Hartford is a compact, affordable riverside town with easy access to Ohio County Park and Rough River Lake, making it a pleasant base for multi‑week therapy contracts if you value outdoor time, low rent, friendly locals and short commutes.
For weekend variety, Owensboro — about 25 miles — provides bigger-city dining, entertainment and a regional airport, and Bowling Green — about 49 miles — offers museums, larger medical centers and shopping, so you can reach more urban amenities within an hour or so by car.
