The house was accurately pictured and described. Property managers made sure to give a lot of details upon arrival. The house was not super clean and had some cobwebs and dust in places, but it wasn't terrible. Too few dishes and towels/washrags for a place that sleeps 12. An overall great experience and a great little getaway with family!

This was a beautiful cabin. We had 7 people and there was plenty of room. Loved the wood floors upstairs and the kitchen had enough room for people to cook and make themselves a snack. The beds were comfortable and we were ready for our daily excursions after a good nights sleep. Had a lot of fun around the kitchen table playing games and talking about old times. The hot tub was nice and we enjoyed being outside with the nature. The only negatives I would say is that the grill ran out of gas, the porch had several sketchy boards to step over, and there were six women on our trip so more toilet paper in the bathrooms would have been appreciated.

Peaceful relaxing time

We had so much fun. The cabin was really nice. Secluded like we wanted. Saw some deer, wild Turkeys, gray fox, and a goat. No bears. We had group of 9 family members and 2 dogs. Beds were comfortable, air worked good, not enough bath towels but we managed. Washer and dryer. Hot tub was nice. Some days all 3 pools were full. We will definitely be back. We had a wonderful time. Didn't want to leave.

Happy New Year

We had 5 adults for a New Years get away. The cabin was very nice, but could use a few doors for a little more privacy. More set up for a family with kids, the room with bunk beds doesnt have a door to the hall bathroom. Close to Cumberland Falls. We enjoyed New Years eve in Somerset. It was a great area and property management is amazing.

Great Place

The resort is up in the hills and very secluded. Woods surround the house and exactly what we want. The owner is very friendly and so helpful with everything. We especially love the homemade ice cream. I believe we tried all the flavors. It was so delicious. They also have homemade food, and we were very impressed. We canceled our Guthrie's Grill reservation and ate at the resort. It was the correct decision.

Family fun Retreat

I booked this home for my daughter, son in-law, son, daughter in-law, 4 grandchildren and my husband and I. We had plenty of room for all of us. It wasn’t as clean as I expected. We had to clean the floors and bathrooms. We enjoyed the pools. However, there were no public restrooms which we thought was strange. So even though the house wasn’t terribly far, it inconvenient to go back to the restroom.

Holiday weekend

This property served our group well. The set up was great. Beds were comfy and air conditioning worked great for a very hot weekend. The resort is lovely. We felt safe yet our place was very private in a lovely setting and great location in proximity to the Burnside Marina. I do wish it had been cleaner. Floors and dishes and decorative pillows were not clean. We had to ask for more bath towels and wash rags as there were not enough for our group. The very bare minimum was provided in the kitchen and bathrooms which made a lot of packing and stops at the store needed for only a few days.
