Delightful Experience/Amazing Property!

Our stay at Kate's house was nothing short of spectacular! The interior is so thoughtfully designed and we had fun picking our favorite bedrooms. There was more than enough space for 10 of us and we felt right at home the moment we walked in. As warm and inviting as the inside is, what also really sets the house apart are the outdoor amenities. There is an awesome firepit area in the backyard, elevated deck with seating, and a beautiful lake right behind the house. We all loved walking the trail, listening to the birds, and seeing all the pretty wildflowers. It was so peaceful. Kate was such a gracious host too. She checked on us and offered ideas for other things to do near Williamstown. The house and property were just perfect and we will absolutely be returning for future visits.

About the host

Hosted by Kate Bliss

Host profile image
I'm a full time Federal employee, but I love sharing our beautiful home with new friends.

Why they chose this property

I fell in LOVE with the lake behind our home. Whenever I feel stressed, a walk around the lake instantly relaxes me. You can fish for sunfish and bass in it too!

What makes this property unique

My family and friends helped me decorate this home. We put a lot of time and effort into make it beautiful, cozy and comfortable for people wanting to explore Kentucky. We are very proud of it and hope you love it!
