What a lovely stay! Our host was so accommodating and everything was as pictured on the listing. In fact, it was even better than I thought because there was a table that sat 8-10 people inside the house that I didn't realize we would have! And the hot tub was brand new as well. My kids loved the basement with all of its funtivities, and we loved snuggling up on the couch with a fire crackling away. Highly recommend!

We had a wonderful stay. The cabin was amazing and had everything we needed and then some. Location is beautiful, although the lake didn’t have water in the cove just a short walk down from the dock and there it was. We generally are not board game people but played every night. One small issue with the hot tub but the host was very proactive and corrected our problem. We look forward to visiting again this summer.

The best vacation rental we have ever used! So much thought put into the little details that made it feel so homey. The cabin is beautiful and you can’t beat the location. We rented a boat at a nearby marina, but decided we would have been just as happy hanging around the cabin.

Wonderful Family Vacation

Our family enjoyed a wonderful time at the cabin. It was very clean and inviting with clear instructions/ labels throughout. There were so many things to enjoy from hot tub to kayaking on the lake to ping pong and air hockey. It was such a relaxing and enjoyable escape for the family and a close drive to Mammoth Cave which we had wanted to visit for the first time. Highly recommended!
