Escape to Elizabethtown

Enjoy panoramic views and privacy from this riverfront estate located on the Ohio River Bluffs. Situated on a stunning 300 acre property of farm land and hiking trails, you’ll enjoy unlimited outdoor potential.
As you turn into the drive, you’ll follow a mile-long, private road winding around the property giving you an excellent tour of it’s substantial acreage. You’ll see the river house off in the distance as you round the final corner.
Upon arrival, you’ll enter the home through the fully-furnished, screened-in porch; the perfect place to enjoy a cool, mosquito-free evening on the river. After passing through the porch, you’ll enter the home’s main living area. The open plan invites beams of natural light inside through an expansive wall of windows.
The first floor offers a guest bedroom with two queen beds and a primary bedroom with a king bed. A dining area accommodates seating for 10, while the kitchen counter has seating for an additional 2 offering plenty of space for gathering and entertaining your whole group. The living room features a gorgeous fireplace and a flat-screen television making it the ideal spot for watching the game or reading a book. The recently updated kitchen with new stainless steel appliances makes preparing meals as a family enjoyable. The laundry room and pantry with complete guest access has all the extra storage and closet space you’ll need.
Upstairs you’ll find two guest bedrooms, one with a king bed, the other with two full beds and a shared bathroom with shower/tub combo.
All bedrooms are well-appointed and traditionally furnished, with private patio access and stunning views from primary bedroom. The bathrooms are smaller in size but fixtures have been recently updated. Bathroom toiletries included are high-quality Aveda brand shampoo, conditioner, and body wash.
The biggest selling point is the first floor walkout patio that is home to the 5-person spa. The patio extends the entire length of the river house with bench seating throughout. It’s the ideal location for a private yoga class, cocktails, or a sunrise cup of coffee. From here, you’ll experience the most breathtaking panoramic views of the Ohio.

Absolutely gorgeous property right on the Ohio River. So peaceful. Lots of great hiking nearby. What a treat to sit out on the spacious deck and relax. Hot tub and fire pit were a huge plus. House is spacious and very comfortable. We would love to come back.

Wonderful!

The property was exactly as described. The property was very clean and well appointed. Jill (host) knows how to host! She was very communicative through messages. She provided an advance look at the property’s welcome book (which is very detailed with great information) helping us plan our stay. The property had plenty of outdoor play space for the kids and relaxing areas for adults. While isolated and private, it is conveniently located close to many hiking options. This is a 5 star plus rental. We highly recommend and would definitely stay again.

River House was lovely

We really enjoyed our time at River House. 5 adults, 5 kids and lots of space. Such a peaceful location - quiet and secluded. Hot tub and fire pit was great. This house had so many little, unexpected ‘extras’ - highly recommend.

A fun get away

Our whole family had a great time at the Shawnee National Forest. It was our first trip with everyone. The house was perfect - plenty of room for the 11 of us comfortably and was kept up nicely. When we get back down that way, we'll see if this house is available.

We spent thanksgiving weekend here. Made thanksgiving dinner. I think the whole vibe made this holiday one of our best ones yet. The house was so cozy and fitting for the holidays. Jill made us feel very welcome. I would definitely book another holiday here. We had a great time! The River and the stars was amazing.

Great cabin with nice views

Pictures dont give the place justice. We were a group of friends, we really enjoyed our stay, the place is very isolated, no houses around. Jill was great with communication before and during our stay, we used the hut tub every night, weather was great in June and we were surprised that there were no mosquitoes. Overall, would definitely recommend the place

A Welcomed Retreat.

The Riverhouse was a welcomed retreat from our busy lives. The home was beautiful, and the river was peaceful. It was the perfect amount of space for our family of five, and everything we could possibly need was there. Jill did a great job communicating with us, and all our questions were answered in the welcome packet.

River house

It was so relaxing sitting on the deck watching the river and listening to the birds. The house was close to everything we wanted to do. We enjoyed seeing all the deer. The house was clean. We also enjoyed the screened in porch. There was plenty of room outside for all the activities we wanted to do.

E-Town River House

The property is beautiful and secluded, with hundreds of acres to roam. Wonderful view of the Ohio River from the huge deck. The home is immaculate, perfectly stocked with more than just the essentials. We used this as a base-camp for hiking in the Shawnee National Forest. Can't wait to return next year. Thanks Jill!

Great House Near Shawnee National Forest

Jill's place is amazing. Very remote and peaceful with stunning views of the river. Close to Shawnee National Forest and plenty of room for frisbee and other lawn games. The house was better than the pictures and had plenty of room for our group of 6. We loved the easy to use fire place and the kitchen had everything you could need! Even though this place is remote, the wifi was really strong and we had cell service the whole time. Jill was super responsive to questions. Would highly recommend it.

Gathering of Friends

We had a group of 7 people from 4 different states gathering here for the weekend. We had plenty of space for us all. The house and property is beautiful. The weather wasn't the best for us, we wished we could have used the outside a little more. Communication with the owner was wonderful. We had a couple things pop up, but the owners were on top of handling things over and above our liking. Would love to come back again with better weather, the views are beautiful.

Great stay at River House

WOW this place is amazing! The host is great and prompt with communication before and during our stay. The house is stunning on a bluff overlooking the Ohio river on land full of history. It's appointed with everything you need - from a fully stocked kitchen with tons of plates and silver wear and gadgets to house Bluetooth Sonos speakers to high end tolietries and the most luxurious beds and linens we have ever slept on! The screened in porch is great for a bug free family meal, back porch with hot tub and firepit is perfect for hanging out and connecting and the living room fireplace with plush blankets for snuggling. Close to awesome hiking at Garden of the Gods and other beautiful trails. It's a definite 5 star MUST STAY!

Could not be better!

We stayed at Jill's property for a mother's day weekend with 5 adults and found the home and grounds to be spectacular in every sense of the word! The land is made up of gorgeous rolling hills, rocky bluffs & a vast expanse of riverfront. We found ourselves wanting to just stay at the property and walk around the grounds! As far as the house, it strikes the perfect balance between a clean, well-appointed house and a warm/comfortable home. We found the living room/kitchen to be very inviting and not too stuffy while the bedrooms felt closer to luxury hotel rooms. All of our guests couldn't get over their bedroom & attached bath. We will be back 110%! Could not have been happier with our stay!
