Road Closed to Access Property
We were really looking forward to this trip! Bought groceries to last us the entire stay as well as bringing our kayak for the river. However when we got to the last turn for Hwy 68 which is the ONLY ROAD TO THE PROPERTY, it said road closed for 15 miles. We still attempted to turn on the road and about 1 mile later we had to turn around due to a bulldozer blocking the entire road. We drove back into their "town" because there was no cell service....called the owner and explained we could not get to the cabin. Unfortunately, we were never able to access the property.

Great cabin
We loved our stay at this cabin. We liked the remote location, however we are glad we brought our truck. We were shocked about how fully stocked the cabin was. They had everything that you would need. We would definitely stay here again.

Mother Daughter Trip
My mom and I came from California to stay in Kentucky for a week. We wanted a quiet place near Lexington and horse farms after attending the Kentucky Derby to spend time together relaxing, doing puzzles, playing games, watching movies and sitting on the back porch with a cup of coffee or a glass wine. It was absolutely perfect for everything we wanted! The house was well stocked, had lots of games, puzzles, and movies, and was perfectly situated in a quiet, scenic area close to several little towns and not far from Lexington. We loved watching wildlife near the river and the deer in the yard. If we didn’t live so far away we’d come back again! Hopefully we can plan another stay here in the future!

It's a Great Little Hideaway and Fun!
Cute, secluded and cozy. We stayed during the winter months, and it was really fun. I bet in the summer it's really scenic. The river and cliffs are right there. There's a bunch to do around Lexington if you've never been there. Check out Frankfort too as it has some very interesting old homes.

Cozy & Relaxing little house in the woods
Nice small house nestled in between trees and a lime stone cliff overlooking the KY river. Very steep backyard; not easily accessible to the river. We went elsewhere for fishing. The two kayaks on the property were laying on the ground next to the house. They were not covered/protected and had a green slime/film (not alge) inside, so we did not use them. Very steep gravel driveway entering the property. Luckily enough we had a truck and no problem going up or down. Nice fire pit in the yard (we had to bring our own wood). Large gas grill on the back deck/patio worked well. We had relaxing mornings sipping on coffee outside looking at the river. Good water pressure and temperature in house. The queen size bed was a little older and not as comfy as we had hoped. No problems cooking on the little electric stove. It was very helpful having a washing/dryer in the house. The electric heating wall unit and baseboard heaters worked well. We were expecting a Keurig coffee maker as noted in the property description and brought K-cups with us; however, one was not found. Instead, a small regular glass coffee pot maker was provided. There were plenty of cooking utensils, pots/pans, dishes along with a variety of other kitchen items provided. Overall, we had a very pleasant stay and experience!
