Wonderful location, with some dining caveats
Our party consisted of three elderly siblings and two spouses who try to assemble annually while still possible. Unless you are planning to prepare all meals within the cabin (which is fully equipped to so), dining facilities nearby are few and far between. You should include this factor in you selection of vacation locations. On the bright side, the location is perfect for relaxing with an amazing view.

Magnet stay
Thought the cabin was ok. Air conditioner is inadequate for the cabin. There were fans throughout the place but were not nearly enough. There were only 3 of us for the weekend. If the cabin was filled with max guests allowed, it would have been very uncomfortable. Cabin was equipped with everything we needed. I don’t believe it is worth what we ended up paying after all the add-ons and fees.

Not quite what we expected
It is a lovely location, and has a beautiful view. The main issue we had was that the uppermost loft bedroom, that we had counted on for one of our kiddos was not usable as the temperature up there was unbearably hot. The second issue was that the fold-up bed advertised in the listing (that we had counted on for another kiddo) was not functional. So ultimately we were down 2 beds that we had counted on. In all fairness - we did not contact the host to complain because a) it was very late when we realized either of these things, and b) we didn't feel there was anything they'd be able to do about it so last minute. So they did not have the opportunity to rectify it, though I'm not sure they could have. We tried to make do with the space we had, but ultimately it was not a comfortable situation for our large family, so we opted to leave on day 2, rather then sleeping there again. If you have a smaller group, it is lovely, but I would think twice if you are counting on those 2 beds in the summer:( One other thing to consider, it is in the middle of nowhere. Which can be great, but important to know that there is nothing around. This was not a negative for us, but it was definitely further away from gas/food/civilization than we expected.

Breath taking views of Ohio River. Perfect venue for our desires (sibling re-union). Cabin needs some TLC but more than adequate for a "rustic Cabin". Very responsive hosts.

Nice place. Convenient location.
The place was nice. Read through other reviews about bedrooms and such beforehand. We did so we were not surprised and it fit us fine. There were a lot of little spiders in the house…it may be time to spray. We spent very little time at the cabin but it’s comfortable and a great view. Boat ramp is very close. We ventured to Tell City for breakfast at Julie’s and it was worth the drive.

Listing lied
It was stated it is a 4 bedroom. It is only 2 with a loft that has a bed and a basement room with a bed. Neither of these provide any privacy. The picnic table broke while 3 of our guest were sitting on it and my son took a screw to the head because a board was sitting hanging over the end leg with the screw exposed

Great Cabin and Location
Our Family REALLY enjoyed the place and the entire weekend. One son said this is the best place we've stayed! My husband said he wished he could have met Bud. This is the first cabin built in Bud's bunch of rentals, I believe. I think small fixes and deep cleaning are coming when time allows. None of the issues affected how much we really enjoyed our stay! We really hope to come back next year, maybe with a larger family bunch! It was GREAT! Thank you, Bud and Michelle! (8-)

Perfect location
The location is beautiful! Right on the river. We had 7 adults in the cabin and had plenty of room for all of us. Kitchen and bathrooms were well stocked. Perfect place to stay for the Kentucky Derby as it’s away from all the crowds, but close enough to get to the track early! If not going into Louisville, it’s a great place to relax and enjoy the outdoors from the wrap around deck.

Views vs. Bugs
Beautiful Views from main level and upper level open loft(bedroom). Only 1 private bedroom. Upstairs was open for anyone on porch and living room to see, and other bedroom downstairs was a walk through. We had a peaceful stay with only a couple of hiccups. What we thought were cockroaches hampered the use of the kitchen area. Some of the furniture was not safe to use on the porch and in dining room. Communication was great. Owner came right over and said there was roach spray under the sink, and was good at communication for checkin. The grill on the porch was easy to use propane, and had tremendous views. So peaceful, and as you would expect to get that kind of peace and quiet, it's not close to anything(grocery, shops, etc...) It was just two elderly couples, so we had plenty of room except for the living area where we had a couch for 3 people and no other comfortable furniture. We had 3 chairs on the porch that were comfortable, but the other was not safe. Needs some updating of furniture for rockers on porch and comfortable furniture in the living room. It was okay for us 4, and we wanted the peace and quiet to enjoy the views!

Bachelor party
The place was great for the weekend! Plenty of room and space for everyone! A couple things I would say was the communication could’ve been better between the host. Also with saying that, the boat dock was wrecked from the flooding and we didn’t find out until we got there. Luckily a boat launch was down the street so it worked out but would’ve been nice to know. With that being said the place exceeded expectations, the view was awesome

A great place to stay!!!!
We loved our stay in Magnet! It’s so peaceful here and we were sad to go. The view is to die for!! Bud was kind enough to provide a local map with points of interest. We did a couple of them and this did not disappoint!! So do them:) The only reason I gave 1 less star is that AC couldn’t keep up. The house was pretty warm on arrival and lots of house fans(very much appreciated) to help keep things cool along with drapes closed. The 3rd and 4th floors were not used due to this(and we only had 2 people). We did however find comfort by using basement to keep cool! Minor thing, but good to be aware of! Otherwise we enjoyed our stay!!!

Awesome Group Cabin
Great view, especially from the hot tub! Rural setting with a lot of space for multiple friends/family to spread out. The owner, Bud, actually built these cabins. Super cool. When you arrive, you check in at the office across the street to sign leasing agreement, but I didn't know this beforehand. So, a way to improve from a visitors stand point would be to make this more clear for guests. Otherwise, the owner was very quick to respond to any messages sent through the app. I would stay here again.
