Waterfront Cabin | Near ARK | Large Family Retreat
ABOUT THE CABIN
Wake up to river views at our Scenic Waterfront Cabin, perched right on the banks of the Ohio River. Whether you’re traveling with a small group or the whole extended family, this is the kind of place that turns a weekend trip into a tradition.
The home offers 2,200 sq ft of living space, anchored by a bright, vaulted-ceiling living room (25’ x 25’) perfect for gathering everyone together. With 3 bedrooms and sleeping space for up to 10 guests, there’s room for the whole crew — though with just 1 bathroom, this is best suited for family and friends who don’t mind sharing.
You’re also close to some great local attractions: peaceful riverside parks, the Ark Encounter and Creation Museum, and the charm of a small Southern town. Many guests find themselves wishing they’d booked a few extra nights.

Very Good

We certainly enjoyed the great view. Beautiful‼Fully furnished with lots of options. And our hosts were instantly responsive to our questions. Checkin and out were flawless
this was a great place! the only things I wil comment on is the kitchen needs some attention and the entry/exit doors need attention. the kitchen need some upgraded pots and pans with lids, it also need some type of storage containers. when you cook and have left over there is no storage. the front door doesn't shut quit right and will keep trying to lock automatically but with door ajar you have to push in to get it to lock the door near drive the bolt has to be jiggled to get it to lock. Other than the place was clean and has nice living space. the view is excellent of the Ohio River and the house if very convenient to most things. We had a lot of snow so we didn't get to explore grounds but was beautiful. thank you for renting.
