Home was clean, easy check in and check out. Hosts were very responsive. Fantastic views and amenities. Very centralized location for cave tours and family activities!
This place was so perfect for a romantic weekend getaway! From a seamless check-in, soaking in the hot tub, enjoying the beautiful views of the lake and relaxing country-side walks- this place is sure to impress! Would be perfect for a family with children (lots of games) or weekend with 2-3 couples! HIGHLY RECOMMEND!
Cabin was perfect for our weekend. Stay with friends we hadn’t seen in a while. The fire pit area was wonderful to sit around and enjoy the fall weather. Every detail had been thought of. We enjoyed every aspect of the weekend as our friends.
We had an amazing time at the rental. My family chilled in the hot tub, made s’mores by the fire pit, went tubing on the lake and had “Pages Pizza”for dinner. It was such a fantastic time.
We spend a family weekend away before Christmas every year and this was the perfect place. Away from the hustle and bustle, and very relaxing. Home was clean and well stocked. We had a great stay!!
This was a wonderful house to just getaway. The view was divine and the owners' thought of everything anyone could need to enjoy their stay. The place was immaculate and the owners' were prompt and responsive when we encountered any need to ask them a question. We will definitely be returning to stay here!!!
This property is lovely!!! We had a group from 3 different families and the space was perfect.
The house has something for everyone and the location is fantastic!
One day, a part of the group went horseback riding while the others went golfing.
Another day, we all visited Mammoth Cave and had a wonderful day.
This cabin is simply perfect for whatever type of adventure and relaxing that you are looking for.

The lake cottage was perfect. Super clean and everything you needed plus. Super hosts that even left treats for the dogs. Location was nice for activities in the area. Would certainly recommend!
The house was cute and clean. It’s obvious that the owners take care of their property. The hot tub was wonderful and we also used the fire pit. While it’s on a lake there are no steps or dock to access it from the property.
This house had everything that we needed for multiple generations. The location is a bit far from some things, but the view is worth it. The house is very clean, the beds are comfortable, the fire pit is awesome, and the sun room had entertainment for the whole family.
I would definitely recommend this place
My second time staying and will be back! Owners are wonderful and view is spectacular! If you like games they have everything!
Owners very considerate and have all ten special touches!
The house was lovely and perfect for our group. The 4 season/game room made riding out some inclement weather a blast. There are too many thoughtful touches to mention, but if you love wildlife and relaxing, this house is perfection.
Coming from Chicago we were looking for a fun new adventure. This was the perfect place to stay. What a gorgeous home. Clean and a so charming. Cynthia and Trent thought of everything from the kitchen to the hot tub, family games and a fire pit for s’mores. What an amazing stay. You are away from it all while still be right on the river and close to a lot of fun excursions. Would recommend this place ten out of ten times.
Absolutely the best hosts!! Cynthia went above and beyond to make our stay personalized and enjoyable! Everything was super clean - spotless and beautiful!! Any questions I had were answered immediately and she was so kind and helpful.
This will be marked as one of my top places to stay without a doubt!!
Thank you for everything !!
This lake house cottage is perfect! It was super clean upon our arrival and was such a cozy place for our family time. The game room is fabulous and the kitchen is very well stocked. The hosts were so accommodating. We enjoyed area attractions and spent our evenings cooking dinner and either soaking our tired bodies in the hot tub or enjoying smores made in the back yard fire pit. I would highly recommend this property for a stay in the Kentucky area.
I dont think there was anything that wasnt thought of. Loved that there was a variety of games for the night time relaxing with thr family. The smores was a nice touch. A clean beautiful place. Would return for sure.
We had a great time! The house was as described & better then we expected. Trent & Cynthia were the host's with the most! We had everything we needed & their attention to detail makes this rental stand out above many others we've stayed at. Beds we're comfy. We enjoyed the fire pit & game room and relaxing in the hot tub was the perfect way to end a day of hiking at Mammoth Cave. Hopefully we'll make it back again sometime.
We enjoyed our stay and all the little personal touches. It would have been nice to have some firewood to start off with and lack of hot water in master bath was a small issue. The inside back door was not lockable.
But our stay was a 5 star stay. Loved the view.
Thanks Gil
We drove all the way from Nebraska. Immediately when we walked in we felt welcomed. Such a beautiful quiet cabin right on the lake. We enjoyed our morning coffee on the porch. Our daughter was also very entertained by all the games and coloring books, you guys have really thought of it all! The communication with the owners was fantastic! If I had a question or concern they answered immediately! Thank you so much for sharing your beautiful cabin with us! If we make it back this way we would love to stay again!
This was a great find...an adorable lakeview home in a quiet, beautiful area. We needed a short relaxing getaway and found it here. The home is decorated with the perfect balance of ammenities and "extras" to pamper guests and make them feel welcome. The beds were comfy, the master bathroom was amazing, and the coffee bar had everything we needed. The favorite gathering place for us was the enclosed porch in the evenings where we enjoyed cards & conversation. A few miles away we found a great buffet, a shopping area, and spent a day hanging out on a pontoon on the beautiful Barren River Lake. Soooo relaxing!!! Thank you to owners, Cynthia & Trent, who were just a text away, and kept in touch with us making sure everything was good for our stay. So glad we found you & your place. We would not hesitate to visit again!!
The home was quaint and the neighbors were mostly quiet. The location where you could see the lake from the back yard was nice, but there is no way to get to the lake from the actual yard. It’s a steep drop.
This area is not secluded, and there were neighbors on both sides. One was doing yard work that woke us up the first day.
This is an old home that has been renovated, but it has a nice feel to it. The premium price as compared to other places is likely the hot tub, though.
The communication was mostly pleasant. I fixed an issue where the garbage disposal had a bunch of bottle caps inside and let the owner know about that and a couple other minor things that were not an inconvenience before I left. I also asked if I could water the plants since it wasn’t raining, and took care of that. However, the last message was received the day after checkout, where the owner asked if we “maybe packed some of her towels,” which is going to come off to anyone as an accusation of theft. We did our best to leave the place better than we found it despite a $150 cleaning fee, and that was the last thing I was left with.
