Great place to stay with your dog. The deck has a rail all the way around. Beautiful view! Comfortable bed and furniture. Enjoyed the heater on the deck at night. Close enough to all the fun little towns.
House was great and served what we needed it to. Access to the lake and dock is tricky from the house but not many homes on the lake with access. Would stay again!
The property was beautiful both inside and out and provided an ideal setting for a family. I encountered no issues during our stay. The property manager was very helpful and responded promptly to our inquiries.
Beautiful house and location. The veiw of the lake was incredible, and a short walk to the water.The host responded quickly to all questions, and made our stay as pleasant as possible. Strongly recommend!
Second time staying here . Highly recommend ! Little further away from venue than wanted but well worth the drive - scenic tour also very nice! we will definitely come again .
Beautiful location on the lake (though a little bit of a walk down to the lake- wear shoes). Great communication with management. Loved having the the 2 levels/kitchens to give plenty of space for everyone.
The property was a great place to stay. It is centrally located to Mammoth Caves, Bowling Green and historical sites. It is only about an hour north of Nashville, which made for easy visits. If you want to be comfortable and relax, this is the place to be. The deck provides a great place to unwind after taking a day trip to local attractions.
Quiet waterfront property. Bring your own sharp knives, or a sharpener! Trails nearby, but some gave dogs ticks (even though they are medicated). Luckily the stores nearby had a comb to get them off. Host was really fast at communicating. We plan on going back!
We loved it ! We went to LS FEST Car show , this is our fourth year . It was the perfect place to stay for our family to be together all in one place . This has been our best trip yet !
The house was spacious and comfortable with lots of amenities. The view to the lake was very picturesque and the sunsets on the dock were breath taking. Excellent star gazing at night. The host was very responsive to questions throughout the trip.
Awesome time with family and friends. The place was perfect for our needs spent the day floating in the lake and the afternoons checking out the great views enjoyed the golf nearby and the long walks through the trails. This truly was a great vacation thanks so much for your hospitality and all the accommodations would recommend to anyone Wanting some quiet time with family and friends
the place is great, the lady who manages is cool, but they lock the A/C on the upstairs but not downstairs... to pay this kind of money and have to ask permission to turn the A/C on or off is ridiculous. location and the lake is gorgeous, however sweating all night trying to sleep and then asking permission is more than I can deal with ever again.
Comfortable, clean, and good location. Given that it is a lakehouse, it is likely renters will have boats, jet ski's etc. and the parking and lack of dock are a minus. Still, a great place and good value. We had a fun time.

I am happy that you enjoyed the house. Concerning the dock access, while there are docks adjacent to the property, these are privately owned and regulated by the US Army Corp of Engineers. Per their regulations, no renter can utilize these docks. I am sorry about this, but I am following the government regulations I had to agree to as part of being a dock owner and permitting access across my property for the owners of the private docks. As far as parking, parking is limited at a lot of the house along the lake, this is lake life. The picture of the house shows the parking available for the renters. The gravel area off the street is reserved for the owners of the docks to park their vehicles, as they are not permitted to park on the asphalt driveway of the house.
Thank you for renting the house and I hope you come back in the future.

Really great place to stay, this was our second year in a row staying here for New Years. I highly recommend it for anyone looking to get away for a nice quiet trip to relax and unwind. Great communication with Property manager. Very clean, well kept, and well stocked house.
We wanted a relaxing house on the lake for a family getaway. Our grandsons loved the bunk room and the adults loved the spacious and comfortable bedrooms. The kayaks, canoes and dock were an added treat just down from the house. The large deck was relaxing with a view of the lake. Overall, we were very happy with our stay. It does need a new cook stove.
Property manager was very helpful. Check in was easy. Few issues with flies inside. The path to the water is challenging with the kayaks. We did have fun in the water swimming and using the kayaks.
