We had a wonderful time at this beautiful home. It was a great location, and the house was clean, comfortable, spacious and well stocked. The host was very gracious and communicative. We can’t wait to return!
Our famiky (5 adults and 8 grandkids) thoroughly enjoyed our time at the lake house. Plenty of room for everyone, comfortable and cozy. We will definitely return.
We are college friends who have been getting together yearly for 49 years. First time to Nashville/Kentucky area Lots of fun, good location after the craziness of Nashville
Everything was perfect. Great Lake access by a short walk. We were able to use their dock for our boat while we were there. TONS of space to spread out inside the 3 story house. They were wonderful, welcoming hosts! We had a great time!
Great house for multiple families and kids. Plenty of room in the kitchen and common areas for the group to gather but also enough privacy to have the kids downstairs playing pool and hanging out while the adults enjoyed the upstairs...but everyone fought over the massage chair! Wish the lake was down but the location was perfect. Thanks for sharing
This house spacious and accommodating. Plenty of bedrooms and living space/outdoor space to host a bigger family. There is no direct lake access from the property but you only have to walk for a minute or two to get to the dock. The lake is beautiful with plenty of "beach" areas. Definitely would recommend!
Wonderful location close enough to Mammoth Cave for a day trip and super close to Barren River State Park. We went to the state park and rented a boat one day and had a wonderful time out on the lake. The house was very nice and we had kids ranging from 20 to 6 years old and everyone had a great time. Clint was very nice and answered all our questions before hand in a very timely manner. I’ll definitely recommend this house to anyone looking to vacation in this area.
We came for a graduation. All of our kids came. The house was perfect. Very clean, had everything we needed. A great layout to be together but separation when it was needed. The drive to the house was beautiful, as was the setting of trees. Could nit have been any better!
3 generations stayed comfortably here, enjoying the deck and screened porch, meals around the table and neighborhood walks. Visited Barren River area parks and Paradise Point for hot dogs etc and Caster’s bait shop for sundries. We also visited Railpark museum in Bowling Green and toured the L&N train, which was a highlight. The hosts provided ample towels and hand, dish and dishwasher soap. Our dogs enjoyed walking around the quiet neighborhood. Highly recommend.
We loved it! It was the perfect place for everyone to have their own personal space but still gather in the living area as we celebrated Christmas as a family. Nice bathrooms (4). Nice bedrooms. Beautiful, well-stocked kitchen. Very warm and comfortable. My grandchildren loved it. The driveway is very steep but we didn't have any parking problems. My only suggestion would be to add a handrail going to the basement. We thank the Jones family for sharing their beautiful home with us!
The owner was very responsive when we needed gas for the grill and other concerns. The house was beautiful and the kitchen was fairly well stocked. It would have been nice to have more plates and silverware for the 10 of us. I think there were only 8 plates and the house is marketed for 12 people. We had to use paper plates and plasticware. The upstairs loft bathroom could use a towel bar. We had 4 sharing that bathroom and there was only one towel hook. Minor things, but overall a lovely home!
We do an annual trip each year for all of the "kid" cousins to be together. The basement was perfect to be able to give them their own space to just hang out together. The living room upstairs was the perfect place for the whole bunch to watch movies. All of the bedrooms and bathrooms were spacious and well appointed. The kitchen had everything we needed for cooking and the refrigerator was large enough to hold all the food we needed for our stay. This was definitely one of the most well built VRBO's we have ever rented (we rent at least 3 times a year). The kids could play music and pool in the basement and didn't bother us upstairs with the door closed. I appreciated the soundproofing in that it didn't sound like elephants when someone walked around on the floor above you and that when showering it wasn't loud either.
We thoroughly enjoyed the property. My family and my husbands family met here for a weekend. Lots of space to gather but have your own space too if needed. First floor consisted of kitchen, half bath, bedroom with bathroom, living room. Large deck and screened in porch off kitchen. Second floor has 2 bedrooms with separate, large bathroom. Basement has bedroom with king bed, bedroom with 6 twin beds (3 bunk beds), separate large bathroom. Basement has pool table (bring your own sticks, the ones at property don’t have tips), laundry room, and walk out patio with 2 separate seating areas and fire pit. Location is on a steep hill. We did not pull our boat down the driveway. We docked boat then parked truck/trailer in driveway. About 5 mins from boat ramp/dam. Flat area on basement patio that the kids rode bikes/ scooters. Neighborhood over the hill that they did the same. Close access to the lake, private trail that may have been a little damaged from recent weather but walkable. My 65 y/o dad had no issue walking up and down the trail. Great stay. I would recommend brining your own blankets, no extras in the house besides the bedding (unless I overlooked them). We’ll be back!

Beautiful but dirty!
Started with walking in to find home was not cleaned in a long time covered in dust! Walked in to find counters, refrigerator and top of range covered in food and coffee water from broken machine. Opened oven to find it full of old burnt food and filthy. Found trash can area full of filth and old dirt/food. Walked the rest of the property immediately to find dirty carpets throughout. Bedding smelled musky from dust as well as towels. Pool table covered in dirt and all equipment in bad shape. No dishwasher soap so hand washing dishes only way to clean used equipment. Found fry pan covered in food in cabinet with cleaner pans. Before the first two hours we had two separate door handles fall off where I had to locate a set of allen wrenches so that I could reset screws to hold the handles on. As the days went by we noticed WiFi access to the home turned off at night and with no instructions on which of the multiple controllers controlled which units, we found that only one would turn just the TV on? After a bit we found one system would turn on by hand so we could put a movie in to watch! I walked the perimeter the next day and the inside to determine the other issues at this site included the following. Internal staircase to the lower floor has no handrails and is not safe to walk down without touching walls! The light strings on the patio have exposed filaments on two of the bulbs as well as very bad dirt, cobwebs and tree filth long since cleaned
Quick response from host to all questions addressed, before , during and after Much appreciatedRooms were clean and beds neatly made and very attractive. Welcoming. Adequate towels and bed linens for everyone. Everything was neatly organized with shelves in the kitchen labeled for dishes and utensils. Plenty of kitchen supplies to meet most needs. Directions for arrival and departure were very clearly indicated and easy to follow. Large, spacious house. It was a delight to have our entire family of 13 coming from 4 scattered States together with plenty of inside space for games, puzzles, large screen TV for world cup soccer because we had pouring down rain every night and it did not dampen our spirits one bit. It was a delightful weekend get together in a lovely setting. We loved the woodsy area with a beautiful view of the river down below.
The house is stunning and beautiful. We really enjoyed our stay. We had come into town to 4x4 at Blue Holler Offroad Park, which is a hour away from the house. Our only complaint is the steep driveway especially with hauling jeeps we had on trailers. The house was fully furnished with what we needed. Our family of 10 all had plenty of room. The decks off the back were so nice to sit and enjoy the view of the river. Clint the owner was super helpful as our GPS put us at a different house. Thank you and love your house.
We had a ball. Property was clean and had everything we needed. We had an issue with the door lock on one of the doors, the property manager promptly sent someone up to repair it. The only issue was with the listing. The site listed a sofa bed and futon, and the home did not have it. Other than that, everything was great. I recommend this property for any type of get away. I plan to return for family events in the future.
The house was as described in the listing. The house was supplied with everything needed and was peaceful and clean.
The owner was quick to respond to my questions and concerns.
The house was very nice. Large deck with a screened in area and lower patio area. Our negative comments: You cannot walk down to the lake on the property due to underbrush behind the house. Also, if you plan on cooking there were no potholders to use.
