Charming Ohio River Home with Water Views & Porch!

Your relaxing river days await at this charming 2-bedroom, 2-bath Cave-In-Rock vacation rental house, nestled right across the street from the serene Ohio River! Spend your days fishing, swimming, or visiting the nearby Cave In Rock State Park, Shawnee National Forest, or vineyards! With a sitting area in the back, front porch, and accommodations for 6, this home is the perfect destination for families and friends looking for a charming place to stay in a serene river setting!

-- THE PROPERTY --

Bedroom 1: Queen Bed | Bedroom 2: Full Bed | Den: Queen Sleeper Sofa

Beautiful views of the Ohio River lead the way to this charming Cave-In-Rock-home. Head inside to unpack, where you’ll be greeted with 1,700 square feet of well-appointed living space, vintage decor, and all the comforts of home!

Inside, the open layout seamlessly connects the living, kitchen, and dining areas. Long-view windows at the front of the home provide river views to enjoy. Lounge back on the couch in the living area with your favorite book while the group’s chef prepares meals in a fully equipped kitchen.

On a cold evening, cozy up to the gas log fireplace for some warmth.

Come nighttime, everyone in your travel group will find a comfy place to spend the night, whether you’ve claimed one of the two cozy bedrooms or the den with the queen sleeper sofa.

Beautiful home on the Ohio River
This house exceeded my expectations. From the amazing decor to the relaxing porch overlooking the river this was definitely a 10/10. A short drive to the Garden of the Gods made this a perfect base for hiking in the eastern Shawnee.

Great gem!
Beautiful home with lovely accents and unique furnishings! Well stocked kitchen too. Super close drive to Cave In Rock state park, and only about 30 minutes to Garden of the Gods. Some very cool/unique homes nearby so it was fun walking around the neighborhood & checking it out. Would definitely stay again!

Perfect for us
Our goal was to do some early spring birding. We had easy access to Cave-in-Rock SP where we successfully logged 40 species. It was fun to take the ferry across the river and drive to Land Between the Lakes: 54 species there. The house was charming, super clean and well equipped. As you can see from all the stars. We highly recommend!

Very Welcoming
We booked to come down for a family event and couldn’t have asked for a better place. With very few options in the area, this home exceeded our expectations. Due to being in the area for a family funeral, the host did allow us to have our family over. It was so nice to have such a lovely, cozy, place that our family could gather to just be together. Everything was exceptionally clean. We would definitely book it again and plan to come back the next time we need to be in the area.

Great place to stay
This completely furnished Ohio river view bungalow was a pleasure to stay in. This house had everything you could need for a visit. Everything in the house was comfortable. The host was very accommodating and provided information on everything in the area. We brought our motorcycles and found plenty of back roads to cruise on. There is a lot of history in the area.

Host stopped by to make sure we were comfortable and made a personal connection. We loved the cottage - so clean and cozy with plenty of room for the four of us. Front porch overlooking the Ohio River was breathtaking. The birds were fabulous too! We'll be back!

Beautiful tranquil retreat
This is a quiet, very well appointed house in a nice neighborhood, walking distance to the river, a playground, and 5min from Cave-in-Rock State Park. It was very clean and nicely decorated with all the amenities you might need. We wish we could have stayed longer!

So clean and comfortable! The decor is so charming, everywhere you look is something interesting and beautiful. We loved how close it was for hiking cave in the rock and garden of the gods. We would come back in the evening and enjoy sitting on the porch, sipping our wine and watching the butterflies on the garden flowers. We brought our own food and drinks. Everything you would ever need to cook is in the kitchen. The fridge had filtered water in it. The towels and bedding were top notch. Worked perfect for our hiking then relax weekend. Highly recommend.

Small town charm with an amazing view
Property is perfect for unwinding and slowing down the pace. The owners and neighbors were so welcoming and helpful. If you are into birding, this place is for you. I never wanted to leave the front porch. Even got to see an eagle. Property is so beautiful and decorated with such character. We will be back.

Good location, nice space
Property was as described and we found location to work well for visiting Shawnee. The house was overall clean (plenty of linens, etc) but we did had a pretty strong perfumed fragrance upon arrival (not sure if cleaning supplies or air fresheners?), it dissipated after first few days. Kitchen is spacious with nice appliances and has most everything (suggestions to add include cutting board, cookie sheet, measuring cups). Thank you!
