May 21, 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Relaxing stay in beautiful community The location was amazing. We come for the Creation Museum and it was a short drive from the house. We loved that a park was just a couple of blocks away from the home and the kids loved playing there in the evening. The area was very walkable and it was fun walking to the view the river sunsets. Would recommend for families for sure. ##### Brian M. Stayed 4 nights in May 2025 ### 8/10 Good #### Julee C.

Plenty of room. Great amenities. The town is small but a nice place to walk. The home is right near the Ohio River. Beautiful view. Furniture is a little older and not the most comfortable for sitting. That's about the only needed improvement. ##### Steve F. Stayed 3 nights in Oct 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Mike S.

There was plenty of living space, yard space, quiet streets to walk, and so many extras that we appreciated. The beds were comfortable, hangers were in the closet, shampoo & body wash in the shower, plenty of pots, pans, and kitchen appliances along with common spices/seasonings, games, & movies. If we had occasion to revisit the area, I wouldn’t hesitate one bit to stay here again. It was lovely. ##### LAURETTA S. Stayed 4 nights in Sep 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### anita m.
