Perfect place for fishing and swimming in the lake.

We are fishing and fun people. We caught over 100 keeper fish and threw back as many smalls and rough fish as we kept during a week's stay. The young kids lived on the rock beach jumping off of the dock, floating on rafts and kayaking in the cove. Adults enjoyed the same and even kayaked to other coves on the lake. The campfires in the evenings were special. The nighttime dark helicopter training and the flyovers during the day out on the lake was a bonus we will not forget. The deck and view were awesome and since the weather was beautiful, we spent a lot of our time out there. The house and apartment were great and we simply had a memorable time enjoying fishing, family, and play at this beautiful spot on Kentucky Lake.

Awesome Location! Cute House!

This was a great property with amazing views. It was exactly as described. The shoreline around the property and the dock is perfect for fishing. We had six adults and six kids and they all had a blast! Everyone had a place to sleep and plenty of room. The bonus guest house was truly a bonus. The location was one of our favorites out of many rentals and the owners were quick to respond and fantastic! Highly recommend!

Spring Fling 2024

Everything was great. Only one complaint, we were on a fishing trip and there was no electricity at the boat docks. We had to pull our boats out from a boat ramp seven miles away to recharge the batteries and relaunched the next morning having to travel seven miles. Otherwise, the house and grounds were great.

Nice Lake House

The property was nice as it was right on the lake, had a nice dock, Kayaks and deck overlooking the lake. Property also had a seperate 1 bd 1 ba apartment which was great. The 2nd Living Room with bathroom were on the lower level and could be accessed through what seemed like a closet door or sliding glass doors from the lake side outside but seemed very detached from the upstairs. Would have been perfect for kids or a seperate party area, we just didnt use it. Overall cleanliness could have been better, both sofas on the first floor had food and candy wrappers under them, ceiling fans had caked on dirt, some provided towels were fraying. Having said all of this, I would stay here again for the value. Owner was Super responsive and answered all of our questions quickly.

Beautiful & Spacious Home Right on the Lake

This home, along with the additional apartment, provided a great deal of space for our group. We spent a lot of time outdoors, eating, playing games, & relaxing on the the very nice & spacious deck, which overlooks beautiful Kentucky Lake. Our friends brought their ski boat & it was great to have our own dock. We also enjoyed swimming right off of the dock. Note that the path down to the lake & dock are rather steep, & could be challenging for some adults & small children. Kristin was a pleasure to deal with & quick to respond with our questions & concerns. We enjoyed our stay & would definitely recommend staying at this home.

Family Reunion

What a great find! Tucked away on the Kentucky Lake, these two homes were everything you could ask for. Kitchen was well stocked and when a storm came thru in the afternoon the whole house generator saved the day. Owners communication was awesome. The docks are wonderful for fishing, swimming and just enjoying the view. Highly recommend!

Beautiful property!

The location of the home and property, including having a dock to fish from and keep our small boat was perfect! We had some small hiccups with the house, fridge wouldn't get cold enough first day for food and everything had to be moved to guest house fridge until the main house fridge got cold and one of the toilets would not flush completely. All of the beds were uncomfortable. The pots and pans are old and need updated, and for the amount of food we cooked for our group, we had to make do with what was there and I had to purchase a soup pot since there wasn't one. House needs some TLC, but again, we made the best of what we had and loved the location/property.

Beautiful Property & Great Management

All three generations of our extended family loved this location. The lake view was unbeatable and the lodgings were very nice. There were plenty of places to gather inside and out. We made good use of the kayaks and loved swimming in the private cove. The deck was perfect for grilling and birdwatching. We saved money by cooking and found the main kitchen pretty well equipped. Kristin was very easy to work with and highly responsive. We would love to go back some time.

Family memories.

We came here to go to Patti’s Settlement as a memory of my late husband. Upon arrival we found apartment was not clean yet.? No fault of the cleaner. You renters before us left a mess. But we surely did not and I hope you go after them. Respect goes a long way.. but all in all we enjoyed our stay. But the outside trash cans were so full we had to leave our trash inside so rodents would not tear it up. Sorry!

Family vacation

The house was very well stocked with kitchen items. Unfortunately the house was not very clean when we checked in. There was an unflushed toilet, the hand soap containers watered down with a sack of new hand soap just left on the floor. The deck was very big and much enjoyed but it also was not very clean with bugs all over the doors and windows. The kids loved jumping off the dock and swimming and using the kayaks. We also took advantage of the fire pit. There was no sheets for the sofa bed in the apartment and didn’t reliable it until everyone had gone to bed. All in all, we had a great time. Thank you.

Great Place

This house was awesome. It was clean. It had everything we needed from towels and sheets to pans and utensils. Any question I asked was answered immediately. The cove was awesome for swimming and the dock was so nice. It is a little ways from any type of store or gas station, so it worked out perfect we brought everything we would need and didn’t have to run out for anything. I highly recommend renting this property. I would absolutely rent again.
