Weekend get away
We really enjoyed our stay! The property is extremely clean. The bungalow is somewhat dated but charming. We came for the view and it did not disappoint!! A very quiet, peaceful and relaxing property ❤️
This property is ideal for a secluded getaway. It sits over 100 ft above the Ohio River with an astonishing view, yet nestled under shade trees, an outdoor fire pit, and stretches of hearing no sounds caused by humans (though their are other cabins there as well), just the cows in the distance, a heron flying overhead, owls and birds. My wife and I went to Garden of the Gods, and quaint towns in the area. We loved it!
When you want a quiet getaway, this is a great choice. Beautiful views too!

Breathtaking view of the Ohio River!
I was looking for a place to stay to “get away from it all” and this was THE PERFECT place for me! It is a simple, VERY clean bungalow on the river!
The decor is a tad dated, but the cleanliness is what was important, and they have taken great care there!
My stay was geared around nature, and peacefulness. Thats just what I got! Bonus: Only 20min drive to Garden of the Gods, for hiking! Be sure to take what you need as far as food etc., the closest town with a small store and gas station was about 15min away, but it’s worth the visit. No doubt about it. I wil be back!

Cottage stay
I contacted the owner the night before my stay. She was so helpful and so kind. She gave me a lot of great tips about places to go visit and things to see while I was there. She left me a map and a note. She was so kind to talk with, I loved my time there. It was perfect.
