Charming little house on the Kentucky River

Nestled in the 400 ft cliffs of the Palisades-one of the top places to see in Kentucky! Enjoy nearby historic sites, distilleries, horses, nature, river activities & more! Comfortable one bedroom surrounded by the river and inspiring natural beauty.

There is a queen bed in the separate bedroom, queen futon in the great room, and 2 twin beds in the loft. Ample room for 6 people. Access to the bathroom is through the bedroom. Full sized washer and dryer, bathroom with tub & shower combo.

Kitchen has microwave, full-size refrigerator, apartment sized stove/oven, basic utensils, dishes, pots & pans, coffee maker,. 2 slice toaster, George Foreman grill, bullet and full sized blenders. Very functional set up.

Outside chairs and picnic table for enjoying the river views and cookouts. Propane grill, charcoal park grill, and stone fire pit. Read or relax and unwind surrounded by nature, with the peaceful sounds of the river and waterfall.

Electric mini split air conditioner/heat. Extra baseboard heat when temperatures are very low, and non-vented propane gas fireplace.

Smart TV with antenna receives about 25 channels, BluRay player, bluetooth speaker. There is no dish or wifi, but 4G available for most cell carriers & hotspot. Video library, books and board games available. Suggest downloading movies and games to laptop prior to arrival & connecting via HDMI cable, otherwise could experience buffering issues.

You will have the entire area to yourself. Owners will not be present during your stay unless called.

You will be submersed in the high cliffs of the Palisades near the Brooklyn Bridge. The area is quiet with a neighbor on one side and woods on the other. Great views of the river from the house and back porch.

Peaceful

The instructions were perfect!! The view was amazing!! The place was clean and well stocked so if you forgot something, it’s probably there. Whoever this property is really cares about your stay. Loved the local channels with the antenna. Lots of DVD movies to choose from. I can’t wait to book my next trip.

Sweet little river bungalow!

We lived our stay, enjoying the back deck that overlooks the river every night! We had visits from red cardinals, blue jays, owls, and deer! The little house was perfect for our small crew.

Lovely Little Spot

We just adored this property. It’s cozy and inviting. The host thoughtfully supplies the basic necessities in case you forget anything. The home has a number of sweet touches that just make it a charming place to spend time. Checkin instructions were easy to understand and directions were accurate. The host is very responsive. We would definitely stay again.

Cute house in the Woods on the river

This little house was perfect for our family of 4. Our girls slept upstairs in the loft. The house has just about any supplies that you might have forgotten so we definitely appreciated that. We had a variety of meals and used the gas grill for hot dogs and burgers. Communication with the host was quick and helpful. My daughter even added to the fairy garden in the front. the fain the front.

Great cabin

We loved our stay at this cabin. We liked the remote location, however we are glad we brought our truck. We were shocked about how fully stocked the cabin was. They had everything that you would need. We would definitely stay here again.

Our family of 3 enjoyed exploring the area and cozy nights in the tiny house. Weather caused us to shorten our stay, but the time we spent was very pleasant. We hope to return in the spring.

Cozy, Quaint & Clean

Nice getaway spot! We didn’t have quite the view of the river as pictured on VRBO (area was a bit overgrown) but we still enjoyed relaxing on the back porch taking in the surroundings. If you happened to forgot anything (toiletries, sunscreen, etc) chances are this host provided it! Very thoughtful. House is well supplied with kitchen necessities, games, movies & resources for things to do in the area. Even though there is no WIFI, as host stated, we were able to watch tv with the antenna. It is a very peaceful location and an enjoyable stay.

Quiet Retreat

We enjoyed our stay. We were in town for a graduation and it was perfect for our family and close to Asbury. There was a lot of extras…toiletries, other necessities and coffee as well as little things not thought of by most host. Places to improve would be to replace the vertical blinds with sheer/lightweight curtains. The futon was a bit challenging to manage. I would definitely stay again. ❤️

River view.

The home it's self was very cozy and clean. The out side was the negative. Lot's of spiders on webs everywhere. Probably a non issue in colder weather. No water access on or near the property. Was still a nice quiet getaway.

Cute little house in wooded forrest

This place was perfect for my husband and I and our two pups. Kitchen has everything you need and house is clean. It smelled like they just stained the floor so that was a bit potent but everything else was lovely!

Cozy Rainy Get-Away

Even though it rained hard for 2 days during our stay, the cozy atmosphere of the little house made it quite pleasant! Add to that the beautiful waterfall that appeared directly across the river and we couldn’t have wanted for more. Everything we needed was supplied and easily assessable. We hope to return again in the fall.

Beautiful Place

The property was beautiful and a perfect place for relaxation with a back porch overlooking the river, a gas grill, and fire pit/wood. The owners were very nice to work with and thought of everything! The inside of the home was nicely decorated and very comfortable with all the amenities. The location of the home is also very close to the Shaker Village of Pleasant Hill where we enjoyed the hiking and tours. Although kayaks were available to use at the house, we thought the hill was a bit too steep for us to get them up/down so we opted to use Palisades Adventures for our rental which was just down the road. Overall a great place to stay!

Mother Daughter Trip

My mom and I came from California to stay in Kentucky for a week. We wanted a quiet place near Lexington and horse farms after attending the Kentucky Derby to spend time together relaxing, doing puzzles, playing games, watching movies and sitting on the back porch with a cup of coffee or a glass wine. It was absolutely perfect for everything we wanted! The house was well stocked, had lots of games, puzzles, and movies, and was perfectly situated in a quiet, scenic area close to several little towns and not far from Lexington. We loved watching wildlife near the river and the deer in the yard. If we didn’t live so far away we’d come back again! Hopefully we can plan another stay here in the future!
