Great Place for A Bourbon Trail tour

We had 10 people and for 10 there was plenty of room. Property met with our expectations completely!! It advertises up to 29…not sure how comfortable it would be for a group larger than 12. Nice outdoor firepit area and the kitchen facilities enabled us to have group meals nightly. Rate was quite reasonable for the entire home.

Great Cabin in the Country

Our family really enjoyed staying at the cabin after my mom's service. There were 13 of us and it was just right with plenty seating, lots of kitchen dishes, pans, bathroom towels and supplies. Lots of games for entire family to enjoy and had smores at the fire pit. The owners were very kind and have done a great job of upkeep on the cabin. Three of our grandkids got to see snow for the first time. Praying our family gets to return to stay in this cabin again.

Wonderful Getaway for Our Group

There was a group of 12 Ladies from the Class of 1967 High School. We get together every Fall and have for several years. This location was great for us. We did have a small problem with the bridge being out and had to detour to get there, but once there everything was great. Plenty of room for parking and playing games. Thanks for the stay and we will surely look to stay here again..

Peaceful retreat - great place to get together

Wonderful large cabin - plenty of seating for dining, space to move around, indoor and outdoor areas to enjoy, and activities for the family. 3 bedrooms with doors that close, pull-out beds and futons in every nook and cranny, and tons of room for roll-away beds. Not a lot of privacy, but I stayed with close family, so it wasn't a problem for us.

A lovely (and huge) home to get away from it all

We loved the property, it was the perfect country stopover for our group on a road trip which featured lots of cities. Whilst we were a little worried that our son would find it a bit too quiet he said it was his favourite place of our whole trip.
