From the spacious and modern comfort of the Lookout, to the historic warmth of The Heist, your larger group can spread out across 2 homes, on nearly 3 private, waterfront acres. This fully restored and professionally designed, riverfront property includes - 2 homes (The Lookout AND the Heist), 2 firepits, premium hot tub, direct river access with kayak launch and rack, large park-like grounds, screened porches, BBQ grills, gourmet kitchens and so much more! Located directly on the majestic Little Miami River, surrounded by wooded hillsides, and a natural wellspring-fed creek, this is the ideal setting for both relaxation & fun for all ages. You'll fall in love with the expansive grounds, the fire pits surrounded by adirondack chairs, & sweeping river views, as well as over 300 ft of private shoreline to wade out in pristine waters, cast a line and snag a smallmouth, or easily launch a kayak for a lazy float trip with friends. If unlimited options for ‘unplugged’ family fun (without having to drive anywhere) is what you’ve been seeking, The Watershed delivers like no other vacation retreat! Tune in to nature’s soundtrack of rustling leaves, clear, rushing creek water, and excited shouts of discovery from the kids, when they spot their first salamander, crawdad…or maybe even an arrowhead! Enjoy your morning coffee by the water, watching the bald eagles soar through the Sycamore trees, or unwind with an evening glass of wine on the comfy rockers of the private decks, or the comfy bench swing on the giant, wrap-around screened porch. Soak up the scenery and ease your tired muscles, while relaxing in the new, premium hot tub. Share old memories and make new ones over some toasty s’mores around the campfire and fall asleep to a free nightly symphony, compliments of the crickets and bullfrogs in the distance . If it gets a little cold or rainy, come inside and choose a board game, work a jigsaw puzzle, play a retro 2-player arcade video game, or watch a family movie on one of the giant flat screens. Rested & Relaxed, it’s time to venture into downtown Loveland! While you may feel removed from it all, just remember that all of Loveland’s modern conveniences are just a short ride away - luxury restaurants, micro breweries, quaint boutiques, cold (adult!) beverages. Plus, quick trips to the grocery store or a great local pizza or Mexican restaurant are less than a 5 minute drive from the house! Parking is super convenient - plenty of room to park 4 vehicles in the upper driveway, plus ample parking just steps away, along the driveway of the lower grounds. While there are plenty of kayak and canoe outfitters to host your float trip, you are welcome to bring your own 'yaks and rack 'em on our private riverside rack. There are TWO large fire pits, surrounded by adirondack chairs, to cozy up on cool nights. No worries if you didn't earn your 'firestarter badge' - an ample, dry firewood supply is stacked near both firepits, along with firestarter logs and lighters, as well as s'mores roasting forks inside the house. Fun Fact 1: 'The Heist' isn't just a cutesy name. This cabin, built in 1860, earned its place in Cincinnati lore for its role in a famous Rembrandt art heist (gone wrong); this 'Keystone Cops'-style caper started in 1973, at The Taft Art Museum and ended under the front porch of this cabin! Fun Fact 2: Nearly every guest has commented on how unbelievably comfortable all of the beds and pillows are – no worries about getting a great night of sleep!
