Thank you so much for sharing your cabin with us. This is just what our family needed. Your cabin was so nice. I can see why you and your husband loved this place so much. I saw your late husband's fishing shoes nailed up on the front porch, and after reading the newspaper article,i sat and thought this is how special memories are preserved. Your cabin left my family and i with a great memory that cannot be taken awy. Again we thank you, and would love to come back and stay longer. Johnny Hortenbury and Family Taylorsville,Ky

Owner response:To renters interested in coming to our cabin for a respite, this Review should help you to decide where to spend a restful, relaxing and enjoyable vacation for the whole family. Also, you may be the one who catches a beautiful fish at the same time. If you love animals and are a bird watcher, you will certainly love our cabin on the Cumberland.

This is a really wonderful and beautiful cabin. The pictures really do not show how beautiful this cabin is! The view of the river can be seen from the great room and from the dining room table. The deck was nice and quiet and the geese that reside there greeted us every time we went out. The many bird feeders were a nice addition and the birds sang to us all day long. We did not catch any fish; the water was up a great deal and very swift but it was still beautiful. The owners and the care takers were very nice and helpful. I would definitely recommend this cabin to anyone wanting a nice quite get away! Thank you!

Charming, Private and so Very Peaceful

This was exactly what we were looking for. Very private, no houses around and located at the end of your own private lane. Sitting on the big front porch watching the river float by. We didn't even care that it rained almost the whole time we were there. Waking up to thunderstorms was so cozy. The cabin was immaculate, the bedrooms were big and the living room/kitchen combo was a great place to hang out. The table (made out of a wooden door) sat in front of the french doors leading to the porch, where you were guarenteed a view as you ate. The wildlife was amazing.We saw deer, turkey, herons and geese. The bird feeders attracted all kinds of birds and the hummingbirds were everywhere. If you want a place to just get away this would be it. It is an unspoiled place. Just you and the river. Loved it!!

Owner response:We are so happy that you enjoyed all the animals and birds there at our Cabin on the Cumberland. It's always been so special to us to sit on the porch and watch the birds at the feeders and just enjoy the nature that God provides for our pleasure and enjoyment. It makes us very happy to see others having the same feelings that we have while there. It is such a restful, relaxing spot for anyone who wants to get away from their every-day life.

Stayed in the cabin Memorial Day weekend and had the best time. Everything needed was furnished. Had the most relaxing weekend that I have had in a long time. Very peaceful and private location. Just didn't get to fish cause the water was too high and river was to rapid. But didn't matter the location and atomsphere was awesome. Will definatley be back soon. Thanks to the Moss's for sharing their paradise on the river.

cabin by the lake

I stayed at the rental last weekend with 2 of my friends. The cabin was immaculate. It looked like it was just built and never occupied! Kitchen was well equipped and had everything we needed. Mattress on the king bed had to be very new. It was nice. The shower nozzle could have been better. Three ladies, all over 60, and we never did figure out how to work the DVD. Maybe a few instructions would help us old folks. But really, we enjoyed the peace and quiet and hope to return again very soon. It is worth the 3 hour drive from Louisville to sit back on the porch and relax and enjoy the days and evenings by the lake. Thank you, Mr and Mrs Ross for the pleasure of visiting your cabin.

We really enjoyed the cabin!! Very nice, and clean, actually the pictures on this site don't do the cabin justice, it is way nicer!!!! Fishing was slow, river was up and stained, but we enjoyed the boating anyway! We will be back!!

Totally Relaxed and Rejuvenated!

We spend Labor Day weekend at this fish camp and had a wonderful, relaxing time. The cabin is neat, tidy and very secluded. The photos don't do it justice. Great view of the river from the deck. The boat ramp is very convenient. There's a charcoal grill off the deck and a fire pit down by the river. The hummingbirds provided tons of free entertainment!! Stargazing while listening to the owls can't be beat! If you're looking for total relaxation, peace and quiet this is the place. Once you get there, you'll feel right at home and won't want to leave. We will definitely stay at this cabin again! Highly recommended! Thanks!!

Owner response:Thanks so much for the kind words, you describe the place better than we do when we advertise it. It really saddens us to realize that because of age (78) and serious health problems we are probably going to have to sell the place. That will take away many of our most precious memories. Enjoy while you can.

I've stayed at this cabin three times now with a couple of fishing buddies and I have to tell you, we're spoiled for anything else! On site private boat ramp, deck overlooking the river, no site of other homes or civilization nearby, just perfect! Inside, the cabin is pristine and like new. Caretakers are the nicest folks, very helpful in every way. We'll definitely be back, and it sounds like now that my wife is reading this review, she'll be coming with me before too long!

This is such a beautiful and peaceful setting. If you want to be away from it all then this is the place to be. It was like having the river all to yourself. We only saw maybe five boats the whole time we were there. We didn't catch any fish but my husband said another fisherman told him we had the wrong bait. The cabin is nicely equipped with everything you need.

We loved this cabin. It was very clean, cheery and peaceful, and our family of six slept comfortably. The owners were very friendly, helpful, and wonderful to work with.

Owner response:We hope all you guys (and gals) realize that the next 3 months are fantastic fishing months and the birds and blossoms will really be showing off. We now have 10 bikes of assorted sizes for your use on Blacks Ferry Road which dead ends about 2 miles up stream.
