We really enjoyed our stay! The house was absolutely beautiful. By far one of the nicest we have stayed in so far. My son enjoyed fishing and we did lots of day trips during the week. Mammoth cave is a must! We went to Lost River Cave as well. We went to the Corvette Museum and Nashville all in one day. Such a fun trip exploring Kentucky!

Along the lake.

For anyone wanting a get away from the chaos of society, this house has what your looking for. This fully furnished house has the utensil and everyday needs to make getting away simple all you need is your suitcase!. The house has amazing wood work throughout the house giving you that cabin on the lake vibe, nestled along the lake. My family and i absolutely loved our stay and highly recommend to anyone wanting to get away!
