Shawnee |Original Log Cabin Overlooking Ohio River

Perched proudly overlooking the Ohio River stands a time-honored treasure - an original 1906 log cabin. Stepping inside reveals hardwood floors worn smooth by generations of footsteps, while antique windows frame timeless views of the river. This living relic bears quirks and eccentricities - slightly askew walls and floors that breath as the rock foundation moves underfoot, and doors with character. Outside, a new all-seasons porch and new deck add luxury relaxation to the century old cabin.
The vacation home is air-conditioned and features a kitchen, 1.5 bathrooms, and a balcony. There's space to spread out with 3 bedrooms and a dining area. Guests can enjoy a Smart TV and stay connected with free WiFi. Other standard amenities include a washing machine, a coffee maker, and an ironing board.

There is a great outdoor fire pit area, and the view of the Ohio River with the sun rising is beautiful. However, getting to the fire pit area without a formal 'walking' path is a bit tricky for anyone with balance or stability issues.

Our stay at the cabin was fantastic! It was the perfect size for our group of 7 and it had everything we needed available. The all seasons room overlooking the Ohio river was amazing and our favorite place to hang out! The hose was very prompt and answered all our questions. We’d definitely stay here again!

Pleasant Stay

Great overall stay, very comfy and relaxing. The property should offer the use of a grill and they need to remove the hot tub from their listing as there is no hot tub. It would also be nice to see a bit of history of the house, if they can find some. Great view of the Ohio River!

Amazing getaway

This property is gorgeous! We absolutely loved the sun room and outdoor space looking over the Ohio River. The bedrooms were comfortable and the bathroom was renovated recently and was wonderful. We loved the charm of the cabin and the history. The kitchen is small for cooking but doable. Everything was clean and update to date and easy to use! I highly recommend!

Gorgeous Cabin on the Ohio River

My husband and I took our 3 sons ( 22 years old and twins that are 19). The cabin was perfect! It was very hot outside while we were there ( between 92-95 degrees every day but the AC kept up great and I was thankful for that! They have put a lot of wonderful touches and finishes on this cabin. It was very clean and comfortable. We loved the son porch that overlooked the river. We also loved the fire pit in the evenings. The cabin was even better in person than in photos. The mercantile store was a few minute walk and the people there were so friendly and the ice cream and coffee were outstanding! Would highly recommend this special spot to anyone!

Girls Trip- Relax & Recharge

This property was breathtaking! It’s tucked away down from the main road, and we both got super excited when we saw the cabin waiting for us overlooking the river! My best friend and I took a short trip to get away from the busy city life to relax and recharge. We spent a lot of time in the 4 season’s room, it also had a separate heating/cooling unit we appreciated. It’s walking distance to an amazing shop that had coffee & ice cream, and we went there multiple times a day and enjoyed our goods while soaking in the sun of the 4 seasons room. The entire home was clean and had everything we needed, and more. We didn’t cook anything, lots of PB&J + hiking, so we didn’t get to enjoy the kitchen. It would be a great place for a family with the patios & yard with fire pit, 4 seasons room, and plenty of seating throughout. Located in a good spot to drive to neighboring towns for restaurants and especially for getting to several hiking trails. Standout things I personally loved:: -Our host was super attentive. She sent a message before we arrived and when we left. I goofed up the key code and she had it re-set in minutes. -Check out has the least amount of house rules I’ve seen in a long time, added to realization of the trip. -Comfortable seating throughout the entire property and lots of throw blankets as well. Don’t think twice about this property, book it.
