About the host
Hosted by Danielle Lewis
We live just outside Louisville but spend as much time at the lake as we can. We built this house in 2019 and 2020 so that we could make memories with our family and friends in one of our favorite places in the world! We love hosting and want every person who stays in our home to truly feel like our guest.
What makes this property unique
We built this house with the specific goal of being able to host large groups comfortably (hence the open floor plan, extra large kitchen island, and four full bathrooms inside the home). A couple of years later, we screened-in the upper level deck and added an outdoor shower and hot tub. In September of 2025, we added a large, flat concrete pad at the bottom of the driveway so that we could put in a basketball goal and pickleball court. We try to spend as much time outside as we can, and we want our guests to have plenty to enjoy outside as well.
