Lake Getaway
We wanted a relaxing house on the lake for a family getaway. Our grandsons loved the bunk room and the adults loved the spacious and comfortable bedrooms. The kayaks, canoes and dock were an added treat just down from the house. The large deck was relaxing with a view of the lake. Overall, we were very happy with our stay. It does need a new cook stove.

Family vac near lake
Quiet neighborhood, house was in great condition. Very welcoming when we entered the home with our dogs. We loved the view and rented the canoe/kayak during our stay. Dogs loved both the house top deck and the lake. Only complaints to mention were that the outside trash cans were still full during our stay and the outside grill was old and rusting including the cooking grates. If you are okay being 15/20 minutes from fast food and/or shopping this is a great spot to relax and unwind!!

Great lake getaway house
Comfortable, clean, and good location. Given that it is a lakehouse, it is likely renters will have boats, jet ski's etc. and the parking and lack of dock are a minus. Still, a great place and good value. We had a fun time.

Perfect Getaway!
We were looking for a relaxing spot to getaway and within close proximity of Mammoth Cave. The Doc House was perfect for our needs! The bedrooms were comfortable for the adults (two couples) and there was ample room for the six kids. The back deck offered a great, quiet view of the lake, and was excellent for morning coffee and evening cocktails. The access to the lake was simple enough, and provided for some fun activities for the kids (geode hunting primarily). The host answered our questions and access to the property was a breeze. Overall, the Doc House was a great spot for our short getaway!

Great place. Only issues were locked thermostat and it was HOT! And during dinner at 8:30 yard people were cutting grass and blowing stuff off deck while we ate. Seemed kinda late for that. But we had a good time. Would go back

Stay at Lake House
Everything was nice except the temperature. The thermostat was locked and could not be changed. My family burned up and lost several nights sleep. Just miserable for us. I am sorry to have to put in writing. We did not call property due to time constraints with family visiting and changing their plans. Just didn’t work out.

Quiet and Comfortable
The property was a great place to stay. It is centrally located to Mammoth Caves, Bowling Green and historical sites. It is only about an hour north of Nashville, which made for easy visits. If you want to be comfortable and relax, this is the place to be. The deck provides a great place to unwind after taking a day trip to local attractions.

Beautiful location on the lake (though a little bit of a walk down to the lake- wear shoes). Great communication with management. Loved having the the 2 levels/kitchens to give plenty of space for everyone.

Quiet Getaway
This peaceful setting right on the lake was perfect for the relaxing week we were looking for. The deck right off the main living space was an added perk that we enjoyed. The location was very easy to get to and convenient to the nearby towns. My son enjoyed having his own apartment-like space downstairs to himself. He was bummed that the lake front had no shore area that is accessible for fishing. The home was very neat and clean and we enjoyed our stay. Overall it was an enjoyable stay and we would recommend it to anyone looking for a quiet getaway.

Wondering location & place to gather with friends
Wonderful location - we visited both Bowling Green & Mammoth Cave and is about 30-40 minutes from each! Beautiful views of the lake, nice to have two living spaces and a kitchen that was easy to cook in! A great place to spend a couple of days even in November!
