This is a lovely property & we thoroughly enjoyed our stay. The cabin was well stocked with everything we needed & was very clean. The multi-layer deck with eating, lounging, & hot tub areas was awesome, and the dock is perfect - very roomy for both fishing & lounging so that the whole family could be together. We are looking forward to our next visit!

The cabin is delightful. We loved sitting on the porch watching the many different birds. It is clean and well equipped. There is no WiFi and poor cell service. Which was not problem for us, but be aware.We would stay again

We booked the cabin for a short weekend getaway and it was just what we were looking for. The property was clean and as described/pictured. We spent most of our time on the large back deck (our favorite part of the property) just enjoying the view and visiting. Close to Paducah if you want to do some shopping or hit some wineries. Over all perfect and would stay here again.

We had such a beautiful time visiting this cabin. It was very quiet, clean, and had all kitchenware necessary to cook on site. We brought our pup on her very first cabin retreat with us and she floated around the lake! We woke up early every morning for the most peaceful and beautiful lake sunrises. We will definitely be returning.

We celebrated my husband's 70th birthday here and it was relaxing. Our favorite part was the screened in porch where we spent most of our time looking out at the lake. However the furniture out there was just not very comfortable for folks our age. Would stay again but will bring our own lawn chairs.

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.

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.
