About this property
Riverfront Home on the Ohio River, Private Dock, Hot Tub, Sleeps 8
Sitting on the Ohio River just outside Louisville, this three-bedroom home is built for groups and families who want to be on the water without sacrificing comfort. The bridge lights reflecting off the river at night, mornings on the deck with coffee, evenings around the fire pit while something is on the grill, it is the kind of place that fills up a weekend without any effort.
HIGHLIGHTS
Private dock with direct Ohio River access Hot tub with open river views, runs year-round Temperature-controlled sunroom Wood burning fireplace Sleeps 8 across three queen bedrooms Fire pit, outdoor grill, and seating for ten
THE HOME
The home spans two levels with an open layout oriented toward the water. Two queen bedrooms, the main living area, kitchen, and dining space are on the main level. A third queen bedroom, a family room, and a full bathroom are on the lower level, which opens directly to the dock and river. A temperature-controlled sunroom sits between the living areas and the outdoors, comfortable in every season and one of the most-used spaces in the house.
MAIN LEVEL
The main level living area is built around a wood burning fireplace, with comfortable seating, a smart TV, and a queen sofa bed for additional sleeping flexibility. The kitchen features a waterfall granite island and new appliances, fully stocked with cooking basics and everything needed for a full group meal. The dining area connects directly to the kitchen and seats the group comfortably.
LOWER LEVEL
The third bedroom and a family room with a fold-out couch give the group a second hangout space or overflow sleeping area, with a decorative fireplace of its own. The lower level bathroom with a shower is right there for guests coming in from the dock.
OUTDOOR AND DOCK
The outdoor setup is the centerpiece of the property. The private dock gives direct Ohio River access for boats, fishing, or simply sitting and watching the water. The hot tub has open river views and runs year-round. The fire pit and outdoor grill are set up for evening use, and the deck and balcony give the group room to spread out. Seating for ten keeps everyone together outside. Guests bringing boats should note the river is an active wake zone, a spring line is recommended when docking.
FALL AND WINTER STAYS
This property is just as strong a getaway in cooler months. The wood burning fireplace and year-round hot tub make for an easy weekend by the water even in November or December, and the sunroom stays comfortable through every season.
LOCATION
Located on a quiet residential stretch of the Ohio River, with downtown Louisville about 20 minutes away and Kroger just minutes from the door. Restaurants, shopping, and everyday conveniences are close by while the property itself feels removed from everything.
GOOD TO KNOW
The home has in-unit washer and dryer, multiple smart TVs, and a dedicated office space. The property is pet friendly with a $150 per pet per stay fee. This property has an exterior security camera at the front of the home covering the driveway and front yard, it does not cover any indoor or private spaces.
This is the kind of stay where the group never runs out of things to do or places to be. The water handles most of it.

We enjoyed our stay at this property. The porch and patio including hot tub were our favorite hang out areas. The outside area could have used a little TLC but it did not detract from us enjoying the beautiful riverfront. Overall had a great time and loved the house.
Enjoyed being by the river and the house was perfect for our family. It was conveniently located near stores and restaurants and a short drive to Louisville.
This property was beautiful the view the atmosphere was amazing the cleanliness of the home was just as nice I will definitely visit again the host is very prompt with responding to any concerns 10/10 I would recommend
The property was very cozy and inviting. It had plenty of room to accommodate my large group, and the beds were very comfortable. It's close to other amenities but secluded enough to feel private. We had a great stay and would gladly do stay here again.
The house is a great place for a group gathering. What a calming view from a very nice enclosed elevated patio. Watching the barges was kind of fun. House is very functional and Kari is very responsive; before and during our stay. She has gr8 instructions on living there, options for local activities and eating places. We are talking of meeting there annually. Ty Kari!
Check in was easy. Host was very accommodating to our flight schedule. Bathroom and bedrooms were very clean and well decorated. The sun porch and hot tub were definitely our favorite spots to relax and enjoy the view. Downstairs is a perfect private space.
Awesome place and very close to a lot of things. Comfortable and relaxing as well!

I wasn't going to write a bad review because if you have nothing nice to say and all that, but I don't want someone to have the same experience we had. There were many disappointments but we did enjoy ourselves on the patio overlooking the river. That was awesome. The worst thing was that were drove 5 hours to get there and when we arrived the batteries were dead in the lock box. Fine, it happens. I texted and messaged thru Vbro and it took her 3 hours to get back to us. Fortunately, I guess, the back door was unlocked and we were able to gain access to the home that way. Just not what I expected all the way around.

I'm sorry your arrival wasn't smooth — I appreciate you sharing this and I will address the access and communication issues so it doesn't happen again. I'm glad you enjoyed the patio overlooking the river at our house, and thank you for staying with us.
Was a good place to stay. Check-in was easy. The kitchen was nice enough.

We appreciated having you.
That's a bit disheartening for a brand new kitchen with all new appliances. I would appreciate any feedback to make the kitchen better.
House was clean and comfortable and had everything we needed. We cannot say enough about the sunroom on the back of the house overlooking the river. We sat out there and read every day, did a puzzle out there, and ate our meals out there. View is fantastic and so relaxing. Be careful driving near the house in the evening and a night -- lots of deer in the area. It was an easy drive along the river to get into Louisville and only about 20 minutes away. Grocery store was very close by. Communication with host also was great. We really enjoyed our stay!
House was beautiful and being right on the river was amazing. Very clean! Excellent communication with the host as well! Would definitely stay here again!
Very nice place right on the river. Myself and 5 other guys stayed here for a golf trip weekend and was in perfect location to golf courses and other attractions. Owner replied almost instantly if we needed anything, which is a very comforting feeling. Overall great experience and would stay here again.
Perfect cozy home with a beautiful view. Kari was a great host! Celebrated Christmas early with family and this was our half way point. It was the best!!!
