Quick Getaway

We did just a small getaway with family from out of town. We live in Dawson Springs and planned a different trip then usually. We normally go ti Gatlinburg, but decided to stay close since our youngest daughter starts Varsity cheer practice today, and wanted to try a new spot closer to home. We truly enjoyed ourselves.

This home was perfect for our yearly family getaway. We had kids ranging from 0-10, each family had their own space. We loved the lakeview. Only downfall was most things to do were 35mins or more away.

This property is AMAZING!! Quite, private road, perfect view of the lake, the 2nd patio was my place to be in the morning. The sunrise was breathtaking, even seen a shooting star! The bedrooms....there is so much room!! Definitely coming back with my entire family for a longer time to enjoy the house and all it has to offer. A weekend isn't long enough!!

Summer Family Vacation

This cabin was everything advertised and so much more. Our family had one of the best vacations ever. So much of what we needed was already supplied, everything was clean, in working order and decorated so nice. We would definitely come back again.

Wonderful cabin and room for the entire crew!

This home is so comfy and inviting. It rained the entire time we were there, but the cabin is so spacious with amazing covered decks and plenty of games and indoor activities that we all thoroughly enjoyed our stay. We will definitely be back in better weather to take advantage of the lake!

Beautiful Lake House

We will definitely be returning to this house in the years to come! The lake access wasn’t available unless you wanted to sink in mud because since there has been so much flooding, the lake had risen up so far up the property to where you really couldn’t find the path. But there is plenty of other places to fish and enjoy the water. Nolan Dam is cool. The house is very very well stocked with everything from dog toys, kids toys. Games, kitchen appliances and the kitchen is more stocked than any Airbnb I’ve ever been to. Beautiful views from the awesome decks and patio! Cell service is sketchy so I would advise you to have all your information on getting into the house without having to log into the VRBO app. We had issues with the WiFi but after contacting the host and resetting the router, it was great! The host is very accommodating and is quick to respond to calls or messages!

Family Get Away

This was a perfect spot for our multi-generational family. We ranged in age from 2 to 70 and everyone had a great time. We all enjoyed the game room and the outside spaces. The trail to the lake was a little difficult for us older folk, but we all made it and enjoyed the view from the shore! A couple of the adults took out a canoe and loved it. The kitchen was very well stocked with all we needed to cook all of our meals. Lots of towels came in handy. We all hope to visit again soon - especially to enjoy the lake and local attractions.

Great short time vacation

We had a great family time for 3 days at this house. Plenty of rooms on 3 levels, good space for family with little kids and seniors as well. Spectacular and calming view of the lake from front porch. A little inconvenient that you have to drive 18 min to public beach and 25 min to the marina, however we did both trips. I would not recommend to spend driving time for beach , rather spend the time on the boat (rent advance!) .One of the good points that you allowed to bring a couple of dogs!

Nice but Misleading

Overall nice house, great location. We had a big group and the trip was fun. Overall, the family fun was a success. However, we had some disappointments. Some listing details were misleading for parts that were important to our group such as the bed options, fire pit, the corn hole pit, and televisions. Description and pictures showed a daybed/trundle that we planned to use and it was not there. The fire pit was pictured clean and furnished with plastic seating only for us to arrive with there being broken, mossy fabric chairs that could not be used. The “professional” corn hole pit was dirty with missing furniture and a broken fire table. It was advertised to have TVs in every bedroom, however, the living room TV was the only one that truly worked being attached to satellite. The other TVs had out-of-date smart devices that could not do any streaming. 1 TV didn’t even have a power cord for the wall. The house was not ready for us when we arrived; we had to make 3 of the twin size beds and finish the towels that were left in the washer and dryer.

Quiet Kentucky home

The Bee Spring Cottage we stayed at was very tidy, comfortable, well stocked and perfect for our large 7 person family. The property was in a quiet friendly neighborhood. Home was very pet friendly for our large dog. I would happily recommend this rental to family and friends. My kids are already asking to visit again. It was roughly a 40 min drive to Mammoth caves, and 20 min from Nolin State park and Dam. So many beautiful and historic destinations can be accessed from this rental. We really enjoyed staying here! And the hosts were so quick to communicate. 10 out of 10 stars!

Lake weekend

Great lake house! Friends and I enjoyed the multiple porches, hot tub, proximity to Mammoth Cave, as well as rented a boat nearby on Nolin Lake for the day. The house had a well-stocked kitchen, plenty of linens and room for all of us. We did not bring the kiddos or pets but the property would've accommodated both with toys/games/DVDs available, a dog door and mini dog yard. Some carpenter bees making home on the upperdeck posts, but otherwise pest-free. Could also use some new seating around the firepit.

Lake House property

Overall nice house, great location. Listing details somewhat mis-leading as the house is not truly lakefront. The biggest disappointment however was the lack of working hot tub. We were never able to use it during our entire stay and a hot tub was among the top 3-criteria when searching for a rental. Very Very disappointing!

Nice lake house

We had an issue with checking in. The housekeeper was running late and pushed back our check in while part of our group was already there. This was resolved by the fantastic host, but it is an inconvenience and something to be aware of. There were a few other minor issues, but for the most part the house was great and as advertised. The views from the deck are superb and the hot tub is adequate.

Great house and amenities

The house was absolutely wonderful. The sleeping arrangements were as described and the owners had everything you might need. The hot tub and fire pit were awesome to have and use. I do feel it’s important to know that there is absolutely no water access to renters. There is a dock that owners can use, but there is signage that does not allow renters to even walk on the dock, swim off of or put a canoe or kayak in. It was hard for us with young kids to not allow them to walk out there or get in the water even though no one was around. For this reason, we would not stay again despite the great house and accommodations.
