Our Property

Nestled among 10 acres of trees and wildlife, this true tiny home on wheels offers plenty of privacy and peace and quiet from the hustle and bustle of life. It is located on the same property as our personal home and a pole barn that operates as the offices for our small businesses. If you are staying during the week, expect to see a few of our team members as well as other guests filtering in and out. If you've always wondered what it would be like to experience true Tiny Home Living, you have come to the right place! Stargazers Retreat is (1) of (3) newly custom-built tiny homes within the Visions on the River (VOTR) Tiny Home community. Please come and appreciate the beauty and craftsmanship of the work from the team at Vision Construction (our custom home building and remodeling company).
We're so glad you will join us. We will be happy to help with any needs during your stay, while respecting your privacy.

First Floor

The first floor of this tiny house features a full bathroom, fully equipped kitchen, and plenty of storage. At the front of the house, there is a convertible seating/dining/sleeping nook that can be converted from a table to a queen size bed. High speed internet and Wi-Fi is available and a smart TV.

Loft

A staircase leads you up to the bedroom loft. Watch your head! The loft is just under 4 feet high and perfect for those who enjoy a cozy adventure. It may not be ideal if you are not comfortable bending over. Once you lay down, you will find yourself gazing at the stars through the two skylights placed above the bed for an immersive nature experience.

Outside

The outside covered patio overlooks the river and features a relaxing six-person hot tub w/ 35 custom massaging jets, seating area for 5-6, and propane grill (we provide propane and all cooking utensils). There is a fire pit/chairs just a few steps away - ideal for campfires in the summer and fall (we provide firewood and fire starters for 1 small campfire - with more firewood bundles available for sale). Also relax and enjoy an afternoon siesta or reading a book on the covered patio.

For our guests free use, we have (4) kayaks located on our private dock that are shared with other guests also staying on our property. One in which is a tandem kayak. We do provide all paddles and a few life jackets that are adult small and mediums. We recommend providing your own life jackets if needing different sizes.

If you would like to bring your own boat or jetskis you are welcome to tie up to our personal dock during your stay. Just give us a notice so we can be prepared. There is a public boat ramp and launch just 2 miles down the road in downtown New Richmond. (Please know we are unfortunately unable to rent our personal jet skis or pontoon boat for liability reasons according to our insurance company since the Ohio River is considered a "commercial waterway" with barge traffic.

If you love to fish, fishing is definitely allowed and possible on our 1000’ of personal riverfront property. There is easy access to the riverbank/beach and during the boating season you can fish right off our personal dock which also has 4 Adirondack chairs for your pleasure. Please remember to bring all your fishing gear as well as your fishing license as it is still required by state law (and you never know when a game warden is patrolling the river).

** Please ALSO keep in mind that our private dock (shown in pictures) is usually only available between the time @ 1st or 2nd week of June and stays in water until @ mid September. This could always change based on the water levels of the Ohio River which is always unpredictable and seasonal in nature.
You may occasionally see us utilizing the dock to launch our boats and jet skis or enjoying the water on nice days.

UTILIZING THE KAYAKS:
If you, or someone joining you, wishes to utilize the kayaks on our property, you are welcome to but are REQUIRED to fill out a safety waiver beforehand. You can access the safety waiver via our digital guidebook and are encouraged to fill it out prior to your check-in. You will receive that waiver link the day before your arrival. The kayaks are located on our private dock in front of our home (between June-Sept) along with a couple life jackets and padels in the yellow bin. During the "off-season" they are located on the upper river bank between Stargazer and Black Tie. Please return the equipment to its original location when finished using. Also, PLEASE be careful when unsecuring the kayaks so to NOT lose the bungee straps in the river. Thank you and be safe!
