Family stay at the lake

We had a great stay, the house was so comfortable, accommodating, well appointed, great location, and clean. The games, puzzles, and kayaks were great family activities. Too hot for hot tub, but a nice extra. The place was so tastefully done. The host made sure we were comfortable and happy.

Exceptional!

This home is just as nice or better than the pictures. It's also well outfitted with everything needed in the kitchen, not to mention a welcoming fire pit with food and supplies to make s'mores. We would absolutely stay here again and the kind host is very much engaged in managing the property well.

A very sweet Serene Kentucky Lake Cabin

The neighborhood is quiet and peaceful. The cabin is nicely arranged with very comfortable beds. Truly, we slept well all three nights. The owners were very good. Communications were exceptionally easy and ahead of any questions. Check in and check out were very simple. Thank you for sharing your cabin with us.

Beautiful House

Well equipped house with everything you could need including games (indoor and outdoor) and high quality cookware (love cast iron!). The host was quick to reply to any questions we had. Not a swimming lake but we enjoyed kayaking and fishing. Would return if visiting the area again!

There were so many thoughtful touches added. Very clean and comfortable! The host was very quick to respond. The only 4 star I gave on the listing was because the lake has “no swimming”. We didn’t realize that until we got there

Wonderful get away

We had 2 families (7 people) stay at the cabin it was terrific! The cabin was well stocked and clean! Check in was so easy! The hot tub was so relaxing, our group loved the coffee bar and used it A LOT! We had a beautiful day of snow, watching snow fall with the fireplace going and a cup a coffee was absolutely dreamy! Cannot wait to visit again in the summer and utilize the kayaks! We visited the ark and the commute was about 15 minutes one way and a very easy route! Thank you Julie for allowing us to use your beautiful property!

Tranquil

We had a very pleasant stay here. The house was very well appointed and clean. My only negatives is that there was no dock for easy access to the lake and that the hot tub was not available at this time. This is totally understandable as they are adding on a deck. The new deck will be a great feature once finished!!

Everything You Need!!!

We were in the area to see the Ark Encounter and Creation Museum and let me just say that this house had EVERYTHING! Not only was it spacious and laid out perfect for multiple couples, the host provided small extras that made a huge impact, especially in the kitchen. The hot tub was a treat in the snow! We were 15 minutes from the Ark and 30 minutes from The Creation Museum and the area was super quiet and secluded for peaceful evenings. I would highly recommend this home for anyone! It was FABULOUS!!

Blisfully Quiet

Cabin was just as pictured. Julie, the host, was excellent with communication. A plus was having all the light switches labeled and shampoo/conditioner/body wash in each bathroom. Kitchen fully stocked. We saw a mama deer and her baby on the hill behind us. We read, played games, napped and went to the Ark Encounter, Creation Museum and Newport Aquarium. If you are looking for a peaceful retreat facing a lake, this is the place for you. We would stay here again. Cindi T.
