Maybe we’re weird but sitting in the yard or on the deck watching barges cruise by is relaxing to us. The backyard is fenced. Our dog kept wanting to go under the deck. Last time we were here…06/2021…we let her. This time we didn’t. Late at night we’ve had a fox, groundhog and raccoon visit. MANY birds during the day. The Purple Martins from next door remove almost every flying insect. Last time a fox stole a dog toy. ( I always take cameras to any house we rent, for security.) The home is .69 miles from Mellow Mushroom pizza…my personal favorite since living in Atlanta in 1975. There are SEVERAL parks. Owensboro has performed a great public service with its dedication to various parks. There’s even a park on the river less than a mile due west AND east. They also have done a great job of setting up the infrastructure for booths for various events downtown. You can walk downtown in ten minutes or bike there in two. The area around town is almost dead flat. The people we’ve encountered are very nice. We’ve discussed the possibility of moving there. The downtown river park has a constant stream of 70’s to 90’s music playing on a plethora of speakers. The kitchen is very well stocked. There’s a grill outside. The bridge to the east has changing LED lights at night. I feel like if I look up the word ‘relaxing’ I’ll see a picture of this house. The only negative is the cleaning service could improve the house a lot just by vacuuming under the beds

I've stayed at a lot of short-term rentals and am a host of vacation property myself. This "River House" is completely unacceptable. No oven, dim lighting, lack of cleanliness, inoperable dishwasher, broken/dismantled smoke detectors, exterior door lock not working properly, downright rude communications by Brenda, our so-called "host" -- not to mention the bait-and-switch pricing practice of promising a 10% discount for a stay longer than 10 days and then not actually doing a discount but rather blaming VRBO, plus adding a $100 electricity charge and other mystery charges AFTER you book this property. If you rent this property after reading this review, all I can say is "buyer beware" -- you were warned. To top off this one-star review, Brenda accused me of stealing a toaster oven! And breaking the dishwasher! And dinged me for exiting the house at 10:35 am rather than 10 sharp!

House was well appointed with everything we needed. The host was very responsive and made the stay easy.

The house was perfect for us. It was very close to the convention center and the view from the back deck was beautiful. Will definitely book again.

We had a great time at the river house. All went smoothly. This house has an extraordinarily beautiful view of the Ohio River and the lighted bridge. The yard and the deck are terrific. The house is very well supplied and has good comfortable living room furniture. It is dog friendly including tie outs in the yard. We always enjoy our trips to Owensboro.

Good view of river, had an extra charge for use of electric. What ever fruit falling from trees created a bad odor. Nice fenced yard, and pet friendly. Need to bring your own coffee, none provided, use of light switches awkward

Stayed here before. Super location. Nice peaceful getaway.

It was a very nice experience staying at this house. Brenda us amazing and we will be back for sure. The house had everything we needed.
