Thanks for a wonderful stay. The perfect place for our group. This was our second stay and won’t be the last.

Great experience. 5 stars on cleanliness, presentation, safety, and seclusion. Also, the grills were full of propane. I didn’t leave 5 stars because the mattresses on the bunk beds were very thin and you could feel the base of the bunk beds, the pool table rack was broke, the foosball and air hockey table had definitely seen better day, and the gas fireplace was finicky and took a long time to get it to work. Last it’s about 15 minutes from any store. All that said, the master sweet was amazing. I loved it. I would stay again and I would recommend. My criticisms are only constructive for why it wasn’t a 5 star rating. Beautiful place and responsive hosts.

Came up to Kentucky for bourbon trail tours and the Kentucky game.Twelve guys had plenty of space, grilled out, caught and released catfish, all at a reasonable distance from Louisville, Frankfort, and Lexington. Perfect middle spot away in nature.Nice, clean house, beautiful property.

Fantastic location. Went on a golf trip and property was no more than 30 minutes from three golf courses. Host was fantastic at communication. Property was amazing. More than enough room for us (9 people). Property was clean and as described.

Loads of issues. Pull out couch unusable. Pictures made it seem like an extra room. Place was dirty in several areas.

We stayed with a group of 21 (including 7 kids). The home was clean, and the photos are accurate. It’s in a quiet, private location with good access to Frankfort and nearby distilleries. The kitchen had the basics, though the coffee maker was very slow (30 minutes per pot) and the refrigerator is a standard side-by-side—not ideal for a large group.While the listing advertises sleeping space for 29, many of these are cots or beds in open areas. There are only two true bedrooms: a master with a queen bed and broken pull-out sofa, and a basement room with a full bunk. There’s a large bunk room with 9 beds, and the rest of the sleeping areas lack privacy.There are only three bathrooms, one inside the master suite, so expect some coordination with a group. The house may technically sleep 29, but it doesn’t have the infrastructure to support that number comfortably. We’d recommend it for smaller groups (20 or fewer), or for guests who don’t mind shared sleeping arrangements—like a bachelor party.Overall, we had a good family trip, but future guests should be aware of the limitations when planning.

The lodge is beautiful, plenty of room for all of us, and just about everything we needed. It rained about every day, but we did some fishing and deck time in, and it was just a thoroughly enjoyable stay. Thank you, Mary!
