Relaxing Getaway

We enjoyed this property, the grounds and hot tub. I wish there was clarity that the riverfront space across the street is shared with the neighboring property, also a VRBO with the same owner.

Gettaway

Grounds were wonderful....plenty of space. However, property is in front of busy road It may help to mention that if traveling w/kids & fur babes to be cautious of that...just remain in back of cabin where there's another enclosed back porch and plenty of greenspace

Nice and cozy

Great place, beautiful location. The stairs are somewhat dangerous, I took a spill, but old houses were built that way. 9.5/10

Perfect location and amenities

First, communication was friendly and helpful. Quick response time. The grounds, the land, views, river, etc. were gorgeous, I can only imagine how beautiful it is during the spring and summer months. Hot tub was very clean, house was too. Awesome porches, yes two. Plenty of stuff to do around the property and inside the house itself.

An Amazing Get Away!

I couldnt possibly summarize all of the amazing things about our stay here. Drew and Ingrid were phenomenal host, communicated quickly and were a pleasure to work with. The cabin was an absolute dream. Weather its a small family stay or a romantic getaway, this place is perfect. It was clean, had everything for a short or an extended stay. Even if you live in Cincy and want a romantic getaway close to home, this is the spot for you! There is almost no traffic, great views and sounds of nature and almost reminds me of hocking hills!
