Ruth is an Excellent hostess! Her home has a beautiful view of the water and being able to drive to the dock is a hugh plus because the hill, while pretty to look at, is steeper than it looks. The kitchen has everything you need and the living room is cozy with very nice furniture. I loved the TV streaming, which is not something I have at home! The basement has fun stuff for the kids and i played my first game of checkers on the game table downstairs. I lost, but it brought back childhood memories! The fire pit was a perfect way to end the evening. My husband fished everyday and loved it! We would definitely rent from Ruth again and again! Also very private and the neighborhood seemed to watch out for each other.
Incredible view while staying at this house! Has its own boat slip. The owner was so nice and considerate. She made sure we had no problems and the hospitality was so welcoming!!! We didn’t want to leave. This house has 2nd story balcony overlooking the lake - where we had coffee every morning. The lower level opens to an incredible deck/patio fire pit area also overlooking the lake. There is a paved road so you can drive down to the boat with all your stuff. Some people walked the hill back to the house but after boating all day I chose to drive back up. So easy and convenient. Would highly recommend and plan to stay there again!
Everything was so nice & the view was so beautiful. My family had a amazing time.
Very nice property. Easy access. Nice view. Comfortable and functional. Fishing was good and the dock allows easy access and convenience to boat and lake locations. This is our second visit and owners continue to maintain and improve the property.
Nice, very clean and neat. Great views
Fishing was great, weather was good. No complaints!
Was awesome
Great place with great owner. Highly recommended
The second time staying here and continues to exceed our expectations. Enjoyed the updates since our last visit. The lake view is awesome day or night (what a sunset)! The property is tucked away on a quiet no-outlet road which was incredibly peaceful. Judy is a wonderful host, responsive before and during the stay. The house was very clean, stocked and comfortable. Loved the dock area, which was great for our PWC’s. The public boat ramp is conveniently minutes away. We highly recommend this home for fun, relaxation and great memories. It was hard to leave, can’t wait to return! Thanks Judy!!
The house was in good condition. We stayed there last year and there has been some improvements that made the place even better. The owner contacted us multiple times just to make sure everything was good. Was good to know that she cared about us. Hope to stay there again.
We enjoyed our stay here very much. The house was nice and an absolutely amazing location. It was well stocked with supplies. The dock worked perfectly for our 27 ft boat. The homeowner was very caring and gave us all kinds of information about where to eat and local places to see.
We plan a vacation every summer on the water. Fun for the kids and selfishly retirement scouting for the wife and I. We loved this spot on Lake Kentucky. We were just a few short minutes from everything we needed and my kids had a blast. The host was extremely responsive and cordial. Lake Kentucky and this area of this house has quickly risen to the top of the list for the day we retire. Highly recommend check this spot out!
Property is as described and the host was very helpful and attentive to our needs. The hill from the dock to the house is a workout, however, the view from the decks makes it worth it. Great area for a relaxing family vacation!
We enjoyed our stay at this rustic cozy lake home. The view was amazing!! We enjoyed boating all week. The local ramp and tge dock at the house made it easy to access the lake.
We really enjoyed staying at this place. Judy the owner was phenomenal to deal with. Easy access to the dock. Very clean home. Lots of space. Deck was huge. Great location. Anyone who stays here needs to check out Fast Eddie’s restaurant down the street across from Dollar General. The best food. Overall very impressed with stay we had. Thanks Judy. You’re the best!
Renting the house was very easy. Judy, the owner was friedly and very nice. No complaints whatsoever except maybe a couple of very hot days. But we were comfortable in the AC.
This lake house was amazing for our family of five. There was plenty of space and comfortable furnishings. The views are breath taking, the dock was perfect, and evening fires outside provided us all we needed. The BEST thing about the place was how clean it was! I have high expectations when it comes to cleanliness and this house met all of them! Highly recommend this house to all. We will be back for sure!
