Quiet, Private 2 BR/1.5BA Unit ~ Lake View, next to Wood Creek Boat Dock
This unit is located near the Wood Creek Boat dock. (Wood Creek Lake is a small lake in Laurel County, KY; there is no high speed boating, skiing, tubing or jet skiing) There are two bedroom with one having its own half bath. There is a great kitchen with plenty of pots and pans so that you can prepare your meals but if you want to travel to London it is only a short drive away. Located on 10 acres there is a short trail to walk down to the lake and there are woods to explore. There is parking for trailers but it is not right next to the cottage, it is about 250 feet away. Come spend a weekend, a week or a month in this lake front paradise. There are two similar cottages on the property for groups of up to 18. Winter guests should be aware that we are unable to remove snow from the walks and driveway so you stay at your own risk. Kentucky often has very mild winters so feel free to book your winter getaway with knowledge that if a snow storm is predicted for the area that you may cancel and receive a full refund if you cancel before your check-in date. If you must leave during your stay because of winter weather we will refund the daily rate for any days left in your stay but know that VRBO does not refund their fees when there is a partial refund. If you brave the snow it is beautiful down here. The property is also secured by cameras, one is located on a tree across the driveway capturing the front of the cottage. The other is on a tree behind the cottage capturing the parking area and rear of cottage.

We live close by and go down there to clean or to check things out and find it so peaceful and inviting that we stay for hours just sitting around enjoying the solitude. I love the place.
Our family of four enjoyed our time at this property. We loved the location of this house. It was tucked back in the trees, had a beautiful view and easy access to the lake. We would definitely recommend staying here!

Thanks for staying with us. We built these little cottages in the woods to be a comfortable getaway for those who need to get away from things or to those who are traveling for work. Please come again, we loved having you as our guest.
Thank you for staying with us, please come back again soon.

Perfect get-away
The house, location and description were exactly as depicted. We really enjoyed our stay. It was perfectly restful and quiet. I particularly enjoyed getting up in the morning, sitting out on the porch, watching the sun come up over the hills and listening to the many varieties of birds calling and singing.

Thank you for your kind response, we are so glad that you enjoyed your stay. This is a very peaceful location but you can have fun on the water as well. Also, thank you for being such great guests. My wife and I were in the unit after you left and when we first went in my wife thought that no had been there, you left it almost as you had found it, we hope that you return again soon.
The property was exactly as the picture shows. It was just like being in your own home. They had everything down to the toaster! We loved it!

Nice cabin in the woods. Lake beautiful need boat to fish here. Beds are only complaint.
Nice long weekend near Wood Creek Lake. Need boat to fish here!! Cabin very nice and comfortable the only complaint is the beds. Not comfy at all. Owner was great.
It was a great stay and the owner was really polite. We had an ant problem, most likely because it rained, but they brought us some ant traps for us. Only thing that bothered me was there was a wasp nest in the front door when we arrived. The main Bathroom needs a little work but that didn't bother us to much. It's a great view and you can walk down the hill to the lake. The driveway down is very hidden and very tight. The owner did make us aware of that the day before our stay.

BEAUTIFUL AREA WITH GREAT VIEW OF WOOD CREEK
Very nice place with awesome views! The place was very clean and stocked with just about everything you’d need. The beds were comfortable too! The only negative comment I have is that we had 2 trucks with trailers and with the big boulder in the middle of the turn around and a big dumpster on the side of the turn around, it was very challenging to get around and couldn’t get off the road very well. But other than that, I would highly recommend this place! It’s a great location with the gas and stores being within maybe 10 miles.

Thank you for staying with us, so glad that you had a good stay. The construction waste container shouldn't be there and I will continue to try to get it moved, I assume that the people who own the property next door are preparing to do some renovation. Hopefully the container will be gone soon.
This cottage is absolutely adorable! We stayed here for a wedding in the area and even squeezed in some fishing. The place is very clean and has a nicely equipped kitchen.
I only have 2 small suggestions. As we are big coffee drinkers, a larger coffee maker would have been nice. And the tv seemed very dated. Neither of these things would keep me from staying again though!

Clean but no internet
We loved the location which was remote and yet only 10 minutes from gas and groceries. Everything was in good condition and clean. The beds were comfortable. The 100 steps leading down to the lake were scary and I would not recommend them for children. The main problem for us was the lack of internet. We called the owner who sent someone out to fix it, but it still was not working when we left.

Thank you for staying with us and for your review. There are a lot of steps and you are correct, if you have small children; they need to be closely supervised. Sorry about the internet but I had been there before your stay and the internet was working. We recently bought this property and you were one of our first guests. I had switched all utilities to my name and all was good until the former owner called to take the service out of his name and someone at Windstream shut the service off without noticing that it had already been changed over. I had someone come out from Windstream and they said that the signal was strong and that everything was working properly and we have had no other problems with the internet.
There was mouse poop in the silverware drawer and under the sink....sooo gross.
The smoke alarm kept beeping throughout the night that the battery is low
The lamp in the bedroom is broke and my nephew got zapped trying to turn it on
There is water sitting in some of the pans in the cupboard...and they are black inside of them.
The bed felt like it was going to break and it dips in the middle of it.
There was a dirty cup in the sink and dishes in the dishwasher when we got there ( was not sure if they were clean or dirty)

This guest expressed no concerns to me until I contacted her about the fact that they drove into the front yard with what appeared to be a truck and left ruts 6 to 8 inches deep. This was not just a mistake where they didn't realize that the soil was soft and their vehicle would cause damage because they did it twice leaving two 8 inch deep ruts which crossed each other and each was 10 to 15 feet long. They also left the front door and back doors unlocked. They mentioned a cup in the sink. I must admit that I brought in a cup of water when I came in to check the unit and must have left it in the sink. The guest mentioned pans that were black inside; the previous guest had burned something in two of the large pots. I was able to get them clean but the white interior of the pans did become discolored but not black. I didn't have time to replace them before this guest arrived but have bought others but the pans in place were not dirty and were perfectly useable and we will probably use them at home. She mentioned mouse droppings but I did not see any having taken everything out of the cabinets where the pans were and under the sink as well as the silverware drawer and found none. The guest also mentioned that the smoke detectors where chirping but these units are electric with battery back up and I have never heard them chirp while I was there but I did put in new batteries even though the old ones were only about 3 months old and batteries usually last over a year. She mentioned being zapped by a lamp, the unit has arc fault breakers and will trip at the slightest arc and no breaker was tripped so being zapped is virtually impossible. They did however loose the switch knob on the lamp in the master bedroom. I think that this guest was disrespectful, damaged my property and thought that they would punish me for calling them on it. I would never knowingly rent to them again. We take pride in our units and appreciate constructive suggestions but retribution is not appreciated.
We had a wonderful stay on this beautiful, calm and serene lake. The house was very comfortable and clean and a nice place to return after days spent fishing and hiking. A true hidden gem!

Glad that you enjoyed your stay, please come again, we will likely have the dock done by then and we are adding another small cabin to our inventory.
My son, my husband, and I enjoyed this place very much. The property manager sent directions instead of an actual address, which I thought was strange at first, but once you got down there it made a little more sense. The property was clean but needed the grass cut pretty badly. The grill was also out of propane, but there is a charcoal one as well that we were able to run up the street and purchase stuff for. Overall, for the price you can't beat it. Everything was pretty modern and looked nice inside. The driveway was a little iffy as the drive is an unmarked gravel road right after a pretty dangerous corner (which the property manager did mention in his directions). Our key code that was provided didn't work, so we called the owner and he came right away. Very friendly and responsive. Its about 30-40 mins from Laurel Lake, has its own little walk down to Wood Creek Lake, and is close to several small stores. Would definitely recommend and would stay again. Thank you!
We enjoyed staying here. My husband and I came down to celebrate our 22nd wedding anniversary! The view was pretty. We enjoyed having our coffee out back, where we could see the lake. We drove down to the dock and did a little fishing. It was a nice place to rest and enjoy the weekend. We would definitely stay here again.

We enjoyed having you, please come and stay with us again.
The cabin was great for four guys, five would have been a little tight. The parking is lacking if you take a boat it has to be parked down the hill toward the lake, if you need to charge batteries you need a couple hundred feet of cord. We also had three pickups and all three could not park at cabin. Don't take this as bad we had a great time and will go back again more prepared.

About the host
Hosted by Philip Gilkison
I sell real estate in Laurel County Kentucky and live only about 10 minutes from this lake home. I worked as a nursing home administrator for 27 years. I loved working with the elderly and miss it but it was time for a change. Part of my real estate business is renting these Wood Creek Lake properties.
Why they chose this property
The great little home overlooks beautiful Wood Creek Lake. It is near our home so that we can enjoy it any time that our guests are not. There are trails and parks near by. The Wildcat Offroad park is 8.7 miles away.
What makes this property unique
There are two similar units near by and also a small lodge so you could schedule a get together with 30 or so having plenty of room to enjoy a great time in the woods near the water. We are not affiliated with the lodge. We also have a little cabin that is just a couple hundred yards away that is also available to rent.
