Whitewater River House - A Riverside Retreat in Brookville, Indiana

We are located on the beautiful Whitewater River just one mile from the charming town of Brookville. Get away from it all and relax by the river! Kayaking, canoeing, fishing, swimming, exploring, barbequing, or just relaxing. This is the perfect getaway for families or small groups looking for fun and relaxation! The river is literally steps from your front door. Sit back and let the sound of flowing waters soothe your soul! Whether you're planning a relaxing weekend retreat or a week-long adventure, the River House has everything you need for a memorable stay.

Why You’ll Love The Whitewater River House

* The house is a duplex so you will have two independent, side-by-side living areas. Each side has a separate entrance, fully equipped kitchen, living room, and bathroom. Perfect for couples visiting together, friend-cations, families, and small family reunions.

* Large iighted picnic pavilion on the river. Excellent space to picnic, grill (charcoal and propane grills), or just hang out with friends and loved ones. A deck box contains outdoor toys such as cornhole, horseshoes and volleyball. There are two large tables with benches for gatherings, and adirondack chairs for sitting back.

* Surrounded by nature: Enjoy a setting surrounded by nature’s beauty, perfect for unwinding and recharging.Whether it is the walnut and sycamore trees along the riparian edge, the bald eagles that fly over daily, or even the occasional beaver, there is much to see and experience.

* The Whitewater River is your backyard: Spend your days fishing, kayaking, tubing, or just walking the long seasonal beach (river height dependent).

* Cozy Evenings: Relax by the fire pit with s’mores under a starlit sky, or curl up with a good book.

* Perfect Location: Brookville Lake and its boating facilities and hiking trails are less than 10 minutes away. We are less than a mile outside of the charming town of Brookville with it's local shops, cafes, and historic sites. Don't forget to check out Metamora, the historic Whitewater Canal, Oldenburg with its amazing architecture, and even Miami University- all within a half hour drive.


Note that this is one of two properties we rent out on the river. The river access in front of the Whitewater River House is shared with the Yellow Farmhouse (https://www.vrbo.com/4445410, sleeps 6), 500 feet down the road. The Whitewater River House is best for guests wanting river views and the picnic pavilion. Guests preferring more privacy and a bit more upscale accommodations but can sacrifice the river views may prefer the Yellow Farmhouse. We suggest potential guests compare both properties.
The vacation home is air-conditioned and features a kitchen and a patio, and there's space to spread out with 4 bedrooms. Guests can expect to find free WiFi and a Smart TV with a DVD player. Other standard amenities include a washing machine, a coffee maker, and a dining table.

Beautiful property right on the river. Covered area down by the river was a great place to spend time with my friends. Everything about the place was perfect except for the fact that the hosts home is extremely close to the property. I do not recall the listing stating that. They did not bother us or anything just felt dishonest in their listing.

Beautiful property. River was awesome. We had a blast. Played cornhole in the pavilion. Both units are furnished very well. We were looking for a place to relax and enjoy the scenery. Only complaint is, the fish weren’t biting. Definately on our list to vacation again. Thank you.

Great River cabins

The 2 river cabins are great. They were a little hard to find. The hosts Mark and Jan were great. The rooms were clean and the kitchens and bathrooms were well stocked. To get to the bathrooms you had to go through a bedroom which was a little inconvenient. The location on the river was wonderful. We were able to fish, swim and kayak. Nearby restaurants were convenient and Brooks lake was just a short drive away. I would definitely recommend this place for a short getaway.

Amazing Weekend Getaway!

Our stay was amazing! The property was clean, wide open to enjoy the weather and the river had a clear access! Plenty to do even with the rain storm we had. Corn hole, horse shoes, volleyball and we grilled and had a fire! They supplied us with some wood. Great stay for a family! Super close to bonwell boat ramp to enjoy a day of boating!

Perfect for Peaceful Miami Univ. Graduation Weekend

This property was perfect for our family's stay to celebrate our youngest graduating from Miami University. We were looking for a place away from all the pomp and circumstance, where three generations of family could relax between weekend ceremonies in Oxford. The drive to the college was simple and on country roads. We rented both sides of the river house, had a cookout and celebration Saturday at the shelter house, explored and waded down the river and had a nice little bon fire the last night there. The house was very clean, well equipped and the beds were comfortable. Everything we needed was in town: restaurants, IGA, butcher, ice cream, CVS and dollar stores. Would love to come again when weather is warmer to fully enjoy the river. Thank you for sharing your lovely properly!

Nice riverfront place

We had a good time at this place, rented both sides, beds were comfy, place was clean, perfect for being close to town but felt secluded, even with owners house directly behind, house sits on hill, so going up an down the hill to shelter house an river u will get a workout! Caught some catfish on the river at night, overall nice place!

We rented the two joined units for 4 adults. Had a great time hanging out and exploring both the river and the very nearby town of Brookville. The owners were terrific communicators, responded quickly if we had any problems, and friendly. Would definitely rent again. Thank you!

Beautiful River Retreat

We had a very nice stay at the river house. The pavilion was great to cook and hang out in, especially when we got some rain during the trip. Easy river access with a beautiful area of the river to hang out in if the water isn't too high (luckily it wasn't our whole trip until the day we were checking out). They even had a horseshoe pit near the pavilion which was a nice added bonus! The house was very clean, and it was nice having two separate areas right next door to each other. Close to liveries, horseback riding, the lake, and we highly recommend seeing the wolf habitat nearby as well! The owner's residence is close, but they were very kind and it still felt secluded and private. We plan to return in the future!

Family Adventure

Property exceeded our expectations. House nice and cozy. Plenty of Adirondack chairs to relax in by the fire pit by the house as well as the shelter by the river. The shelter also had two roomy picnic tables plenty of room for family grilling, eating and games. The river was ideal for the kids to float, wade and play in it. You can go up river put in if you want a longer float. Town close by and if feeding a larger crew I would recommend the Dairy Cottage and the El Reparo restaurant. 5 Stars in my book relaxing, fun and adventure.
