Great Stay

My husband and I stayed at the cabin for our anniversary. The accomodations were wonderful-check-in was so easy and the house was nice and cool when we arrived-which was a relief in the 90 degree August heat! We enjoyed quiet mornings reading on the front porch and time spent fishing and swimming. Jerome and Rachel have a well stocked cabin and responded quickly to the couple of questions we had during our stay.

Beautiful cabin on the Lake

We had a great time relaxing inside, in the hot tub and walking around the lake. It's a wonderful place to stay. Nearby we enjoyed food in Paducah, the great trails for MTBing and hiking in the Land Between the Lakes, and just had to waste time seeing the World's Tallest Superman. Good times for sure.

Great, out of the way, get away

We could not have been happier with our stay. The cabin was fantastic. The lake was relaxing. We all enjoyed hanging out, kayaking, swimming, fishing, grilling, playing cards, etc! Our only issue was we all agreed 2 full days was not enough.

Wonderful stay

The only reason I did not get five stars, for the accuracy of listing is because I did not feel the water was swimmable, and that was the whole reason we booked there. There was just a lot of moss or lily pads and way too many turtles for my likings. We had trouble with hornets, but other than the normal unpreventable outdoor things, the home itself was beautifully placed by the lake, very clean, and the host were very responsive!

Disconnecting to Reconnect

Relaxing weekend away from the chaos of every day life. We enjoyed the lake views from the screened in porch and from the hot tub. The home is very comfortable and well equipped. The only thing I wished we had done was bring firewood to enjoy a fire in the pit down by the lake.

Excellent!

Hubby and I and our furbaby had an awesome time! The views from the dock were spectacular and very relaxing. It was nice to get away and unplug and not worry about work related things. Fishing was great and just being on the deck listening to the sounds of nature was so soothing. Everything was as advertised in the listing and then some. Very impressed with the entire experience. We will definitely be back!

Serenity with a gorgeous view

We had such a great time. Sitting on the dock and fishing all day. We caught Blue Gill,catfish, small mouth bass and some turtles...lol. At night we grilled out and retreated back inside the beautiful lake house which had all the comforts of home. Take some DVD's with you when you visit. There's no cable TV so having the movies to watch was nice. We definitely rate our stay with 5 stars. Thanks for allowing us to really unplug and get the much needed rest and relaxation!

Amazing stay!

Loved this little cabin on the lake from the moment we drove up. Pics do not do justice. Quiet, picturesque, clean, cozy, I could go on! My kids loved the variety of wildlife from the little fish, frogs and turtles and tadpoles to the geese and heron all right out the back porch. Sunsets and sunrises were beautiful over the lake. Forgot our fishing poles but would bet there is some great fishing to be had. Nice touches were the array of games, the washer and dryer, and sound machines in both bedrooms. And of course, the hot tub! Probably the best maintained/cleanest hot tub I’ve ever been in with a very relaxing setting!!! My son is already asking when we are going back! So many things to do close by. All the following within 40 min driving - Fern Cliffe State park is a must, breathtaking trails. Eat breakfast at Longhorn cafe before your day and you won’t be disappointed! Enjoyed Garden of the Gods and Burden Falls as well, stopped for great ice cream at Garden of the Gods outpost. River Discovery Center in Paducah is very educational and interactive for kids of all ages. A lot of history! Everyone we encountered was very friendly. All in all such a great trip and we loved having this little piece of heaven for two nights of great family memories!!!

About the host

Hosted by Jerome and Rachel Gabriel

Host profile image
For years, we've been using this area to recharge our family, and we're thrilled to provide the same experience to others that attracted us here. During their stay, we make every effort to be available to our guests to ensure they have an excellent time.

Why they chose this property

At the Retreat Cabin, you can enjoy a truly exceptional getaway experience. The serene lake, stunning scenery, and opportunity to disconnect from the hustle and bustle of daily life are just a few of the reasons why we keep returning to this place. One of our favorite things to do is to sit out on the dock and watch the breathtaking sunset (or sunrise if you're an early riser).

What makes this property unique

Our family's main reason for repeatedly returning to the cabin was the absence of cable TV and internet. This allowed us to avoid the distractions of technology and focus on reconnecting with one another. While some may view this as an inconvenience, we saw it as a valuable opportunity that our family truly needed. It's a chance we wanted to extend to others who seek a place to disconnect from technology and instead prioritize reconnecting with loved ones.
