Great family getaway
My family had a great time here. We have 4 adults and 4 kids and didn't feel on top of each other. My 4 year old asked if we can come back the next year. pros- very open living area upstairs- very cosy living area downstairs- great views everywhere- big and well furnished deck. - kids loved the kayaks- kitchen was a good size and well stocked- hosts were easy going and communicated well. - loft bedroom was more helpful than we thought it would be. - furniture was newer and in great condition.- yard had a nice flat area compared to most river/lake houses- no fees for my doggie- very cleanCons:- mattresses were cheap and not comfortablenotes:- 45 minutes to Mammoth Cave visiter center- Dock access was blocked by flooding, but not hosts fault and it was spring so we didn't need it. - Some reviews said that it didn't have a firepit. It has a firepit but its rudimentary, but it didn't bother us. We had fires 2 nights.- dock was pretty small. We were not there to swim, but if we were. It would have been a problem.

Trip to Mammoth Cave
The stay was wonderful. There was everything you could want to have for a trip in side the lakehouse. The only thing was, in the basement room with the two double beds, the covers smelled of mildew. We chalked it up to the room being a basement room but other than that, everything was great.

Beautiful lake home
This lake home is as beautiful and welcoming as the pictures show! The only difference (but positive difference) is in the pictures it shows on a hillside down to the lake which had me a little concerned traveling with children. However upon arrival I was extremely pleased to see the hill had been taken out, an area leveled and a retaining wall installed! Not only did this add safety and beauty to the property it also allowed for additional outdoor space for bochee ball or tossing a football. Plenty of indoor space and outdoor space with the two levels inside and out! The kitchen was fully stocked and equipped and had everything we needed. The single, only downfall was we were only provided with one trash bag. Normally we pack extras just in case and did not this time. A lot of extras were provided such as dishwasher tabs, etc but just the one trash bag. A slight overnight I’m sure and nothing I would deduct from a rating for. Would definitely stay here again if in the area!

Fall break weekend
Loved the space and the lakeview! All the needed things were supplied! Nicely decorated! No fire pit as listed in the amenities. Grill was pretty dirty and remnants from other guests caught fire before we even cooked, so we had to clean thoroughly before use.

Lake view home!
This beautiful 3 level home provided something for everyone. We loved setting on the porch in the morning eating breakfast. We wish we had gave ourselves more time to explore the house area. If I had to pick one thing I wish there were TVs in the main bedrooms. Such a beautiful home!

Weekend with friends
We’ve stayed at this house for 5 years now and it never disappoints. Spacious, clean, well stocked and the view. We love swimming off the dock, having bonfires and hanging outside and having all those options each year keeps us coming back. My favorite place to stay.

End of summer getaway
This was the perfect end of summer getaway for our family, we did a couple of fun things including touring Mammoth Cave and horse back riding, but most of the time we swam in the lake, took the kayaks out that were provided with this house, cooked, and relaxed. We absolutely loved just getting away for a few days! The only downside is there is no washer and dryer. Wasn't a big deal because we only stayed 4 days, but if it were a week I could see laundry definitely piling up.

Nice but stinky
Everything was nice and clean inside. Outside there was an issue with the septic tank and the back yard was a sewage leak that made the flies and a stink. Could not use fire pit. If sewage issue fixed I would go back

Nice for families
This property worked well for our muti family vacation, plenty of room for everyone. This was our second stay at this house. The first time the back yard was unusable due to sepic tank issues ,very smelly and messy with concerns of what it was. This time it was worse, you couldn't even sit on the deck and enjoy the lake without smelling sewage. The dock was available due to high water, had to make a walkway out of logs and rope to be able to use it for some, my wife could not get to the dock at all. While staying all week it became an issue not having enough towels and such, with it not having a washer or dryer, they should supply more. Becarfull walking on the rock path to the dock, your gray water that you are producing, runs across them and makes them slippery. Probably will not be a third visit.

Wonderful time with family
My children came from every direction. There was plenty of room for the 10 of us. Everyone had their own space. Having two sitting areas was so nice. Three of the family got in the lake and the rest of us enjoyed watching from the deck. We were able to get wood and had a great time at the fire ring. Although the ground was really muddy. Who cares when your with family!

We had a 3 night stay here. The place was great. Very clean and kitchen fully stocked. The kayaks were a great bonus. My only complaint was the beds were not very comfortable. But all in all a beautiful place.

Family fun
This is our second year and we love it. However we have a one year old now. He will be two next year and his sister 6 months. We may have to go sone where else for several years and then come back. Too many steps and steep terrains . But we think it is great, just maybe not for active toddlers.

Comfortable and functional
Big enough for our party of 11, nice property close to the water. One issue was wifi didn’t work, wasn’t a huge deal for us as we came to see mammoth caves. Other reviews were accurate that there were only 7 forks which is funny since the property sleeps 14. We purchased 9 and they now have 16 forks! Lol. It was a 40 minute drive to the cave tours, but is a perfect little drive for people with kids for car naps.

Great base for Mammoth Cave
I came with another adult and 8 middle school girls with an American Heritage Girls troop. The property was exactly as stated and close to Mammoth Cave. AHG has very specific guidelines for overnight trips and this home met them all and was in our price range. I highly recommend.

Perfect family get away!
We met up with my in-laws here for short vacation/visit. The house was perfect! The view off the deck was breathtaking and we all enjoyed just sitting on it watching the water and spending time together. Honestly, we all agreed that was our favorite part of the trip and we spent one afternoon at Mammoth cave. Honestly it was just a great spot to relax and enjoy some quality family time. I can't say enough how much enjoyed it. We definitely plan to come back!
