We really loved our stay here. The river was right by us and we could take a nice little walk to it. Loved the original pictures of the building and it was all we needed!

We visited Gardens of the Gods and Cave in the Rock, both places we loved. The rental property was near both parks. The house was just what we wanted. It had everything we needed. There were limited restaurants but we enjoyed cooking at home and then sit by the fire pit afterwards. Would rent this place again if we find ourselves in that area.

Our experience was great! The home was beautiful and perfectly located for peace and quiet. The host was amazing to work with. I couldn't have asked for better communication. If you stay in this house, make sure you visit the ice cream shop next door for cool stuff and the best ice cream around!

Very cute renovated building. Just a couple steps away from the Merchentile...which has cute gifts, excellent ice cream and a very nice lady that manages it. Couple steps away to the covered landing over looking the Ohio river. Couple steps from a resturant. The tiny home had everything we needed. Would definitely stay here again!

We needed a place to stay near Shawnee National Forest. We were more than pleasantly surprised with this tiny home. We only bookes one night, but wished we had stayed longer to enjoy the house and neighborhood. The house had all the necessities to make breakfast and we slept comfortably. We would definitely stay here again, only next time, we'll stay longer. The neighborhood had a corner restaurant, bar, and ice cream parlor we would have loved to check out. paelor The house had

This little house was very nicely remolded along the Ohio River. The rustic industrial decor was awesome. Perfect for a little get away. It was close to the Garden of the Gods for some hiking. The E-Town bar was across the street and had a band playing Saturday night. We ate at a hole in the wall restaurant called Shotgun Eddys that we enjoyed.

This is a well done refurbished business turned into a great one bedroom home with a fenced in back yard. Look out the window and see the Ohio River. Close to many Shawnee Forest sites.

We hiked the garden of the gods and needed a place to stay on the way to Tennessee and this worked perfectly. Owner responded quickly. Not many places to eat so was great to cook our own dinner. Checkout the shop next door for some delicious ice cream! Would stay there again is the need arose. Check out the cave in rock which was 11 minutes away then Took the Ohio river ferry to continue our journey which was a fun experience.
