The only thing that I didnt like was there was no access in front of the house to the water. It was a very nice place though. We stayed to extra days because it was so peaceful and accommodating. We enjoyed our stay

Great cabin right on the lake in a quiet offshoot of the main lake. Private. Cabin is very clean and nice. Endless hot water was a big bonus. Deck is beautiful and inviting with nice view of the lake through the trees. Right near dog creek and wax marina was a big plus. Having paddle board and canoe at the ready was also very nice! Getting it into the water from the property is a daunting task so we took it to dog creek campground to launch, but it’s literally 4 minutes away and excellent access there. Fire area is nice and clean and was setup great. We pretty much took advantage of everything the cabin offers and found nothing wanting. Great experience with the host as well!

Well-appointed cabin for a family up to 5 based on available beds.Picturesque setting with a great firepit for outdoor cooking and s'mores (with marshmallow roasting skewers in the kitchen drawer under the coffee machine!).Challenging water pressure and bathroom accommodations (tub with plastic surround).No practical means of transporting any watercraft down to the lake by hand or foot due to overgrown weeds in front of the cabin or the long and relatively steep and rutted trail to the south. Bring a rooftop rack to drive to the nearest public ramp.Perfect distance to the National Park so you can have a wonderful Kentucky experience.
