Family Stay for Daughter's Wedding.

Great View, good memories. Home is very roomy and clean. Sunrise and sunsets with good view of the Ohio River. Roomy Kitchen, we did not need to go to a restaurant. Narrow and winding roads leading to the house. I would suggest arriving in daylight. I highly recommend.

Family Getaway

We had a great time at Hideaway on the River. Starting our day sipping coffee and taking in the beautiful view of the river from the patio was perfect. The house is large which gave us plenty of room to spread out. The beds were comfortable, so we had no problem sleeping after our site-seeing activities each day.

We love the Hideaway

This was our second trip to Prospect, KY. The Hideaway is a fantastic place to reconnect with our family. The river access was great. The dogs loved playing in the water. The improvements to house since our last stay were awesome. We look forward to coming back again.

Great relaxing time with family

Great location out of the way of the hustle and bustle of the city. Felt miles away but super close. Had a quick get together with daughters and grandkids. Grandson caught his first fish Off the dock. Owners were great about life jackets so we did not have to travel with them on the plane. Plenty of room to spread out with and the kids loved watching the barges still by the river. Home and beds were comfy. Would stay again.

Excellent property!

Great property off the beaten path, and an ideal place to simply relax along the river; or use as your homebase for happenings in Louisville (we came for the PGA Championship). The kitchen is well appointed (settings for many, Keurig and Drip -coffee, crock pots, toaster oven, etc.) and there are many places for your group to sleep. Multiple activites within the property (pool table, tabletop video games, board games, etc.). A lot is packed into the property, including multiple areas along the patio and balcony for relaxing along the river. Nearby restaurants, grocery, and golf courses too! The hosts were very response to inquiries and we had a great time!!

We had a great time at your place. The property is as described. One suggestions. A ladder at the dock would be most helpful for kayaking. We will be back.

View was the best part

The best part of this rental was the peacefulness of being right on the Ohio River. The house itself isn’t as dialed-in as we like. The kitchen wasn’t equipped for cooking meals, needs pots and pans, etc,..although there were plenty of dishes to serve food on. It was very uncomfortable for 4 of us to sit and watch TV. The pool table on the 2nd level should be on the main floor and the family TV viewing area should be on the 2nd level. Beds were very comfortable, bathrooms were nice, and the neighborhood was quiet. It’s country living close to the city!

April 2024

Location is about 30 min from Louisville. House is on Ohio river. There is a Kroger 5 minutes away and plenty of restaurants nearby. We had high hopes for this vacation - unfortunately the town was hit with a tornado the night before we arrived. This caused some issues. We had 2 issues where hot water was not working. In another night, heat was not working upstairs. Owners were super responsive, but it was inconvenient as we had to wait for repair men as opposed to enjoying our vacation. Setup of house is odd - upstairs has pool table, tv, mini bar and loft. This is where we spent a lot of our time, but there isn’t anywhere for guests to sit. No couches (they are downstairs, along with kitchen and sitting area). There’s a pirate bed a couple people could sit on but it’s weird - especially if someone is actually using that as their bed. Some simple things missing from kitchen - pizza cutter, ample supply of dishwasher tabs, garbage bags. Reached out to owner as we ran out of garbage bags and he had some delivered - which was nice.
