Had a blast
Very quiet and relaxing. Everything was clean and tidy. We spent a couple days at the house fishing and swimming, lots to do without having to leave the property. Road getting to the house was a little rough but was not a big deal. The whole family had a great time. Would definitely stay here again.

Memorial Day weekend
Amazing, I have stayed at a lot of VRBOs but this one was above and beyond. They were completely stocked with toiletries and kitchen paper products, things that other places you have to buy and then try to pack it home or donate it. It also wasn't packed with extra decor, very kid friendly and very appreciated!

We loved our stay at the lake! We visited with anothe rcouple and our four children. The kids loved the hot tub, boating on the lake, and all the games. The new stairs down to the lake were amazing! We had a great time and the house was more than ebough space for the 8 of us.

Great time
We enjoyed our stay.
The basement was always cold. If thermostat raised, too hot upstairs.
Suggest space heater for basement.
Change light fixtures in master bedroom. If cleaning service unplugs fixtures, have service plug them back in. It is very difficult for a 75 year old person to get underneath bed to plug back in. Additionally, switch to lamp was underneath the bed.

Cabin in the woods
Shower curtain in basement kept falling down as well as the clothes bar in closet. We were able to fix the one in the closet, but not as successful with the shower. Also there was no Kleenex or soap in the bathrooms and only one hand towel. It was pretty property and the upstairs was nice. We cleaned up branches from back yard. Overall it was ok.

Quaint
We enjoyd our stay and the property was kust as described. Checking in and check out were convenient. Rooms, beds, and bedding were all fine. We didn’t get the opportunity to use most outdoor features due to rainy weather. Never got down to the dock or into the hot tub.
The only negative is that the property is on a steep spope which made it difficult to get to the downhill features (lake, dock, fire pit) specially when wet. Parking was also a challenge as it’s somewhat steep and narrow gravel.

We thoroughly enjoyed our time at this cabin. It was comfortable, beautifully updated, lots of room, nice lake front experience, quiet, near small town experience but also close enough to the airport, great distance from The Ark and The Creation Museum.

Great location by the lake
Stayed with my family of 4 for 3 nights. Enjoyed our stay very much, there’s something to do for everyone. Went to the ARK, kayaked on the lake, played darts and shot some pool. Hot tub was lovely. We relaxed by the fire pit and experienced a lot of nature most especially we liked the Eastern screeching owl, we found its call on YouTube and it would fly around and call back to us. Deer and cranes are all around. You can also search for clams in the lake. The host (Donny) was wonderful and a great communicator. I would recommend this property.

We went to Kentucky to celebrate my birthday. Didn't really know what to expect, although the pictures were nice. We arrived and although the road in was alittle rough with speed bumps in the gravel and 5mph, I could see why. Once we arrived at the property and checked in, we were totally satisfied . Everyone loved the rental and said we should of stayed longer. The host hands down was totally AWESOME! We would definitely stay again. Thanks Donny for allowing us to stay at your property. 🙏😊

Great little getaway in Kentucky! We were in town to check out the Ark and Big Bone Lick, and we always love staying by the water, so this place was perfect for us. We've stayed at several rentals before, but this place has to be one of the cleanest.

Good relaxing place to stay
This property had all the amenities my family was looking for. So much so that we could have stayed at the property for our vacation instead of visiting area attractions! There were definitely days, after sightseeing, that my family wanted to return to the property and crash.
One thing I came to find -- to no fault of the property -- is that there wasn't any AT&T cellular coverage once you got into the wooded area. It wasn't a big deal, but meant we couldn't map the route to our destinations until we drove past the gravel road leading to the house. Other carriers might have been ok.

We only stayed two nights but wish we stayed longer. The house was stocked with everything we needed and more. We had the best time kayaking with the grandkids, making smores by the fire pit, and enjoying the hot tub. I would definitely recommend and stay here again.

Couples trup
We stayed at the property for 5 nights, while visiting attractions in the area. It was clean nicly decorated and the kitchen was well stocked. We enjoyed time on deck around the fire pit and played some pool and darts. Rain [ about 4 inches ) prior to our arrival made for poor fishing, but we still had a good time trying.
We had excellent communication with the host throught the stay. Setting was pretty and we enjoyed just looking at the lake. We would recommend this host amd property and if ever in the area again would definitely book here again.

Ark encounter
Nice little house with a pretty view of the lake. If it had been warmer the property would have been more fun because we could have gone swimming.
Only gave the neighborhood 4 stars because the road down the hill is fairly rough, something I don’t think the property owner has any control over.
We would stay again for sure.
