The Riverview Home provided us the luxury of plenty of space and was comfortable and inviting. We were in the area to visit with family and this was an ideal location for us. The decks were the “go to spots”in the evening. Morning coffee was enjoyed on the big front deck watching river activity and some beautiful sunrises. This trip was very relaxing!

Great stay!

This was our first VRBO experience. The chair lift on the stairs was great for my mom. We really enjoyed the front balcony in the mornings and the evenings. The view of the river was excellent! I loved the proximity to the park and went over every morning of our stay to walk and run. The suggestions in the book provided were wonderful! We would stay here again!

Fantastic Views and Great Space for Family Gatherings

This house was perfect for my husband and me plus our two daughters and their families. Enough bedrooms for all and plenty of bathrooms for use, particularly when you have little kids. The kitchen was well- equipped and the outside areas (multiple decks) were great. Not to mention the view of the Ohio River and the hot tub. We would gladly rent this space again if we travel north another time!

What a view!

The view from the front deck is amazing! Watch the river go by! 4 bedrooms and everyone said the beds were comfortable. The house is bright with lots of sunlight coming in. The house shows it's age a bit and could use some new carpeting. We chose this property for the 4 bedrooms. Unfortunately, there wasn't enough seating in the living room for everyone unless you used the uncomfortable, "dining room" like chairs. Overall, the property will work for large families and gatherings for those with average expectations.

Family adventure to the ARK & Creation Museum

The little town of Aurora is a hidden gem. The downtown area is only 5 minutes away and has several restaurants to choose from. Walmart & Kroger are also only a short drive away for anything you might need. This home is located across from a playground and walking/biking trail perfect for our group! We didn't use the bikes available only because we had a quick trip, but what a blessing they are on site for those that can take advantage of them. The items for the younger travelers made things so nice - the pack n play, highchair, plastic plates, bowls, cups, forks and spoons - thank you!
