    “We loved our stay. The pickleball/ basketball court was a huge hit with our family. The theater room was so fun. It fit our big family perfectly. There was so much to do. The beds were comfortable and cozy. The view was beautiful. Highly recommend this stay for any large family gatherings.”

    “We had an amazing stay at this beautiful home—it was the perfect getaway for both adults and kids. The house is spacious, well-stocked, and packed with activities, from games and outdoor spaces to plenty of room to relax and unwind. The setting is absolutely stunning, with peaceful views that made mornings and evenings especially memorable. Fishing off the dock was a highlight for our group—fun, easy to access, and great for all skill levels. It truly felt like there was something for everyone, and we’d absolutely come back again! The basketball court, football toss, slides, theater room, etc., were just perfect for spending our Mother's Day weekend enjoying our large family. The house comfortably slept 20 adults/children with room for more. We will definitely plan more family gatherings, as it was centrally located for our families spread across eastern/central KY.”

    “I booked this home for an overnight retreat for college student leaders, and they absolutely loved it. They raved about the amenities, including the movie theatre, basketball court, rock climbing wall, lake, and outdoor activities. We also loved the two full kitchens, dozens of bedrooms with a variety of sleeping arrangements, and multiple bathrooms. This home is perfect for a company or organization retreat, and I expect we will book it again in the future.”
