Our boys LOVED catching fish, swimming in the first class pool and all the animals on the property. The view of the Ohio Really was spectacular. Accommodations were clean and more than adequate. The “kids” table was popular. Our host was gracious. Our only complaint was that all the couches and chairs were very uncomfortable-difficult to sit and enjoy conversation.

Lovely place to gather!

Pool is a 1min drive or 5min walk from rental house. Thought would be a hassle but wasn’t. Plenty of parking. Kids liked the walk; I preferred the quick drive.Pool is cleanest we’ve ever seen! Hosts should give lessons to pool owners! Kids enjoyed diving/jumping board. Everyone enjoyed lounging on floats. No shade over pool; enjoy the sun. Covered patio next to pool for shade. VRBO understood the assignment. Paper plates. Dishwasher-safe plates. Plastic cups and cozy coffee mugs. Non-stick pans. Spices but no oil; managed. Soap at every sink. Laundry basket full of freshly-cleaned beach and bath towels – directly next to front door. Views are amazing! A few flies but that’s just July. Cell service very good for being so secluded! Loved the bare surfaces! Counters are uncluttered; guests have room to spread out! Family (4) in downstairs bedrooms 2 & 3 connected by a double sink bathroom. Other family (4) in upstairs bedroom 1 connected to large bathroom with laundry. Total gathering of 14 aged 11-75. Didn’t use b-room 4. Can’t remember b-room 5. No one slept in crow’s nest, but a fun hangout spot. Appreciated the curtains in bedrooms, for darkness! The hosts are very nice. They’ll chat if you’re chatty type; but they’ll leave you to your own time if you’re on the shy side.A few additions – an air pump to inflate pool floats, oil in kitchen, updated couches, repair handle and water on main fridge. But those items are minor or for the future. We plan to book again!

We’re back!!

This is the sixth year (every July) we have stayed at this property. We love this house, this host, this setting, everything! Once again our annual Camp G&G with our six grandchildren was wonderful! We had our first High School grad with us! This pool is certainly a highlight and the kids are huge fans of the night swims.Joanne is a wonderful host! The house smells so clean when you walk through the door. Joanne also provides all the beach towels! We cooked all mid-day and evening meals. (My husband and I are quite the team!) This working farm overlooking the scenic Ohio River is amazing, and never disappoints!!Highly recommend!!!!

We picked this property because of the views of the Ohio river, the pool, and the size of the home and we were very happy with our choice. We mostly hung out at the property. The views were spectacular, pool was large and even had a diving board, and there was plenty of room in the home. We took advantage of the fire pit and the grill. The kitchen had everything we needed for meals including paper and plastic if you dont want to mess with dishes. On the last day, one of our cars would not start. Joann, Phil, and Wade (owners) all came down to help. They were so generous with their time and even offered one of their cars to make it home. Such nice people! Flossie (house cleaner) also worked around us. My husband stayed an extra night to get car fixed and Joann refused to charge. This is the most hospitable vrbo ever and we have been in alot.My grandson loved the working farm and watched the tractors all day. The chickens were fun too. My husband even caught a big bass in the pond and of course got a picture. I tried to add pictures to this post but it did not work. Thanks for the great memories and letting us stay in your home.

This property far exceeded our expectations. It is truly a hidden gem that allowed for an amazing family getaway. The cabin had a fantastic layout, was well stocked and wonderfully kept. The scenic property was beyond what pictures could capture. The pond and pool were fantastic for the kids and adults alike. Jerry and Joann made you you feel like old friends rather than simply house guests.Absolutely recommend and can't wait to return.

This was our third time vacationing here. We just love it. Once again, we had a wonderful stay. It was so relaxing and beautiful. The house is clean and welcoming. The pool is fun and enjoyable for everyone. The kids (and adults) really enjoyed the cows as well as the stunning views. Joann and her husband are amazing hosts and we appreciate all their help and answers to our questions about farm life. We highly recommend this beautiful property.

Beautiful Home

The home is beautiful with a stunning view. The home was very clean. The kitchen was fully stocked, paper roducts included. The pool was a life saver, as it was in the 90's every day of our stay. Enjoyed the firepit and selection of tv channels. The owners were great to work with. Only downside is a few changes needed in listing. It is listed as 4 bedroom and crow's nest, then 5 bedroom and crow's nest with beds listed in a total of 6 rooms. We assumed the last. It worked out, but not as i had hoped. The kitchen would be mighty tight if you added another table and more chairs. Overall, we truly enjoyed our stay and would recommend it to others.

This was out second time staying at this property and everything was wonderful just like the first time! The property is beautiful and very family friendly. We weren’t able to use the pool as much this time around due to cooler weather but we had fires in the evenings and even ventured out to Owensboro a time or 2. The hosts are wonderful and very responsive if needed. Our large family loves this house and will most likely be back for more stays in the future!
