House was great and served what we needed it to. Access to the lake and dock is tricky from the house but not many homes on the lake with access. Would stay again!

Peaceful

Quiet waterfront property. Bring your own sharp knives, or a sharpener! Trails nearby, but some gave dogs ticks (even though they are medicated). Luckily the stores nearby had a comb to get them off. Host was really fast at communicating. We plan on going back!

great location, great time, BUT

the place is great, the lady who manages is cool, but they lock the A/C on the upstairs but not downstairs... to pay this kind of money and have to ask permission to turn the A/C on or off is ridiculous. location and the lake is gorgeous, however sweating all night trying to sleep and then asking permission is more than I can deal with ever again.

Quiet and Comfortable

The property was a great place to stay. It is centrally located to Mammoth Caves, Bowling Green and historical sites. It is only about an hour north of Nashville, which made for easy visits. If you want to be comfortable and relax, this is the place to be. The deck provides a great place to unwind after taking a day trip to local attractions.

Wondering location & place to gather with friends

Wonderful location - we visited both Bowling Green & Mammoth Cave and is about 30-40 minutes from each! Beautiful views of the lake, nice to have two living spaces and a kitchen that was easy to cook in! A great place to spend a couple of days even in November!

Beautiful location on the lake (though a little bit of a walk down to the lake- wear shoes). Great communication with management. Loved having the the 2 levels/kitchens to give plenty of space for everyone.

Lake Getaway

We wanted a relaxing house on the lake for a family getaway. Our grandsons loved the bunk room and the adults loved the spacious and comfortable bedrooms. The kayaks, canoes and dock were an added treat just down from the house. The large deck was relaxing with a view of the lake. Overall, we were very happy with our stay. It does need a new cook stove.

Very please with the property and our stay. Very well looked after property and great communications with mgr. Our only issue was how spartan the kitchen pantry was regarding basics. Salt, spices, coffee, oils, seasonings, etc. We look forward to coming back. Thanks

Comfortable and worked for us

Comfortable house, more open plan living/dining/kitchen area. Had to message the owner to get entry code for house. Kitchen functional but a little patchy -- e.g, many pots, but one small colander/strainer, 2 crock pots, but few bowls. Nice, newer fridge, older electric stove. Definitely one to bring your own knives and kitchen tools. Lower level bunks are actually futons for the bottom, which meant that those sleeping on them had to contend with bar running through the middle of the futon (and since they're attached to the frame, unable to pull off the mattress to make it more comfortable). The instruction to keep the ceiling fans on (it was very humid and rainy during our stay) also made getting into the top bunks rather dicey. Since the lake was at record heights, we didn't use the docks. Having to rent the canoe/kayak from the owner discouraged us from using them since free ones were available at other houses that our party were staying at. Otherwise a functional house.
