Holiday rentals with a kayak in Ohio River

This was just what we needed after an eventful trip. The house sits right on the lake and everything you need to enjoy this setting was included (firewood, kayaks, condiments, etc.) The house had a beautiful view from the large windows in the dining area but also several sitting areas outside as well. The lake is nice and serene with geese, cranes and eagles sightings. The rooms were decorated very nicely and every space was so clean. We would definitely recommend this to anyone looking for a nice relaxing weekend at the lake!

What an absolute gem of a stay. The property is impeccably maintained and so beautiful. The guests house that we stayed in was so comfortable and very clean. The bed is quite possibly the most comfortable bed I have ever slept on. The pool and the hot tub are perfect. The doggo’s are super sweet and lovable. Danielle and the rest of the team are all very smart and a pleasure to talk with. We will definitely be referring the place to our friends and will be back ourselves every year as long as it’s available.

Anthony kept a very clean Airbnb and was very flexible and easy to work with, would highly recommend!

Krista was always kind, responded almost instantly to questions, provided canoes and kayaks for lovely paddle into the wilderness and shared her most lovable and friendly cat.. Toby who was always ready to greet and love upon us 😊

We had a beautiful weekend here! The porch, pool and kayaks made the weekend amazing. The house is large and has lots of space! The owners were very responsive and made the weekend perfect!

Swan's Nest is cozy and comfortable and located in beautiful surroundings. This was my second stay and I hope to be back next year.

We had a wonderful time at Josh's Sanctuary!! The place was so beautiful! I highly recommend this beautiful gem! We were there for my wedding with family. Lots of things to do. Perfect place for my grandchildren! Josh is very responsive and kind! Thank you Josh for letting us make memories at the Sanctuary!

We had the best time! We spent a single day and night there but I have to say how PERFECT everything was. There were a lot of fun things to do and it literally was the perfect place for us. They were always answering quickly and made us feel like at home. We definitely hope to go back! The house itself is spotless and it has everything you might need, if I could give it a 100 I would 🩵

Mary,Will and (Lily...dog) were wonderful, very friendly stopped over to introduce themselves. We had a slight issue first night, we called and they had someone there the next day....I'm positive if we lived close we would be friends! Their property is just beautiful with the house probably no more than 30 feet from the Little Miami River. We will definitely go back. They are wonderful hosts you can't go wrong with their cottage...I mentioned we were vegan and Mary had vegan snacks for us! Thank you again for your hospitality.

We loved our long weekend at the cottage! It was such a peaceful setting that allowed us to relax and recharge. The lake-view from the deck, in the morning and evenings was awesome. It was a little too chilly for water activities, but we look forward to returning in the summer and taking full advantage of ‘lake life!’ The host was so accommodating. We loved the location in proximity to the daily activities we were doing-Creation Museum/Newport, visiting distilleries in Frankfort and the local Ark Encounter.

Our stay at The CliffTop Cottage was very enjoyable. It is very clean, well furnished and cozy, with thoughtful touches throughout. The surrounding area is beautiful and it was very peaceful. We plan to stay there again when we are in the area.

David’s cabin was inviting, peaceful and a perfect getaway. We loved the sauna, hot tub and fire pit. We will definitely be back and highly recommend this spot to anyone looking for a beautiful escape into nature.

Our stay was a week at the end of May 2025. The Cicadas were loud and active. The heavy rains and high lake levels caused logs and debris to basically block our dock so we couldn’t use the provided kayaks or paddle boards… just Mother Nature. We did enjoy a couple of bonfires in the evenings with plenty of firewood provided. S’mores were also supplied along with forks. There were a lot of sitting areas on the porch and decks and yard. The cottage was clean with a spacious living room and kitchen, lovely decorated with plenty of dishes and linens supplied. There is a dollar store and an ice-cream store 10 minutes away. All in all our family enjoyed this cottage.

This place was amazing! It's so peaceful and beautiful. They had everything you could possibly need, including a tray of snacks and wine, and the blankets were so comfy! Everything was very clean, and the included kayak/paddle boat is a plus!

The place was so beautiful and clean and private despite owners being nearby and readily available. We arrived on my 60th birthday and there was on the table entering the cabin a Happy 60th Birthday welcome note on the chalk/dry erase board. Made me feel special! We had quite the rather funny experience with the hot tub. Let's say I felt like I was in Willy Wonka's Bubble Room!! I never laughed so hard 🫧🫧🤣😂. Jenny was quick to respond with a fix. We didn't use the paddle boards but fished from the shore and from the dock. Caught (and released plenty of bass (I got the biggest) and hubby got a huge catfish. Actually my hairdresser said they stayed here several years ago and she caught the large catfish too!! Anyway, we were so impressed on arrival that when I went online there was an extra night available before the next renter so we booked it with a couple hours after arrival!! Although it was rainy/stormy a couple times. Many amenities we didnt use, firepit/fireplace. I give👍👍!!

great location. very cozy and relaxed. if you're an nature lover. you'll be right at home. this is my second time staying and will continue to come back

Our family really enjoyed staying at this beautiful cabin on our visit to Kentucky. With the screened in porch and back deck, it was a great space for us. The cabin itself was cozy and warm. We felt like we were staying at a friends house. It was the best stocked kitchen I’ve ever had in an Airbnb as well! Great for cooking, grilling and baking. Every time I reached out to our hosts, they were quick to respond and help. I highly recommend the new pizza place on the corner too! It’s only open on the weekends, but it’s a great spot.

This place was perfect for a weekend getaway. The place was clean and felt like home. The backyard area with the fire pit was perfect and the ability to purchase the whiskey barrel staves directly from him made it incredibly easy.

Cozy spot right on the lake. Aaron was a great host, communicated well.

We found Carolyn’s place to be peaceful. The view of the lake is beautiful from the back porch. The house is clean. We were communicated with very well. She even checked to make sure we arrived okay and asked if we needed anything. She gave great instructions on finding the house. We would recommend this home to others if they are looking for a peaceful stay. The house is not far from some great distilleries as that is one of the reasons we came to visit. The surrounding areas are incredibly beautiful. Grocery stores are not far as well. We would visit again.

Barb's place was extremely serene and private. It's a Birder's paradise. Easy put in/ take out spot for kayaking. The cottage was very cute and clean. The back deck and hot tub were nice and relaxing. Will stay again.

We absolutely loved staying at Rivers Edge! Cutest little cabin with the best view! We got to see a fox across the river looking for some food and a family of deer crossing the river this morning before we left! Cabin was stocked with everything you need and the cleanest Airbnb we have ever stayed in! We will be back and refer all our friends to stay at this mountain paradise!

Thank you for sharing your piece of paradise. You had everything there we needed! We felt at home with a better view!

Absolutely loved the place. Would definitely stay again.
