About this house rental

Serene respite in all seasons after a day on the Kentucky Bourbon Trail, visiting one of numerous nearby attractions or unique dining experiences like Barn8 to spend time together with family and friends, or attending Louisville events. Enjoy the deck overlooking the Ohio River in warm weather or sit around a toasty fire in the common area, also overlooking the Ohio River, in cold winter weather.

Spacious 3200 square foot sparkling clean Ohio riverfront home in upscale area just off major Louisville highway, gorgeous natural view across the river of the wooded hills of Charlestown State Park. Has large open concept area and generous fully-shaded deck overlooking the Ohio River, plenty of space for your whole group to mingle, yet ample space to spread out for solitary time. Enjoy housewide WiFi and large screen tv in living area with comfy sectional and 4 recliners, and TVs in every bedroom.

Common area has a wall of glass with 3 doors opening onto deck, sunken living room, large fully-equipped kitchen, riverfront dining room with seating for 8 plus seating for 4 at the kitchen island, and cozy, crackling wood-burning fireplace. Four beautifully decorated bedrooms all have queen beds. There is also a daybed with trundle, futon, double-high queen aerobed (upon request), sofa with 3 recliners that lie nearly flat, and plenty of floor space for air mattresses. All bathrooms have showers, one has a tub, liquid soap, shampoo, hairdryers, and fresh towels.

The yard has ample space for setting up games. Cornhole, giant Jenga, giant Connect Four, indoor Shuffleboard, Foosball and multiple board games/cards are included in rental. There is garage parking for 2 cars and driveway parking for 2 additional cars. No street parking is allowed. This is a peaceful get-away-from-it-all place to grill out on the deck as you watch the sun set, or relax with a drink and a good book down on the dock (closed in winter) where you may spot a blue heron or hear the evening call of the loon.

You are welcome to bring your kayaks, small boats, etc. and use the dock in season. In the winter, the water view is still beautiful as from the warmth of a crackling fire as you watch an assortment of birds fly up to window from feeders.

Advance arrangements for any small day gatherings are considered on an individual basis and must be made in advance.

This rental is owner-operated, not one of many run by a distant management company. Owner is 15 minutes away and is on call 24/7.

Camp Husky is within easy driving distance of multiple bourbon distilleries and breweries, 2 golf courses, 20 minutes to Waterfront Park with the walking bridge and playgrounds, 25 minutes from downtown Louisville's YUM Stadium, the Belle of Louisville, Science Museum, Louisville Slugger Museum, Falls of the Ohio, Kentucky Center For the Arts, Six Flags Kentucky Kingdom, Churchill Downs, the Louisville Zoo and Splash Park, Shelby Trails and Woodfern Riding Center, and the Parklands of Floyds Fork where you can rent canoes or kayaks to ride on the creek or bicycle for miles along a paved bike path or enjoy the spray parks, playgrounds, and picnic areas. Up for a day trip? Rockin’ River Tours is an hour away, Mammoth Cave National Park and Noah’s Ark Encounter are both an hour and a half away, and zip-lining at spectacular Red River Gorge is two hours away. We are 3 miles from a major grocery store and quite a few restaurants including Blackstone Grill, Gustavo's, Captain's Quarters, Cunningham's and several fast food restaurants.

What a beautiful house with an amazing view! My family and I loved our stay. It was relaxing, comfortable, and exceeded our expectations. It is so close to Louisville-we didn’t have to drive far to anything we wanted to do. We highly recommend staying here!

This is the second time we have used this property. It suited our family needs 2 years ago, and we agreed that it would be a great location for a sister visit this summer! It was a "coming home" visit for us--there were 5 of us from 5 different states although we grew up in Oldham County. We spent most of our time enjoying the back deck watching the birds come readily to the feeders, gazing at the barges moving up and down river as the speedboats, houseboats, and wave runners steered clear, and simply contemplating the mesmerizing Ohio River. Our hostess answered immediately when we had questions, and she was more than accommodating when she had to gather the items we left behind! The home is clean and well organized, supplied with many conveniences. We might suggest having a supply of tissues and laundry detergent, but we honestly have NO complaints!

We enjoyed our stay in this very spacious house. It was perfect for my whole family. Becky was wonderful to work with and always available to assist when needed. The views are amazing……the sunsets beautiful to watch.

This river house was GREAT! The owner was more generous than any we've had in the past and her book with home-made maps and ideas and brochures was most appreciated. Linens & towels huge, which I loved. Best views on the river. With lots of family in the area, it was great having a home base and will definitely try to book again if we get to do another week stay.

Weekend family celebration, very satisfied with the property and host. Large renovated house, great location on the Ohio River and close to Louisville. Becky, our host, was always available to answer any question and help (especially with a power outage, Becky and her sons made sure we were OK)

My family of 6 enjoyed our vacation at this lovely home with a beautiful view of the Ohio River! Great communication with the host - she even left a special dessert for us to share. Comfortable beds and lots of space. We would definitely stay again!
