The Barge Inn: Your Epic Ohio River Waterfront Escape in Beautiful Prospect, KY!

Barge right in to your Prospect, KY escape! This riverfront townhouse sleeps 10 and delivers sweeping Ohio River views. Cruise out to your private 40' dock or unwind with fantastic sunsets overlooking Indiana's Charlestown State Park. Close to the region's finest bourbon distilleries, wineries, beautiful horse farms, Churchill Downs, some of KY's best golf courses—this is your launchpad for the ultimate Bluegrass adventure.

At The Barge Inn, vaulted ceilings and panoramic river views create a sense of calm from the moment you walk in. The open living space glows with natural light — ideal for slow coffee mornings or sunset unwinding. From the living room to the primary suite and lower level, every space offers tranquil water views and room to relax, reconnect, and make unforgettable memories.

Wake up to the river rolling by and the soft glow of sunrise dancing on the water. Pour a cup of coffee, step onto the balcony, and let the world slow down. You might spot a barge gliding past or a doe and her fawns enjoying breakfast by the shore — peaceful reminders that you’re exactly where you’re meant to be.

As the day winds down, grab your favorite drink and settle on the balcony for a front-row seat to the sunset. The sky melts into shades of gold, coral, and rose while the river mirrors every hue. Whether you’re sharing stories, capturing the moment, or simply soaking in the stillness, it’s the perfect way to end the day.

This trip was special for us because we were celebrating our oldest daughter's upcoming graduation and her 18th birthday. We loved our time at The Barge Inn and were all sad to leave! We will be back!

My brother and his spouse, my elderly parents and myself and my husband spent two nights there. My grown children and their children did come to visit one evening for dinner and the space was just the right size to host a family dinner. It was great to wake up and hear the tugboats and barges going down the river at night and the view of the river was spectacular. I highly recommend this place as it is spacious and perfect for a family. The kitchen was well equipped with everything that you would need. The beds were comfortable, and there were plenty of restrooms.
