My wife and I loved it. The Kayaks were a bonus. We kayaked the river and found a waterfall. The property was perfect. The pond was really cool and you can get to the river to fish. Porch swing was also really nice.

We loved our mini-vacation and I plan to come back regularly. Perfect for a writing retreat (I’m an author) or a couple get-away, the cabin is excellently equipped to be cozy and peaceful, while the pond and gorgeous surroundings give you great vistas from the cabin porch and floating dock. It’s all designed for maximum relaxation (although there are kayaks and plenty of grounds to walk around.) Hosts answered all my questions graciously and quickly. This is truly a gem; the pictures don’t do justice to the charm and seclusion. One recommendation: The second bedroom could use a bedside table and reading lamp. So glad we discovered this getaway!!

Cozy private cabin! We especially loved everything outdoors. The private pond, kayaks, floating dock, and fire pit! The cabin was cozy and had everything we needed. Our daughter attends Asbury University which was a short 15 minute drive from the cabin. We enjoyed getting away in nature and being able to relax and enjoy one another.

Beautiful cabin in a beautiful location

Tastefully decorated cabin in an awesome location. We enjoyed using the cabin as a home base while we toured the Kentucky Bourbon Trail. We also enjoyed a evening fire in the fire pit and a delicious lunch from the location corner store!

Nice hideaway in beautiful area

Beautiful drive through "horse country" to get to this cozy and immaculately clean cabin. The owner's driveway goes through the front yard but otherwise you are in complete seclusion, with sounds and sights of nature all around. Great place to hide away and relax after exploring horse and bourbon fun nearby.

Awesome cabin. Had a great time with my family there. Very clean and everything looked brand new. There’s a blackstone grill on the porch that we didn’t get to use this trip but was very tempting. Would definitely come here again.
