Solo getaway
I had an amazing stay! A quick little get away from all the Hussle and bustle of life, I stayed for 3 days. It was so quiet and peaceful, close to all the things I wanted to see. I went to go see Garden of the Gods. The property was clean and well kept, the trails on site were well kept and beautiful.

Over all the stay was good.
The room was clean enough except that there were many carpenter ants that we killed. The dishes had chips and cracks in them. Silverware needed to be cleaned before we could use them. The toilet seat needs to be replaced! In the bathroom corners a lot of spiders were building homes.

Great place.
I love this cabin and the location. This is a beautiful spot on the river next to the woods. The cabin is clean and cozy and a great place if you’re looking for peace and quiet. I loved sitting out on the porch watching the river. The surroundings are beautiful, the grounds are well kept and very pretty. The beds were fantastic. Very comfortable. There were four of us and the cabin didn’t seem crowded at all. I definitely recommend this place for your visit to this beautiful area.

The cabin was very roomy & comfortable. The view of the river from back deck was great. It was a very peaceful trip. We enjoyed the trail at the end of road. The area was close to the places we went to see.

Beautiful Time
My husband and I had a great time at our San Damiano cabin. The view out the back porch is breathtaking. We hiked the amazing trail down all the way down to the Ohio River. Just lovely!

Excellent little getaway!
The room was very clean and decently sized. There were a decent amount of small walking trails on the property and many longer ones nearby. The office manager was very informative and pleasant to talk to! We would definitely come back again.

Weekend get away
We really enjoyed our stay! The property is extremely clean. The bungalow is somewhat dated but charming. We came for the view and it did not disappoint!! A very quiet, peaceful and relaxing property ❤️
This property is ideal for a secluded getaway. It sits over 100 ft above the Ohio River with an astonishing view, yet nestled under shade trees, an outdoor fire pit, and stretches of hearing no sounds caused by humans (though their are other cabins there as well), just the cows in the distance, a heron flying overhead, owls and birds. My wife and I went to Garden of the Gods, and quaint towns in the area. We loved it!
When you want a quiet getaway, this is a great choice. Beautiful views too!

Breathtaking view of the Ohio River!
I was looking for a place to stay to “get away from it all” and this was THE PERFECT place for me! It is a simple, VERY clean bungalow on the river!
The decor is a tad dated, but the cleanliness is what was important, and they have taken great care there!
My stay was geared around nature, and peacefulness. Thats just what I got! Bonus: Only 20min drive to Garden of the Gods, for hiking! Be sure to take what you need as far as food etc., the closest town with a small store and gas station was about 15min away, but it’s worth the visit. No doubt about it. I wil be back!

Cottage stay
I contacted the owner the night before my stay. She was so helpful and so kind. She gave me a lot of great tips about places to go visit and things to see while I was there. She left me a map and a note. She was so kind to talk with, I loved my time there. It was perfect.
