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.

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.

What a nice weekend at the lake! The highlights of this rental are the lake location, the dock and the outdoor areas. The property manager was very responsive and great to work with.

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!

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.

Wonderful place to stay. The only issue we had was the handle on the storm door was broke so we had some trouble getting into the main door. Perfect besides that.

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.

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!

Great property. Could use a little TLC and extra cleaning but overall a great place to stay. Would definitely stay here again. All 3 generations of our family enjoyed our stay. Communication with the property owner was easy, fast, and AMAZING! Definitely recommend this property for a family gathering or friends just wanting to get away.

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.

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.

This was the perfect place to stay right on the water. My family of five and our friends (family of three) stayed here very comfortably. The finished basement was a perfect place for the two teenagers to go amd watch tv at the end of the night and get away from the adults. The layout of the home was spacious and fit our families wonderfully. The home was very clean and had a very well stocked kitchen. The views on the deck were spectacular. We enjoyed boating everyday and loved having our own private dock as well as a great fire pit by the water. Thank you for sharing your home with us! We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at Ky Lake!!

Perfect setting for family trip
This was the perfect place for our family trip. Everyone had space for their own little families. We loved being located on the lake and having access to kayaks and the boat dock. The house was stocked very well with everything we needed

This property was great for our big family vacation. We had a group of 12 (2 of them small kids) there for 5 nights and everyone had plenty of space. Big deck overlooking Kentucky Lake. Great sunrises! Big gas grill on the deck that used almost every day. Boat dock is very nice and covered. We also enjoyed the kayaks that are on the property. Plenty of towels and kitchen had everything needed to cook, eat or drink with. Most important of all, this place was VERY CLEAN and well maintained! We saw several bald eagles while on the lake or even flying by the property. Lake has a ton of small bays surrounded by nature. Pontoon rental was only about 10 minutes away too. We would definitely recommend this place.

We had a wonderful long weekend with family and couldn't have chosen a better place! The cabin was so well appointed; we had everything we needed; all slept comfortably; the kitchen had a great stove and cookware; the dock was perfect for our rented pontoon. But the icing on the cake was the amazing deck! We spent most of our time there, grilling, eating, playing games and enjoying the beautiful lake view! We will definitely be back!

Peaceful relaxation
1st impression place was very peaceful and charming. You are right on the water and can enjoy from house or deck even if you don't go out on water. Side apartment allowed for us ladies to get away from the hustle of the main house but was just steps away. Small alcove off the main lake allowed for calmer water for the kids to kyack. Men were able to come and go off the lake with the dock right there. House well furnished. Would have liked a small microwave in the apartment though. Also struggled frequently with TV reception @ the apartment. Overall very nice experience. Would go there again. Not a lot of restaurants nearby so take food with you (which we did) if you don't want to drive. Great getaway. Renter kept us informed and very easy using the house. Thanks.

High School Championship Fishing Tournament
The house on Kentucky Lake was excellent. It had everything we needed for our time there. The owners were extremely accommodating and helpful. Communication with them was excellent. It was obvious they were willing to make our stay as comfortable and as enjoyable as possible.....and it was. Murray and Paris are both cute little towns that the ladies enjoyed visiting while the guys were on the water each day.
