We had a fantastic time relaxing and reconnecting with our friends and family. The property was beautiful and felt secluded without being far away from a lot of different fun opportunities for entertainment for everyone. The house was clean and beautiful and had everything we needed to make our trip memorable.
GREAT STAY, NEEDED MAYBE ONE MORE BATHROOM FOR 11 PEOPLE. GOOD LOCATION, CLOSE TO EVERYTHING.

From the Owner: "Hi Larry, We’re really glad to hear you had a great stay and enjoyed the location! You're absolutely right, with a larger group, another bathroom would be helpful. We do try to make it clear in the listing that the home has two bathrooms, but we appreciate the feedback and will double-check to ensure that's clearly noted for future guests. Thanks again for staying with us!"
We enjoyed our stay a lot. My husband and son were in a fishing tournament this weekend and staying there cut their drive to the boat ramp from 1 hour 45 mins to 10 mins and allowed us to spend time together over the weekend. Everything was lovely!
We had a really good experience , The host was very responsive, the location was great, The house was well supplied with all the essentials.If we have 1 complaint the house could have been a little cleaner. (cleanliness was a 7 out of 10) We hope to come back in the future, The whole Family really enjoyed their stay.

Vacation with grandkids
Had a great stay. The grandkids loved the paddleboards. Plenty of room, played games , rented a pontoon boat at the marina and grilled burgers and hot dogs. Great time
We had a quick little family getaway. It was great for the ten of us. The kayaks and paddle boards were a hit! The fire pit was large enough for us all to sit around. We really enjoyed our stay.
From booking to check out it was all a huge blessing. The home was so inviting and relaxing. The personal touches the family provided were unexpected but so appreciated. The grounds were beautiful and there was lots of outdoor activities to keep our family busy. We can’t wait to go back next summer!

It was a very nice weekend except the Patoka Lake beach was closed due to high water, so we couldn’t use the kayaks at the house. It’s a nice private area. The house is nice.
Family of 11 stayed for three nights and it felt like home! We cooked large meals for breakfast and dinner each day. All supplies we needed were at our fingertips. Hope to visit again!
The property was perfect. We had 8 adults and 2 children. Everyone had enough space to relax. The yard was great for outside activities. We had everything we needed.
Perfect location for fishing with multiple boat ramps in the house has tranquility with not a lot of neighbor's. Only downfall is not a lot of restaurants or grocery stores in the area.
The house was great for 9 girlfriends to hang out, play games and sit outside! Scenery was beautiful, no close neighbors, town close, house clean and roomy!!
We enjoyed this property on Patoka lake. It was at the end of the street and felt very private. We had 4 adults and 5 children and the layout worked great for us. It was a bit rainy during our stay so we only got to enjoy the lake once. Its about a 2 min walk thats a little steep down to the lake. My older parents were able to do it, a little slower but without a problem. It might depend on the time of year but during our stay there wasn't any area to hang out by the lake. The water came up to the grass. The house was in a good central area to the things we wanted to do. We visited some of the caves, went to French lick, Spring mill state park, the Toyota experience and Louisville. The house was well equipped with everything we needed for making meals. My only suggestions would be that some bar stools at the counter would be nice. We fit 7 at the table but that left 2 people standing during our meals. Also a handle to get in and out of the big tub shower on the 1st floor. Especially since the water is soft and makes things slippery it was hard for my older parents and kids to use.

Quick get away
The house was decent for what we needed. Could use a few more kitchen utensils for cooking, hot water didn’t last long for showers, some of the photos definitely need updating on the original listing. Overall it was good for what we needed

We do all we can to make our homes the best possible stays, and we look forward to this property hosting many satisfied guests. Thank you for your feedback!
We went to this property to view the April 8th eclipse. It’s looked very beautiful and well maintained. Check-in was very easy and the owner even let us check in 3 hours early. The property was super clean, and turned out to be a rural oasis where we all enjoyed each other company, had a fire in their newly graded and graveled pit. Very nice! They even had some wood there. We had brought our own and didn’t need theirs, but it was impressive anyway. The eclipse was easily visible from the deck. Couldn’t have been a more perfect spot. We took games and planned a big poker game, but we enjoyed the property so much we never actually got round to either. It was fun just taking in the views. I would definitely go there again.
We had a great time staying at the house! There were 11 of us and there was plenty of room for everyone to sleep and move around. The owners had plenty of extras for us if we needed them (spices, coffee and creamer, toilet paper, paper towels, beach towels, and everything in the kitchen that you could possibly need). We thoroughly enjoyed the fire pit! They also had kayaks, paddle boards, float toys, sand toys for the kids, a wagon to haul stuff on the beach, beach chairs, and a foosball table in the garage. We didn't get to use the kayaks or paddle boards, even though we would have liked to. It is quite a ways down to the water to try to carry them back and forth, and pretty steep in places. All in all, though, we had a lot of fun with our kids and grandkids and celebrating my husbands birthday while there. We will definitely consider renting this house again in the future!!
The house was amazing. It was large and spacious and just as described. It was close to the lake, even though we couldn't enjoy due to the weather. There were quite a bit of bugs in the home, alive and dead, but that is expected in a home that is remote and close to the woods and lake. We are excited to book back in the summer to enjoy the lake!
