Very nice property. The kids loved the ping pong table. One daughter loved the swinging bed on the porch and claimed it as hers. So convenient to the Bailey's campground dock for getting on and off our families boat. Had fun and good food at Rusty's and good breakfast at the place beside Rusty's. Best part was it was only 2 hours from home. We live in Madisonville, KY. Our daughter is from Franklin, KY and they take their camper to Bailey's Point. Great place to meet up!

Our stay at the Blue Cat was absolutely wonderful! From the moment we arrived, we felt right at home. The house was clean and beautifully decorated!The views of the lake were beautiful, and spending mornings with a cup of coffee on the back porch were the best! The peaceful setting was exactly what we were looking for.The hosts were exceptional—friendly, responsive, and thoughtful. They made sure every detail was taken care!Whether you're looking for a family vacation, a weekend with friends, or simply a quiet place to unwind, this lake house is the perfect choice. We look forward to staying here again!

Thank you so much for such a fun review! I love that you got to experience that "treehouse" magic. It is always fun to see what animals you can see and hear from the house! The pictures you shared of the screened porch are absolutely beautiful. It is one of my favorite spots, and I am so glad it gave you the perfect, cozy vantage point to take everything in. It really is the best of both worlds being an easy drive to Mammoth Cave and Nashville while a more laid back lake vibe. You were fantastic guests, and we would love to welcome you back to The Blue Cat anytime you need another relaxing nature escape!

Thank you so much for the wonderful review! I am absolutely thrilled to hear that your family had such a relaxing time at The Blue Cat. Hearing that your family loved the screened-in porch and the bed swing completely makes my day! That space was designed specifically for exactly what you described: slow morning coffees, family chats, and pure relaxation. Knowing it provided the perfect backdrop for your family time together means the world to me. You were wonderful guests, and we would absolutely love to host you and your family again the next time you need a peaceful getaway. Whenever you're ready to return, just let us know!

Loved this cottage (beds were very comfortable).I was able to cook a meal for my TN family as they had everything I needed. Only things I was frustrated with was I didn't have hot water my 1st day. If renting from this location tell them right away, so they can come turn on the hot water for you. Also, the main door locks every time you go in/out..so memorize your code. Will definitely stay again....very relaxing home.

Thank you so much for the wonderful review and for your understanding! I am so glad you found the the Blue Cat cozy and the beds comfortable!. Creating a relaxing space where families can gather is exactly what we aim for. I want to sincerely apologize again for the hot water issue on your first day. We had just completed routine maintenance on the water heater right before your arrival, and the breaker was accidentally left off. I am so incredibly grateful that you reached out to us right away so we could rush over and flip it back on for you! We pride ourselves on being highly responsive and local hosts, so if a guest ever needs anything at all, we are always just a quick message away and ready to jump into action. Thank you also for the great tip for future guests about the auto-locking door. It’s a wonderful security feature for the house, but memorizing that code on day one definitely makes coming and going a breeze! You were fantastic guests, and we would absolutely love to welcome you back for another fully relaxing—and fully hot-water-ready—stay anytime!

Thank you so much for the kind words! We are thrilled to hear that both families had a comfortable stay and enjoyed the decor and amenities. There’s nothing quite like those lake views, so the deck and patio are our favorite places to hang out too. It was a pleasure hosting you, and we look forward to welcoming you back for another visit soon!

We had a wonderful stay at The Blue Cat. The house was spotless and had everything we needed—from kitchen essentials to cozy linens. The screened porch quickly became our favorite spot, offering stunning views of the lake and unforgettable sunsets each evening. It was the perfect place to unwind and reconnect. Highly recommend for anyone looking for a clean, comfortable, and peaceful getaway!
