The porch overlooking the Ohio River was an awesome feature and we enjoyed our coffee while waiting for the sunrise and listening to the water flow by. The houses are very private at the end of Water Street. Dan, the manager was very hospitable and called prior to our check in to go over the details and make recommendations about the local color. The outside of the buildings need a little TLC, but when you go inside, you forget all about that. The place was charming and definitely a place to disconnect and unwind. ##### Verified traveller Stayed 1 night in Dec 2018 ### 8/10 Good #### Al Nov 12, 2018 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### Great Shawnee National Forest Location Perfect location for visiting many of the Shawnee sites. They've done a great job filling the house with period furniture. Very homey. We visited the first week of November and the fall colors were fabulous. It would be great to visit in warmer weather and enjoy the river view from the screened in porch. ##### Al Stayed 2 nights in Nov 2018 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Monti, Belleville, Illinois Oct 30, 2018 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort My husband and I love staying here. This year we brought our son and daughter-in-law as well. The house is unique and perfect for a quiet family getaway. We enjoyed being able to go off the grid and spend time together as a family to reconnect. We'll definitely be back! ##### Monti Stayed 1 night in Oct 2018 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Verified traveller Oct 29, 2018 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort Everthing was perfect.......thanks you very much. ##### Verified traveller Stayed 1 night in Oct 2018 ### 4/10 Poor #### Shrimpfest, Illinois Sep 20, 2018 Liked: Cleanliness, property conditions & facilities Disliked: Room comfort The history of the houses is very interesting although the representation on the internet is decieving. There is no relaxing hot tub to enjoy the beautiful view of tbe Ohio river as was stated in the add on the internet at time if booking. And the air conditioning quit in the middlr of the afternoon and night. There are 5 names to call if you have trouble checking in or with your stay. After an hour of attempts both calling and texting one person respinded by coming by. Thanks Tyler he just couldnt do anything about the issues. There is a hit tub in house #2 it just hasnt worked for sometime and they havent bother to fix it or remove it. I was told it is being removed from the advertisement online.we were very dissapointed. We drove 3.5 hours to celebrate our friends anniversary in a hot tub that wasnt there. You can view the one on house number 2s porch but it doesnt work. I guess you could set in it with no water and watch the river go by. I had to clean grass away from the coils on AC unit and reset thermostat to make it work twice. The upstairs bedrooms were so hot you could bare to sleep in them. We all moved down stairs at 1a.m. to get relief. Buyer beware! ##### Shrimpfest Stayed 1 night in Sep 2018 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Verified traveller Sep 4, 2018 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### Amazing house on the hill overlooking river The house is located in a beautiful and serene place. This was such a perfect stay and I wish we could have stayed longer. It was decorated in antique style. We never got to see the host but he was very communicative. House was very clean from inside but could have used more cleaning out in the porch. Will definitely try to return next summer. I wonder why it doesn't have more 5 star reviews. ##### Verified traveller Stayed 1 night in Sep 2018 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Verified traveller Jul 29, 2018 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort Our favorite place to stay each year in Golconda. Always clean and staff is extremely courteous. ##### Verified traveller Stayed 2 nights in Jul 2018 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Verified traveller Jun 18, 2018 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### Great view over the Ohio The house is lovely and has all we needed to make a meal. the screened in porch overlooking the river is fabulous. That is where we spent our time. BUT no internet. Had to go to a bar to get a connection. No service for SPRINT in the entire area. that part is not the owner's fault. ##### Verified traveller Stayed 1 night in Jun 2018 ### 8/10 Good #### Loretta, Westminster, Colorado Dec 5, 2017 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### First time experience Our stay was during Thanksgiving. It was biting cold, foggy & quite different from home. We were able to cook & enjoy tv. This was a very different experience from staying in a hotel. ##### Loretta Stayed 7 nights in Nov 2017 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Beth Oct 15, 2017 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities #### Peaceful escape My husband and I stayed in house #4. Despite the somewhat run down exterior, the inside of the house was a pleasant surprise. It was very clean and cozy. A major highlight was the screen porch where we enjoyed the peaceful river view while having coffee in the mornings. The people from the management office were very friendly and accommodating and offered tips for restaurants and things to do. Golconda is a short drive to Shawnee National Forest which offers amazing hiking. The only real negatives were that the bed was very hard and there could be a sign or two directing guests to the properties as they're pretty secluded. A very good experience overall. We've already recommended it to family. ##### Beth Stayed 2 nights in Oct 2017 ### 6/10 Okay #### Verified traveller Jul 1, 2019 Liked: Amenities Disliked: Property conditions & facilities ##### Verified traveller Stayed 2 nights in Jun 2019 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Verified traveller Mar 24, 2019 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities ##### Verified traveller Stayed 2 nights in Mar 2019 ## Expedia's Latest Trends ### Hotels > [Silver Reef Casino Resort](https://www.expedia.ca/Bellingham-Hotels-Silver-Reef-Casino-Resort.h16231932.Hotel-Information) > > [Seneca Allegany Resort & Casino](https://www.expedia.ca/Salamanca-Hotels-Seneca-Allegany-Resort-Casino.h2238839.Hotel-Information) > > [Canad Inns Destination Center Grand Forks](https://www.expedia.ca/Grand-Forks-Hotels-Canad-Inns-Destination-Center-Grand-Forks.h1713856.Hotel-Information) > > [C'mon Inn Hotel & Suites](https://www.expedia.ca/Grand-Forks-Hotels-Cmon-Inn-Hotel-Suites.h1510580.Hotel-Information) > > [Six Flags Great Escape Lodge & Indoor Waterpark](https://www.expedia.ca/Lake-George-Hotels-Six-Flags-Lodge-Indoor-Waterpark.h1385446.Hotel-Information) > > [Darien Lake Lodge on the Lake](https://www.expedia.ca/Corfu-Hotels-Darien-Lake-Lodge-On-The-Lake.h13279584.Hotel-Information) > > [La Quinta Resort & Club, Curio Collection by Hilton](https://www.expedia.ca/Palm-Springs-Hotels-La-Quinta-Resort-Club.h10916.Hotel-Information) > > [The Brook at Turning Stone Resort Casino](https://www.expedia.ca/Utica-Hotels-Turning-Stone-Resort-And-Casino.h1684407.Hotel-Information) > > [Bavarian Inn of Frankenmuth](https://www.expedia.ca/Saginaw-Hotels-Bavarian-Inn-Of-Frankenmuth.h9809515.Hotel-Information) > > [Luxurious Otter Pointe](https://www.expedia.ca/Girard-Hotels-Luxurious-Otter-Pointe.h33004397.Hotel-Information) > > [Isla Bella Beach Resort & Spa](https://www.expedia.ca/Marathon-Hotels-Isla-Bella-Beach-Resort-Spa.h24101706.Hotel-Information) > > [The Westin Desert Willow Villas, Palm Desert](https://www.expedia.ca/Palm-Springs-Hotels-The-Westin-Desert-Willow-Villas.h3304313.Hotel-Information) > > [Hyatt Vacation Club at Desert Oasis](https://www.expedia.ca/Palm-Springs-Hotels-Welk-Resorts-Palm-Springs.h1140793.Hotel-Information) > > [Riviera Resort Palm Springs](https://www.expedia.ca/Palm-Springs-Hotels-Margaritaville-Resort-Palm-Springs.h26011.Hotel-Information) > > [Hilton Grand Vacations Club Kings’ Land Waikoloa](https://www.expedia.ca/Waikoloa-Hotels-Kings-Land-By-Hilton-Grand-Vacations.h2303745.Hotel-Information) > > [Fairmont Orchid](https://www.expedia.ca/Kamuela-Hotels-Fairmont-Orchid.h25190.Hotel-Information) > > [The Trail in Adams - Berkshires’ Art Hotel](https://www.expedia.ca/Adams-Hotels-Topia-Inn-An-Organic-Oasis.h12259511.Hotel-Information) > > [The Breakers Palm Beach](https://www.expedia.ca/Palm-Beach-Hotels-The-Breakers-Palm-Beach.h8479.Hotel-Information) > > [Hilton Waikoloa Village](https://www.expedia.ca/Waikoloa-Hotels-Hilton-Waikoloa-Village.h19640.Hotel-Information) > > [Angel Of The Winds Casino Resort](https://www.expedia.ca/Everett-Hotels-Angel-Of-The-Winds-Casino-Resort.h9689970.Hotel-Information) > > [Akwesasne Mohawk Casino Resort and Players Inn](https://www.expedia.ca/Hogansburg-Hotels-Akwesasne-Mohawk-Casino-Resort.h6009138.Hotel-Information) > > [Harrah’s Laughlin - A Caesars Rewards Destination](https://www.expedia.ca/Laughlin-Hotels-Harrahs-Laughlin-Hotel-Casino.h43310.Hotel-Information) > > [Shooting Star Casino & Hotel](https://www.expedia.ca/Thief-River-Falls-Hotels-Shooting-Star-Casino-Hotel.h28874246.Hotel-Information) > > [Tulalip Resort Casino](https://www.expedia.ca/Everett-Hotels-Tulalip-Resort-Casino.h2161524.Hotel-Information) > > [JW Marriott Desert Springs Resort & Spa](https://www.expedia.ca/Palm-Springs-Hotels-JW-Marriott-Desert-Springs-Resort-Spa.h17123.Hotel-Information) > > [Great Wolf Lodge Sandusky OH](https://www.expedia.ca/Sandusky-Hotels-Great-Wolf-Lodge-Sandusky-OH.h1183594.Hotel-Information) > > [I Hotel And Illinois Conference Center](https://www.expedia.ca/Champaign-Hotels-I-Hotel-And-Conference-Center.h1897350.Hotel-Information) > > [Marriott's Shadow Ridge I-The Villages](https://www.expedia.ca/Palm-Springs-Hotels-Marriotts-Shadow-Ridge.h853695.Hotel-Information) > > [Semiahmoo Resort Golf & Spa, Trademark Collection by Wyndham](https://www.expedia.ca/Bellingham-Hotels-Semiahmoo-Resort-Golf-Spa.h13986.Hotel-Information)
