Quiet with great view.

Long weekend on the Bourbon Trail with some friends. Was quiet and peaceful while resting and recovering. Coffee on the deck in the morning was lovely. Might be a little far off the Bourbon trail itself, but a few extra minutes of driving as well worth it. Plenty of room for 4 guys.

Perfect place to stay in the middle of the bourbon trail.

Everything was perfect! Beautiful views, clean home, owner was very responsive and helpful with booking and getting us anything we needed. Even sent someone over with a new propane tank so we could enjoy the outdoor fire pit. It was a perfect centralized location to do multiple locations on the bourbon trail. Would 100% recommend!

Weekend family getaway

Spacious and at end of culde sac. Hot tub nice but keep lights off (too many nats or misquotes). Beds comfortable and nice quality of sheets. Carpets need professional cleaning. Toliets need adjusting for flushing. Lake access very nice and enjoyed our time there.

Great Location For The Bourbon Trail

The house worked great for us. 3 couples, 3 bedrooms, 3 bathrooms, laundry, hot tub and private deck with a fireplace table. The beds were comfortable. We spent minimum time there because we were jetting off every day in a different direction to different distilleries. We grabbed groceries to made dinner and breakfast at the house since there isn’t really any restaurants close by. The house was clean. It’s a dated house and community but the host made it comfortable and it’s way cheaper and more comfortable than a hotel.

No hot water. No hot tub. Dirty windows and dishes.

The area is beautiful but this place was not worth it. As nice as the manager Suzanne was she couldn’t do anything and no one apparently makes sure things are clean and working between rentals. I guess the owners are to blame. They sure don’t take care of what they have. The deck was new. The view was nice. It was the only true part of their ad.

Beautiful clean large house with a nice lake view and 2 Master Suites. Property was well kept including the trail behind house going to the lake. Had no issues getting in and settled, and the hottub was nice after the 9 hr drive. Came prepared for bugs near the lake as recommended. Lots of flys and some spiders, didnt have an issue with mosquitoes. A few things for the owner to consider;Carpet replacement - Although it was clean, there are numerous stains from previous vacationers.Main floor master bath fan - On its last leg.Wifi - post the password in the house. Never could find it online and verizon gets about 1/2 a bar.Overall a nice vrbo at a reasonable price and i would stay here again.

We stayed here for 4 days during the louder than Life festival. Upon arrival we noticed that the upstairs the main draw of the property. The air conditioning wasn't working so we promptly contacted the host and they sent out their father-in-law who had no idea how air conditioning worked. Thought he had it fixed but it was still blowing out 90 air. When I contacted them again after he left, I received no further communication except for a typed response about. We hope you enjoy your stay. So we had to sleep in a 90 bedroom upstairs the entire weekend and could not get anyone to answer us back. The hot tub has about 20% of power in the pumps and the upstairs jacuzzi tub does not work at all. It was a beautiful place in a great area but most things there are broken and not working

Our stay was brief, but we enjoyed our time at this property. The house is clean and very well maintained, and the views of the lake from the house were absolutely beautiful.

Spring Break Retreat

Our family chose this location to get away from the busyness that our schedules usually include. It was absolutely perfect! The property felt very much like home and was quiet and relaxing. We enjoyed the scenery and even met a few wonderful neighbors also vacationing at the resort. Overall the trip was perfect and our week provided much needed R&R!

Peaceful Getaway

This property was easy to get to and had all we needed for our quick trip! The property managers were responsive during the booking process, and we didn’t need to contact them since we had no issues during our stay - yay! We enjoyed the clean, quiet, and beautiful surroundings along with our dog. We will be back! : )

Perfect for our girls’ weekend

We rented this cabin for a short girls’ weekend getaway (me, my mom, and my sisters). It was perfect. Cabin was well kept, views from the hot tub perfect (perfect for watching the sunset), nearby walking trails, Great Lake view nearby, safe overflow parking, and property manager was very easy to work with. Small maintenance issue arose our first night & she had the handyman out first thing the next morning, he was in and out in 5 minutes and super friendly. While process was hassle-free so we could just relax & enjoy our weekend. Would definitely rent this cabin again!

One of the BEST!

We spent Christmas with family and it was perfect. Owner was awesome to work with, very well stocked with kitchen necessities, paper products, towels, etc. Plenty of room for 6 adults and great location on Bourbon Trail. We will absolutely be back and rent this house again.
