About this property

Spacious riverfront retreat, 20 minute easy drive to downtown Louisville.

Serene respite in all seasons after a day on the Kentucky Bourbon Trail, visiting one of numerous nearby attractions or unique dining experiences like Barn8 to spend time together with family and friends, or attending Louisville events. Enjoy the deck overlooking the Ohio River in warm weather or sit around a toasty fire in the common area, also overlooking the Ohio River, in cold winter weather.

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. Has large open concept area and generous fully-shaded 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), sofa with 3 recliners that lie nearly flat, and plenty of floor space for air mattresses. All bathrooms have showers, one has a tub, 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 2 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.

You are welcome to bring your kayaks, small boats, etc. and use the dock in season. In the winter, the water view is still beautiful as from the warmth of a crackling fire as you watch an assortment of birds fly up to window from feeders.

Advance arrangements for any small day gatherings are considered on an individual basis and must be made in advance.

This rental is owner-operated, not one of many run by a distant management company. Owner is 15 minutes away and is on call 24/7.

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, 25 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.

Girls weekend getaway in Louisville
This is a beautiful property that is very relaxing and so quiet. It is very spacious and quite accommodating to the needs of our group. We loved this house! The beds were comfortable and we all slept very well. The river was so relaxing, we very much enjoyed the deck overlooking the river.

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.
