Loved the house. Scary inside staircase but very easy to walk around outside to basement bedroom, pool table, cool party area, and firepit. The grill was amazing. Hummingbirds, deer, and butterflies everywhere!!!!!! Definitely not a walk to the lake kind of house, if you do not have a boat there are no real lake activities available. Awesome family get together house awesome kitchen, fun firepit area, definitely would come back!!!!!Thanks a million

Great everything! Great property, great host, close launching ramp access and close to Lake Cumberland. Kitchen and bathrooms were well stocked. Everything was clean. The back deck was my happy place. The cottage is in a quiet neighborhood. We will definitely return.

Our stay was great! The house was clean, comfortable, and cozy. Our host was very responsive and friendly. The neighbor is fantastic. We enjoyed nightly walks around the neighborhood. It is a beautiful area. The house was also conveniently located near the marina and Jamestown. We would definitely stay here again if in the area.

Stairs to lower level are not made for your average adult. Glass in refrigerator above drawers needed to be cleaned from prior spills/leaks.
