Family Gathering in Bagdad

We stayed at the cabin for a family gathering and had a fantastic time. Wonderful spot for a long weekend with plenty of activities for the kids in our group as well as the adults. Pool table and air hockey inside for the kids, and plenty of grounds to explore outside with hiking, fishing, and a fire pit. We had 7 adults and 5 children and the cabin was the perfect size for our group. Several bedrooms and also one big room with bunk beds that was great for the kids to stay together. Cabin was well stocked and had everything we needed for a long weekend. Good instructions and communication before our stay and when we arrived. We loved our weekend here and hope to do it again sometime soon! Thanks so much!

Bourbon Trail Guys Trip

Great property in beautiful location. It was good for a guys trip to Bourbon country. There was 5 in our group but the house wouldn't hold too many more. The main TV area seats 5 on the couches. The dining table seats 8. Too many bunk beds. Just something to consider when you are bringing a larger group. that being said I would stay here again with a small group.

Peaceful retreat - great place to get together

Wonderful large cabin - plenty of seating for dining, space to move around, indoor and outdoor areas to enjoy, and activities for the family. 3 bedrooms with doors that close, pull-out beds and futons in every nook and cranny, and tons of room for roll-away beds. Not a lot of privacy, but I stayed with close family, so it wasn't a problem for us.

Family Christmas

We stayed here for several days the week between Christmas and New Year’s Day for a family Christmas. We had 22 in our group and we were all very comfortable with lots of room to spread out! We enjoyed the pool table and games in the basement. The cabin was decked out for Christmas with a beautiful live tree. The kitchen was very well stocked with everything we needed! There were also numerous board games to choose from. Some of us also enjoyed fishing in the pond and walking the trails. We made many happy memories here! Thank you!

About the host

Hosted by Mary Gonda-Chandler

My husband and I bought the land for Chandler Ridge in 2003, we began building that fall and by Spring 2005 the lodge was open for guests. We love to travel and have been very blessed to see some of the world so far. I have always wanted a log cabin of my own, but never dreamed of building a retreat facility. I have been in the hospitality business in some form since I was 18 so hosting guests from all over the world was not a big step for me. My husband is a great do it all kinda guy and we have built several things together. By far, the cabin is our favorite and we hope you enjoy it too.

Why they chose this property

This beautiful 20 acres is wonderfully located to experience all Kentucky has to offer. Halfway between Louisville and Lexington and just south of Cincinnati, we are in the ideal spot for seeing all aspectsof the Bluegrass State.

What makes this property unique

The cabin is wonderfully located for guests visiting the Bourbon Trail, The Ark and many more inviting Kentucky area activities. As well as families gathering from the North to the South, it is a great central location.
