What a hidden gem! This was magical. Overlooking the mighty Ohio River. Cottages nestled in a wooded area with immaculate grounds with well appointed look out points. So many things to see

Beautiful quiet location
Our entire experience was great! I would stay here again when in the area. The grounds are beautiful and serene. Our cabin was comfortable and clean. We sent several questions prior to our arrival and all were answered quickly. Very pleased with our stay.

Location was beautiful and quiet. My only disappointment was the 33 foot statue no longer exsist and we couldn't make our frozen pizza cause the oven set off the smoke detector for no apparent reason?! If you are a princess and only stay in new hotels or updated cottages this is not the place for you- some might view it as dated. I absolutely loved it. Enough essentials to be a step up from camping, lots of room, fantastic shower! Beds? Wellllllll.....I'll bring a topper or air mattress next time but not a big deal. Highly recommend!

#1 dogs were allowed a definite plus Such a nice retreat from our hectic life, so peaceful and loved sitting on the deck watching the barges go by. Our cabin was exactly like stated, everyone we met were helpful, friendly, and gave us great ideas on additional things to do in the area (other than what we already had planned) Yes I would definitely recommend to others.
