Great place to explore Shawnee Forest
We needed a place to stay near Shawnee National Forest. We were more than pleasantly surprised with this tiny home. We only bookes one night, but wished we had stayed longer to enjoy the house and neighborhood. The house had all the necessities to make breakfast and we slept comfortably. We would definitely stay here again, only next time, we'll stay longer. The neighborhood had a corner restaurant, bar, and ice cream parlor we would have loved to check out. paelor The house had

Cute house on the Ohio River
We visited Gardens of the Gods and Cave in the Rock, both places we loved. The rental property was near both parks. The house was just what we wanted. It had everything we needed. There were limited restaurants but we enjoyed cooking at home and then sit by the fire pit afterwards. Would rent this place again if we find ourselves in that area.

Welcoming little town
This little house has everything one would need. The bed was amazingly comfortable. The fried catfish on the river was excellent but is closed the first part of the week. We cooked meat purchased from the little store next door one night and it was delicious. Very high quality. We were hiking some of the paths in Shawnee and enjoyed our stay. We can’t wait to come back.

Perfect for quick drop…
We hiked the garden of the gods and needed a place to stay on the way to Tennessee and this worked perfectly. Owner responded quickly. Not many places to eat so was great to cook our own dinner. Checkout the shop next door for some delicious ice cream! Would stay there again is the need arose. Check out the cave in rock which was 11 minutes away then Took the Ohio river ferry to continue our journey which was a fun experience.

Quick stopover
This is is the cutest most comfortable and luxurious "tiny house" ive ever seen! The hosts communicated quickly and effectively. The accommodations were better than we expected. Everything was just right. My ONLY regret is that i didnt research times local businesses were open prior to our stop. Travel took longer than expected (we are in the process of moving and had a trailer along so we were too long for the ferry and had to go around). Be smarter than we were and plan accordingly 😉

Very cute renovated building. Just a couple steps away from the Merchentile...which has cute gifts, excellent ice cream and a very nice lady that manages it. Couple steps away to the covered landing over looking the Ohio river. Couple steps from a resturant. The tiny home had everything we needed. Would definitely stay here again!

This little house was very nicely remolded along the Ohio River. The rustic industrial decor was awesome. Perfect for a little get away. It was close to the Garden of the Gods for some hiking. The E-Town bar was across the street and had a band playing Saturday night. We ate at a hole in the wall restaurant called Shotgun Eddys that we enjoyed.

This is our 2nd time staying at the property. Very nice that they have something like this in the area. Property manager is kind and communicative. The unit is cute, simple and clean. Shower was nice and hot. Check out was easy. I recommend bringing slippers if you stay here in the colder as months as the concrete floor can be quite cold. There is a new coffee shop at the end of the street. Hope it stays in business!

The description of the property was 100% accurate. We found the home to be very clean upon our arrival and it is a very cozy and comfortable little place to stay. My only regret is that we didn't have a couple more days to stay and enjoy it. But, that's okay because im sure we will return.

Beautiful spot, everything we wanted
Thoroughly enjoyed our stay at the Riverside Lodge. Loved being so close to the river and being able to see it from the front stoop. The Ohio is just a gorgeous river. It was very convenient to be able to pop next door to the Mercantile for a latte--they're open at 7am on weekdays. Comfortable and very stylish, and it's great that this former storefront (apparently a laundromat most recently) has been repurposed in this way. The hosts are well organized and attentive--they sent the address and access code immediately on booking, and provided a well researched guide to things to see and do in the area. I would stay here again, no question.

Get away to connect to nature
Loved the little house! It was in a great location close to a lot of hiking. It had everything I needed. It was close to the river which was great for sunrises and sunsets. My little Lucy felt at home too. The fence in the back doesn't go all the way to the ground so if you have a smaller dog you need to be watchful. However, I would stay here all over again. Host was great and time I reached out, I heard back very timely. Thank so much for the great stay! Linda
