About this property

Country living at its best

** Veteran Owned and Operated**

Enjoy your stay in this home conveniently located to a variety of local attractions.
Lindsey Wilson College is just 6.5 miles away. We are approximately 20 miles away from Jamestown Marina, Lake Cumberland State Dock, Wolf Creek Dam/Wolf Creek National Fish Hatchery, Holmes Bend and Green River Lake State Park.

Our outdoor space features a well-maintained big yard with trees. We also have a fire pit - we provide the firewood, chairs and utensils for roasting hot dogs and marshmallows. We also provide a covered front and back porch (handicap accessible)-which is perfect for those who just want to relax and enjoy the simplicities of country living. If you need practice in "Beating Bobby Flay" be sure to make use of our outside grill and flat iron griddle.

There is a wide driveway with plenty of parking space, which is perfect for those who have small trailers, campers, and boats.

This home features three bedrooms (one queen, one full and one oversize twin day bed). Two full bathrooms-both include a tub/shower combo. A well-stocked kitchen (all cooking utensils, coffee pot, single cup coffee maker, pots/pans, silver ware.....etc). The living room has a convertible futon.
We also provide a fully operational laundry room, complete with detergent/fabric softener, iron and ironing board (but who needs that while on vacation? :)

Downtown Columbia and Lindsey Wilson College is less than a 6 mile drive. Perfect place for college student families to stay and visit with their kids! Russell Springs is 12 miles away. Many restaurants and stores can be found at each of these towns.

We look forward to sharing our country relaxation with you!!!

The property is in a quiet rural area. It has multiple outdoor areas to enjoy the views and the peaceful environment. It is very clean and comfortable. They have put a lot of effort into making sure you have what you need to settle in and relax. We did not use some of the amenities like grill/ outdoor cooking area. The ramp to get into the house made my life easier as we had a person with limited mobility. I recommend the property

The extra mile

We came from south carolina and my sister came from Alabama for our cousin's wedding. The place was exactly as described. Plenty of linens and towels. Love that they provided both a kurig and a coffee maker. Little touches like the candy bowl and fire wood and toiletries were a huge bonus. I would say this was my favorite vacation rental to date. I would definitely stay here agin when i visit family.

Clean well maintained. An hour drive to a ton of parks and 10 minutes to town. Quiet with fire pit and wood included and they also threw in the s'mores as a bonus.

Perfect place for the lake!

Had an absolute great time staying here. Had a long weekend of boating and this place was perfect. Entire place was clean and well taken care of. Plenty of parking and room for outside hangouts. Hosts are friendly and helpful! Will definitely be staying again!
