Great location for a stay!

We had a fantastic time during our stay! The location was ideal for us since we had family camping nearby in Shawnee, and it was close to everything we needed. The host was great! Incredibly nice and responsive! We would definitely stay here again!

Great little place if you are hiking in the area

Cute clean property with everything you need, enjoyed our stay. The only downside is the road street noise before midnight if you are a light sleeper bring a load fan or ear plugs.

We liked staying in Golconda, however, it seems like a forgotten city. We did enjoy walking the city and had a really great meal at Diver Down. It was also beautiful to walk along the Ohio River. The property was nice and had all we needed, however, it is shared with another unit and the walls are very thin. The couple we shared the walls with were very nice and thankfully not loud, but we could definitely hear them talking (not what they said, just voices). Overall, I would stay here again because we were out exploring more than we were at the property and it was a good location for us and had all we needed. The only other unfortunate part was that we did not get any check-in information prior to arriving and had a difficult time getting in touch with someone. Thankfully, a nice neighbor was outside and was able to get in touch with someone for us. It was a unique situation because it turned out the property manager was sick, but it did put a damper on things at first. All worked out and the property manager was very nice and apologetic.
