Family stay at the lake

We had a great stay, the house was so comfortable, accommodating, well appointed, great location, and clean. The games, puzzles, and kayaks were great family activities. Too hot for hot tub, but a nice extra. The place was so tastefully done. The host made sure we were comfortable and happy.

This home is just as nice or better than the pictures. It's also well outfitted with everything needed in the kitchen, not to mention a welcoming fire pit with food and supplies to make s'mores. We would absolutely stay here again and the kind host is very much engaged in managing the property well.

A very sweet Serene Kentucky Lake Cabin

The neighborhood is quiet and peaceful. The cabin is nicely arranged with very comfortable beds. Truly, we slept well all three nights. The owners were very good. Communications were exceptionally easy and ahead of any questions. Check in and check out were very simple. Thank you for sharing your cabin with us.

Wonderful get away

We had 2 families (7 people) stay at the cabin it was terrific! The cabin was well stocked and clean! Check in was so easy! The hot tub was so relaxing, our group loved the coffee bar and used it A LOT! We had a beautiful day of snow, watching snow fall with the fireplace going and a cup a coffee was absolutely dreamy! Cannot wait to visit again in the summer and utilize the kayaks! We visited the ark and the commute was about 15 minutes one way and a very easy route! Thank you Julie for allowing us to use your beautiful property!

Everything You Need!!!

We were in the area to see the Ark Encounter and Creation Museum and let me just say that this house had EVERYTHING! Not only was it spacious and laid out perfect for multiple couples, the host provided small extras that made a huge impact, especially in the kitchen. The hot tub was a treat in the snow! We were 15 minutes from the Ark and 30 minutes from The Creation Museum and the area was super quiet and secluded for peaceful evenings. I would highly recommend this home for anyone! It was FABULOUS!!

Tranquil

We had a very pleasant stay here. The house was very well appointed and clean. My only negatives is that there was no dock for easy access to the lake and that the hot tub was not available at this time. This is totally understandable as they are adding on a deck. The new deck will be a great feature once finished!!

I am glad you enjoyed your stay! I am so sorry the deck was not complete for your trip. We had a delay on the railing and are hoping it is up in the next week. The dock is our next project so that should be available soon.

Blisfully Quiet

Cabin was just as pictured. Julie, the host, was excellent with communication. A plus was having all the light switches labeled and shampoo/conditioner/body wash in each bathroom. Kitchen fully stocked. We saw a mama deer and her baby on the hill behind us. We read, played games, napped and went to the Ark Encounter, Creation Museum and Newport Aquarium. If you are looking for a peaceful retreat facing a lake, this is the place for you. We would stay here again. Cindi T.

Serene KY cabin 5 stars!⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

My husband and I stayed at the cabin with our mothers for 5 wonderful days. It definitely reflects its name “serene cabin”. Very restful and relaxing. The pictures of the cabin online live up to real life, with no exaggeration. The new hot tub was amazing. We used it at night, and relaxed to the sound of bubbles and crickets chirping. The host was super helpful with any questions we had , and was quick to respond. Can’t recommend this place enough! If you go there,you will leave refreshed. Also, very close proximity to the Ark Exhibit, and the Creation Museum. I highly recommend this cabin, and want to thank the host for helping us create some beautiful memories!
