Place was super clean and close to multiple boat ramps and 20 minutes from down town. plenty of room in driveway to park boat and easy to get out. The covered porch was a great place to hang out when the weather is not cooperating. owners were very responsive and helpful thank you and we will be staying again.

Jolene, Jolene!

We absolutely loved staying in Jolene! It is truly an amazing property with easy access to town and beyond. I specifically picked this property based on distances to what we were doing in the state. Everything is about an hour and a 1/2 away from Jolene! Jolene is immaculate! From the cleanliness to the decore - extremely well done! This fun theme is found throughout the home from large details to the smallest detail! Well stocked, thought out additions, and access to a variety of streaming services. I'd stay there again - in fact, I said I would live there! Well done hosts! You nailed a perfect vacation rental!

Wonderful Experience

This was our first stay at an property like this. We really enjoyed ourselves. The grandchildren could play in the fenced in backyard while the grownups talked and visited. We thouroughly enjoyed ourselves. It got too cold for us so we had to stay in the last couple of days. We are from the south and the north is really cold to us. It was comfy. We will make sure we call again when we need a place up in Kentucky. Thank you for an amazing experience.

Wonderful stay

This place was very clean and had a very comfortable mattress on the bed. I recently had neck/back surgery so I was worried about the bed being uncomfortable but it was very comfortable. The house was very cute- definitely will go back.

Laurel River Lake fishing adventure

Great place to stay 😊!! Plenty of parking for a 21’ boat and 2 vehicles.The house was super comfortable and very clean . The massive cold front made fishing extremely tough , but the scenic beauty was amazing.would highly recommend Jolene’s Place to family and friends. 😊✌️❤️

About the host

Hosted by Joey

Host profile image
This all began because of our love of Laurel Lake. I grew up in central Kentucky while my partner was raised just a few miles down the road. Over the years I was introduced to Laurel lake and just fell in love. It soon became our go to spot for quick get aways and full vacations but we would have to camp or stay with family. Now I love camping and our family but we really wanted a place to call our own. One day some close family friends mentioned moving to a new home and I jumped at the chance to purchase Jolene's Place. The rest is history.
