Came for a weekend of relaxing. The fishing overall in Derby wasn’t great but it was great to breathe the fresh air and take in all the amazing views offered by this home. Our second time at the property was just as nice as the first.

Beautiful, fun and relaxing

This was our third time vacationing here. We just love it. Once again, we had a wonderful stay. It was so relaxing and beautiful. The house is clean and welcoming. The pool is fun and enjoyable for everyone. The kids (and adults) really enjoyed the cows as well as the stunning views. Joann and her husband are amazing hosts and we appreciate all their help and answers to our questions about farm life. We highly recommend this beautiful property.

We’ve been here with our six grandchildren in 2020, 2021, 2022, 2023, and 2024! We love this place. When we arrived this time, the oldest grandson (now 17) stretched out his arms and said, “It feels so good to be back!”

Beautiful Home

The home is beautiful with a stunning view. The home was very clean. The kitchen was fully stocked, paper roducts included. The pool was a life saver, as it was in the 90's every day of our stay. Enjoyed the firepit and selection of tv channels. The owners were great to work with. Only downside is a few changes needed in listing. It is listed as 4 bedroom and crow's nest, then 5 bedroom and crow's nest with beds listed in a total of 6 rooms. We assumed the last. It worked out, but not as i had hoped. The kitchen would be mighty tight if you added another table and more chairs. Overall, we truly enjoyed our stay and would recommend it to others.

Family vacation

This was out second time staying at this property and everything was wonderful just like the first time! The property is beautiful and very family friendly. We weren’t able to use the pool as much this time around due to cooler weather but we had fires in the evenings and even ventured out to Owensboro a time or 2. The hosts are wonderful and very responsive if needed. Our large family loves this house and will most likely be back for more stays in the future!

Quiet get away

He had a lovely stay, we had beautiful views and ample space. We really enjoyed our stay. We were able to go to another property the owner had to see the eclipse, since this home was at 99% totality. Joann when above and beyond and we have already discussed coming back. We couldn't see house numbers on the home and it took us a minute to find the rental.

Beautiful view

The rental was great. Plenty of space for our family reunion dinner. We enjoyed the Ohio river view, and we had one evening at the fire pit for a marshmallow roast. The pool was closed (seasonal). A few tried the fishing pond out, and some of us walked around the property. Check in was great and the host always responded quickly. Everyone loved it.

Most Relaxing Get Away

First off, one cannot say enough about the views. Gorgeous. The home itself had excellent views from many rooms. Watching the barges on the river and the cows in the field was wonderful. Everyone in our group had a bed and we made two bathrooms work. The home was clean and the kitchen had everything we needed. The host was communicative from the very beginning. We all (a group of college friends) said we would be happy to stay there again sometime.
