Short hike to the river
Property was fine and as described. It was a short hike to the river and close to attractions we visited. Neighbors were noisy (mufflerless cars they liked to rev up after hours).

Perfect home away from home
Our family consists of adult children down to 10 yr. old. All 10 of us stayed very comfortably at the house. The kids utilized the yard for football and play. The neighborhood cats were a treat for the kids as well....coming over for a pet whenever they were out. The house was so clean and well stocked of things you would need for a stay away from home. We will definitely stay again if ever in the area and we will recommend to any friends or family who go to that area.

Amazing Rental Home
Very clean, organized, and fully stocked with all necessities you might need. Communication with the owners was a breeze and they are very attentive to their renters. More than enough room for families as well as extended families too. Overall a great experience!

Mini vacation
This property couldn’t have been anymore perfect for our family. We were traveling to kings island and Cincinnati for a long weekend get away. We consisted of 4 adults and 6 kids. The kids all had their own bedroom and the adults had their own bedrooms. The house was clean and exactly as it was presented. We all had a great time!

Great place to stay to visit Creation Museum and Ark Encounter
The Rivertown Ranch was a perfect choice for our vacation with family. Everything about it was just as advertised, with plenty of comfortable sleeping space for the four adults and four children in our group. The kitchen was stocked with absolutely everything we needed to make meals and the table was large enough for all of us, including a nice outside table. Two full bathrooms were separated from the bedrooms. Everything was clean and well organized. We enjoyed the drive on the beautiful country roads and the convenience to both our destinations. Communication with the hosts was excellent. Highly recommend.

Fantastic place to stay for the creation museum and the ark! We also enjoyed the boat launch area by the river, and had fun exploring Lawrenceburg, where we got great coffee and had fun at the new park for the kids. The house has all the basic things that you need, and it is very clean and well-kept. Lots of board games were played at the table, and we were able to make all of her meals with ease. Thank you so much for a wonderful time!

Peaceful Getaway
My family attended a "Creation Vacation" with our church. We loved the property and it was even better than the pictures! The house has everything you need and more. It is very clean comfortable for a larger family. We took a walk around the block to the river and the view was amazing! Close to the Creation Museum and a reasonable drive to the Arc Encounter. We will definitely stay again and we have already recommended the property to others.
