned up in quite a while. Neighboring yards were very well maintained. The deck and outdoor furniture need cleaned. Dock has been lifted and some boards are broken.

Golf trip

This place was close to belterra and a few other golf courses. Comfortable beds, great AC (as we came on the hottest days of the year), and everything you need to cook in the house. The kayaks were a great fun activity for when we had free time. Would stay again.

Aaron & Erin have a hidden gem here by the river. There was snow alerts a couple days before we arrived, and we wondered how the roads would be. We reached out to Aaron, who responded very quickly to let us know what was going on real time. He extended the offer of early check-in if needed, and kept us updated until we arrived safely. So kind. My family and I had the best week, exploring the area during the day, and relaxing by the fireplace in the evening over homecooked meals or takeout from a local eatery, leftovers or just snacking. The views were perfect as a backdrop to the wildlfe we enjoyed, little birds with mohawk hairs-dos and colorful wings. Gray squirrels quick as could be scampering around the trees. We had a question about the wifi one night, again, Aaron responded quickly to our needs. Cant say enough about that. Its rare.The hot tub was luxuriantly steamy and welcome in the snow. I'm visiting from Nevada, so it was a nice local getaway for my sister, and a world away from Northern Nevada. I would definitely stay again. Thank you Aaron & Erin for your hospitality and kind, timely communication.

Great get away

Quiet, quaint retreat for my spouse and I however we may have to return with our older teens. This cabin had everything we needed and more without being over crowded! Beautiful setting on the water with serene morning views peering through enough trees for privacy while allowing the sun in. Entertainment of your choice: porch deck, hot tub, dock on inlet of the Ohio River, TV with every streaming service a family might want, water sports gear for warmer weather, and then some. Nearly forgot to mention The Neely Bros Distillery is just around the corner, which offered a wonderful tasting experience. Other very close options include Belterra Casino and The Kentucky Speedway. If we come back for an extended visit, we will plan to bring groceries in with us. As closest we found was 15 minute drive, but easy to navigate. I’d continue to rave about this place, but fear I may sound like a paid spokesperson, come check it out for yourself!
