Great for our family of 16. Basically everything that you need is supplied. Enjoyed the swimming pool, fishing pond, and fire pit
We had a great time fishing and hiking the area. The locals were all friendly and you could watch the moon rise over the Ohio River from the backyard. The owner was very helpful and the property had everything we needed to have a relaxing trip. We will definitely be returning.
I highly recommend this property in Derby, Indiana, for a family getaway. The combination of stunning river views, the fire pit for roasting marshmallows, and the ability to fly kites make it an excellent choice. Furthermore, the cleanliness of the farmhouse is impressive, and you can feel confident that your family will have a comfortable and relaxing stay.
This was our families second time to stay at Martin Ridge. We love it here. Something for everyone, pool, fishing wonderful surroundings. The house was immaculate and it is equipped with everything you would have in your home. Joanne and her family are wonderful hosts. Met her grandsons and they are polite, respectful and wonderful boys. Already booked for next year!
Beautiful home, beautiful view of the Ohio River. (Especially at dawn) There were 18 of us. We grilled, played games, flew kites. Everyone had a wonderful family weekend together!
The location and atmosphere couldn’t have been better. Seven men came together for our annual retreat. The space is beautiful and spiritual. We ate, drank, walked and sat by the fire. The view of the forest and river make this a unique and special place. We hope to come back again,
He had a lovely stay, we had beautiful views and ample space. We really enjoyed our stay. We were able to go to another property the owner had to see the eclipse, since this home was at 99% totality. Joann when above and beyond and we have already discussed coming back.
We couldn't see house numbers on the home and it took us a minute to find the rental.
Very private and peaceful location. The views were much better than expected. The hostess stocked the kitchen with paper tableware and even plastic silverware. Unexpected but much appreciated. Well stocked kitchen. Very clean and spacious.
The rental was great. Plenty of space for our family reunion dinner. We enjoyed the Ohio river view, and we had one evening at the fire pit for a marshmallow roast. The pool was closed (seasonal). A few tried the fishing pond out, and some of us walked around the property. Check in was great and the host always responded quickly. Everyone loved it.
This is our 2nd time staying here. The first was exactly 2 years ago. We LOVE the home, the pool, pond and the owners & the location!! I will recommend this to everyone!! The little Derby general store and the gas station was perfect along with the family dinning bar/restaurant! We could ride our rangers everywhere and it’s only about 40 minutes to Holiday World which we did spend a day at. THANK YOU so much for allowing us to spend another week at your property!!
First off, one cannot say enough about the views. Gorgeous. The home itself had excellent views from many rooms. Watching the barges on the river and the cows in the field was wonderful. Everyone in our group had a bed and we made two bathrooms work. The home was clean and the kitchen had everything we needed. The host was communicative from the very beginning. We all (a group of college friends) said we would be happy to stay there again sometime.
This stay was the breath of fresh air my family needed. We gave the kids a good old fashion summer vacation with fishing, swimming, flying kites, cooking smores over an open bon fire, hiking, creeking, and exploring/appreciating the outdoors. We loved seeing the cows and taking walks along the roads where beautiful flowers bloomed! Check in was easy and the hosts were wonderful. The house was enormous with plenty of sleeping options and all the amenities that we needed to make our stay comfortable and easy. We hope to come back with an even bigger group to share the experience with next time!
If we were any closer to Holiday World, we would have been in the parking lot! This location is excellent. While we walked over sometimes, it was also easy for a driver to take a group over and drop them off at the front. The kitchen had all we needed, including choices of coffee makers. My husband and I took our children and grandchildren, and there was a total of 12. We loved the big table and the big living room. While we opted not to sleep on the pull out bed, we put the Ottoman together with the sectional, and had a wonderful queen bed. Everything was very clean, and having 2 washers and 2 dryers (free) in the little building right next door was perfect. Thanks again for your beautiful place and I think we will be renting again!
