Great quiet place on the river

Our extended family stayed here for 6 days. The place is nicely decorated and in good shape. The downstairs was great for the young adults and the older adults took the upstairs. We enjoyed the patio and the fire ring. Only bummer was the boat ramp had mud from the river and we weren’t able to launch our boat there, but it still worked for our kayaks. We took the boat to the lake launch about 20 minutes away. Recommend!

Great place that lacks basic amenities

The good: The property is GREAT! As is the house. We LOVED being able to walk down to the river and fish. The bad: The lack of BASIC amenities was nothing short of ridiculous. We rented 4 Days/ 3 Nights for 5 people. There was not a single spare trash bag for ANY of the cans. No spare roll of paper towel. 1 spare roll of toilet paper per bathroom. No dish soap. No dishwasher detergent or laundry detergent. No BASIC spices or even butter. All items that I've had available at other short term rentals. Had i known i could have brought these items from home, to avoid an unnecessary 20-30min drive one way to town. The ugly: But more frustrating than that, a cleaning fee is totally understandable..... no problem. But when im paying a cleaning fee, I find it incredibly tacky at best to include doing the laundry before I leave. If i knew then what i know now, I'd still stay there.... I'd just come more prepared for the lack of attention to detail in an otherwise beautiful place to stay.

Nice House

Rented this 2-story house for one week as base for 7 golfers with room to spare. Within 30 minutes of South Lexington area courses. Modern kitchen and roomy living room. Nice, quiet 2-story deck overlooking KY River. Would not recommend to anyone who struggles with steps.

Cozy house with good amenities

We stayed for Breeders Cup/Keeneland. Is an easy enough drive 20 or so minutes away until the last few miles near that house that are very curvy 25 mph roads...finding in the dark the first night was a little challenging. The house is cozy. Especially enjoyed the upstairs living room/kitchen set up. Upstairs bedrooms are nice- only downside is there's some noise from traffic on the road. Teen/twenty-something slept downstairs in the bunk room that easily could sleep 8+ with it's own bathroom. Downside there is has a little dampness- is above ground but felt like a basement with dehumidifier. The deck is wonderful and if this were summer I could see using fire pit and outdoor charcoal grill (byo) and having a fun time on the riverbank. Stars are very clear! We didn't make it to the small town past the house, but did pick up food on US 68 (Brick Oven pizza was good) and there are several restaurants and a Kroger within 15 min. Overall a fun stay- especially enjoyed the games provided. A third bathroom would be ideal. Overall pics reflect the property well. Word of caution that the location is not on a main road/not in a neighborhood so no street lights at night and you need a cautious, capable driver especially at night.
