The cabin was fantastic. The kitchen had all the needed items for cooking. The beds were comfortable. The views were unbelievable. The host provided a telescope and binoculars for viewing. The porch had plenty of seating and a table for breakfast, lunch, and dinner. If you have a dog they have a doggie dog from the porch that leads to a ramp going down to a fenced in yard. There is also a gate on the porch if you have small children. The yard leading down to the river has a huge rock that is a great place to sit a watch the boats go by. There is a TV, but we never watched it. The cabin also has a washer and dryer. The host provides many little extras to make your stay pleasant.

Initial impression upon entering the property is very positive, pleasing to the eye. The view of the Ohio is very satisfying. A generous kitchen and great room make the stay so enjoyable. A very large screen TV that can be easily viewed from anywhere in the kitchen or great room. The internet connection allows for your streaming pleasure. That was easy. Bedrooms were adequate and comfortable. The Bathroom is a generous size with a shower and lavatory. Bathroom is well stocked to provide you with most all of the basic essentials. A washer and clothes dryer is offered, I however did not use them. The big deck allows for the comfortable viewing of the river. I hope a solution for all the stink bugs can be applied here.A fully stocked kitchen makes for a good place to gather for a home cooked meal with the family. All the rest of the accomodations were very good. All this, and it is affordable. I hade an enjoyble time here. Thank you.

Overall nice place. Location and outdoor setting was perfect. My only tip would be that the cleaning crew could have done a better job with dusting, cobwebs, washing inside fridge and freezer, and sweeping the wood floors. The beds, bathroom and kitchen were in excellent shape cleanliness wise so I overlooked the rest. There were three bags of trash on the porch upon arrival that the cleaning crew did not take with them but the owner came and got them my last night there. I’ll still return, but maybe the cleaning crew will give better attention next time. Small unincorporated town but I knew that when I booked. I was looking for quiet and peaceful. I did go into Tell City to look around at the flood gates murals, and to Cannelton Locks and Dam to watch the barges and boats lock through. Enjoyed a campfire at night and morning on the big deck watching the sunrise.

My husband and I typically come here 2 times a year. Very peaceful. We’ve never regretted coming. It’s always clean and the host is so friendly. We just had a visit from the groundskeeper and he offered a free boat ride if we wanted! Such a surprise. We love our time here, so much so we got married here 2 years ago on the deck. I highly recommend this cabin to get away from reality for awhile

Great Place to Stay

If you’re looking for a clean cabin with a beautiful river view, this is the place to stay. I never left the property. I needed A get away to unwind and destress with my pups and this did the trick. The dogs loved the little fenced yard and had no issues going up and down the dog ramp. I loved The picturesque view of the river and sounds of nature. It is very near a road, but it didn’t bother me at all. It was in the 90s so unfortunately I didn’t get to spend much time outside during the day, but the AC works great and there is a huge tv and fantastic kitchen. Andy responded timely to any question I had and his Dad even dropped by to offer a boat ride if I was interested which was very kind. Thanks for a great little get away. We will be back when the temps cool down!

We typically rent a cabin annually and this was our anniversary weekend. The house is well appointed and very comfortable, and the view is unmatched being right on the Ohio river. We relaxed, read books, the wife knitted, and we watched the river flow by as birds serenaded us. Even had a bald eagle perch in a tree viewable from the beautiful, huge porch! A very positive note re working with the owner: We erred on our arrival time by over an hour early, having driven in from eastern time zone to central. On texting the owner, he graciously gave us early access without issue. Already considering for next year!Eric & Karen B
