Thanksgiving weekend
Since our new condo was not ready to move in, we needed a place for the family to have Thanksgiving weekend. The cabin is perfect. Plenty of room for everyone and a wonderful kitchen. The view is so nice but yet we were within 45 minutes of home. Made it easy for everyone to come and go. Thank you

Excellent Property With Lot of Room for All
We stayed an extended weekend at the Jolly Cabin and it was wonderful! The property is beautiful and home like and has plenty of room for lots of people. It included 5 bedrooms and 4 baths. The kitchen is nice and roomy and easy to cook in, big dining and living area. There is a large basement that is in itself like a small apartment. There were kids toys and a high chair. The outside deck wraps around the entire house and has seating in all areas as well as a porch swing. The side facing the river has a bar area to eat as you watch the boats. The inside of the cabin was decorated with antiques and has real animals that were taxidermied. Our grandson loved them! There is a huge laundry room as well. This place was wonderful. The owner Barry is easy to reach and helps with any question. I will definitely stay again if we decide to head that way again. Top notch!

Nice cabin
Could have been a little cleaner in some areas and air was set to 80 so we arrived at 4pm but at 1030pm it was still 78 degrees in the cabin. Had a small problem with hot water but Barry was responsive and came out that night to fix the problem. Overall, nice cabin and we had a good time.

Family stay
It was absolutely remote and private. We were visiting the Ark, Creation Museum and the Cincinati Zoo among others and it was conveniently located in the middle of our travels. The personal service Barry offered was above and beyond The Log cabin carried some sounds in the tri level but was excellent for our big group. The two year old was fascinated by the barges passing up and down the river.

Loved the Big House
We had an issue with stove not working but the owners brought a new one the first night there. Loved the house. Very nice views. The owners are very nice. We didn't mind but the road coming to the house is a little rough. Just drive slow. If we are ever back in the area, we will stay here again.

Great views! Perfect hub for Ark and Creation Museum!
We had a great time. Would definitely stay again. Some things not mentioned in the listing that we found out after booking are: 1. Bring water for drinking and cooking. They say it is safe, but still suggest you bring drinking/cooking water. 2. There is no fishing allowed from property and you can't get to the river bank from the cabin. Neither of these affected our trip, but were things we didn't expect and found out when we got our check in details. Bedroom details seemed a little unclear to me in the listing so this maybe helpful. There are 3 bedrooms upstairs. One has a bed that is a swing. One has two beds. The other has one bed with ensuite bathroom. The main level has a large bedroom with access outside and an ensuite bathroom. The drive on that side is really steep, but this bedroom is great for anyone who cannot easily get up and down stairs as the kitchen and living area is on this floor as well as a fabulous wrap around porch. There is an additional bathroom on this floor as well. The basement has been updated in a modern feel. There is a king bed, living area, and bathroom down there. There are laundry rooms in the basement and main floor. I wish I were there watching the boats go by and drinking my morning coffee now! It was so peaceful and beautiful. Enjoy!

Beautiful home and location!
The sunsets were beautiful off the deck! Plenty of space for vacationing with our young adult children. We all loved the home, the wildlife, and watching the river. We enjoyed the Ark Encounter and the Wright Patterson Air Force Museum, they were both excellent! Great communication from Barry.

Family yearly reunion
This home was perfect for our family and had more bathrooms and space than we had even anticipated. My parents had their own bedroom/bathroom on the main floor, my sister and husband had the second bedroom with its own bathroom in the lower floor and my husband and I also had our own bedroom and bathroom on the upper floor. My 25 year old son had his own room and my nephews had a room which had two beds. They shared a bathroom on the main floor. Plenty of room for us to sleep and spread out. My son and nephews spend quite a bit of time in the lower level playing poker, bumper pool and my son brought video games- this was their hang out room. The rest of us spent a lot of time on the huge porch just soaking up the view of the Ohio River and the many barges that come by. The kitchen is fully stocked and we ate every meal at the house except one for the week. The location and neighbor area is very safe and quiet. We went to the Ark which was 40 mins away, kayaking in caves which was an hour and half away and to the Wright Patterson Airforce base which was amazing and free! There was also two laundry areas at the house so you can pack light. We enjoyed our family time in this beautiful home!

50th Wedding Anniversary Family Ark/Creation Museum Trip
Our stay at the Jolly Cabin was a blessing as we celebrated 50 years of marriage with kids and grandkids and visited the Creation Museum and Ark Encounter. The kitchen helped us host large family meals and we had gorgeous sunsets and fires at night. The kids enjoyed the basement hangout area. The scenic, hilly, rustic drive added to the adventure and we saw deer, heard turkeys, fireflies, and lots of other wildlife from the porches/decks.

Great property in a beautiful location
We were in the area to visit the Ark Encounter, Creation Museum, and Cincinnati Zoo. The location is remote and surrounded by nature, but close enough to visit all three attractions. We loved the log cabin feel and view of the river (could have spent all day watching the barges). Host was very responsive to questions both before and during the visit. Kitchen had all the glasses, plates, utensils, etc that we needed and there were abundant towels, sheets, etc. for the bedding. Property is large enough for a big family or multiple families, but with enough separate spaces for privacy. For light sleepers, it's worth noting that you do hear movement and flexing floors on the levels above you.

NEGATIVES: older outdoor furniture and some broken ( though may have been from result of previous guests), appeared cleaning crew had not completed laundry from previous guests, trash had not been picked up
