This was a lovely little (2 bedroom) cottage…perfect for fishing and relaxing! Love the rocking chairs on the deck overlooking the lake. We didn’t have time to fish or kayak as we were there to see the Ark Encounter and the Creation Museum. The VRBO was very comfy…great sofas inside. Had a visit daily from Roxy the dog. Sweet. Will return.

Great place!

It may seem like you aren't at the right place, or that youre driving thru someone's yard, but once we got to the house, we had the best time. The directions were perfect, and the house was clean, and had everything we needed to have a great trip!

We enjoyed our time on the back porch overlooking the lake in the evenings. We watched the beavers swimming around the dock as well as the herring and rabbits. Very relaxing after a busy day at the Ark.

Wonderful view of a tranquil lake.

This is a beautiful place to relax and enjoy the lakeview. It is nicely decorated, with a well equipped kitchen. Four women stayed there comfortably. My granddaughters loved the luxurious shower snd the free kayaks. I loved just sitting on the deck, and looking at the peaceful water. Though I live less than an hour away, it was a real vacation for me. We will definitely be back. Granny of Cold Spring,Ky.

Clean, peaceful, great fishing .

Lake house was clean and cozy. Supplied with things that you didn't realize that you forgot. Very peaceful and quiet. Right on the lake, which had great fishing. While fishing one night, three beavers swam right past me. Saw otters playing twice. Just a quiet, peaceful, great fishing place.

Driveway challenge

Everything went well. The property is nice. Inside the cottage is nice. Everything went very well. The only thing my wife and l found to be an issue and it may not be for other people but going in and out of the driveway it’s a big challenge and we did not look forward to it every time we had to go out and come back. Otherwise, it was a really nice stay on the property.
