Quite, peaceful, and perfect!

Needed a break from the business of life. Needed a place with no distractions and the noise was silenced. A place to just do nothing. A place to just relax and reset. It was perfect!

Beautiful property - rolling hills, mature trees, right on the Ohio River! Porch facing the parking area and a large porch with hot tub facing the river. It was a gorgeous view.

Time in nature

The cabin is in a beautiful area with hiking near by. It felt very private and had everything we needed for a weekend away. The kitchen was great to cook in and the bed was surprisingly comfortable. If you have a low profile car, go extraordinarily slow on the gravel driveway. There is also almost no cell signal, so keep that in mind if you need to keep in contact with anyone.

My husband and I had a wonderful experience at utopia Cabin. Everything was excellent. The pictures do not do this cabin justice. The cabin, the views, the location are incredible. Highly recommended for nature lovers. The hot tub was wonderful. We will definitely return.

Restful and relaxing

Much needed restful weekend getaway with my husband. If you’re looking for seclusion, you’ll find it here. So Peaceful - literally only heard nature sounds for our 3 day stay. If you need entertainment, bring your own - with no WI-FI and only a few channels on TV, you’d be wise to bring cards, board games, DVDs, etc. Cannelton was a fun little town to explore. We also enjoyed a few local eateries, wineries, and antique shops.
