Ohio River Retreat - Relax Riverside With Us

Needing a rural place to get away? This cozy 1 1/2 story, 3 bedroom, 2 bath house that sleeps 8 has a front row seat to the beauty of The Ohio River. Relax on one of our decks, relax river side by the outdoor fire pit, or watch the barge traffic from inside. The house sits within minutes of The Hoosier National Forest offering hiking / fishing and a peaceful atmosphere, 50 minutes from Holiday World, and 55 minutes from French Lick. (Pet Friendly / Strong WIFI / Gas Grill, NO WATER ACCESS)

This house offers three bedrooms and two full bathrooms. There's also a loft with a full sized futon if needed. The kitchen is fully stocked (except for food of course) for all your cooking needs. There is a second driveway on the other side of our road that is available for extra cars or to park a boat. Located about 50 minutes from Holiday World.
The front door has a code lock and you will be given your own code prior to your stay. As there is no need for anyone to let you in, you can arrive at any time. There are four spacious decks to choose from in the back of the house, each with an amazing view of the Ohio river, especially at sunrise. The lower deck has a built in fire pit that is perfect for roasting marshmallows.

Guests have access to the entire property.

To get the peaceful views like this you know you must be in a rural area. With rural comes with a bit of a drive to every where you want to go, and spotty cell phone coverage due to the large rolling hills. If rural your thing, this is the perfect get away!

Perfect Getaway
Amazing 5 days! The home was lovely! Very clean. The views were so beautiful. I have stage 4 breast cancer and the last year and a half have been difficult. This is just what the doctor ordered. My husband and I found a calmness we haven't had for a long time. We just stayed in the house the entire time to enjoy the beauty around us. Very quiet and so serene. Can't wait to rebook!

Peaceful retreat
Our third time staying at this beautiful location. Away from the sounds of the city, and congestion. Loved sitting deck watchiing the river barges, and the Ohio River. Lots of nature and took a few long walks along the river. Very rural and winding roads with hilly terrain. Larger Tell City about 25 miles from the cabin. Went there for some shopping and ate at the Patio Steakhouse. Great atmosphere, clean and a delicious lunch buffet. Thanks To Shane and his wife for providing such a lovely home for guests to enjoy

Just the ticket for a quiet, restful week. Loved watching the wildlife and river traffic! Plenty of bedrooms to stretch out. Two full baths and laundry area allowed us to make ourselves right at home.

Not what was advertised
My family and I were extremely disappointed in this rental property. For the amount of money that was spent to rent this property it was not worth the price. First off the outside appearance needed a major scrubbing and over care. The side walk leading up to the front door was extremely uneven and you could easily trip walking up to the front door. It would have been nice to have a handrail going up to the front door. T

A nice place
We enjoyed our stay at this property. It was as they described it. It was peaceful and quiet and the view of the river is great. The house was comfortable and more than adequate for the two of us and our dog. The yard is a nice size so the neighbors are not easily able to hear your outdoor conversations. The one thing we were not prepared for is there are no window coverings on the river side of the house. This means that if you choose to stay in the master bedroom your room will become light with the rising sun, because the room faces East. There is another smaller bedroom you could stay in but the bed and the room itself are smaller and the bathroom is down the hall. We would stay here again just not during the late spring to early fall timeframe. We live in EST, so the switch to CST did not help the sunrise issue, and depending on where you decide to explore the time zones can change without your realizing it. Also, as described your grocery options are miles away, so it's best to come with what you need.

Away From It All
Wanted a quiet getaway with my 80’s+ parents. Selected this particular property for that purpose. Excellent location, prime river views, quiet neighborhood, and well-appointed property. The river traffic was busy and the riverside firepit was enjoyed by all. Great stay!

If you’re looking for the perfect getaway, this is it! The view is outstanding; bring your binoculars! Three bedrooms to spread out, well equipped kitchen, and a fire pit by the Ohio River. WI-FI never let us down. Shane was always quick to respond to our communications. Easy entry and plenty of parking. Well equipped for canine members of the family. We’re already planning our return trip!

Such a great place to stay. It was absolutely gorgeous and, most importantly, Quiet!! The only bad thing was that we had to leave to get back to work. It couldn’t have been more perfect and we fully intend to make a repeat visit outside of a busy wedding weekend where we can enjoy the property to its fullest.

Awesome River Retreat
We had an fabulous time in this Magnet, IN house. The views were awesome and we really enjoyed the outdoor spaces to just sit and watch all of river traffic. The house was immaculate and had everything we needed. All appliances were high end something you don't often get in a rental unit. It was especially nice to be able to bring our 2 dogs along with us. We would definitely stay here again!!!

We would highly recommend this VRBO. Right on the Ohio River and the property has different level decks and an area with a fire ring. Very peaceful. And windows everywhere so you don't miss a thing. We would definitely stay here again. Plenty of room. The owner was amazing also and grew up in the area so very knowledgeable.
