We had a wonderful time! It is truly a beautiful and well-outfitted home in a beautiful setting. Highly recommend!
Everything about our stay was great as we expected with one problem. Bugs. A type of beetle infested the lodge. We would sweep and vacuum them up and next day there would be hundreds of them in every room. They were on the windows, floors, drapes, and even pillows. Unfortunately it freaked some guests out.
The home is large with plenty of space and very well stocked. The view is beautiful and the hot tub is great for large groups. It was our 11th annual girls trip and it was amazing!
The house was so great for our 3 couple friends who we have been friends with since high school (43” years! Lots of room, great privacy! The views from all decks are amazing! Being able to rent the owners pontoon was great, it is a beautiful pontoon and fit 6 of us very comfortably. The hot tub was for sure a plus! Color was awesome! The house could use some maintenance and extra cleaning, but we enjoyed our stay very much and would recommend staying there!
Host was very hospitable. House has lots of room and is well stocked. We all enjoyed our time.
We really enjoyed our stay at the Look-Out Lodge. Randy and Diane had all of the little extras that you hope for in a vacation rental, and even some things we were not expecting. The place was clean, and there was plenty of space for everyone in our group to either gather together or to separate for some solid reading time. We had a great time in a great place!
Beautiful home with beautiful views! Appreciated the holiday decor, as we had our Family Christmas there. Heating system doesn't manage zones well, basement w game room was always too cold. Kitchen could be better stocked, not enough glasses and frying pans were worn out. Cleaning crew needs to do a better job - behind the beds were quite a few months of dead bugs. Had some trouble finding it because Google maps led us to a dead end gravel road on the other side of the lake.
While our 2 families had plenty of room at LOL, we didn’t exactly have a view of Lake Cumberland. Our view was of the muddy lake bottom because apparently the lake is drawn down in the winter. We also were told the week of our stay that we weren’t allowed to use the wood burning fireplace due to the owners allergies. Our main search filters included wood burning fireplace and lake/lake view. The property is a bit dated but well furnished. We enjoyed use of the Blackstone and the hot tub . The owners and property manager were both very responsive when we had problems with streaming the college bowl games. The property owner was also very nice to accommodate a late checkout when I asked for it and answered questions promptly. Overall we had a good stay but would have appreciated knowing before booking that the indoor wood burning fireplace is off limits and there’s no water in the lake since those were 2 of the filters we used while searching.
Lookout Lodge was the perfect setting for our family Thanksgiving vacation. The property is beautiful and the views breathtaking. The house is well-appointed and offered everything needed to prepare and serve a wonderful Thanksgiving feast. All the younger folks enjoyed the trip down the steps to the lake, and although the water level was low, the sights were so unique and something special to behold. The hot tub and fire pit area provided a fun place to enjoy the cool evenings outdoors. Randy, the owner, was responsive and helpful throughout the booking process. If you are looking for a beautiful property in a serene location, this is it!
You won’t be disappointed! This home is beautiful with a gorgeous view. View all the pics. It’ll say it all. Definitely take a trip down the steps to the trails if you’re feeling energized it’s the real deal. Lol.. management was more than accommodating I can’t thank them enough. From our family, “thank you for sharing your beautiful home”
A beautiful, spacious lodge with contemporary furnishings and phenomenal vistas. Even with 8 adults in our group, there was plenty of room for everyone to have their own space. The navigation tips and restaurant recommendations were very helpful and help to make for a very memorable stay. The group is already looking forward to next year!
We had been looking forward to our stay at Look Out Lodge as our first family vacation when the majority of our 11 kids and grandkids could attend and we were thrilled with the outcome. The owner gave us excellent detailed directions for getting to the house from the main road and these were most helpful. Tim, the property manager met us when we arrived, gave us info about the area, and promptly addressed an issue we had later during our stay. Look Out Lodge itself is a huge house with many modern conveniences( Wi-Fi, many tv’s, cable, streaming services, Keurig, air fryer, etc) but is also welcoming and homey with comfortable beds and furniture, and several outdoor furniture sets arranged around the fantastic wrap around decks. And the view of the lake is tremendous during the day, and so relaxing at sunset when you can watch the beautiful colors of the sky unfold and reflect in the water. We took home many wonderful memories from our stay. Thank you for sharing your lovely home with us!
This house is amazing. The views are fantastic as are the amenities. The location is perfect for someone wanting seclusion. Dining and shopping are a quick drive. The host had excellent communication.
Photos of property were very attractive and it seemed to fit our needs for beds, etc. Communication with owner was very quick, pleasant and timely during the rental process. He provided many detailed suggestions for activities in the area. Upon arrival it was as advertised, great views of the lake and lots of room to spread out, comfortable beds, clean and ready for us. Property manager was on site when we arrived and took us around pointing out items to be observant of. (We did recognize some construction was going on-a new patio was in the works and lots of materials were stacked about outside-we didn’t get notice of this construction in advance). However no building activity happened while we were there nor were the materials in our way). We didn’t spend a lot of time outside on the grounds except for enjoying the decks. It was a little more remote than we realized but owner had given us accurate time frames to get to various places. If you are looking for a great place to kick back this is it!
Love the house
The house was huge, with 4 levels, and could not have been more perfect for our family of 12. Each couple had their own room, and plenty of space for the kiddos! The game room on the bottom level was very well appointed, especially for teenagers. The laundry room had 2 washers and 2 dryers! We had everything we needed, except you need to bring your own shampoo, conditioner, and body wash. The kitchens (yes, there are 2) were supplied with all you needed for cooking, and had plenty of kitchen counter space. The views are AMAZING of Cumberland Lake. We recommend the Lookout Lodge to anyone wanting a beautiful peaceful home away from home!
