Ohio River House

Enjoy a family get away.

The space

Enjoy a memorable family getaway in this renovated riverfront home, directly on the Ohio River. Take in the breathtaking three-mile river view while grilling on the deck, relaxing in the yard, or gathering around the fire pit under the stars. Nature lovers can walk just 0.1 mile to Kope Hollow Nature Preserve, a beautiful 54-acre preserve featuring wildflowers, mature woods, scenic trails, and stunning waterfalls. Experience the perfect blend of relaxation, nature, and river views.

THE SPACE

To get your stay started, we provide a couple of days of dishwasher pods, laundry pods, shampoo, body wash, and a few regular and decaf coffee pods. This gives you time to unpack and settle in or purchase additional items locally for your stay.

We have croquet, cornhole, and ladder toss available in the garage room. The garage room uses the same access code as the house.

We provide one bundle of firewood for use in the fire pit.

PLEASE NOTE: The gas fireplace is NOT FUNCTIONAL.

OTHER THINGS TO NOTE

Ripley, Ohio, holds a significant place in the history of the Underground Railroad. Located along the Ohio River, the village stood directly across from the slave state of Kentucky, making it an important crossing point for freedom seekers escaping north.

Ripley was home to courageous abolitionists, including Rev. John Rankin and John Parker, who risked their lives to help enslaved people on their journey toward freedom.

Today, visitors can explore this powerful history and discover why Ripley is considered one of the most important Underground Railroad communities in the region. Visit the Rankin House and the John P. Parker House while you're in Ripley.
