10 / 10Outstanding·Jun 2026
This property is great!! It was clean and easy to get in and out. There are cute decorations and helpful notes left by the host. Additional boat parking was helpful. Wi-fi works well. Located mins from Lilly Creek boat launch and Jamestown Marina. Highly suggest getting a burger at Reel Java and their Nobake Cookie bar was amazing. If it’s raining there is a Peddlers Mall in Somerset and one in Campbellsville that are only about 40 mins away. If you get to Somerset try King Buffett if you like Chinese The host is amazing and kept in contact. I would definitely stay here again.

10 / 10Outstanding·May 2026
Host had great communication throughout every step of the experience, which made the entire process incredibly simple and stress free. The cottage and amenities are fantastic. The house rules and expectations from guests are very reasonable and dont put a damper on the trip. Beautiful location in very close proximity to the lake and marina. After a short drive to the Marina, we took a free water taxi ride to the Wheelhouse, a restaurant and bar across the channel where there was great music and a live band. Completely unplanned since we were just checking out the Marina. Rented a Tritoon the following day, had a blast fishing and exploring the Lake. All in all, we had an incredible time and I can't wait to return again with my family. 5 Stars all around!
