Overview
Waterfront Cabin on Ohio River is a smoke-free vacation home in Athens County (Little Hocking area), set in a secluded spot directly overlooking the Ohio River. Guests have exclusive use of the entire cabin plus the adjoining wrap-around deck, covered patio, dock area, and mowed lawn. It’s positioned for relaxed river time—sunsets, boat-watching, and fishing from the dock.
Layout & In-unit features
The top floor serves as the main living area, with bedrooms supplied with complete bedding. The cabin includes air conditioning and a fully equipped kitchen stocked with dishes, silverware, cookware, and essentials like a coffee maker, toaster, microwave, refrigerator, and stove/oven. Practical stays are supported by an in-unit bath with towels for each guest and a washer/dryer.
Outdoor spaces & recreation
A wrap-around deck furnished with a patio set and grill is designed for outdoor meals and river views. Below, a large covered 32 x 50 concrete patio adds a swing, ping pong table, and two patio sets. Steps lead down to a waterside deck and a dock that’s suitable for sunbathing or fishing; boat parking at the dock is allowed (no on-site ramp).
Location & nearby highlights
The cabin is about 20 minutes from Parkersburg, West Virginia, and roughly 30 minutes from Ohio University. For outings, Blennerhassett Island is a recommended nearby attraction; cultural stops in the broader area include the Lee Middleton Doll Museum and the Oil and Gas Museum, with landmarks such as Fort Boreman Park and Smoot Theater. Dining options within driving distance include Tubby Turtle (pizza), Las Trancas Belpre Ohio (Mexican), and several steakhouses such as Huffman’s Prime Steakhouse, Texas Roadhouse, and LongHorn Steakhouse.

Best for
This property suits travelers who want a private, riverside getaway with significant outdoor living space, including a wrap-around deck, covered patio, and a dock for fishing or relaxing by the water. It’s also a strong fit for self-catered stays thanks to the fully stocked kitchen, grill, and washer/dryer. Boaters who can launch elsewhere may appreciate being able to park a boat at the dock.
Travel tips
If you plan to bring a boat, note that dock parking is allowed but there is no ramp on-site; Belpre State Boat Ramp is about 10 minutes away. The cabin is in a secluded setting, so plan to drive for dining and supplies (Parkersburg is around 20 minutes away). For flights, Mid-Ohio Valley Regional Airport is the closer option compared with West Virginia International Yeager Airport.
