Barge right in to your Prospect, KY escape! This riverfront townhouse sleeps 10 and delivers sweeping Ohio River views. Cruise out to your private 40' dock or unwind with fantastic sunsets overlooking Indiana's Charlestown State Park. Close to the region's finest bourbon distilleries, wineries, beautiful horse farms, Churchill Downs, some of KY's best golf courses—this is your launchpad for the ultimate Bluegrass adventure. At The Barge Inn, vaulted ceilings and panoramic river views create a sense of calm from the moment you walk in. The open living space glows with natural light — ideal for slow coffee mornings or sunset unwinding. From the living room to the primary suite and lower level, every space offers tranquil water views and room to relax, reconnect, and make unforgettable memories. Wake up to the river rolling by and the soft glow of sunrise dancing on the water. Pour a cup of coffee, step onto the balcony, and let the world slow down. You might spot a barge gliding past or a doe and her fawns enjoying breakfast by the shore — peaceful reminders that you’re exactly where you’re meant to be. As the day winds down, grab your favorite drink and settle on the balcony for a front-row seat to the sunset. The sky melts into shades of gold, coral, and rose while the river mirrors every hue. Whether you’re sharing stories, capturing the moment, or simply soaking in the stillness, it’s the perfect way to end the day. ## Property amenities ### Internet - Available in the house: Free WiFi ### Parking and transport - Parking on site ### Kitchen - Blender - Coffee/tea maker - Cookware, dishware, and utensils - Dishwasher - Electric kettle - Hob - Lobster/crab pot - Microwave - Oven - Paper towels - Refrigerator - Toaster ### Dining - Dining table ### Bedrooms - 3 bedrooms - Bedsheets provided ### Bathroom - 3.5 bathrooms - Bathtub or shower - Hair dryer - Jetted bathtub - Shampoo - Shower - Soap - Toilet paper - Towels provided ### Living spaces - Dining table - Fireplace ### Entertainment - Books - Smart TV with cable/satellite channels ### Outdoor areas - Balcony - Barbecue grill - Firepit ### Laundry - Laundry facilities - Washing machine ### Comfort - Air conditioning - Heating ### Pets - No pets allowed ### Suitability/Accessibility - No lift - Smoke-free property ### Safety features - No carbon monoxide detector or gas appliances (host has indicated there are no carbon monoxide detectors or gas appliances on the property) - Smoke detector (host has indicated there is a smoke detector on the property) - Fire extinguisher ### General - Unit size: 2,653 square feet ## Similar properties ![Fridge, microwave, oven, stovetop](https://images.trvl-media.com/lodging/77000000/76870000/76861100/76861066/202d6e8d.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=469&h=201&p=1&q=medium) ### ❤️Stay at Peppermint Cottage - Norton Commons -Walk eat & shop- free breakfast Prospect - Pool - Kitchen - Washing machine - Dryer 10 Exceptional 29 reviews [](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Hotel-Search?startDate=2026-02-10&endDate=2026-02-11&selected=76861066&PinnedHotelID=76861066&HadPinnedHotel=true®ionId=-1&adults=2) ![Private kitchen](https://images.trvl-media.com/lodging/123000000/122290000/122281900/122281841/e32ff61a.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=469&h=201&p=1&q=medium) ### Near Hospitals & DT \~ Nice+Parking+W/D+YUM Center Downtown Louisville - Washing machine - Dryer - Pet-friendly - Air-conditioning 10 Exceptional 1 review £115 includes taxes & fees 1 Feb - 2 Feb [](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Hotel-Search?startDate=2026-02-01&endDate=2026-02-02&selected=122281841&PinnedHotelID=122281841&HadPinnedHotel=true®ionId=-1&adults=2) ![Interior](https://images.trvl-media.com/lodging/110000000/109850000/109843200/109843107/6f4769d7.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=469&h=201&p=1&q=medium) ### Churchill Stay Near Medical – With Parking Spot!

My grown children and their children did come to visit one evening for dinner and the space was just the right size to host a family dinner. It was great to wake up and hear the tugboats and barges going down the river at night and the view of the river was spectacular. I highly recommend this place as it is spacious and perfect for a family. The kitchen was well equipped with everything that you would need. The beds were comfortable, and there were plenty of restrooms. ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/988da64f-125d-4780-b5e3-6ba3258f41a1-1767037066022.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ##### Cindy L.
