Ohio River Guest House

This house is absolutely amazing! The house is a short walk to the Ohio river which was absolutely amazing to wake up to. Definitely a place where we were able to come together as a family. We did notice there was a bit of dust and there were a couple of what we thought were lady bugs inside, turns out it’s another form of invasive beetle. There were plenty of instructions on how to maintain the property which were easy to follow but some of the short falls were we had to bring our own towels and sheets. We did travel from California to Ohio so having to stop to look for cheap sheets and towels was not on our list to do but had to incorporate it into our plans. The dryers timer is inaccurate so had to play with the settings a bit to get our clothing dry and we did find some expired items around the house to include medication in a first aid kit and items in the pantry/refrigerator. We will stay here again in the future just be better prepared with the linen situation.

Wonderful house! Very cozy. Loved sitting on the deck and watching the river. Had a great stay! Very quiet and relaxing.

The home was located where we was fishing so we took advantage of its location The home was clean and had everything we needed

As a frequent (multiple times per year) and long-time VRBO user (over 20 years), the cleanliness of this property and communication with the owner/manager were not at the standard we have come to expect. It is a beautifully furnished lovely family home in a great setting. The owner is not responsive to VRBO messaging or email, but did reply after I texted her personal cell phone. Linens are not provided, and it would be helpful if that were more obvious in the listing. When we arrived, the kitchen and main floor bath were obviously not clean. The owner offered to send someone to clean, but I had already cleaned those areas (toilet, sinks, counters) so that we would be comfortable using them. The floors had not been swept in some time. The check-out checklist asks guests to sweep the floors before they leave, so whether the dirty floors were because previous guests had not done so or because a cleaning company failed to do so, is unclear to me. Guests would not normally be asked to clean and also pay a cleaning fee. To the owner's credit, our cleaning fee was refunded. My husband made a couple of repairs to the property - one of which was mentioned in a review from January (anchoring the dishwasher). Between cleaning and repairs/maintenance, we left the house in better condition than when we arrived. Ultimately, though, it is the responsibility of the owner - not a guest - to ensure that the home is clean and maintained.
