Big riverfront house near beach access, CVG, & downtown

Escape to our newly-remodeled prohibition-era speakeasy, now a modern and clean vacation rental! This spacious property comfortably sleeps 18 and is located on 2 acres of riverfront land, situated next to a state bird sanctuary that features a sandy beach. Enjoy stunning sunsets by the fire pit and hours of entertainment in the rustic barn with a half-pipe, ping pong table, and stage. The River House is conveniently located just 28 minutes from Perfect North Slopes, 12 minutes from downtown, 27 minutes from the Creation Museum, 38 minutes from the Ark Encounter, and 10 minutes from CVG airport.

Inside the home, guests can relax and unwind in the beautifully decorated living areas. Take in the panoramic river views from the wrap-around porch, or enjoy a movie night in the cozy living room. The property also features four immaculate bedrooms, including a bunk room that sleeps ten, three brand-new bathrooms, and a modern kitchen.

The River House boasts a rustic barn with a half-pipe, ping pong table, and stage for entertainment. Please note that a waiver must be signed if the barn is used. If you would rather not have your kids enticed by the barn, you can leave it locked for your whole stay.

There is a state-protected bird sanctuary adjacent to the property. Stroll through the sanctuary's shady path to visit a riverfront beach owned by the state of Kentucky. Please note that the Ohio River is an active commercial waterway. Every day the river deposits some "gifts" (aka- debris and often trash) and removes others. As this is state-owned land, we do not patrol or clean the beach or woods; we are not responsible for its maintenance or for any activity on that property.

Guests will have access to the entire house, the parking area, the yard, the fire pit, and the barn.

During your stay at this holiday home, you're just a quick walk from Ohio River. Features include laundry facilities. The holiday home offers a kitchen and 3 bathrooms.
  • Air-conditioned home with kitchen, washing machine and 3 bathrooms
  • Amenities include laundry facilities
  • 12 minutes by car from Great American Ball Park and 11 minutes from Duke Energy Convention Center
Big riverfront house near beach access, CVG, & downtown offers its guests barbecue grills and laundry facilities. The front desk is open around the clock.

Easy check in (and we were even able to get in a little earlier than the listed check in time!)I always bring cookware specific to what meals are planned but the kitchen was pretty well stock in that regard already. Was a great place for our big group with plenty of usable in and outdoor space.

The home is updated and very roomy. Our family had plenty of room at eat breakfast in the same room. We have 10 kids they made great memories in the bunk room. My grandkids loved playing in the large bath tub. Since we know hot air rises and assumed the upstairs would be warmer than the downstairs we brought a box fan from home. Glad we did. Thank you for sharing your beautiful decorated home with our family.

The kitchen only had five spoons. In fact, the kitchen was so ill equipped. We thought maybe this home was only rented out to people who will eat out all the time. This family cooks so that was a little bit of a challenge. Also, the step on the outside of the deck was too wobbly rocks. My husband is 80 I’m almost 80 and it wasn’t exactly a safe situation to be stepping up on a rock and then onto the deck to get into the front door. Other than that, the house is very clean, very comfortable and we had tons of space which we loved.

Guys annual football trip

I can’t speak enough about the location of this house. It’s close to the city yet you feel secluded. The nearby little town of Ludlow is very quaint with restaurants and shops. The owner was super easy to work with and the house was clean, up to date and had everything we needed for our group of 8. If you are looking for a place to stay away from it all but close to everything, this would be the place!

It was the worst house I’ve been in with VRBO. The house was filthy and I spent first 5 hours cleaning it washing dirty sheets and wondering where the river front was.

Perfect Stay!

Everything was as sold and looked as good as the pictures and description! Donna was communicative and willing to accomodate us early as well! She also offered good suggestions on places to eat and things to do. Had a weekend plan with friends in Cincinnati and this was the perfect place within a 15 minute drive for it. Would absolutely reccommend for anyone travelling to the area.
