Newly Renovated Historic Ohio Riverfront Home in South Point, Near Huntington
Opening in July 2026
Welcome to our brand-new listing! We have spent the last year lovingly restoring this property. Relax above the Ohio River in a peaceful 3-bedroom retreat that blends historic character with updated comfort. Start your morning with a fresh coffee in the sunroom or listen for the hawk nested in the sycamore tree. Gather in the great room, unwind on the swing overlooking the water, and end the day under soft evening lights.
The charm of this house feels authentic — because it is. The original "old house" was built on the property in the mid-1800s. While the pump house is the last original building standing, pieces of that history are woven throughout this entire home. You will find it in the solid wood of the salvaged front door, the decorative fireplace, and the staircase leading upstairs (to locked storage). It's even built right into the walls—years ago, the owner sat next to his father, knocking the mortar off brick after brick so they could be given new life as they turned a 1960s ranch into a stately home.
But old isn't always comfortable, and we've taken care of that, too. The kitchen has been completely renovated and is well-equipped. The bathrooms are small, consistent with a home built in the 1960s and added on in the 1970s, but they too have been updated; the full bath has been completely gutted and redone.
Enjoy spotting the little treasures from the 1950s, 1970s, 1980s. Pick up an old novel or kick back and watch Netflix—old and new, thoughtfully blended with you, our guests, in mind.
The house is nestled in small-town South Point but only 10–20 minutes from area attractions (including Marshall University and Wayne National Forest). Whether you're visiting family, exploring the area, or simply looking for a place to recharge, this home offers room to slow down.
Guest note: A train track is located about 2 blocks from the property. Thanks to new windows, the indoor space is usually quiet, but you may occasionally hear a passing train whistle. We rarely notice it, but we like to mention it for our light-sleeping guests.
The vacation home is air-conditioned and features a kitchen and 1.5 bathrooms, and there's space to spread out with 3 bedrooms. 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.

William's house was spotless and had everything 3 adults needed for a 4 night stay. The kitchen was especially well stocked with equipment and staples, allowing us to cook at home instead of eating out all the time. Every morning, we enjoyed eating on the swing overlooking the river. The flowers in bloom were also lovely and the garden was private and quiet. All switches were accurately labled and the house was in a perfect location for us, in our geneological quests! William even helped us out connecting with potential family members he knew! Very responsive in messaging, too. All around, a great place to stay for the value!
This is a beautiful rental. Gorgeous remodeling, particularly the well-equipped kitchen, yet the home retains its historic charm. Three large living spaces allowed plenty of room for us to relax. Spacious outdoor areas invited us to enjoy nature and the Ohio River views. My wife and I had a comfortable two-night stay. Highly recommended for 1-3 couples or a family. Host was very responsive to any questions we had. We’d definitely stay here again when in the area.
