We had an issue with stove not working but the owners brought a new one the first night there. Loved the house. Very nice views. The owners are very nice. We didn't mind but the road coming to the house is a little rough. Just drive slow. If we are ever back in the area, we will stay here again.

The sunsets were beautiful off the deck! Plenty of space for vacationing with our young adult children. We all loved the home, the wildlife, and watching the river. We enjoyed the Ark Encounter and the Wright Patterson Air Force Museum, they were both excellent!
Great communication from Barry.

We had a great time. Would definitely stay again.
Some things not mentioned in the listing that we found out after booking are:
1. Bring water for drinking and cooking. They say it is safe, but still suggest you bring drinking/cooking water.
2. There is no fishing allowed from property and you can't get to the river bank from the cabin.
Neither of these affected our trip, but were things we didn't expect and found out when we got our check in details.
Bedroom details seemed a little unclear to me in the listing so this maybe helpful.
There are 3 bedrooms upstairs. One has a bed that is a swing. One has two beds. The other has one bed with ensuite bathroom.
The main level has a large bedroom with access outside and an ensuite bathroom. The drive on that side is really steep, but this bedroom is great for anyone who cannot easily get up and down stairs as the kitchen and living area is on this floor as well as a fabulous wrap around porch. There is an additional bathroom on this floor as well.
The basement has been updated in a modern feel. There is a king bed, living area, and bathroom down there. There are laundry rooms in the basement and main floor.
I wish I were there watching the boats go by and drinking my morning coffee now! It was so peaceful and beautiful. Enjoy!

This home was perfect for our family and had more bathrooms and space than we had even anticipated. My parents had their own bedroom/bathroom on the main floor, my sister and husband had the second bedroom with its own bathroom in the lower floor and my husband and I also had our own bedroom and bathroom on the upper floor. My 25 year old son had his own room and my nephews had a room which had two beds. They shared a bathroom on the main floor. Plenty of room for us to sleep and spread out. My son and nephews spend quite a bit of time in the lower level playing poker, bumper pool and my son brought video games- this was their hang out room. The rest of us spent a lot of time on the huge porch just soaking up the view of the Ohio River and the many barges that come by. The kitchen is fully stocked and we ate every meal at the house except one for the week. The location and neighbor area is very safe and quiet. We went to the Ark which was 40 mins away, kayaking in caves which was an hour and half away and to the Wright Patterson Airforce base which was amazing and free! There was also two laundry areas at the house so you can pack light. We enjoyed our family time in this beautiful home!

Our stay at the Jolly Cabin was a blessing as we celebrated 50 years of marriage with kids and grandkids and visited the Creation Museum and Ark Encounter. The kitchen helped us host large family meals and we had gorgeous sunsets and fires at night. The kids enjoyed the basement hangout area. The scenic, hilly, rustic drive added to the adventure and we saw deer, heard turkeys, fireflies, and lots of other wildlife from the porches/decks.
5.0
We were in the area to visit the Ark Encounter, Creation Museum, and Cincinnati Zoo. The location is remote and surrounded by nature, but close enough to visit all three attractions. We loved the log cabin feel and view of the river (could have spent all day watching the barges).
Host was very responsive to questions both before and during the visit.
Kitchen had all the glasses, plates, utensils, etc that we needed and there were abundant towels, sheets, etc. for the bedding. Property is large enough for a big family or multiple families, but with enough separate spaces for privacy.
For light sleepers, it's worth noting that you do hear movement and flexing floors on the levels above you.

Our family enjoyed our stay at the Log Cabin Lodge on the Ohio River. POSITIVES: quiet/pretty setting, kitchen well supplied, cute clean bathrooms, children's toys available, grills and firepit available, access to Wi-Fi/TV very good, bedrooms very sufficient. NEGATIVES: older outdoor furniture and some broken ( though may have been from result of previous guests), appeared cleaning crew had not completed laundry from previous guests, trash had not been picked up

We had a wonderful 2023 family vacation at this cabin. Our grandchildren loved the wrap around porch for playing. And we loved all the views of the river!

Great cabin along the Ohio River. Elevated views were fantastic. Big, lots of rooms and areas to gather. We had a great time and will attempt to stay here again should we attend another future Kentucky Derby. A little over an hour drive to Louisville. Thank you Barry!

I love mountain homes with wood and open beams in the forest.. Grew up in a home like this one. Loved it.

Our family had a great time and enjoyed our stay! The cabin was cozy, had great views of the Ohio River and was conveniently located between the Creation Museum and Ark Encounter. The home had everything we needed and was well stocked for cooking and the beds were comfortable. The finished basement and pool table was definitely a bonus! The road to get there and the driveway are a little steep, but other than that everything was great! The hosts were very responsive to questions. We did experience rain while we were there and there was a leak in the living room that we had to keep cleaning up, but the owner indicated he was aware and waiting for a roofer to come. I do agree with other reviews that the floors are quite creaky and sound travels between levels! Overall we had a great time and would recommend!

Had a great one night stay, beautiful sunset view and enjoyed watching the barges go down the river. Perfect place for a family to stay for a weekend or week getaway for some R&R or family fun

We, and our two adult children and their "significant others", really needed some time away together. The Jolly Cabin was less than 2 hours away. The setting provided for quality time together in the quiet of nature, yet close enough for quick outings to the Ark Encounter and parks. We had one spectacular sunset that will live in our memory banks for a long while.
The check-in process was the only challenge. But we were arriving with 15-20 minutes of daylight left, in a thunderstorm. So thankful that we were able to reach the owners, find a solution, and hopefully identify what needs to be fixed for the next arrivals.
Thank you for your hospitality!

The house is well kept, well furnished, and is spacious. The owner ensures you can reach him if any issues arise. There are plenty of beds for large parties. The view off the deck and the fireplace are my personal choice for the best selling points of the place.

We stayed in this property with our adult kids and grand kids. It was a respite from our normal fast paced lives. We cannot express enough gratitude or compliments for how well this property is thought out for a family such as ours. The location does not disappoint and the views are breathtaking. Lose the stress and hang out in this place for a few days. Thank you to the host family for everything. The Greenes

The Jolly cabin was a hit with our family (ages 1 - 67)! The cabin was as advertised. We really appreciated having several full bathrooms and a nicely equipped kitchen for all of our cooking adventures. Watching barges, boats and even planes on the river really did provide a lot of unexpected entertainment.

We had a family weekend at the cabin to celebrate two birthdays and to visit The Ark, Cincinnati Zoo and the Creation Museum. The cabin was perfectly centrally located to those three attractions and it held our crew comfortably. The view of the river was so peaceful and made amazing early morning breakfast and sunset card games so enjoyable. Highly recomu
