About this property

River Retreat

  • Located outside of Charlestown, Indiana, a perfect retreat. Escape the interstate traffic and the day to day. Nestled into a lively community, the property at Bushman's Lake is steps away from Summer’s on the River (re-opening soon). The cabin features a cozy queen bed and a large living room with a queen sofa bed and futon, perfect for extra guests. The bathroom includes a waterfall shower and a bidet. Step outside for a beautiful view of the Ohio, cook breakfast on the Blackstone, or just enjoy coffee on the front porch sofa. Out back is a small grassy area great for star gazing, catching blue gill, or a small campfire. There is an outdoor shower and it is wired for a camper to connect to electric. Whether you’re relaxing inside or planning your next adventure with friends, this cottage provides a perfect home base with parking spaces for your truck, boat, bikes, and camper!
