Escape to Elizabethtown
Welcome to your private escape on the Ohio River Bluffs—an unforgettable estate set on 300 acres of picturesque farmland. With sweeping views of the river and the kind of quiet you can only find in the countryside, this home invites you to unplug, reconnect, and soak up the beauty of nature.
As you arrive, you’ll follow a mile-long private drive that winds through rolling fields, offering a scenic introduction to this remarkable property. Just as the anticipation builds, you’ll spot the river house tucked perfectly into the bluff’s edge—your serene home base for the days ahead.
Step through the fully furnished, screened-in porch—a dreamy spot for bug-free evenings, morning coffee, or a glass of wine at dusk—and into the heart of the home. Inside, an open floor plan welcomes you with soaring windows that flood the space with natural light and frame panoramic river views.

The facilities were very adequate. The house was very clean. The river view was spectacular and we enjoyed watching the barges traveling up and down the river. Would definitely recommend it.
We were looking for a comfy, large and beautiful location for a friends getaway for hiking and boards game and this was perfect. Kitchen was well-stocked and plenty of sleeping space for a group of 8 adults!
Perfect for a friends getaway. Property was in great condition. Loved sitting on the large deck watching boats go by on the river. Hot tub at night was a must. 5 stars!!

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.
Beautiful home! Deck with plenty of chairs, also a screened in patio in case of rain. Most comfortable beds ever! Fully stocked kitchen with newer appliances, great pots and pans, wine glasses and every utensil you need. Good shampoo, conditioner, bath soap, plenty of towels. Love our stay abd hope to go back soon. Everything was perfect!
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.
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.
My group of friends was looking forward to a relaxing getaway where we could just hang out and have a good time. This place was perfect! From the beautiful deck with the hot tub and adirondack chairs that overlooks the river, to the screened in porch, comfy living space with fantastic views to the oh so comfy beds this was everything we had hoped for and more!! We made one trip to Walmart and that was a bit of a drive, but we made sure to get everything we needed in the one trip. The kitchen was fully stocked with everything we needed. We cooked most meals at the house, but did visit the E-town River Restaurant for lunch and Shotgun Eddy's for dinner one evening. Shotgun Eddy's was a bit of a drive but worth it. We visited Cave In Rock which was a short drive and had beautiful views. We had a wonderful stay and loved the house!! Thank you for hosting us.
This house was amazing! It had everything we could have asked for! A couple days before we left, the owner texted me the pin to the exact location of the house because Google maps will only take you to the driveway and it's a bit of a drive after that (nothing too serious, just a couple twists and turns). It was in a great location that wasn't terribly far from anything we wanted to do. The hot tub was great and a wonderful place to watch the sunrise and sunset. The kitchen was stocked with things that other places I have stayed didn't think of, such as ziploc bags, cooking oil, etc. I did communicate with Jill (host) because I could not figure out how to operate the fan in the master bedroom. She was more than willing to have a maintenance person come out the next day to look at it but I told her not to worry about it. I also had to communicate as we got a pretty nasty storm that had done a little damage to the home (nothing major, just some screens and siding) and she always responded immediately and was very gracious in her responses. My son really enjoyed staying in the area of the house that I believe was an addition because he felt like he had his own apartment with a bedroom, bathroom, and his own entrance! We would DEFINITELY stay here again!
Great location for taking a break and enjoying the river views. The kitchen was well stocked, we enjoyed the hot tub and fire pit and just relaxing with family.
We enjoyed 4 nights and 5 days of rest and relaxation. Fully stocked kitchen to cook /bake prepare our meals. Easy to relax. Spectacular views!! We would stay again.
We loved our stay at this cabin. Jill was a great host who was super understanding and helpful with our family. The Ohio river view is phenomenal. The kitchen was well stocked and there were a lot of very nice touches to the property. It's a very isolated property which is a good thing.
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.
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.
Great property and friendly service. We had so much fun. It will always be a special place, our dear friend got engaged on our annual “camping”trip. We all had so much and enjoyed the area.
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.
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
