I’m sorry you felt the 300 yards of driveway was insufficient parking. Had we known. You were bringing a boat we would have happily let you know you could park and turn around in the grass. We’re sorry the fishing was not what you hoped it would be. The lake is almost 90 degrees which is never that great for fishing. You are welcome back anytime and maybe next time try Cumberland River below the dam-excellent Striper and Walleye fishing!

Amazing trip!

We went to visit family in the area and this place was so perfectly located. The cabin was spotless when we got there and very cozy to come back at the end of the day and relax. The owners are very nice wonderful people, communicated often with us to make sure the stay was going well and even gave us some veggies from their garden.

Fantastic country getaway

Great comfortable clean cabin with everything for a great stay! Close to several great lake spots, and included everything needed for cooking meals. Hosts were very friendly. Lovely nightly chorus of frogs, owls, whiporwills, and more to sing you into a restful sleep after a day of sun and swimming.

We had a great stay at Between the Waters. It was perfect for me and my partner to relax for a birthday weekend after a long work week and reconnect with nature. We enjoyed having coffee on the deck in the mornings and just having a peaceful little place to get away from it all. Jodi and Steven had things set up so wonderfully we never even needed to contact them, but we knew they were just a message away if we needed anything. I would absolutely stay here again and will keep it in mind if I’m in the area in the future.

Wonderful, peaceful, cozy little getaway

We stayed here 1/18-20 as we were far from home looking to purchase in the area. Our host, Jodi, was so warm and welcoming from our initial messaging through the end of our stay. She was so helpful and gave us a lot to think about moving there. We even got a little snow which being from FL are not accustomed to, but it looked like an idyllic winter wonderland, and she made sure we were prepared for the cooler temps and even gave us an update on the roads as she knew we planned to venture out to the surrounding towns.The place was perfect inside and out (looks brand new), very clean and had everything you would need to cook several meals. Above all, it was so relaxing and a nice place to get away from it all. I highly recommend and would love to stay again before we have our home there.

Mandy, Thank you for your very kind words. We loved hosting you and your husband, and your tiny 4-legged baby too! You are welcome to come back anytime and we're looking forward to touching base again when you do. We think you'll love moving to TN and will have zero regrets!

Memorial

I was there for a family memorial service. It was a very nice little cabin for 2 adults. Very clean & nice amenities. I do have just a couple of small recommendations. Maybe consider adding some over the door hangers to hang towels or clothes on & a couple of clothes hangers. It was very happy to discover the clothing steamer under the bathroom sink. It would be nice if there was a hanger to hange a shirt on while you steam it & after so it doesn’t wrinkle again. Also a full length mirror would be nice so you can see your finished outfit. 😊. Thank you for the nice water & snacks you provided as well. Amy
