Martin Ridge Ohio river view

Our guest house has 4 bed rooms. The master bed room has a California king bed the others have 2 queen size beds. There are two full beds for the smaller people with a fight to see who gets to sleep in the coveted Crows Nest. We can easily sleep 20. The kitchen in stocked with the usual pots, pans, dishes and the apliances linens provided. Outside patio has wood and a fire pit. Deck just out the patio doors in the kitchen has a grill with charcoal in the garage. This home was built by our son in 2002. it is one of 3 homes on our 200 acre farm. It sets at the very end of Martin Ridge in the center of the farm. The closest house is to the rear of the guest house 1/8 mile away. The only thing beyond this dead end road is the remaining part of the farm, a herd of beef cattle, a 6 mile river view, miles and miles of hills and hollows, starry nights ,moon and sun rises and sets, and lots of natures wild southern Indiana critters. The name of our farm is Peaceful Hills, come stay with us and you will come to appreciate the meaning....

This was the most beautiful view of any VRBO we've ever stayed at! Joann was always available and very accommodating. We also appreciated the home being very well stocked with towels, soaps, dishes, etc .. The grandkids loved the chicken, pool and walking the property.

Who knew southern Indiana was so beautiful?

Picturesque, peaceful, relaxing, I could go on and on. Great location with plenty of beds, a great pool, fishing pond, and some of the best views I’ve ever seen. Kitchen was well stocked, great internet, property owner was close by whenever we needed anything. Highly recommended!

Our boys LOVED catching fish, swimming in the first class pool and all the animals on the property. The view of the Ohio Really was spectacular. Accommodations were clean and more than adequate. The “kids” table was popular. Our host was gracious. Our only complaint was that all the couches and chairs were very uncomfortable-difficult to sit and enjoy conversation.

This property far exceeded our expectations. It is truly a hidden gem that allowed for an amazing family getaway. The cabin had a fantastic layout, was well stocked and wonderfully kept. The scenic property was beyond what pictures could capture. The pond and pool were fantastic for the kids and adults alike. Jerry and Joann made you you feel like old friends rather than simply house guests.Absolutely recommend and can't wait to return.

We’re back!!

This is the sixth year (every July) we have stayed at this property. We love this house, this host, this setting, everything! Once again our annual Camp G&G with our six grandchildren was wonderful! We had our first High School grad with us! This pool is certainly a highlight and the kids are huge fans of the night swims.Joanne is a wonderful host! The house smells so clean when you walk through the door. Joanne also provides all the beach towels! We cooked all mid-day and evening meals. (My husband and I are quite the team!) This working farm overlooking the scenic Ohio River is amazing, and never disappoints!!Highly recommend!!!!
