Lovely River House

We enjoyed our stay here. The house is comfortable and tastefully decorated. Quiet neighborhood. My husband and daughter had a blast fishing. They caught and released at least a dozen catfish a piece. The walk down to the river pier is steep. Not something someone with mobility issues could do. We would stay again.

Could not park motorhome on property. Could not get to precise of road due to accident

We could not park our motorhome on the property due to trees and a one lane road to get to the property and then could not even get a car to the property because of a jackknife truck accident. The host was very kind to refund our money but we still have not gotten the rest of our money from VRBO. I will not ever book again with VRBO. They have not refunded us after weeks of asking.

Family vacation

Getting up and down to the lake was EXHAUSTING. It is across the road and down a long, steep hill. We also found a rat king that almost made me leave. That is a group of mice whose tails get tangled, and they eventually die in a ball. This thing was obviously there awhile. Other than that it was great. We were there for the ark and creation museum. We weren’t at the house much. It had what we needed when we were there but I felt the need to clean everything after seeing signs of rodents.

Country Stay

We choose the Boyer Family cabin because we were taking our grandchildren to see the Ark. Not wanting to stay in a hotel with a pre-teen and a teenager. This was the perfect place. everyone had their own bed and there are 2 bathrooms. Although having use of a washer and dryer, would have been great.

Nice view of the lake

We enjoyed our stay but were surpised that there was such a slope to go from the cottage down to the dock. We are older and getting back up that last bit of hill to the street was an effort. Some stone steps might be a great addition! The indoor fireplace was very nice. The house was comfortable. The steps to the second floor are a bit steep. The kitchen is well equipped.

Peaceful and relaxing

Just what we needed to relax (great view)and we even did a visit to The Ark which was a nice treat. I was a little freaked out with the hills and crazy roads but I'm not a country girl so I was unprepared. The owner was super nice and we had no issues ( except me learning to park on a hill :) We will visit again in the future.

Warm and cozy place for our family to stay for my niece's wedding. The kids really enjoyed the dock and the open space to play, even though it was rather chilly for us Californians. Overall, the lake house provided perfect views and atmosphere for our Kentucky visit!

Was a perfect tucked away place. Easy to access the main freeway and not to far away from certain things we were planning on doing/seeing. The Cabin was clean and well kept. Would definitely stay here again, or recommend to anyone looking for a place in that area

A beautiful retreat

Our family of 7 absolutely loved our stay at the lake house! It was tastefully furnished with many special touches including super comfy deck furniture, string lights, and an awesome fire table. The view was breathtaking, and we enjoyed the fire ring one evening beside the lake. We're so happy we found this hidden gem! Our only regret is that we didn't have enough time there since we visited the Creation and Ark museums. We highly recommend this beautiful place!
