Beautiful Location on the River - Firepit with a View

This is our 2nd stay here and we love it. This time it wasn't too cold to be outside and we had a nice time around the firepit at night. If you have kids who love to burn stuff, have them gather driftwood from the river front before dark. It burns bright. The owner has added railing to the upstairs loft and we feel safer with the kids now. I do wish there was undercabinet lighting in the kitchen or some sort of light over the sink. And the upstairs half bath mirror should be raised so one can use it . As is it is too low. There were four of us, two adults and 2 little ones. It could be more with 3 bedrooms. With 1.5 baths adults need to time showers but it is manageable. All in all a great place!

Great cabin!

We enjoyed our stay in this cabin on the Ohio River. We spent evenings relaxing on the deck watching the river traffic and enjoying the fire pit. Beds were comfortable. Cabin was clean and perfect for our needs. Crystal was great to work with on questions and ease of check in. The only thing we would suggest is additional lighting in all living spaces and a warning of how steep the drive is to reach the cabin. Otherwise we would've given it 5 stars.

Lovely home on the Ohio River

Our family had a great stay at the cabin! We fished from the dock, grilled food, and spent a lot of time on the deck watching the river traffic. It is so close to Parkersburg- we took the paddle wheel boat from there to Blennerhasset Island, which the whole family enjoyed. Thank you for sharing your home!
