Wonderful place to get away!
This was a wonderfully peaceful place to get away and celebrate our wedding anniversary! The cabin gets an A+ for cleanliness. Both the cabin and the grounds (including the huge "backyard") were all very well-maintained. The cabin decor is beautifully rustic . We had planned to eat nearly all of our meals there, and the kitchen definitely did not disappoint! We brought food along so the full-size refrigerator was great. And the kitchen had just what we needed for cooking and serving meals--stove with oven, microwave, etc. We loved that there were no ticking clocks to disturb when we chose to just sit, read, talk, or savor the silence. And the chairs on the back deck were the perfect place to "drink in" the quiet sounds of nature, or gaze at the starlit night sky. The hosts were quick to respond when we communicated in making our reservation and in the weeks prior to our trip. During our stay, we didn't have anything come up that found us needing to contact Rick and Joyce. When we texted them that we were finishing "checking out" of the cabin, they responded immediately. Doubtless, they would have been available, had we needed anything during our stay. Frankly, we thought it just wonderful that our hosts never interrupted our time at the cabin! We would suggest you plan on a 40-minute drive from the cabin if you're going to anywhere in downtown Paducah. Not at all a problem for us... we wanted to be "away from it all" and this place fit the bill perfectly! Thanks!

Hidden Gem
The listing doesn’t do it justice! If you’re looking for a quiet, beautiful getaway this is the place. This is the true cabin in the woods, with all the comforts you want or need. The cozy inside, the back porch with the hot tub overlooking the large meadow, fire pit and pond will insure a memorable stay that will have you planning your next trip back. Can’t wait to do it again.

Remote Retreat
The property is beautiful, the cabin was very clean and the perfect size for my wife and and to enjoy. The back deck overlooking the pond is a fantastic place to enjoy reading a book, watching the wildlife, or soaking on the hot tub. The location was more remote than I expected. The nearest gas station was 20 minutes away, but there is a Dollar General within 10 minutes. We would definitely return to this cabin.

Weekend Get Away Gift
My sister and I rented this property for our parents as a gift. They love the laid back lifestyle so we knew this would be a place they would feel right at home. They enjoyed fishing, cooking out, drinking wine, spotting wildlife including deer on the property and traveling around the area. Made me a bit jealous that I wasn't there myself. :)

Great quick getaway
We have visited the cabin before and loved it. We found ourselves with a couple of days before life got really busy again and decided to check if it was open and surprisingly it was! So glad we made the trip. I rarely find a place I can totally relax but this cabin is one of those places. If you are thinking of staying here do it!!
