About this property

Spacious Ohio riverfront retreat in Louisville, gorgeous view, on Bourbon Trail.

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. Large open concept area and generous 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). All bathrooms have showers, one has shower/tub combo, 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 3-4 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. The dock has a kayak launch pad (bring your own kayaks) and you are welcome to tie your boat at the dock.

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, 20 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. We are 9 miles from a large theater and major shopping centers.

Great home for an extended weekend in Louisville!

We were in town for a family wedding and rented this home for an extended weekend. The setting on the river was wonderful, as were the views from the common area of the house. The kitchen/dining/family room area were perfect for 9 people, and the shuffleboard was an especially big hit. There was an abundance of comfortable seating, including four recliners. We also appreciated the numerous amenities including a great coffee bar. We'd certainly consider renting this house again if needing a place in the future.

River

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.

About the host

Hosted by Becky

Host profile image
I am a native Louisvillian, and a retired teacher who works part-time, has 3 grown children, and loves to travel.

Why they chose this property

My family have been boaters for many years. We happened upon this house, perfect for us, which has been my little piece of heaven for over 15 years. As I drove home from a hectic day, I could literally feel the stress drain away. I love being here on the mighty Ohio, where it feels like being on vacation every day.

What makes this property unique

The way the sun lights up the island across the river is a moment of joy at the beginning of each day, and the sunsets can sometimes turn the water a brilliant shade of orange. The quiet calm in the winter is a contrast to the activity of boats cruising by in the summer. Both are my pleasure as I spend time reading on the swing in my favorite "room", the deck overlooking the river.
