We enjoyed our stay in the lake house. It was spacious with a large desk overlooking the yard with deer, squirrels, and lots of birds. Beds and other facilities were great!

Our family enjoyed our time at this property. The renovations to the house were great and, while it was slightly smaller than we'd envisioned, it worked well. Plenty of towels, toilet paper, cleaning supplies, etc. where most homes do not offer these amenities.
The host was responsive and helpful. I loved that the property was pet-friendly!
The grounds and dock need attention. It is a large property, so plenty of space for dogs and children to play and explore. The deck spindles do not go all the way to the deck floor so small children and dogs could be injured or fall through. The dock does not have stairs, and a portion of the bumper was not attached; exposing nails. We were able to swim and fish safely despite that. The fire pit was great for s'mores but someone had burned cabinets and there were nails/screws and hinges in the dirt on one side. Again, we could safely use the firepit by keeping pets and people away from the side with the hazards. I brought safety issues to the host's attention; she was responsive and seemed willing to address them for future guests.
The cove itself is beautiful and very peaceful - not much boat traffic and we enjoyed floating on the water and kayaking.
The driveway is incredibly steep and I recommend checking your brakes before arriving - mountain-grade incline for certain. We could get up and down - we have four-wheel drive vehicles and the pavement was dry.
If the issues mentioned are addressed, I will stay again!
Great location!

The house is cute but outdated, lots of unfinshed projects going on. Definitely not cleaned to "having guest" standards. Heck, there a half eaten loaf of bread or something on the mantle that had definitely been there a while. We went on a grocery run the first night, then woke up to find mouse droppings all over the counters and floors the next morning. Mice running around all night getting into everything. Outdoor shower didnt work. One entire day of our vacation, two men spent there with us running cables for internet. Lots of boards need replaced on the sidewalk to the dock. I was expecting much nicer for the price I paid. Very disappointed, contacted the host about the outdoor shower and mice, was told to use the hose and they'd try to get the mice after we checked out.

Our family stayed here for a week and had a great time! The property had everything we needed plus more! We enjoyed fishing down at the rock just about every day and we loved the small jon boat and kayaks! The house itself was great and provided plenty of beds for the whole family and the kitchen was equipped with everything we needed for the week! Thanks for a great stay and would definitely recommend to anyone looking to get away for a while!

It was awesome and secluded. We enjoyed it there and would use it again. Having the boat dock was great I didn’t have to pull my boat in and out all weekend. Thank you.

We really enjoyed our stay. We saw deer every day along with other wildlife. The house is away from others so you have privacy. The driveway is a little scary but you get used to it. I would stay here again.

My wife and our pups enjoyed our stay at the lake house. We hiked in the state parks and spent some time fishing from pier.
Thanks for letting our family share your lakefront property!

The inside of the house was perfect, had everything we needed. The smoke detector upstairs needed a battery, which we did not have, chirped our entire stay and had to be silenced twice a day. It would have been nice if the deck furniture had been cleaned before our arrival. None of the deck furniture could be used until cleaned. This was our second time staying and would consider staying longer if the outdoor areas were better kept up. The grill drip tray was left on the deck full of
grease along with candles turned upside down on the table which had melted all over the table. There were multiple broken boards on the walkway to the dock.

Clean House, Had all the cooking utensils, nice coffee maker, Kitchen was in great shape, No Smells at all, Water Pressure was great and Hot Showers, Lake was really beautiful and bay area was really calm, Boat Dock has power to charge any tiller motors, kayaks worked great, there is space near road for parking trailers, 1st time down the driveway was a littler nervous but you get used to it. Enough room for more than 2 cars ( I even backed our 12' Cargo Trailer down the driveway ), Area was nice and only 10 min away from Gas Station or Dollar Generals, Really Quiet area, Would stay here again.

Had a nice quiet stay on the lake. Saw three deer each morning. Caught a bunch of fish down on the lake. Peaceful and relaxing.

We enjoyed our stay at the lake house, our daytrips to land between the lakes and fishing at a near by boat ramp. While the dock at the lake house is mostly out of the water due to winter pool, it was still lovely to walk down and be next to the lake. In the spring and summer the fishing is probably spectacular.

We spent the weekend for our anniversary. Had a great time at the nice peaceful setting. We fished, enjoyed the outdoors, enjoyed the surrounding areas. We also ate at Willow Pond which was recommended and it was the best catfish I've ever had!! Overall a great weekend just wish we had more time. And the driveway is kinds fun !

We so enjoyed our stay at this location. It is located in a great area. The wooded grounds, fire pit, dock and outdoor lighting was beautiful. Cabin was very cozy with everything you needed. Thank you for a great visit. (Husband recommends a new grill).

We had a great time. We lucked out and the weather was in the mid 70s/low 80s for our two nights in late June, so we spent the majority of our time out on the big deck. The interior was perfect for our group of four adults. It kind of felt like being on a space ship going up that driveway. LOL

The Mrs and I stayed with our children and dog! The dog was in heaven with all the room to run, the rest of us are pretty much now professional fisherman since we slayed all the fish, everything from sunfish to crappie and catfish! The property is in a perfect location for silence and to be with the family for that much needed bonding time. Now on to the drive way I read so much about, the first time we approached the drive way we took a deep breath and held on however it’s really not that bad, but a suggestion would get a trail cam and aim it right at the start of the steep part and catch the faces that are made on the first time going down!!!!! Overall we had a blast and wish we could’ve stayed longer.

The house is in a beautiful location at the back of a quiet cove. The property is very private. The house is clean and in great shape. The owner was up front about some renovation that is almost completed on the upstairs bathroom which posed no issues for us. The driveway is steep as advertised but it was easy to navigate. Highly recommend this property and would love to return in the summer.

Make sure you are prepared for the steep driveway. If you just want to get away from everyone and relax this place is great.

It was a beautiful location. Very quiet, unless you count the wildlife sounds. Squirrels and birds were plentiful and even had some deer come through the yard. They weren't kidding about the driveway, but we made it. Thanks for a great time!

Great Lake Location
Kayaks are awesome. Can paddle out about mid-way into the cove and swim, float, relax. We only did it our last day and regret not doing it everyday. We kayaked every day though which was fun. Property is some distance from neighbors. Distanced from neighbors, very secluded home. Overall, great stay.
Firewood for the fire pit can be bought down at Handy Korner. It's a little further than Molloy's Korner but not more than 10-15m.

Lucky lake house
Steep driveway but worth Boeing closer to the lake. Loved everything about it and enjoyed boating on the lake. People in the are are very friendly and the experience was fantastic

Very secluded
I think this is a really cool place. I loved the nature setting. No shortage of deer sitings for sure. It is a sloped property with lots of stairs though. There isnt a main floor entry for anyone that can’t climb stairs so be advised.

If i can get time off next summer we will return. Being able to have out dog stay with us is very important he had a blast.

Cleanliness and maintenance lacking
We enjoyed having the space to be with family. It was a good location with good fishing. I do wish the home would have been in better repair-a good amount of shower mold in upstairs shower as well as heavy leaking onto floor, stove handle missing, lot of dirt behind plexiglas wall cover at kitchen sink, bathroom floors with leftover hair from last renters, floors and floor vents very dirty, musty air in house, and outside furniture molded and dirty.

Summer Vacation!
We chose to stay here because it was close to my husband's grandparents and we wanted to visit with them AND have a fun vacation with his parents and siblings.
The house was perfect! We loved having breakfast (and other meals) on the deck!! We brought our dog and he has an amazing time too! The house being situated down the hill (the driveway is comically steep but our sedan didn't scrape once) without close neighbors enabled us to have our dog off leash and worry less about him running off when chasing an animal, there was time/space to get his attention back if that makes sense. The yard/meadow was a blast to play fetch intoo! And morning walks down to the private boat dock were so peaceful - just know you will be having a calf workout with each trip down and back from the dock - lol. We were able to rent a boat for a day and a half and fully make use of the private dock!
We are already thinking of next summer!!

Loved everything
We arrived late due to my son's baseball tournament and I will say that the driveway was a surprise, but we have encountered driveways such as Pamela's before. If you inch it down you will be fine. I have a BMW that sits very low and I didn't scrape anything, my husband, who is a bit impatient, did hit his bumper a bit. I think we would have done better if we had arrived in daylight because we had no issues for the rest of the week.
The house is very nice and has everything you can think of, so we packed really light (literally one suitcase for two people and small bags for each of the kids). Pamela informed me ahead of time that the house sleeps 8 but it might be tight, we had no problems whatsoever.
We seem to have come just at the right time because we were the only people on the cove and it was so quiet. We had a buck walk right up to us, we saw tons of wildlife (even armadillos, and I had no clue they had them in KY). There is a corner store not far from the house, but there are stores in Eddyville and a Walmart in Princeton. The lake was beautiful and warm like bathwater, I could have floated there looking at the trees and wildlife all day long. The boat and kayaks were awesome. I understand that some people experience things differently and have different expectations, we on the other side are really adaptable and I enjoyed the long walkway to the lake and the outdoor shower was amazing. The only thing I would have liked is a ladder into the lake, but that is me, who is not very sporty if you get what I mean.
We loved our stay so much, that we are contemplating coming back in the fall. Thank you to Pamela for opening her house to us.

From the beginning when my car bottomed out at end of driveway
No swimming due to debris in water and shore line, in need of a lot of repair, not very clean, missing wall plate on outlet, free standing large mirror standing on floor in bedroom closet, very unsafe, mold in shower and washer, railing going upstairs was very wobbly, stairs were steep and narrow, concrete walk to docks was very steep and slippery.

Perfect getaway
House just as pictured. Easy walk to water. Steep driveway but we had no issues. Pamela was very accessible when we had questions. Thanks.
