The host was available and responsive before, during and after our stay. Accommodating, welcoming and a kind host. We were looking for a calm and peaceful place and we found it here. Comfy and clean cabin with a great covered deck that we enjoyed. Wildlife visited us daily.

Small space with large living

Beautiful location, quiet and peaceful. Space is very small but lives well, the patio and dock are great. Master bed is a little firm so plan accordingly. If you have a long vehicle backing down the very steep driveway is recommended.

Perfect Stay

We came to the area for the Ark Encounter and found this place on the lake. Perfect place to stay. The house and dock and everything about it was either new or very well taken care of. Loved the use of the paddle boards and kayaks. Had a great time fishing and relaxing. The lake area was beautiful. Will recommend to friends.

Peaceful Place to Stay

My husband and I stayed at this cabin while visiting The Ark and other attractions in the area. It was perfect for us in every way. Very quiet with a beautiful view of the lake. The cabin was very clean upon arrival. Although we did not do much cooking, it appeared all cooking utensils were provided. Donny was a wonderful host and checked with us every day to see if we needed something. This place is a 👍

Even Better Than Advertised

Our family thoroughly enjoyed our stay here. The house was very clean and cozy and the dock setup is amazing. Our kids really enjoyed swimming off the dock and having fun with the kayaks and paddle board. My wife and enjoyed hanging out and eating meals with the family under the large covered deck that looks out onto the lake. The property owner was very helpful and responsive.

Home Away From Home

We loved our time at Paradise Cove! The cabin is quaint & cozy with everything you need. After exploring all the area attractions each day, we had family time around the fire pit to make s’mores & memories. Donny (host) was fantastic to work with, making sure we had everything we needed during our stay. Paradise Cove is their personal home & you can tell they love it. If we ever find ourselves in the area again, I’m reaching out to Donny to secure our dates! Stay here - you won’t be disappointed!

We appreciated Donny's quick replies to all questions we had & his willingness to share kayaks, etc. & texts of fish that were the "catch of the day" by other guests. The location was ideal to be able to get to the Ark Encounter & then get back to the fun activities at the lake (side note - driveway is very steep). Even though we only stayed a day & a half, my family enjoyed hours fishing (both day & night); listening to the sounds of nature around the lake; & watching the boats out on the main part of the lake. Donny is accurate with the amenities description on the site, but I had overlooked the cottage not having a washer/dryer on site. We were on a long road trip & had been planning on doing laundry at the different properties we stayed at. Most of the other properties we had looked at had them, so I had honestly quit looking specifically for that amenity. We made it work as our KY part of the trip was our 2nd to last stop; just something to consider if that amenity is a "deal breaker" for you (especially if you plan on doing lots of water activities & want to do laundry). I kept the 5/5 as it was not listed & it was my error for not noticing it was not available. Another "feature"/highlight not listed, but that was a wonderful surprise & certainly added to the value of this location (IMO) was being able to see both the sunrise (looking out to the lake from the dock) and the sunset (looking the opposite way from the dock) - lots of photo-ops :)

We, 4 ladies, enjoyed our time not only in the house, but also at the dock, the firepit, and the back porch. Great views, peace and serenity; all the things one needs for a reboot!! Our host was exceptional from prior to scheduling through our visit. Thank you so much Donny
