Beautiful Home

Heron Rest is a beautiful home. It is new, clean, and well appointed. We have stayed at many properties at Kentucky Lake over the years and this was, by far, the best. The indoor space is very comfortable. The bed setup gave six adults ample space to be comfortable. The back screened in porch is incredible with a gorgeous ravine view. The massive front porch made for great front porch sittin’ with a nice cup of coffee. The location in Western Shores was great - the dock was easy enough to get to that we could easily go back and forth as needed. The Daugherty’s were great to work with. They proactively communicated details and updates in advance of our stay and their check-out expectations were wonderfully simple. We will absolutely be back.

Beautiful Home

We had a wonderful stay. The house was clean, beautiful, and exactly as advertised. The area was quiet with lots of wildlife. We saw deer, and bison at the ranch next door. The community pool was perfect for the hot weather we had during our stay. Couldn't have asked for better accommodations.

Great girls trip!

The house was incredible! Smartly decorated, great neighborhood, very clean. Lots of wildlife around the property/neighborhood (deer, fox, frogs, hummingbirds). The community pool was very nice with a great view of the lake (9 min drive). We decided to dine in one evening so we picked up groceries in Murray. Kitchen had all of the tools needed to make a great dinner. Used the fire pit and made s’mores. We are planning to stay again :)

Girls getaway to Kentucky Lake

It was a fabulous girls weekend retreat!! The house was perfect for 5 moms, wives and friends looking for respite in a quiet, secluded area near the lake. The home had EVERYTHING we could have needed, down to all the materials needed for the fire pit. The front porch was perfect for our morning coffee and reading while listening to the sounds of nature. The soaking tub was an added bonus to relax in after a day at the lake. The views from the community pool were stunning and calming making for the perfect pool days. The tankless water heater was a perk allowing us to all shower without worry about getting cold water. I would recommend this place for anyone traveling to the area.

Beautiful home

This was a beautiful home that was in a residential area but felt completely private. We made good use of the large well equipped kitchen and of the patio with the fire pit. Everything was clean and in excellent condition. It was a 20 minute drive to a number of very nice hiking trails. Overall, very pleased with our stay.

Superb Stay

We stayed here with friends and were amazed by this place! It was the nicest, cleanest VRBO I have ever stayed in. The thoughtfulness of the hosts made it so easy and more enjoyable! The house and property were clean and tidy. The little extras were everywhere! We enjoyed both porches, the fire pit and walking out in nature and on the roads. We enjoyed every minute of our stay and only wished it was longer!! Thank you Daughtry’s for all!!

Beautiful home in a peaceful setting.

Loved the house. Very clean and decorated beautifully. It was perfect for what we needed. The owners were very hospitable and left a goodie bag with snacks and come local jam which was great. We had activities going on the days we stayed so we weren’t at the house a lot so we didn’t get to use the fire pit, but hopefully will the next time we come. The pool was also closed for the season when we stayed so I can’t review that either. We loved the front porch and swing and sitting on the back porch to watch the hummingbirds. Nice to have TVs in all the rooms too. The guest bedroom mattress was overly firm for my liking but my parents liked theirs. It’s just a preference thing. Had to walk to an empty lot on the next street over to get a glimpse of the lake because houses seem to block it in other locations. Maybe when the leaves fall there is a better chance of a view. All in all it was a great stay and we will stay again!

Exceptional stay at this beautiful home! The home was clean and decorated like Joanna Gaines herself came to KY! We had everything we needed and then some. We thoroughly enjoyed the amenities….. screened in back patio for coffee sipping and humming bird watching in the morning, napping on the front porch swing, making s’mores in the backyard, swimming in the infinity community pool, and cooking dinner in the fully stocked kitchen! I definitely want to go back soon! Thank you for the hospitality 💜
