Cabin in heaven
This was the most peaceful, beautiful, and quiet setting I have ever been to! The lake was really nice. The water was so clear. The cabin was very comfortable and had everything we needed. This was one of my top vacations all because of the wonderful stay at banjo bungalow. The owner was very quick to answer my text. We will definitely stay there again.

Getaway
We wanted a quite, secluded getaway and this was exactly what we wanted. The cabin is nice and clean, kitchen has everything you need to cook and prepare food. The lake is beautiful and clean, sitting at the fire pit was so relaxing, we will definitely be going back in the future.

We stayed across the water in a Julie’s bigger home. This one fit us perfectly. We were allowed to bring our dogs and they enjoyed it all the space was great. Husband love takeout the most to finish. The deer were everywhere. We love the outdoors so it’s perfect as I said for us.

Beautiful property
The property was amazing! Very secluded and serene! The cabin is just that, a cabin. There is no indoor heating, just space heaters and a gas fireplace without ventilation. The first night we got there late and it was freezing. After texting with Julie I was told there is not a heater but to use the space heaters and fireplace. The space heaters would have taken long so we used the fireplace but the fumes were so bad we ended up getting sick and leaving a day early. Also the cabin was pretty dirty: cobwebs, dead bugs inside the cupboards, dirty dishes put away. The bed and couch are a bit rough too. If you are looking to go to a place and mostly be outdoors, this place is sufficient! I would only suggest it during the cold season

Nice quiet cozy cabin
I recently enjoyed staying at a beautiful cabin for a weekend getaway. The location was serene and peaceful, surrounded by nature and wildlife. The cabin was cozy and comfortable, with all the amenities needed for a relaxing stay. The kitchen was well-stocked with cooking supplies, and the living room had a lovely fireplace that kept us warm during the chilly nights. The beds were comfortable and provided a good night's sleep. The highlight of the cabin was the firepit that overlooked a pond. Overall, I highly recommend this cabin for anyone looking for a peaceful and comfortable retreat in nature.

Peaceful home base
The Banjo Bungalow was a peaceful home base for a bluegrass festival at The Caverns. It was a 45-minute drive each way but the setting was worth it. The cabin had all we needed and was clean — just could use a little updating. The front porch was a perfect spot for my husband to play banjo. Hope to return when we have time to enjoy other amenities.

We absolutely loved it here! Very private, peaceful, and had everything we needed. It’s a little piece of heaven! We also asked if we could stay later on Sunday, owner replied right away and we were able to enjoy the sun for a few hours longer!
