Amazing view of the Ohio River and the Owensboro bridge.

I chose this property for the river view, but it is also very quaint and comfortable . Very clean and well appointed. Comes with a family of foxes that play on the bank of the river.

I’ve been in many VRBO‘s but this one was the best by the pictures I was skeptical as they do not do justice to this beautiful home we were right on the river and the view was fantastic Brenda was a wonderful host and even came to see if we needed anything else I will definitely book here again I loved seeing the foxes in the morning and the birds sang all day long such tranquility !

Our trip definitely didn't go as originally planned and changed even as we arrived. We had to change our lodging at the last minute and Brenda was amazing to accommodate us on short notice. My kids were suppose to be staying with their dad but ended up not being able to, we all were very comfortable in this home. My dog was suppose to stay home but ended up having to come with me (my reason for last minute change of lodging) and it was so nice to have a place I knew he was welcomed! Brenda even asked if he was enjoying his stay as well, that meant so much! We will definitely be staying here again in the future!

This house was comfortable & spacious enough to spend time with our family. Not having an oven was a HUGE disappointment as we were celebrating thanksgiving there with family. Not sure why there was a very strong “dog poo” smell on the deck since we didn’t not bring animals? Overall-we enjoyed our stay & the home owner was very accommodating & quick to respond to our questions!

This was our second time staying at this gem of a property. The house is very nice and has a fantastic view of the Ohio River and downtown Owensboro. It’s just a short walk to downtown where there are plenty of restaurants and little shops to keep you busy.

Property is right on the Ohio River with an impressive, unobstructed view. Mentioned to the owner that one mattress was worn out and she said she would order a new one. A few oddities, but not deal breakers: no national tv channels available on the otherwise nice flat screen tv's, no oven and there were Alexa's, or some similar "listening" devices in the bedrooms. I don't have those and wondered about them, as there were no instructions.

Our family truly enjoyed our stay here. Easy check in, clean and quiet. Incredible view. Our young daughters playing in the yard and finding the little statues in the garden. We would love to stay again when we’re next in town.

Great stay and a priceless view of the Ohio! Our kids and dog enjoyed the big yard and we enjoyed the close proximity to activities like Smothers Park, Bluegrass Museum, and Green River Distillery.

From check in to check out everything went smoothly. The house was easy to find and the house was exactly as described. We spent most of our time on the porch overlooking the river. The bridge was lit up at night that made it so relaxing. The only thing I would have to say about the house is it needs brighter lighting, couldn’t operate the TVs in the bedrooms and there’s no stove. It didn’t interfere with our stay just a suggestion for the future. I would definitely stay again! We loved it!

The property was conveniently located to all the downtown sites, was well stocked and had a great view of the water!

Our stay was really relaxing. The view was amazing and it was very peaceful. The house is laid out to facilitate connection and conversation, and there was something for everyone! the backyard was also really beautiful with flowers, and hanging out on the deck enjoying bar-b-que and seeing the bridge at night was incredible. Brenda is a super host--very responsive, friendly, and available to help in any way. Thanks so much, Brenda!

Quiet and secluded. Perfect for peaceful relaxation. Exactly what we needed in between our bouts of exploring the area. Great space for our four-legged companions as well. LOVED speculating about the barges as they passed by on the river. Had a perfect view of the July 4 festivities! We would definitely recommend. Or return ourselves!

The view of the river from that yard/rear windows is sublime. If you want to relax, this is the place. If you want to walk to the riverfront park, this is the place. We rode our bikes around a lot. The area is very flat. No issues at all. We saw a fox overnight who stole a rope bone and an injured tennis ball. We had a groundhog visit us one morning. The number of birds is astounding. I won’t use the word nirvana...but it was nirvana. I’ll bring up one negative...the wattage of lighting inside. I would suggest money-saving LED lights with at least one light per room of strong luminescence output. The house is on a dead-end street. The only cars you will see are neighbors and turnarounds. I may ask Brenda if I can be buried there. Yes, it’s that pleasant. We thought about squatting on the property but didn’t want to rob others of the pleasure of staying there. Owensboro is a nice little city that we enjoyed very much. If you don’t get Mellow Mushroom pizza I will forever judge you. They opened in Atlanta in 1974 and it has been my favorite pizza since then. If you like relaxing to the sounds of birds and watching nearly silent barges, this is the place.

We had a nice time and loved the view of the bridge lights. Had some foxes visit us. Porch fest was fun and Friday after 5.

Great views! The sunrises and sunsets are gorgeous. The lights on the bridge are fun to watch. The river is right there! Very soothing time away.

We were in town for a remembrance for a family member and we drove 6 hours down with our kids and dog, and met my parents there as well. There was plenty of room for all of us. The dog and kids LOVED the big fenced yard. The sunset from the yard was amazing! Very close to downtown if you are looking for a trendy restaurant or pub. We saw a fox on the other side of the back fence, and the kids loved watching the barges go down the river. Great view of the bridge which lights up and changes color at night. The house was clean and quaint. We will definitely come back and stay again next time we’re in town! The owner was accommodating and easy to reach. Great place!

We had a wonderful experience staying at the River House in Owensboro. Everything was just perfect, including our communication with Brenda, our hostess. She was always helpful if we needed and helped make our experience so perfect!Rob LawrenceAtlanta

Always a pleasure staying here!! The pups absolutely love the back yard!

In Owensboro for a family wedding. View amazing! Perfect for family gathering. Only complaint is the neighborhood is less that desirable........tho we did feel extremely safe.
