About this property

Riverfront Home on the Ohio River, Private Dock, Hot Tub, Sleeps 8

  • Sitting on the Ohio River just outside Louisville, this three-bedroom home is built for groups and families who want to be on the water without sacrificing comfort. The bridge lights reflecting off the river at night, mornings on the deck with coffee, evenings around the fire pit while something is on the grill, it is the kind of place that fills up a weekend without any effort.

    HIGHLIGHTS

    Private dock with direct Ohio River access
    Hot tub with open river views, runs year-round
    Temperature-controlled sunroom
    Wood burning fireplace
    Sleeps 8 across three queen bedrooms
    Fire pit, outdoor grill, and seating for ten

    THE HOME

    The home spans two levels with an open layout oriented toward the water. Two queen bedrooms, the main living area, kitchen, and dining space are on the main level. A third queen bedroom, a family room, and a full bathroom are on the lower level, which opens directly to the dock and river. A temperature-controlled sunroom sits between the living areas and the outdoors, comfortable in every season and one of the most-used spaces in the house.

    MAIN LEVEL

    The main level living area is built around a wood burning fireplace, with comfortable seating, a smart TV, and a queen sofa bed for additional sleeping flexibility. The kitchen features a waterfall granite island and new appliances, fully stocked with cooking basics and everything needed for a full group meal. The dining area connects directly to the kitchen and seats the group comfortably.

    LOWER LEVEL

    The third bedroom and a family room with a fold-out couch give the group a second hangout space or overflow sleeping area, with a decorative fireplace of its own. The lower level bathroom with a shower is right there for guests coming in from the dock.

    OUTDOOR AND DOCK

    The outdoor setup is the centerpiece of the property. The private dock gives direct Ohio River access for boats, fishing, or simply sitting and watching the water. The hot tub has open river views and runs year-round. The fire pit and outdoor grill are set up for evening use, and the deck and balcony give the group room to spread out. Seating for ten keeps everyone together outside. Guests bringing boats should note the river is an active wake zone, a spring line is recommended when docking.

    FALL AND WINTER STAYS

    This property is just as strong a getaway in cooler months. The wood burning fireplace and year-round hot tub make for an easy weekend by the water even in November or December, and the sunroom stays comfortable through every season.

    LOCATION

    Located on a quiet residential stretch of the Ohio River, with downtown Louisville about 20 minutes away and Kroger just minutes from the door. Restaurants, shopping, and everyday conveniences are close by while the property itself feels removed from everything.

    GOOD TO KNOW

    The home has in-unit washer and dryer, multiple smart TVs, and a dedicated office space. The property is pet friendly with a $150 per pet per stay fee. This property has an exterior security camera at the front of the home covering the driveway and front yard, it does not cover any indoor or private spaces.

    This is the kind of stay where the group never runs out of things to do or places to be. The water handles most of it.

This is the kind of home I always look for when I travel, but rarely find. I like a lot of ventilation and a peaceful, picturesque location. This house checked those boxes and is definitely in my list of favorite spots where I've stayed. Staying here helped my trip feel less like just a trip and more like a vacation.

This was a wonderful space for our family of four. We had our own space and plenty of spaces to do things together. My son spent most of his time on the dock and the rest of us spent most of our time in the fantastic sun room!! Everything was very clean, perfect temps (rooms and hot tub!!) and accessible. The kitchen had everything we needed. This host made a quick getaway feel like we were at home the whole time.

Stunning!!

This home has it all and I slept in the sunroom on the porch couch just to watch and hear the river traffic, and that was the best rest ever and can’t wait to go back. It’s got river features that come with the territory but look past that and you too will enjoy every minute here in paradise.

Amazing Host & Amazing Stay

We went for a mother daughter group trip plus some of our pups and this stay was perfect! The host was so kind and accommodating. Loved that 4-seasons room with the view. Also just sat at the end of the dock during a gorgeous day and chatted with my Mom. Reading the history about the home was fascinating as well. Thank you and thank you for sharing!

Wonderful spot for our first trip to Louisville

The house had plenty of space from our family of 4. The proximity to downtown (about 20 minutes )was perfect but still gave us the feel of being a little way from it all. There were deer running around which was a beautiful sight. The view of the river was spectacular. My husband and I spent every morning bring having our coffee on the enclosed patio . The family enjoyed the hot tub and having our own space when we needed. Would definitely recommend and stay again!

The home was really nice, clean, comfortable, welcoming. But the view was AMAZING! I sat on the sun porch all day and most of the night. We watched barges float past, and I could not take my eyes off the bridge. We had a truly peaceful time. Thank you for allowing us into your home.

Nice location on the river

We were a group of 7 family members, all above the age of 62, ranging to 87! We loved the location and the screened in porch and lower patio with hot tub, and enjoyed watching the river traffic! We lucked out with unseasonably cool weather! Kari, our host, was very responsive and came to the house to remedy the few problems that we encountered! The house is a bit old and has a very cramped and not very well stocked (in terms of cookware) kitchen, however, it worked and we were able to do a lot of cooking! Thoroughly enjoyable stay!

We had a wonderful time. Louisville has a lot of offer. From children activites to Bourban trail. Was a great mix for a family. The property was everything we could hope for. Older chsrming home. With a lot of history. Updated with amenties and charm. The view is unmatched. Loved watching the boats and rover traffic. Kari was a wondeful host and very helpful. We would def stay again!

Great views!

Beautiful setting beside river. Feels remote but it is very close to grocery store and restaurants. Downtown Louisville was only a few minutes down scenic drive of River road. We saw tons of deer around house and in neighborhood. However, it may feel too remote for ladies traveling alone. Great view of bridge but a lot of traffic noise when outside. Lower bathroom very small. Not suitable for kids or those with stability issues due to stairs inside and out. Kitchen and outside areas could use a little TLC. An overall good place that could be great with a few tweaks.
