First the owner Jordan is outstanding! The house is lovely. Very clean. View is beautiful of lake. Close enough to fishing and town for convenience but in quiet neighborhood. We have a few mobility issues and house was perfect for us. Nice getaway from Cincinnati without being too far. Hope to return.

Family reunion

We stayed here three nights and the setting is beautiful. It had all that we needed and was conveniently located close to where our “main house” meals and activities were. Plenty of room to accommodate more than just our 5. Jordan was very easy to communicate with and timely with codes and instructions.

Labor Day Getaway

The property was in such a great location and the sunset views were so lovely, a perfect way to wind down the day. Everything in the house was very well appointed, even down to the nice silverware which was such a nice treat. The back deck was amazing and the eight of us enjoyed the space every night, and it might sound silly but the screens on the doors were a perfect touch for our dogs to be able to come in and out without letting the bugs in. The inside of the house was very clean, it was only the deck outside that need to be swept and furniture that needed to be cleaned off before using them, but that certainly didn't detract from our enjoyment and time at the property. Overall it was great, and we would recommend staying here and have talked about coming back again!

Weekend getaway with friends

We had a great weekend with friends and our families. The property was easy to access and all of our teens enjoyed the basement bunk beds, large TV’s, karaoke machine and pool table. The adults enjoyed the easy to use kitchen and outdoor deck for relaxing. Perfect for families / groups. Lots of bedrooms and easy to spread out. We went to the Pulaski County Park for kayaking (just 10 min down the road). Rented from Kumberland kayaks. Communication with host was fantastic! A great weekend!
