About this property

You'll have the entire cabin to yourself and will only share it with other guests in your party.

‘’Castle Colucci’’Magnet Indiana,a slice of Heaven where the world stands still.

We are situated right ON the Ohio River in the ‘Horse Shoe bends’, turning back & forth through the Forest. Riverboat Captains tell us this is the Prettiest stretch of River from Pittsburgh Pennsylvania on down to the Gulf Of Mexico! We are surrounded by the rolling hills of the ‘Hoosier National Forest’, Beautiful old growth trees stretching right down to the water. We have unlimited up and down River views. Our ‘’Castle Colucci’’ has a capacity to hold 20 guests, if there are 2 people to each King, Queen, or sofa sleeper, and one person to each twin bed. We tell our guests that this arrangement will be dependent on your group’s personal privacy needs. Most respond that their large Families or close friends will be just fine sharing a bedroom. Our four bedroom ‘Herons Nest’ cabin is within walking distance if more bedrooms are needed. Flanking both sides are the first & second bedrooms and your first two bathrooms. Entering from Street level, our Great Room holds our living room with two couches, open kitchen & large dining table to comfortably hold 10-12 guests. The living room has a 36’’ flat screen TV & DVD player, and fiber optic WI-FI run directly to your cabin. The oversized dining room table will hold your feasts as well as board games, card games & the many puzzles built over the years. Flanking both sides are the first and second bedrooms and first & second bathrooms. Down the spiral staircase to the lower level are two more large bedrooms, with two more full bathrooms. Between the bedrooms is The Pool Table room to test your skill. A 40” flat screen TV overlooks your game. Both upper & lower levels walk out to your 50 foot covered balconies, where the River scene is ALWAYS breathtaking,..whether it’s boats, barges, wildlife, or another Gorgeous Sunrise or Moonrise! Both balconies look due East over the Ohio River, so whether you watch a Sunrise or Full Moon Rise, each brings its own unique Beauty. On a full moon rise, the River transforms to ‘Moon River’ and It will ‘knock your socks off’. Your CLEAN and private Hot Tub is just this side of our comfy deck chairs. Both the upper & lower decks have chairs and picnic tables. Your campfire is to the side of your cabin, with adjustable cooking racks offset of your main fire. Whether Spinning tales, memories, or ghost stories, the youngsters will remember all their lives. Yes, stories, yarns, & ‘Smores’! The “Castle Colucci’’ is our crowning jewel, our finest cabin that has almost everything…,We just need You. We look forward to meeting you and yours, here on the Rivers edge, there really IS a little slice of Heaven, where the world stands still. We Thank you Sincerely, Michelle & Bud Colucci, owners & builders. (Mom & Pop) ☺️😊

Hot tub needed to be cleaned and water added to it. When we arrived it was only 76 degrees. The back door would not stay shut. We have to have a chair next to it. A light fixture was about to fall with wiring exposed over the stairs. 2 bedroom doors would not latch. The large flatscreen tv was a 32in with only av and one HDMI port. The cabin says it sleeps 26. Yes it could technically sleep 26. However 26 people could not be comfortable there. We had 17 stay and it was extremely tight.

Very cozy. Perfect cabin for our Christmas family weekend getaway! Everyone had a comfortable place to sleep. Kitchen was great! Loved the really long table to accommodate everyone. Christmas tree and Christmas music were a nice touch when we arrived. Overall - would recommend this cabin to anyone needing a space to accommodate a large group. Beautiful setting as well right off the Ohio River!

We had 15 ladies and plenty of room. The beds were great. The only issue was the spiders and spider webs out on the deck, but the wonderful view of the River made up for that. We will definitely consider staying here again.

We had a great weekend. Check in was easy. We were about 30 minutes and Michelle was finishing clean she aloud us to set and wait on the deck and put a couple things in the refrigerator. There was 4 couples and the description said it would sleep something like 24. It would be a house full of people. The kitchen needs a couple more skillets and a least one larger.

Home has a beautiful view, great space for family and a yard to play. Owners tske the time to call and communicate prior to check in and presented friendly. The only issue I had was the bed's were not all inside rooms, but in common areas. Not sure if there was a baetter way to break this down. We will definitely look at using this home again in the future.

Family reunion

We choose this place because of what beds were listed in the description and how it would work with the 25 of us going. When we got there the beds in the rooms were nothing like they said they were online. Where there were supposed to be queen beds in two rooms there were twins with the king beds. There was a cot to use but it was falling apart so my son ended up sleeping on the floor because it was more comfortable. Honestly all of the beds were super hard and uncomfortable, the most comfortable beds were the two leather futons that were new in the pool room, all the other beds were quite terrible. The dryer took 3 run throughs to get clothes semi dry and the bathroom in the basement had water leaking down from the shower above when someone showered in it. The river was beautiful, and there was a lot of pans and things we needed in the kitchen to use. Overall it gave us the space we needed for our family reunion and everyone had a great time, it was just had to sleep in the crappy beds.

Great for both small and large groups

Very welcoming interior, two balconies for outside fun with a hot tub that worked on the lower balcony. Wish we would have had more bird seed to refill the feeder though. Loved the four separate bedrooms with individual bathrooms. very nice long table with 10? chairs for meals, crafts, and visiting. Walkable to the river for driftwood fun. Take binoculars. Glad I had a pair for the giraffe. Downstairs is difficult to access for handicapped guests with a metal spiral staircase or wooden outside steps however, easy entry and roll-in shower is available in one bathroom. Cell service not great (go to the top of the hill for reception) which turned out to be important due to a family emergency with delayed notification. It did turn out okay thankfully but really make sure to give an emergency number (owner's) just in case. We had fun and enjoyed the house amenities.

Castle Review 05/2024

I feel the description of the castle and its accommodations were on point. Nothing to do with the castle itself but Ticks were an issue. The beds were not the most comfortable- but not the worse either. A futon was broken and unusable- this could have been an issue if we had been expecting to use, the door racks to the ref. were missing, icemaker didn't work and dishwasher seal was lying inside (we didn't use). We had plenty of toiletries, towels, dishes, cookware, grill gas, dish soap,body soap,as well as extra blankets and pillow for 1 person not sleeping in a bed - There was not enough if there had been a full 26 people. There were other available amenities as well- Hot tub (it was used by some, but the water did have an odor to it), The pool table was crowded by furniture and a little less easy to play a real game- needed more pool sticks. We really had a great time. There was alot of seating on the decks and a large dining table in cabin- Made for awesome family time. There were a few small issues that we reported to Bud- He was easy to reach and provided answers to all our questions. The only thing that I was disappointed with was that I was paying for a cabin to sleep 26- Then after payment, I was sent another bill for there being more than 2 people. I was not happy about that at all- It was for 26 and no additional fee should have been called for.

Guys Trip

The cabin was amazing, it was the perfect size for us and it had beds for all of us to stay on. Bud is amazing and really easy to communicate with. He stopped by one day to say what's up and see how we were doing which was awesome. Directly behind the place is a nice mom-and-pop tavern where all the locals go. A bunch of our friends went there and couldn't stop talking about how friendly everyone was. Overall it was an amazing time and we will definitely be coming back to Magnet IN!

Great place to stay. The view of the river was wonderful. Enjoyed the sunrise over the river. We especially loved the bathroom outside of each bedroom.
