The house was clean, cute, and comfortable. All of the extra touches for our dog were appreciated (food bowls, baby gates, etc) The community itself was slightly misrepresented. The community pool/bball area was torn up. Neighboring properties were closer than we thought and in disrepair.
Such a cool spot! It has lots of beds and a ton of outdoor space. It is in a beautiful area and it was nice to hear all of the crickets and tree frogs and no sirens!
Checkin was easy and unit was clean. Very nice place. We enjoyed our stay. The stairs to loft are very steep but not a problem for us. There is no pool or marina as stated in the VRBO site.

Hi Daniel- we leave a home manual with information and a map in the home for our guests. That manual shows where the marina is located within our neighborhood (less than a mile up the road from our home). Sorry you didn’t see that! Also-there is a pool in the community within walking distance from the home, however a new one is currently in the process of being built. Thanks for staying!
The house had plenty of space and room for outdoor activity. We especially enjoyed the deck area. Kitchen oven could use a good clean but otherwise everything else is as advertised. We had a great Holiday weekend here.
We were so happy staying here. Lots of parking room for trucks and trailers, plenty of room inside, great layout, very clean, end lot with lots of privacy and a cool airstrip right behind the property. Will always choose this place when we return to KY.
The owner was responsive to all communications. The house is rather unique, built on a hill so the floors are spaced well and create nice areas for dining and entertainment. I really loved the property! A huge deck with chairs and benches to hangout on. A large fire pit in the yard, a really nice charcoal grill.I’ve been going on trips to Land Between the Lakes for over 40 years and this is my first time at this property. Very well done!
Great place to stay with our family getaway of 4 adults, 4 kids and 2 dogs!!! Lindsey was great to communicate with and would answer any questions in a timely manner. Looking forward to the next time to stay!!! Thanks Lindsey for letting us stay in your home!!!

Lake House
Property was great. We were there for a Jeep Jamboree in Turkey Bay. The cabin worked out great, very nice!
Wonderful stay for my installation crew as they were in town to work at the local library. They loved the house and everything was clean and just like home! Thank you for being attentive and for a wonderful stay for my employees.
Took our FFA Chapter Officers on a retreat to do our yearly planning. The student had a great time and there was so much that they could do in the area. Loved all the board games that they had available for our rainy day.
Thank you Lindsey loved our stay and all of the information and getting back to us with timely responses. The game room was great for the kids. We had a great time! Will def keep this property in mind for future.

It was amazing
Our stay here was amazing. The place was clean and the decoration was lovely and very fitting. The runway that led to the lake was great to stroll on and look at the stars. I couldn't have asked for a better place to stay. I would definitely recommend it.
