Overall a nice olace

We enjoyed our stay here, visiting Land between the lakes and the surrounding area. We had two adults and our four kids so we were thankful for everyone to have their own bed. The decks were nice and the weather was great while we were there. Location was convenient for accessing LBL through the north or south entrances. The bedrooms were not as clean as we would like, and some parts of the house had very clearly not been cleaned since the last people stayed there. We also would have appreciated things being better stocked (k cups, TP) for 6 people staying 4 nights. Overall positive.

Comfy cabin

We had a great time staying and the Kentucky cabin. The family room space was large and comfortable, and the kitchen had everything we needed and was also ample in size. We enjoyed our coffee on the back deck, which had a beautiful and peaceful view. We look forward to returning to this cabin.

Excellent Stay

This cabin was exactly the getaway that we needed. We come to Kentucky to visit children and grandkids and great grandchildren. This home was large enough to hold us all with a lot of area to Rome and check out the cabin was clean, neat and tidy, and we also got to meet the housekeeper, that was exceptionally welcoming and understood our earlier arrival and invited us in. I can’t say enough nice pleasant word to describe this cabin. It was just absolutely perfect and fully start with all the needs that she would need. I will be booking this again when we come to Kentucky in a few months .

Peaceful Cabin

Our family was very comfortable staying in this log cabin. The family room was especially spacious and offered plenty of comfy seating. The kitchen was quite large and had all the necessary cookware. Coffee and a granola bars were a nice touch. The outdoor deck was elevated nicely and had plenty of outdoor seating. We enjoyed listening to the birdsong while drinking our morning coffee on the deck. Note that all bedrooms are located on the lower level down a set of stairs off the first floor living space. We would definitely stay at this cabin again.

A comfort in every way

Our family has booked many vacation rentals over the years. Never before have we been in a home with such attention given to every little detail! The cabin was impeccably decorated and cleaned. The beds were very comfortable. Melissa, our hostess, was delightful! Interestingly, we had a tornado warning one day. While the storm was several miles from us, we were comforted in being able to go to the basement. Not many rentals have basements in which to hide! We hope that many travelers will be able to enjoy the Country Escape log cabin at Kentucky Lake as we have. Five stars, indeed!

Could probably use a little maintenance work. There were a few minor things that we noticed while we were there like the main door had to be lifted to get the deadbolt to lock. I had to buy an allen wrench to reattach the handle to the storm door because the set screw wasnt tightened all the way. But overall it was pretty good. The family had a great time and we loved the location.

Cozy older cabin - newly redone upstairs

This is a great location! 2 bedrooms with doors, another 3 beds in a common area, which are all in the basement. We had a good vacation with only a few hiccups. There is a back deck, but some of the furniture was not ideal for sitting. There was an odor when we first arrived, but disappeared after getting the a/c on. We also found a bottle with cigarette butts on it outside, and had to ask for someone to come and remove it which we did. When looking for silverware in the kitchen, we also found packs of cigarettes. Not ideal for a rental in my opinion, but we made the best of it. Beds were comfy and the location was great.

It was alright...

The property was nice for the price but the firepit in the driveway was falling apart, the gas firepit on deck did not have ANY propane. The kitchen was not well stocked. The basement shower handle fell off due to a rusted out screw.

Beautiful, Rustic, and Relaxing Cabin

This property was exactly what our family fishing trip needed. Great little get-a-way with the marina right down the road. The water pressure in the bathrooms was amazing. We all felt refreshed after a long day of fishing. Also, the cozy setting area was perfect for my daughter. She loved all the options the tv had to offer! Overall, this was by far the absolute Best place that we have stayed. Don't let the price fool you into thinking it's going to be a dump because It is NOT. Loved everything about it!!! Thank you

Nice, but....

The cabin is cute. Most of the essentials are provided. It needs some structural repairs, such as the front porch has boards that are rotted. Back deck needs to be refinished.

Great cabin and location

Listing was spot on accurate! Great cabin and location!! My only issue was lack of communication with owner/management team. I sent numerous texts via “contact host” link and never heard back. Although my texts were not emergency, wondering what guests would do if they had an extreme issue?
