Location was spot on and hours was clean and just as said

Family members kept saying how peaceful it was, which is true! We took advantage of the dock and enjoyed spending a lot of time on the lake and pulled up to beaches for the kiddos ; we even boated up to Cypress Springs for dinner one night!
5.0 / 5.0
This cabin is beautiful with room for everyone!. We had 12 people and 1 baby and every got a bed or fold out from the sectional. The personal dock made it very easy to access our boat and the pontoon rental was 2 houses down. This is one of the nicest properties we have stayed at. The only thing I would change is to put mirrors in the bedrooms because even with 2 bathrooms, it seemed like someone was always in there. Definitely 5 stars!

We absolutely loved this little hideaway! We found out in the last month that our brother in law has a rare aggressive form of cancer and although my sister in law and he couldn’t be there we were able to bring the kids up for a getaway and time on the boat. The house was perfect and the special little touches did not go unnoticed. We loved the screened in porch that overlooked the water. Thank you for allowing us to use your place!!

We had a great time this week. The house is as described and is a beautiful home. The house worked great for our family groups of 8 adults and 2 preteen boys. The kayaks and the paddle board were well utilized by our group. This is a beautiful spot and the lake is a great place for a gathering. Our group was also able to find several places to visit within an hours drive, which was very nice. Julie is a great hostess. We hope to be back at some point in the future.

We loved the house, it had everything we would ever want. The only issue we had at all was that the mattresses were very uncomfortable. I actually slept better on the couch. But we are already thinking about booking another few days again this summer.

The house was a perfect stay. Well cleaned, close to a marina, the dock had easy access, and the screen porch was perfect for the rainy mornings. Would love to stay again!

The house was perfect for our needs. We made a large breakfast every morning and had everything we needed. Grilled one night, and again, everything there we could possibly need. Made S’mores at the fire pit with ample seating-and we had a large group. But the highlight for us was the ability to swim right out the back door off the dock. The grandkids were in heaven! They loved the kayaks and paddle board too. Bonus: Everything was clean, fresh flowers and some snacks, proximity to Murray for the nice little farmers market to add veggies to our grilling night meal, travel books throughout the house, and family games. This vacay was one of the best. Kudos to the owners for thinking of it all!

My husband and I along with our best friends (total of 3 couples) stayed here for a weekend away. This was the perfect place to stay! The bedrooms were clean and comfortable. We loved the layout with the large living space and well-organized kitchen. The beds were comfortable, the bathrooms were clean and nice sized, and the screened porch was perfect. Our favorite part was the fire pit with the 6 chairs. We spent the most time chatting around the fire and relaxing. It was excellent for us to catch up and relax with best friends. We did go in the fall and there was NO water within about 30 yards from the dock. The owner explained this well and even doubled checked that we understood that the lake would be low at that time of year. The husbands in the group drove a few minutes away to rent a boat and use the lake where fishing was still available. We could not have been happier with the house, setting, and kindness of the owner.

This was a great property to stay in. The house is well maintained and met our needs for a weekend of laughter, getting caught up and antiquing in upper Tennessee and Kentucky. Julie was very accommodating while making our reservations and took the time out on Saturday morning to explain how to access the UT/Bama game (we could not miss seeing our Vols play!). I know this would be a great place to stay and enjoy the lake. I would love to go back with our boat!

I would recommend this stay to anyone. It was the best air b'n'b I have stayed at. This was extremely clean, stocked well, and the host responded very quickly to any questions I had.

Very clean, organized and furnished home. There is plenty of space outdoors for children to play as well. The location is close by to a couple marinas which made it nice for a boat rental. The lake was lower than we hoped so we were not able to dock our rental for easy access but with the marinas close it worked out well. Julie was very easy to work with and responsive. The basket of snacks and goodies and fresh flowers was a great welcoming touch!

The place was perfect for us and another couple. We rented a pontoon boat from a local place and was able to come and go from the dock. The water was is a little low for a boat but we made it.

This home is great! It had plenty of room for family and friends. Great indoor and outdoor areas like a screened in porch and fire pit area. There is a marina 9 minute drive away and about a 3 minute boat ride back to the house. The host is so nice and very quick to respond! She even had a little note and gift basket when I arrived. Recommend this 100%.

Had a great time!
We had a fabulous stay over the 4th of July weekend! The house was perfect for 4 couples and several singles! With two bedrooms and a bathroom on each side of the house, we had privacy and the two queen beds in the living room was amazing! We enjoyed the screened in deck, and the patio below. The dock was amazing for our boat and jet skis. One very small downside was the no wake cove. It was a long, slow drive past the marina until we could make any wake at all. Not a huge deal, but it did take awhile... :) But the kitchen more than made up for that! It is stocked with everything you need and plenty of dishes! There are lots of towels and a washer and dryer if you need to do any laundry. Overall we had a fabulous time. The little extras are amazing as well. The paddle board, kayaks, corn hole boards, and other outside games were amazing. Thank you so much for all the nice touches to the house including fresh flowers. It was a fabulous weekend!

Amazing Lake House
This amazing lake house is situated on a very quite part of Kentucky Lake with a large floating dock, fire pit, plenty of parking for cars and boat trailers, an screened-in deck, and all the amenities of home. We stayed for an entire week with a total of 6 adults, 2 kids and 1 teenager; the cabin was spacious enough that we never felt crowded. The boat dock was large enough for 2 boats (16 foot and 18 foot) with plenty of room for all the other water toys in the middle (2 kayaks 2 paddle boards, and a variety of pull behind rafts and tubes). The water depth at the dock was about 4 feet, and the entire family had a blast swimming in the lake and jumping off the dock. The cove that the cabin is on was beautiful and not very busy at all, a great body of water for skiing and tubing. The cabin was very clean and well stocked with everything you need. The owners were amazing; answered all of our questions, quick to respond, and help resolve any issue we had. I really can't say enough good things about this cabin and our experience on the lake. We had such a good time and can hopefully get back there soon.
