My family and I spent a week at Kentucky Riverfront Retreat. The house is large, with plenty of room to spread out, or to be together. The owners seem to have thought about just about everything. There were big fluffy towels for the bathroom, lots of hangers in the closet, extra toiletries in case you forgot anything, and a fully stocked coffee station. The kitchen had everything we needed to cook, including condiments in the refrigerator. There was an arcade game downstairs, as well as air hockey, foosball, and several board games(try Chickapig!). The beds were comfortable, and had lots of pillows. Outside on the upper deck, there is a table, as well as a large seating area to watch the barges go by, and the beautiful sunsets on the river. We did have some issues with the thermostat, but the owner worked with us until we figured it out.
There are a few things future renters should be aware of. First of all, the TV's do not have satellite, cable, etc. They are smart tvs, so if you subscribe to streaming services, you can use those. It wasn't a problem for us because we were on the go a lot, but when my kids were younger, that might have been an issue. Oh, and speaking of kids, this house has lots of baby gear, children's movies, etc, so it seems like a good place to go with little ones. The other issues I had were that the upstairs shower was super slippery(I was very worried about falling), and the master bedroom needs more light. But those are pretty minor things, and certainly wouldn't keep me from going back.
The town of Warsaw is quaint and very quiet. We rode around looking at lots of old houses in the area, and explored the old cemetery across the main road from the house. We also drove across the Markland Dam, into Indiana. This house sits on a very quiet street, just behind a BP station and a pizza place(which was pretty good). While that may sound like a bad thing, it really wasn't. It was not at all disturbing, and we found it convenient to be able to walk over for supper, or to pick something up at the BP. The neighborhood was quiet, and the people were friendly. Be aware, though, that your options for eating out in Warsaw are very limited. I recommend Jewel's on Main(delicious!), but not the Taqueria. Plan to go to the grocery store(best we could tell, the closest Kroger or Walmart are 30 minutes away), and have things to eat at the house, unless you'll be somewhere else at mealtimes. We used this house as a home base while visiting Louisville and Cincinnati, so we were often in a city for meals, but we did cook at the house some.
We had a very nice vacation, and Kentucky Riverfront Retreat was a great place for us to relax in the evenings, after a day in Cincinnati or Louisville. I would definitely stay there again!
I am already looking forward to my return trip. Beautiful, clean home with gorgeous views of the river. What more could you ask for? Thanks again!
Views are quite beautiful! Peaceful setting. House is adequately equipped for pleasant stay. Great place for a quiet getaway.
