Perfect place, close to the Ark and Creation Museum
This was our second time staying at this cabin and it was just as magical as the first time. It has everything you need and is in a super cute spot with groceries and anything you are missing within a short driving distance. The extra touches make it a cozy place to stay and very cute at the same time. We came with a total of 6 of us and were quite comfortable yet again. We have made this our annual anniversary trip to see the Ark and stay here, see you next year!

Great place to stay!!!
Beautiful cabin that is quiet. Even the sheets are organic cotton and so are the quilts. It makes a difference. We went to the Ark Encounter and to the Creation Museum. I liked the hills to walk for a good exercise. It isn't right on the lake but a quick walk to the lake. I think you need a boat to fish it good but there isn't a spot there to put in a boat. It is still good though! My husband is the one that wanted to fish. I like doing the walking. Beautiful wood cabin!!

Could have been better!!
The cabin was nice! The location was deceiving. We had to buy toilet paper, paper towels and trash bags. Was doing some laundry and the dryer quit working! The biggest problem was the lock on the front door, one time we couldn’t get it to lock when we were going out and then we couldn’t get back in. Had to wait for the manager to call us back and finally we got the code for the basement door so we were able to get in. Not the perfect vacation!!

couple of hiccups that should be addressed. The first problem was keyless front door lock. It was totally useless. We had to use the side door. The second would be access to the side door. There should be a gate to gain access to the side doors.

My family and I stayed here over the weekend while we visited The Ark Encounter and Creation Museum. The cabin was very clean, comfortable, and homey! We will definitely recommend this place to anyone who will be in the area and will stay here again if we go back.

Very clean, very nice.
Not really what you want if you're looking to spend time on the water as there is no shared or public lake access close to the cabin. If you want it for a base as you explore the area for things to do, then it's perfect. The cabin is very nice, everything works and it has all the things you would need. The wifi is adequate and it works well for a family or two couples. One bed/bath on main floor and 1 queen, 2 twins and a bath in the loft.

We really enjoyed this adorable cabin while we visited the ark, creation museum, and Air Force museum (a bit of a drive but well worth it!). This cabin was well stocked, very clean, and had nice little extras like kids shampoo/bubble bath and toys. Also had a good supply of coffee and games!

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay. Cabin is clean, well appointed, quiet neighborhood. Beds comfortable, kitchen well stocked, nice bathrooms etc. Highly recommend. Only issue we had was getting the WiFi password, as our cell service was hit or miss. Owner should post the password somewhere.

Beautiful cabin
Great place for vacationing families. The loft is ideal for children and guests without mobility issues. The main level bedroom is better for anyone with mobility issues. It's not soundproof however so you will be able to hear the souls of walking and talking upstairs. Hilly area with some one lane roads. So be careful driving. Drive slowly 20mph around the cabin. The lake is downhill so if you walk down to the common access area is a step uphill walk back to the cabin IMO. Beds were comfortable. TVs are there that you can use with your own streaming services like Netflix etc. Wifi worked well. Well equipped kitchen, but no dining table. Four chairs at the countertop for meals. Pots and pans, cutlery, glasses, towels provided. But take your own extra toilet paper and supplies that you might need. Fenced in front yard is great for kids to play in. There's a fire pit and wood a short walk downhill. We didn't use it but did sit around it. The wraparound deck has table and 4 chairs for sitting. We did have some issues but overall it was a great stay. We went to the Ark and creation museum for 3 days. The drive is not too bad to the Ark. 45 minutes to the creation museum. It took some getting used to the hilly narrow roads. The cabin itself is beautiful. Lots of wood and beautifully decorated. We enjoyed our time in Kentucky.

Beautiful cabin slight door issue
We really enjoyed our stay at your cabin! Our only issue was in the middle of the night the door started saying there was an error like someone was trying to open it from the outside but they weren't. They usually happened around 1:00 a.m. and went to about 3 or 3:30 a.m. once we open the door and shut it and wiggle the door knob a couple of times it usually stopped. But prior to going to bed we made sure that the door was fully shut. Just some feedback for future visitors. Otherwise it was an amazing vacation!

Adorable cabin
We enjoyed spending time in this adorable cabin where our granddaughters played in the loft and made s’mores at the fire pit. The cabin also had a robins nest above the deck that housed 3 baby birds. Our granddaughters watched them and listened for their squawking when momma bird came to feed them. We enjoyed every minute!

The host was lovely and communicative, especially with a minor issue that we had. The property is a bit awkward for more than one couple. Plenty of upstairs beds for young ones or a second couple BUT the area is entirely open AND very loud with creaking wood flooring. The property is definitely not appropriate for mobility-challenged guests. Again, all of this is fine, as long as you aren't needing a different setup. Door lock is a bit tricky for first use; hit the checkmark and listen for chimes as you enter EACH number, then hit the checkmark at the end. It's easier once you know! The interior space is difficult for more than 1 couple; there is 4-person in-line counter seating. No table area to play games, etc. If you have more than 4, they will be eating on the couch. Should you plan to watch TV or an evening movie, then seating for 4 will be shared on large dual-recliner couch at a bad angle.... but you're probably here for the Bourbon Trail (or Creation Museum) or, to enjoy the beautiful outdoors. The location is on a (mostly) single lane, paved access that is ~1 mile off of the main road. Pretty area but be sure to drive 20 mph speed limit to not upset the many cottages in the area. You are ~15 minutes from restaurants, shopping, etc. We did not experience mosquitoes. However, you are in a rural area though, so, expect ants, spiders, insects. You might want to pack some anti-itch if you or your guests are bothered by the uninvited guests.

Chose this property because of how close it was to the Ark Encounter and Creation museum. It was quiet and we would stay there again if we were coming back to that area of Kentucky.

Loved not being in town but it was also very close to restaurants and shopping. It was also very close to the Ark, and that was our main reason for visiting the area. First time I have rented a place to stay at, and had a great experience. Thank you Jen.
