Wonderful water view of the Ohio River! The house is as advertised and very cozy to unwind and enjoy your vacation! Daniel the host stayed in touch and was very helpful! We had a wonderful time!
Beautiful location with a great view over the river. It was a perfect home base for our weekend on the bourbon trail. This was our second time at this property, and we're likely to be back for a third time.
Came to town for my youngest daughter's wedding festivities. Trying all day to make sure everything is as perfect as possible for the young bride to be was a tall order to fill - having the peace and tranquility of this space to retreat to each evening was exactly what I needed to recharge and be ready for the next day.Great host. Will visit again.
The property was amazing. Being on the river we were able to relax and enjoy the water. Daniel was more then accomodating. I definitely recommend and will be visiiting again.
My husband and two teenagers and our blue heeler had a great 4 night stay! The place had everything we needed and was close to everything we wanted to do. I loved spending the mornings working from the patio that was absolutely Heaven! No issues no complaints great stay !
The space is thoughtfully outfitted with all essentials and has comfortable furnishings. My dog and I enjoyed exploring the neighborhood and embracing the quiet season. Our host, Daniel, was attentive and responsive to all requests. We will definitely be back!
Daniel's cottage was perfect for our first stay on the Ohio River. We loved the spotlessly clean retro cinder block. It was beautifully renovated and had every comfort amenity. Street side is quiet, beautiful and a wonderful place to walk our dogs, and the river view from the cottage was, of course, terrific!
The location is amazing and Dan was so easy to work with. The house was clean and had what we needed. Some of the dishes were dirty and the grill could use a cleaning of the grates. Otherwise we really enjoyed our stay and would stay here again.
We had a lot of fun! We all have very busy lives that never stop so we like to make it stop and take the time to enjoy it for a few day with some peace and quiet and some relaxation! It was very quiet and enjoyable!
Cute little house with a fantastic outdoor space to enjoy the view. We utilized the kayaks and some of the games left for guest use. Kitchen is tiny, but has everything you need for a short stay. Owner was very flexible to deal with and responded quickly when messaged. Thank you!
Overall it was an awesome stay. Definitely a quaint little place with a perfect view and great amenities. We definitely are planning on coming back to Kentucky again soon and most definitely would stay here again for a second time.
Thanks for everything! :)
We loved how close everything was to Louisville (can get to different parts of Louisville in under 10 minutes), yet be completely in the country with a beautiful backyard and pergola overlooking the Ohio River. Ended every day out there with beautiful sunsets. Would 100% come back here the next time in area!
Our stay was great! The house is right on the river and tucked away from the main road but only 10 mins away! Daniel was a great host. Great communicator, and had any type of amenity you possible could need. Very well prepared than any other host I’ve experienced. Wasn’t able to get the kayaks out due to the water level on the river but will definitely be booking again!
Enjoyed our stay. The view is beautiful. Neighborhood is quiet. The listing says 3 bedrooms but there is only 2. They have a pull out couch in the family room so i guess they consider that a "bedroom". Overall we would stay again. Property manager was awesome.
We loved this place. Outstanding river view just out the back door. Great seating to watch it. House is on smaller side but still plenty of room. Bed slept great. Did I mention the river view.
It has a really nice shower and 2 nice bedrooms. Kitchen is efficient and tv room is full of windows looking at the river.
We will be back for another stay.
