Nestled in Magnet, these log cabins are located at the water’s edge on the largest pool (Cannelton Pool) of the entire Ohio River System stretching 114 miles from the locks and dam at Louisville, KY to the dam in Cannelton. The view of each cabin overlooks the Ohio River.

Approximately 14 miles from interstate 64, Magnet, Indiana is a stone’s throw from the Ohio River Scenic By-way, which boasts interesting spots and riverview histories.Â

In the lush hills of Perry County in rural southern Indiana just over the Kentucky border rests a pair of serene log cabins, hand-hewn in the time-honored tradition of the mid-19th century. Settled along the magnificent and wild Ohio River, these cabins are a peaceful reminder of a forgotten time, a time antebellum before the Civil War, a time characterized by a simpler way of life, and when pioneers set out for new lands and prospectors struck out for fortune.

Originally constructed in the 1850s, the cabins were disassembled in 1989 and moved to where they proudly stand today, on a bluff overlooking Oil Creek. The cabins are decorated with early American charm and loving care. The scenery is teeming with wildlife, as well as perennial flowers, and it’s not altogether unusual to spot graceful blue herons, gentle deer, industrious beavers, wild turkeys, and a variety of migrating ducks. And being that you’re in the midst of 60,000 acres of Hoosier National Forest, you’ll be able to hike along seemingly endless trails in one of the hilliest and most forested counties in the entire state.

Vinnie’s Ohio River Log Cabins feature easy access to the Ohio River and a dock on the water.  All of the cabins have private hot tubs, outdoor fire pits and propane-provided gas grills. They are a perfect place to bring your family or just enjoy a little quiet time alone. Watch the sun and moon rise over the Kentucky hills and light up the Ohio River from the comfort of your cabin. Vinnie’s Ohio River Cabins are located in Magnet and Derby, Indiana on the beautiful banks of the mighty Ohio River. Indulge in one of the many recreational opportunities such as fishing or boating on the Ohio River, eating good food, hiking in the Hoosier National Forest, visiting local attractions or just relaxing.
