It's nice to have such a tranquil, well appointment lodging options just steps from downtown. The view is amazing, and the covered deck is nice for enjoying the views.

We rented this house to visit Owensboro for a family reunion. Words cannot describe how much we enjoyed staying in this lovely house, The décor was fabulous, the furnishings comfortable, the view of the river fantastic. We cannot wait to visit again.

Beautiful gem on the river

This was our second time staying at this gem of a property. The house is very nice and has a fantastic view of the Ohio River and downtown Owensboro. It’s just a short walk to downtown where there are plenty of restaurants and little shops to keep you busy.

Amazing view, quiet neighborhood

I chose this property for the river view, but it is also very quaint and comfortable . Very clean and well appointed. Comes with a family of foxes that play on the bank of the river.

So perfect!

I’ve been in many VRBO‘s but this one was the best by the pictures I was skeptical as they do not do justice to this beautiful home we were right on the river and the view was fantastic Brenda was a wonderful host and even came to see if we needed anything else I will definitely book here again I loved seeing the foxes in the morning and the birds sang all day long such tranquility !

Dog friendly river view

We had a great time at the river house. All went smoothly. This house has an extraordinarily beautiful view of the Ohio River and the lighted bridge. The yard and the deck are terrific. The house is very well supplied and has good comfortable living room furniture. It is dog friendly including tie outs in the yard. We always enjoy our trips to Owensboro.

Nice view of the Ohio! Served it’s purpose for a neutral gathering place for our family

This house was comfortable & spacious enough to spend time with our family. Not having an oven was a HUGE disappointment as we were celebrating thanksgiving there with family. Not sure why there was a very strong “dog poo” smell on the deck since we didn’t not bring animals? Overall-we enjoyed our stay & the home owner was very accommodating & quick to respond to our questions!

Riverhouse review

Property is right on the Ohio River with an impressive, unobstructed view. Mentioned to the owner that one mattress was worn out and she said she would order a new one. A few oddities, but not deal breakers: no national tv channels available on the otherwise nice flat screen tv's, no oven and there were Alexa's, or some similar "listening" devices in the bedrooms. I don't have those and wondered about them, as there were no instructions.

Incredible home on the Ohio River - You won't be disappointed.

This property was amazing. Three nicely sized bedrooms, and an incredible (large) covered porch overlooking the Ohio River. You can see a little bit of downtown Owensboro. We ate several meals on the porch (very comfortable patio furniture with a nice table) and greatly enjoyed sitting around the firepit each night watching the occasional barge go by. It's close enough to downtown to walk (A little under a mile) where you'll find an incredible riverfront park (great play area for kids). Yet it's far enough from the hustle and bustle that you can enjoy the peace and quiet while enjoying the beautiful view. We're self-declared nerds, so a quick tech review. The internet was plenty fast (100M down/10M up). There were TV's in 2 of the bedrooms and a nice large TV in living room which accepted both AirPlay and Chromecast, and had quite a few apps (Netflix, Vudu, Amazon Prime, etc...). The WiFi range was fantastic - they have several WiFi routers spread throughout the home that allowed us to have full bars everywhere in the house and in the backyard. We look forward to going back next year.

RELAXING Home!

Maybe we’re weird but sitting in the yard or on the deck watching barges cruise by is relaxing to us. The backyard is fenced. Our dog kept wanting to go under the deck. Last time we were here…06/2021…we let her. This time we didn’t. Late at night we’ve had a fox, groundhog and raccoon visit. MANY birds during the day. The Purple Martins from next door remove almost every flying insect. Last time a fox stole a dog toy. ( I always take cameras to any house we rent, for security.) The home is .69 miles from Mellow Mushroom pizza…my personal favorite since living in Atlanta in 1975. There are SEVERAL parks. Owensboro has performed a great public service with its dedication to various parks. There’s even a park on the river less than a mile due west AND east. They also have done a great job of setting up the infrastructure for booths for various events downtown. You can walk downtown in ten minutes or bike there in two. The area around town is almost dead flat. The people we’ve encountered are very nice. We’ve discussed the possibility of moving there. The downtown river park has a constant stream of 70’s to 90’s music playing on a plethora of speakers. The kitchen is very well stocked. There’s a grill outside. The bridge to the east has changing LED lights at night. I feel like if I look up the word ‘relaxing’ I’ll see a picture of this house. The only negative is the cleaning service could improve the house a lot just by vacuuming under the beds

AVOID! River House is Unacceptable

I've stayed at a lot of short-term rentals and am a host of vacation property myself. This "River House" is completely unacceptable. No oven, dim lighting, lack of cleanliness, inoperable dishwasher, broken/dismantled smoke detectors, exterior door lock not working properly, downright rude communications by Brenda, our so-called "host" -- not to mention the bait-and-switch pricing practice of promising a 10% discount for a stay longer than 10 days and then not actually doing a discount but rather blaming VRBO, plus adding a $100 electricity charge and other mystery charges AFTER you book this property. If you rent this property after reading this review, all I can say is "buyer beware" -- you were warned. To top off this one-star review, Brenda accused me of stealing a toaster oven! And breaking the dishwasher! And dinged me for exiting the house at 10:35 am rather than 10 sharp!

Good view of river, had an extra charge for use of electric. What ever fruit falling from trees created a bad odor. Nice fenced yard, and pet friendly. Need to bring your own coffee, none provided, use of light switches awkward

Excellent communication!

Our trip definitely didn't go as originally planned and changed even as we arrived. We had to change our lodging at the last minute and Brenda was amazing to accommodate us on short notice. My kids were suppose to be staying with their dad but ended up not being able to, we all were very comfortable in this home. My dog was suppose to stay home but ended up having to come with me (my reason for last minute change of lodging) and it was so nice to have a place I knew he was welcomed! Brenda even asked if he was enjoying his stay as well, that meant so much! We will definitely be staying here again in the future!

Very Serene

From check in to check out everything went smoothly. The house was easy to find and the house was exactly as described. We spent most of our time on the porch overlooking the river. The bridge was lit up at night that made it so relaxing. The only thing I would have to say about the house is it needs brighter lighting, couldn’t operate the TVs in the bedrooms and there’s no stove. It didn’t interfere with our stay just a suggestion for the future. I would definitely stay again! We loved it!

Wonderful setting on the Ohio River

Our stay was really relaxing. The view was amazing and it was very peaceful. The house is laid out to facilitate connection and conversation, and there was something for everyone! the backyard was also really beautiful with flowers, and hanging out on the deck enjoying bar-b-que and seeing the bridge at night was incredible. Brenda is a super host--very responsive, friendly, and available to help in any way. Thanks so much, Brenda!
