The guys loved this unit. Especially with the lake being right there!!

We enjoyed the house. It was very clean, comfortable, and provided everything you could pretty need plus some. The propert itself seemed like much of it was brand new. We had previously stayed in pirate's cove the year prior and this property was much larger and nicer than the property we rented previously. We were disappointed to find that the community had decided to block off access to the public beach and fishing area and that the community pool wasn't open for the majority of our stay. The more permanent residents of the area did not seem to welcome those not from the area. The rental process and manager was great and so was the property.

Very clean! Great location. Only negative is that the beds are hard in all 3 bedrooms. They desperately need some good mattress pads.

The house was exceptionally clean and well stocked. We loved the location. It was absolutely perfect for our short visit. We hope to return in the future!

The only think i disliked about the property was it was in a trailer park and there were some run down trailers right in our back door. No where on the listing does it say it location is in a trailer park.

Very nice home, clean and well maintained. Quiet neighborhood. Screened in porch was awesome. Beds have very firm matresses. We prefer a softer matress. We didn"t get a good nights sleep and ended up with stiff backs and necks. This is a personal preference. If you like firm matresses, this is a great option.

8.0
House was very clean and had been completely updated and pleasantly decorated. It was the most fully stocked place I've ever stayed at. Anything and everything you needed was there. The advertisement pic didn't show that it was surrounded by several other properties in very close proximity that weren't near as nice as this property. It was also farther from the lake than the pictures showed. Over all we had a great time visiting with each other and since it rained most of the time we didn't spend much time outdoors anyway.
10.0
We had a nice stay at this property in Hardin. The description online was accurate. The host had a welcome basket of treats for us upon arrival! The weather was chilly so we did not get a chance to enjoy the covered porch, but it did have a nice view! We were in Kentucky to do some hiking and catch a Murray State football game. It was a great location for both!

Had a great stay at Caroline's Dream. Kevin and Regina were awesome hosts. Everything was clean and the amenities and snacks were great.

This is our second time to rent this property and it is spectacular! We could not say enough good things about this stay. Great communication with the owner.
10.0
We enjoyed our stay, thoroughly! My only complaint would be that the mattresses could be more comfortable. We didn't the days on the lake boating with the pontoon we rented from Kenlake marina. The marina was a pleasure to work with. The hosts of this home were a little Shakey with communication. I was told that we would receive check in information before the date of our trip and I had to request it the day of our arrival when we were on our way. They got the info to me quickly and we had no problem checking in. The home was quite comfy. The air conditioning and the hot water worked great! Five adults spent a rainy day on the water and we arrived "home" wet and chilly. There were no issues with all of us taking back to back showers. The hot water stayed strong! The patio is where I spent most of my time at the house. The lake view is unbeatable and the screened porch kept us bug free... Even when dining outside. The kitchen is well equipped, however, the birthday person we were celebrating has siliac disease so we brought most of our own spices and cookware. I want to go back with my husband and 4 kids (ages 1 to 15). I highly recommend this home! Thank you hosts!

Relaxing trip

Great getaway
We had a great time. Things we wanted to do were close by. The host had everything we could have wanted there and was accommodating. Will for sure stay again and recommend
My only disappointment was the pool hours and the being closed on Wednesday; however, that was not a reflection on our host.

Happy Birthday Granny
This property was near the lake and provided convenient access to Murray where we had our family get together. It was clean, well appointed, and had plenty of room. The rocking chairs on the screened-in porch were a hit. Thanks Kevin and Regina.

October 2021 stay
Property was as described. Clean and comfortable. Our stay was short but would definitely stay again. We were there for Murray State’s family weekend so we did not need the lake or those amenities. The brownies and cinnamon bread left by the owners was delicious and a great treat for when we arrived.
10.0
The most relaxing vacation!!
It started out simple and easy with check-in info sent early. We arrived to a very spacious house with an amazing view of the lake. We were greeted with the most amazing brownies and cinnamon bread. The house was fully stocked with everything we needed. We got to meet our owners who gave us good information about the area as well as where to find the most delicious smoked bologna ever!! The house was clean and very well maintained. Really, it was all just perfect!! We are so appreciative of everything.

Beautiful lakeside get away!
Caroline's Dream is absolutely amazing. Everything was perfect and so clean. Great bedrooms, so comfy! So close to the lake and we even saw a bald eagle by the water. Regina nd Kevin thought of everything we needed and our stay was amazing. Great pool and miniature golf was included. So relaxing, the screened in porch gave us great "bug free" views of the sunset over the lake while we enjoyed grilling. Such a great place for families! Even had homemade browns and cinnamon bread waiting for us when we arrived! Definitely recommend with 5 plus stars! We will be back!

Home away from home
This home was so comfy and homie to stay in. The view was so perfectly beautiful looking out at the lake. It was very clean, and had everything included so we only needed to bring clothes and food! Saying that, we were met with a batch of homemade browines AND a loaf of cinnamon bread on the table at first getting there. The only thing I was not pleased with was the boat slips. It could be a little wider. We had to clean mud to prevent overheating with our boat motor a couple times because there was not enough room to back out without almost hitting the bank and drawing mud up, BUT that has nothing to do with the house. Over all it was a VERY good week and we will definitely look into staying again!

Super clean and spacious house
Property is very new and very clean inside throughout. Parking in covered spots was spacious...was able to have boat in one with truck connected outside. Plenty of bedrooms and bathrooms for the two of us. The Amish bread and brownies provided by owners were AMAZING!! TVs in living room and bedrooms were a nice creature comfort. Communications with owners was very fast and polite. Dock space at marina was really convenient to have. Will definitely stay at this place again on a better fishing week in years to come! Great job to the owners of this property!

Home away from home
It’s like visiting your uncle and ants house with everything you need ready waiting for your stay. Super clean, super cute and the owners are very responsive to any questions we have. Will definitely visit again when we are back to the lake.

Does it have to end?
Granddaughter asked, “ Does it have to end?” Looks just like the description says. Very clean, well stocked with all the necessities. Excellent communication with owners.
Hope to go back.

What an awesome property!
When we arrived, we realized we had found a little Paradise with a view of the lake. Absolutely gorgeous inside and out! Full accommodations for a couple or for the whole family. The owners truly thought of everything a person could need. Not to mention we had sweets waiting for us upon arrival. I would stay here often and I definitely reccomend it as a home away from home rental.

Home away from home
Our stay at Caroline’s Dream was just like home! We were welcomed to a beautiful home that was clean and very inviting. The amazing brownies and zucchini lemon bread was just an example of how thoughtful Kevin and Regina are as Hosts. Even though the weather didn’t cooperate for boating, we were able to keep our little and big guys entertained with the games, toys and movies. We will definitely be back!

We loved Caroline’s Dream!
We had 2 families traveling together from Texas for our sons to fish in the National Bassmaster High School Tournament and we all wanted to stay together. This property was perfect for our week long stay. We loved having the deck to relax on in the evenings. The property was clean and spacious. We used the marina to launch for practice and enjoyed exploring the entire neighborhood. The owners are very accommodating and responsive. We will definitely consider coming back to Caroline’s Dream if we come back to Kentucky Lake.

Clean & Comfortable; Friendly & Responsive
We are a couple from Texas, & met long time friends at Caroline's Dream for 4 days. Regina left delicious baked goodies on the kitchen table that lasted the whole time! She also gave us a personal tour of the resort area on her golf cart. She & Kevin are very friendly and responsive, and made our stay enjoyable. The neighbors are also friendly. We used the marina, spent time on the lakes & took long walks around the resort neighborhood, including the private landing strip! We enjoyed our stay greatly!
