About this property

Riverfront Home on the Ohio River, Private Dock, Hot Tub, Sleeps 8

  • Sitting on the Ohio River in Prospect with a private dock, hot tub, and open river views, this three-bedroom home is built for groups and families who want to be on the water without sacrificing comfort. The bridge lights reflecting off the river at night, mornings on the deck with coffee, evenings around the fire pit while something is on the grill — it is the kind of place that fills up a weekend without any effort.



    The home spans two levels with an open layout oriented toward the water. Two queen bedrooms, the main living area, kitchen, and dining space are on the main level. A third queen bedroom, the family room, and a full bathroom are on the lower level, which opens directly to the dock and river. A temperature-controlled sunroom sits between the living areas and the outdoors, comfortable in every season.

    The main level is open and easy to move around. The living area has comfortable seating and a smart TV, with a queen sofa bed for additional sleeping flexibility. The kitchen is fully equipped with new appliances, cooking basics, and everything needed for a full group meal.

    On the lower level, the third bedroom and family room with a fold-out couch give the group a second hangout space or overflow sleeping area. The lower level bathroom with a shower is right there for guests coming in from the dock.

    The outdoor setup is the centerpiece of the property. The private dock gives you direct Ohio River access for boats, fishing, or simply sitting and watching the water. The hot tub is positioned with open river views and runs year-round. The fire pit and outdoor grill are set up for evening use, and the deck and balcony give the full group room to spread out. Seating for ten keeps everyone together when the group is all outside.

    Guests who bring boats should be aware that the river is an active wake zone. A spring line is recommended when docking.

    The home also has in-unit washer and dryer, multiple smart TVs, and a dedicated office space. The property is pet friendly with a $150 per pet per stay fee. Quiet hours are from 11pm to 8am. Shoes off inside. No fireworks.

    Located in a quiet residential stretch of Prospect directly on the Ohio River, with Louisville just minutes away. Restaurants, shopping, and conveniences are nearby while the property itself feels removed from everything. Easy highway access when you need it.

    This is the kind of stay where the group never runs out of things to do or places to be. The water handles most of it.

This was a wonderful space for our family of four. We had our own space and plenty of spaces to do things together. My son spent most of his time on the dock and the rest of us spent most of our time in the fantastic sun room!! Everything was very clean, perfect temps (rooms and hot tub!!) and accessible. The kitchen had everything we needed. This host made a quick getaway feel like we were at home the whole time.

This is the kind of home I always look for when I travel, but rarely find. I like a lot of ventilation and a peaceful, picturesque location. This house checked those boxes and is definitely in my list of favorite spots where I've stayed. Staying here helped my trip feel less like just a trip and more like a vacation.

Stunning!!

This home has it all and I slept in the sunroom on the porch couch just to watch and hear the river traffic, and that was the best rest ever and can’t wait to go back. It’s got river features that come with the territory but look past that and you too will enjoy every minute here in paradise.

Amazing Host & Amazing Stay

We went for a mother daughter group trip plus some of our pups and this stay was perfect! The host was so kind and accommodating. Loved that 4-seasons room with the view. Also just sat at the end of the dock during a gorgeous day and chatted with my Mom. Reading the history about the home was fascinating as well. Thank you and thank you for sharing!

Wonderful spot for our first trip to Louisville

The house had plenty of space from our family of 4. The proximity to downtown (about 20 minutes )was perfect but still gave us the feel of being a little way from it all. There were deer running around which was a beautiful sight. The view of the river was spectacular. My husband and I spent every morning bring having our coffee on the enclosed patio . The family enjoyed the hot tub and having our own space when we needed. Would definitely recommend and stay again!

The home was really nice, clean, comfortable, welcoming. But the view was AMAZING! I sat on the sun porch all day and most of the night. We watched barges float past, and I could not take my eyes off the bridge. We had a truly peaceful time. Thank you for allowing us into your home.

Nice location on the river

We were a group of 7 family members, all above the age of 62, ranging to 87! We loved the location and the screened in porch and lower patio with hot tub, and enjoyed watching the river traffic! We lucked out with unseasonably cool weather! Kari, our host, was very responsive and came to the house to remedy the few problems that we encountered! The house is a bit old and has a very cramped and not very well stocked (in terms of cookware) kitchen, however, it worked and we were able to do a lot of cooking! Thoroughly enjoyable stay!

Great views!

Beautiful setting beside river. Feels remote but it is very close to grocery store and restaurants. Downtown Louisville was only a few minutes down scenic drive of River road. We saw tons of deer around house and in neighborhood. However, it may feel too remote for ladies traveling alone. Great view of bridge but a lot of traffic noise when outside. Lower bathroom very small. Not suitable for kids or those with stability issues due to stairs inside and out. Kitchen and outside areas could use a little TLC. An overall good place that could be great with a few tweaks.
