Very beautiful, peaceful, and clean cabin! You loose service on the way out, so screenshot your directions. We will definitely come back. The host is incredibly helpful and friendly! He gave us many great local recommendations.

We loved the rustic atmosphere of the cabin, along with the privacy and beauty of the land and pond. It was so nice to have the use of the kayaks, and we enjoyed using them to explore the river.

My wife and I loved it. The Kayaks were a bonus. We kayaked the river and found a waterfall. The property was perfect. The pond was really cool and you can get to the river to fish. Porch swing was also really nice.

Our cabin, the grounds and our hosts were all wonderful. Everything was exactly as you see it in the pictures.We experienced a mishap on our way there. After a 3-hr tow truck ride, we arrived at dark, still needing to figure out dinner. Our hosts showed up with two kinds of homemade soup and a fresh loaf of sourdough bread. It was so thoughtful and appreciated. The next day, we brought them my homemade biscuits and gravy.We were in Kentucky to celebrate an anniversary, a birthday, and the world's greatest bourbon. This location was perfect. We hit distilleries by day and enjoyed home cooked meals and warm campfires each night.If you love rustick seclusion with all the conveniences of home, make your reservation today.

This property was gorgeous! The cabin, the pond with the fountain, the lights on the dock and pavilion, the seating ...everything to help for a relaxing vacation! The view as soon as you pull on to the property helped set the tone for the whole vacation. The cabin was perfect, starting at the front porch where there is ample seating to look out on the wonderful view and to listen to the water and birds, it made my heart so happy! The cabin was tastefully decorated and very clean. Extra toiletries furnished in case we forgot ours. The couch in the cabin was humongous, good for stretching out and taking a nap on. The only way we could leave was to book it for next year Thank you so much for sharing your special place with us!!

Cozy private cabin! We especially loved everything outdoors. The private pond, kayaks, floating dock, and fire pit! The cabin was cozy and had everything we needed. Our daughter attends Asbury University which was a short 15 minute drive from the cabin. We enjoyed getting away in nature and being able to relax and enjoy one another.
