This is a beautiful place to relax and enjoy the lakeview. It is nicely decorated, with a well equipped kitchen. Four women stayed there comfortably. My granddaughters loved the luxurious shower snd the free kayaks. I loved just sitting on the deck, and looking at the peaceful water. Though I live less than an hour away, it was a real vacation for me. We will definitely be back. Granny of Cold Spring,Ky.
This place is the perfect location with a large porch overlooking a lake. The view, including the wildlife, trees, etc., is a wonderful escape from all of the noise and busy pace of the city.
Lake house was clean and cozy. Supplied with things that you didn't realize that you forgot. Very peaceful and quiet. Right on the lake, which had great fishing. While fishing one night, three beavers swam right past me. Saw otters playing twice. Just a quiet, peaceful, great fishing place.
This was a wonderful quiet get away! The driveway to get in was a bit tricky, but doable. Nice clean cabin. Lots of extra blankets, pillows , and towels.
We enjoyed our stay in the lake house. It was clean and the perfect amount of space for us and our two children. The lake was beautiful and we enjoyed fishing and kayaking. Host's were very responsive.
Great time. House was hidden with some good fishing and easy living. Thank you

This was one of my favorite stays away from home. The place was full of rustic charm and hospitality while providing a beautiful scenery, a relaxing atmosphere, and fun and adventure right in your own front yard. A great little getaway, and yet close to many day trip adventures. This questionnaire may have only received 4/5 stars due to the questions asked, but my actual stay receives 5/5 stars… it was just what we needed!
Comfy cottage. Secluded setting with very little activity on the lake. Close enough to towns if you want to go out for a meal or pickup a few things. Only left the cottage 3 times in a week long stay as kayaking, fishing, campfires, and porch-sitting were exactly what we all needed.
We were pleased with the privacy, how you provided map of the lake and easy access to kayaks. The huge yard with lots of seating was a plus, I was able to watch grandson roam and explore. Chris had good communication and available by phone. The Bonus was the early check-in, this is a selling point. No waiting around when your family is ready to rest. Thank you Chris and we'll see you again.EARLY check-in was the BONUS
We had a great time!! Listing is 100% accurate! Clean and cozy! Beautiful location! Plenty of dock space for fishing and we loved that the cabin came with kayaks! My daughter fell in love with the chess set, now I have to find one just like it to purchase 😆 We would definitely book this cabin again in the future.
We enjoyed our stay. We spent most of our time on the porch looking at the lake and watching wildlife. It was very relaxing and peaceful. The cabin is old but overall has been well maintained. The gravel road getting to the cabin could be tricky for low profile cars. We had a truck and had no issues.
We enjoyed our stay. The lake was very nice and peaceful. It was great having the kayaks available to use and enough for everyone in our family of 5. The house was small and a little older but was clean and cozy. We loved the porch and spent a lot of time there or kayaking. I personally could have used a little more cook wear in the kitchen, but we primarily cook rather than eating out. Overall we would stay here again if in the area.
Landers Lakehouse is a very quiet and peaceful getaway. My only issue was the dog that was always around. We couldn’t eat outside as planned as the dog was always wanting food.
Other then that very peaceful and relaxing.
The boys loved the dock. The husband enjoyed going out back to fish. The wife loved the beautiful view. Even though cabin was small, it worked well for the four of us. Wished there would’ve been a washer & dryer. But the local laundry mat was very nice!! Also wished there would have been extra towels to dry off from being in the lake. Overall, great, relaxing time!!
It was very clean. Very comfortable we absolutely was amazed with the lakehouse. It had everything we was looking for with an amzing price as well. We all enjoyed the lake. Kayaks the row boat swimming and fishing we didnt want to leave . Property owner was quick to respond to all of my messages. I look forward to reserving this space again in the future
We loved the place. Perfect size for 5 people. Beds and pillows were comfortable. Outside is amazing. The lake is so peaceful and beautiful. We loved the kayaks. They were easy to get in and out of the lake. You can see all the stars at night. We made a fire by the lake. We saw all kinds of animals. Lots of bunnies. The neighbor's dog visited and was so playful and friendly. We will definitely be back.
Your cottage was lovely. We enjoyed kayaking and swimming and the quiet vibe of the area. If you are looking for quiet and relaxation- this is the spot for you.
The hill is a little steep, so if you have physical limitations- this may be an issue for you.
The lake bottom is rocky (kids wore crocs and were fine) and gets deep quick (could be an issue for little ones)- but over all, the lake was clean and quiet and so nice not having to deal with big motor boats.
fantastic for a long weekend.
the porch and the view were AMAZING!
