A great place to get away from it all

The home was exactly as advertised. It was quiet, clean, had plenty of things to keep you entertained from kayaks and canoes to video games and board games. It was a wonderful place to get away from everyday life and enjoy the people around you. I would recommend the home to anyone and I plan on returning!

A Barkley Family Christmas

We had an amazing stay at the lake house! Not only do they keep a beautifully clean home they provide it with everything that you would ever want.Not only are there five beds, but there is also a queen sofa sleeper downstairs in the living room. There is so many more activities than just the ones that they have listed and kept our family more than enough preoccupied. This home is not only good for summer, but was the perfect getaway for a winters break.

This place is remote, which is what we wanted. We brought in plenty of food and water, and enjoyed quiet family time. Really enjoyed the gourmet kitchen and the outdoor grill. We were comfortable and felt safe. We also enjoyed the outdoor fire pit, and the lake views were really nice!

Remote and wonderful

We had a great time here. A quiet cove off the Tennessee River/Kentucky lake. Home was great and just as advertised. No cell service makes it really pleasantly disconnected and strong WiFi at the house gives you just enough connection as you want. Beautiful stars at night, love it as a real get away. Thanks!

Winter weekend getaway

We had such an amazing weekend staying at this property. Not only was the home beautiful but it was extra roomy for 6 adults and 4 children. We stayed entertained even though it was during the winter months with the kayaks, game room and spectacular views. We would definitely recommend this home to anyone!

BEAUTIFUL location and lovely house

This is an amazing location and a really nice, comfortable house to stay in. There were a few hiccups with things but the owner was super responsive and made sure we were comfortable and felt appreciated. Views are wonderful, very private area. Would love to stay in better weather so we could take more advantage of the wonderful lake! It's quite remote, no cell service, but wifi is great and if you just want some alone time it's lovely.

Great getaway

We had to cut our stay short because of weather. There is only one road in and out and it can flood. The house was great, the kitchen had all of the amenities expected. We had one issue while there and Denise arranged to take care of it after we were gone. I do want to say the pictures are kind of misleading. We rented this place because all of the pictures made it look like flat land. It is not...there are major steps down the hillside before you get to the ramp that leads to the boat dock. I am glad my husband (7 hip replacements/revisions) didn't go because he would not have been able to access the boat dock. The other couples got guides for crappie fishing and made their limit all 3 days they fished and we caught a few catfish off of the dock with chicken livers. Great time.

4th of July 2025

We were a 4-family group with a couple of families rotating out throughout the week. The house/grounds were more than accommodating for our large group and the property had plenty to do when we weren't on the lake. The southern approach to the property loses pavement about 4.5 miles from the house. It's a tight, winding gravel road, which can be cumbersome when pulling a 16' trailer or a dual jet ski trailer and come up on oncoming traffic. The northern approach is paved. FYI, the last few hills are intimidatingly steep if you're in a large-nose truck like a GMC or Ram. We had no Verizon or AT&T cell service but there is WiFi and a landline.We packed our Traeger smoker & Blackstone griddle as the house was advertised with a grill. It is not a grill, it's another Blackstone griddle (for those with OCD planning tendencies). There's an icemaker next to the dishwasher, a coffee pot/Keurig combo, 12 bath towels and only 4 steak knives for more planning FYI. There were about 6 sit-in style kayaks to use but not all are seaworthy. One did take on water so stay close to the launch til confident. The inflatable stand-up paddleboard did lose some air but there is a manual pump to refill. That game room was SPECTACULAR! It was our go-to in the evenings and during inclement weather. Dart board, pool table, ping-ping top, tv and plenty of space all around. Now that we have the lay of the land, we would 100% book this VRBO again. Thank you, Denise!
Boat ramp is steep. Lost contact in the front end when it was wet causing it to slide as we backed down the ramp. We had to weigh down the nose.
Inflatable paddleboard is included.
The game room was phenomenal!

Kentucky Lake 2023

The location was beautiful, great access to the water. We celebrated my mother-in-laws 80th birthday. Roads very hilly and curry but to be expected that close to the lake. The yards landscape could use some TLC has some over growth and weeds in the flower beds. The house was beautiful plenty of room to spread out. Watch out for your toes on the raised platform down stairs and remember to turn your cell phone on to allow WI FI calling if you want to be able to make calls.

Great Trip!

This property is tucked back in a bit of a remote location, but it was so nice. There is no cell service, only wifi that your phone can run on. The home was a great place for our family to escape to. We had 8 adults and 5 kids (ages 2-7) with us. The dock was a great set up for us to relax. There is a nice set of stairs that lead you from the house down to the dock. We were thankful that there were stairs and not just a slope we had to climb to get up and down. If you do bring your own boat, the boat ramp that is next to the property is very narrow and very steep. We did not have any issues with getting the boat in and out, but you will need someone to direct whoever is driving the vehicle. The kitchen was large and the dining room table fit our whole group. It was nice that there was a blackstone that we could use with propane provided. The master suite is BEAUTIFUL. The kids loved the bath tub. The game room is a lot of fun, we had a ping pong tournament that helped pass the rainy time. We did see some cob webs on the lights above the island in the kitchen and many dead bugs behind the couch. This property is very nice, there are just some areas that need to be cleaned a little bit more. The host was AMAZING and kept in contact with us and answered whenever we had any questions. We needed two pack and plays and she was able to bring one over from a different property. The blackstone ran out of propane and they delivered us full propane tanks which was appreciated.

Christmas Getaway

Our family from Iowa was looking for a home we could rent with our 2 dogs located not far from Nashville, as our oldest son currently lives there. We were looking for a remote location with a nice view to spend a peaceful family Christmas, and this property completely delivered! I was grateful Denise highly recommended us arriving in daylight. Some of the roads you have to drive on to get there would definitely create some challenges in the dark, but well worth it to be away from the hustle & bustle of city life. As stated in previous reviews, Denise has the home stocked with everything you need other than food & drinks. On that topic, I had confirmed prior to arrival that the home is on well water & purchased bottled water. However, we found the tap water tasted perfectly fine & we drank it all week. The kitchen had everything needed to cook a large Christmas meal, and multiple meals the rest of the week as well. Other than making one Wal Mart run for groceries, we remained on property all week long. We had a wonderful time playing poker, ping pong, corn hole (all provided at the home), and were able to access streaming for movie nights as well. The fire pit was beautiful! Our oldest son did have to work part of the time there, and although the location is so remote, he was able to access WiFi without issue and participate in work calls via internet. This property absolutely met all expectations & I would highly recommend it if you are truly wanting a remote getaway!
