Loved the view!

This is a nice little house and is as advertised. Very comfortable and cozy. The view is stunning. It has everything you need in the kitchen. Very quiet neighborhood. Loved our coffee in the morning on the deck. In the evening it was perfect to grill out and enjoy a glass of wine. The outdoor firepit is a bonus. It is rustic but nice and the owner left some wood for us as well. We really enjoyed the warmth and crackle of the fire while looking out over the lake and the lights on the rolling hills. The owners were easy to work with and communication was great. We appreciate that we were able to check in early. We’d highly recommend this house.

Wonderful Lake View But Disappointing Accommodations

The outdoor space was nice and had a great lake view however the house was so musty even after we tried Lysol and candles we could only stay one night of the two we booked. Your shoes stuck to the kitchen and dining area sheet flooring and the carpet and furniture in the living room was very dated and stained. Also the TV was a challenge to operate.

Beautiful views and peaceful family getaway

My mother, sister, and I stayed here to celebrate Thanksgiving and we were all very happy with our choice. The owners are very nice and responsive, the beds were comfortable, the shower worked well, and new refrigerator and stove made our thanksgiving meal easy to prepare. Even better was the view from the table on the covered deck where we ate our dinner! Ample parking as well as good wifi. Beautiful views of Lake Cumberland and Pitman Creek as well as a lovely experience with the house has us hoping to come back soon!

Beautiful view

We enjoyed our stay very much. The house was clean and comfortable. The patio and view was beautiful. It rained while we were there so the covered patio was great. The kitchen worked really well for us. It had everything we needed. Only negative is that mattresses were old and could use replacement..

Best of 3 VRBO summer rentals so far

Very clean rental, owners responsive and easy to work with. Main plus is the house is small size, which is hard to find for a couple or small group. 2 BDRM, one bath and sleep sofa. We are a boating couple so always looking for small size lake properties since giving up camping. Deck view really nice in mornings or evenings. Part of deck covered from heat of sun or rain. We will definitely consider renting here again. Be sure to check out local attractions and parks too.

Very nice house with a superb view!

We had a really wonderful stay here! The house was spacious with comfortable beds and seating, tasteful decor, and a small but well designed kitchen. The neighborhood was very peaceful and inviting - very close to Burnside and Somerset, but set back about a half mile from the main road so no city noise. All this was great, but one thing really stood out... ...the deck! The view from the rear deck is AMAZING! It overlooks a fairly active part of Lake Cumberland so you'll see plenty of boats and jet skis, and has an awesome view of Burnside's *Houseboat Capital of the World Bridge* which was icing on the cake. Really couldn't ask for a better view, and the deck had a lot of various styles of chairs which made it extra comfy to spend time out there. We really have nothing bad to say about our stay. It was great, the price was right and the owners were delightful to communicate with. Thanks for the great mini-vacation! PS - Sorry about leaving a few things in the fridge - completely forgot about that til we were home! Wups!

Needs updating.

When we stayed there updates were needed. There is no tv, Just Ruko. Most of the time it did not work. I would suggest having the modem in the living room for better coverage. The bed on the main room is hard as a rock, we couldn’t even sleep on it. Also in the room with two beds, the sheets were huge and would not stay on. The back deck had a beautiful views. However The rails on the desk were very lose and their are huge spaces between the wood. This would not be safe for young.

Little house with a great view

The house was small but perfect for the four of us and two small dogs. It had everything we needed for a six day relaxing vacation. the house was clean as were the linen and towels provided. The kitchen, also clean, had what we needed to prepare meals. We brought our own grill utensils because my father is a grill snob. The deck is a perfect spot to watch the sun rise. One thing to keep in mind is the internet is painfully weak. When I was online with my graduate coursework, nobody else could get on. Streaming had a lot of buffering. Bring DVD's for the evening movie and popcorn. I felt comfortable contacting Jim and Clara at any time. They responded quickly. Even gave us a couple of good ideas for short day trips.

Some important cleaning needed done,

when we walked we we sighed. It was dimly lite,low watt bulbs in all lamps and dining room overhead light. Kitchen had better light. Bath appeared clean. Kitchen was not clean! Cabinets were sticky. Oven was crusty,I ran the self clean option. Micro was ok. Dishwasher had dried food on silverware basket. I ran an empty cycle through it to remove the yuck. Main complaint was how cold it was. It was never over 65 inside in the evening and sometimes 70 inside in the day. It was chilly,windy,and rainy out so made the space cooler. The deck was the saving grace, beautiful view of the River,marina and lake houses. Furniture was to soft. One Queen bed felt right to our bodies out of 4 beds available. Glad I brought sweats.

Beautiful area, house needs work

The view is beautiful. I think they need to hire a new property manager and/or cleaning service. When we arrived there were no bath towels, hand towels or kitchen towels to be found. There was 1/2 roll of toilet paper in the bathroom and no extra supply. The bathroom mirror had come off the wall and instead of repairing it they simply set it on the back of the sink and it was way too low. I called the manager for the home, he honestly sounded like he had already begun celebrating the weekend. I asked if we could get some bath towels and toilet paper. He said that was the cleaning lady's job and he would call her. When we returned from dinner toilet paper and paper towels had been delivered, still no bath towels. I searched through every closet and finally found a bin with a couple of wash cloths and one bath towel stuck back in the corner of a shelf. It also would have been nice to have a notebook available explaining the tv, area attractions or restaurants etc which we are used to having in all the other homes we've rented through VRBO. I do not plan to rent this house again

About the host

Hosted by Jim and Clara Hilgefort

We have this single home overlooking Lake Cumberland and 2 homes in Hilton Head overlooking the beach and ocean. We have been renting our home at Lake Cumberland for almost 15 years. We make some improvement almost every year. It was a full time residence when we bought it and we've only improved it. We live in Northern KY close to downtown Cincinnati.

Why they chose this property

We grew up going to Lake Cumberland and camped. We learned to ski there. We have owned our home since 1988. We love the view and comforts of our year around home while still enjoying sitting around a campfire. It has given us many wonderful memories.

What makes this property unique

Differentiating Home Features
