Great family friendly vacation home, amazing location

I stayed with my wife and two children for several months over the winter. This property was a great fit for us. A very family friendly layout, with plenty of sleeping space for guests. The house has a great view of Lake Cumberland, and is conveniently located close to Jamestown/Russell Springs and multiple boat ramps. The area around this house is quiet and residential, and walking in the area was a nice activity for us on warmer winter days. My only regret is that we weren't able to enjoy the location in the summer months! All in all it was a great property and we hope to come back some day.

Lost Lodge Somerset KY

Myself, my boyfriend, 4yr old son and dog stayed at the Lost Lodge Cabins for a 3 day weekend. We absolutely loved the outdoor surroundings: grilling out, making a camp fire, hiking and boating. The cabin was extremely clean! We loved that we were able to cook our own meals. We also loved that there were picnic tables outside, so we could have a nice family meal. Thankfully we brought bug spray, because the bugs were definitely there and ready! I definitely recommend this for a family trip. My son loves the outdoor life and you didn't feel cramped like if you were to camp in a tent or stay at a hotel. The weather didn't agree with us fully, but we made the best out of the sunshine that we got! Thanks again Lost Lodge.

Owner response:I do love this review, but we are not the Lost Lodge in Somerset, KY. Our homes are in Jamestown, KY.

Thank you so much for sharing your home with us. We had our 5 adult children and their spouses here(from SC, TN, OH and IN) for a week and we had a blast!! The kitchen is well equipped and we felt so comfortable in your home. We talked, laughed and played cards on the screened porch every night - we did not want the vacation to end!! We hope to get back down there before winter starts.

Priceless View

Lack of Internet access and a decent TV cable package hurt this facility. Without a technology upgrade, we would not recommend. However, the property managers are wonderful and the views from the house are priceless! Extremely clean house and pleasant neighborhood.

The lake house was wonderful with a spectactular view. We really enjoyed our stay and the house was more than accomodating with its amenities for the price. We are ususally "cuddy" people who rarely enjoy nights off the lake, but we had several friends with us the weekend we stayed in the lake house, and enjoyed several evenings of fun. The owners made sure all requests were promptly taken care of, and the house was full of all the necessities for cooking. Thanks for offering your house for others to enjoy. Lake Cumberland is one of the beauties of Kentucky, and having a place like this to share provides the opporunity to so many others. Thanks again!

After staying here over a week it has become our home away from home. A total of 15 of us rented this and the house next door. Have had a wonderful time here running back and forth between the two houses, spent many late nights at 118 playing ping-pong. Spent quite a bit of time on the swing downstairs enjoying the view. You truly have a gorgeous home and state. Thank you!

A family from Michigan met here with a family from Iowa. We were truely amazed by the beauty and convenience of the house and its surroundings. During one of our adventures we found ourselves near the south end of Beaver Creek where we noticed a gorgeous waterfall. We swam at its base and climbed around the rocks when we discovered a small box turtle - trapped in the rocks as the bottom of the falls. Marks on the shell lead us to believe that this poor turtle had gone over the falls before it became lodged in the rocks below. After freeing the turtle it was clear that she could not make her way up the steep edges to her forest home above. So, of course, we brought "Suzie" back here and released her in the yard. We saw her the next day - looking strong! Maybe you'll see her too! Thanks for the terrific times!

Thanks so much for letting us stay in your house again. We enjoyed time here with family. We appreciate the extra towels! The lake was beautiful as always and we enjoyed watching the cigarette boats in the poker run this weekend. But most of all we love the peace and quiet sitting on the deck taking in the beautiful view. We hope to be able to come back in the fall to see the leaves change. Thanks again!

We had a wonderful stay in this beautiful home, we spent nearly every day on the boat, swimming, tubing and getting sunburned. The view from this place is incredible! Last night we barely got to the house before a terrible storm hit. The power was knocked out and we saw trees fall from the wind, but we had a great view of the storm. It was beautiful! Well, needless to say, we had a great time! Thank you soooo much!

The week was filled with days of sunshine and boating. I am writing this and looking back at the week. It was great. The days were lazy and crept past us as we laughed and played in the prestine water of this very special place. We are nearly packed and ready to go as I look out over the mirror of a lake which reflects all that surrounds it. We were very fortunate to have found your place. It was more than we could have asked for. We hope to be back sooner than later. Thanks so much for sharing. Take care and count your blessings. P.S. My personal highlight of the week was sitting out on the deck early one day and actually hearing a very large tree fall into the lake! It was incredible!

Our family has enjoyed this lake for many years. This was the first time we had rented a house. Lucky for us that we found one with such a spectacular view of the Lake. The peace and beauty of this part of the state is its lake views. We plan to build [a home nearby] this fall - all because of our stay at your beautiful lake house. PS Thanks for all the linens and stocked kitchen.

This is an absolutely lovely home with a view and peace that lets God touch you with His hand. The lake is stunning and we all had the most lovely time exploring all the little caves and water falls. Thank you for sharing!

Welcome to our home away from home - Serendipity! We hope that you will get the same enjoyment out of it as we do. This is our dream home. No matter how bad of a week we've had at work, just the sight of the water cheers us up. Whether it's seeing the sun come up over the ridge across the lake or watching the shore change colors as the sun goes down. We feel totally and completely at home. Our only regret is that we can't enjoy it 365 days a year, but I really hope that you are here! Have a great vacation!
