Girl’s Outing
We had the best time for a two night, three day visit at the cabin. It was a wonderful time for three high school classmates. We loved the accommodations, the views and how clean everything was. We talked, we laughed and we even shared a few tears. Thank you for our first outing and we hope to do it again.

Great view
The deck is beautiful. The view is very nice. Although the property is located in a neighborhood, there is a feeling of seclusion on the deck. The television was very easy to use. The owner recommended a pizza from the Sinclair gas station, and it was surprisingly excellent.

Beautiful Spot!
This is an amazing property. The view is breathtaking. Everyone in my family reads to include my 10 year old and the sun room was a perfect spot for it when days got hot allowing perfect view of the water. The bridge is in sight of the property as well which a treat at night when it is lit up. We fished every morning off the bank of the property which was a perfect situation for quiet and relaxing. We will definitely be back.

Great Place to Get Away and Stay
The property is outstanding. Quiet, Peaceful, and have complete access to all that Land Between the Lakes has to offer, just a short 10 minutes drive down the road. Cabin has everything my family needed. WIFI for the teen, a TV for the 9yr old, an all season room with plenty of space for board games and reading in case it rains. Enough beds to sleep 8 or 9 comfortably. And, a huge deck that goes down to the shoreline, probably got the most use during our stay. We fished off the shore mornings and evenings and the kids swam most of the days away. We did rent a pontoon with a slide, from the same owners, which was outstanding and very convenient. The boat rental is literally at the end of the cul-de-sac, 3 or 4 houses down. There were ZERO webs or spiders found inside the Cabin. Thought I should let everyone know seeing a prevous reviewer cried about spider webs on a deck, in the woods, by a lake... who would have thought? We live a short 2 hr drive from the LBL area and will DEFINITELY be renting here again for holiday weekends and/or Turkey Bay OHV area trips. Thank you, Lucas Hale for sharing your wonderful property with us and we look forward to seeing you in the future!

Great family stay
The views were great and the house had most everything needed for cooking and sleeping for a long weekend. We came for a family vacation and really enjoyed the board games provided, especially jenga! Would have liked to know the water access was very steep as I have a young child (a photo would have been helpful) and the stairs are a bit dingy but the house has a lot of character and is very charming. Updates to the mattresses would make a world of difference, the queens were unfortunately uncomfortable. The gym access was stated to be picked up at a different location and when asked for was not provided by the attendant- it was a bit awkward, passes in the binder would have been appreciated. Thank you to our host for having us and being open with communication!

Relaxation Destination
We stayed in this cabin for my son and my birthday that is in the same weekend (memorial weekend) The mason jar lights add so much character to this place. It was spacious with breathtaking views and offered many extra fun touches with wooden tables cut from trees, corrugated barn metal in the upstairs bath and the log steps leading to the second story. My sons favorite place to be was the sunroom off the family room he loved being able to look around outside and play with his trucks and spiderman in an environment where we didn’t have to worry about breaking many things. We enjoyed our stay, the owner was very friendly and accommodating

Winter Weekend Getaway
We had a nice time this weekend. Location was great, cabin is roomy with owner providing many things we needed for our stay. We did get a very good rate for this time of the year. Suggestions we would make are: -living room area is dark, needs overhead lighting(looks like a fixture was there at one point) -mattresses and sectional need to be updated as my family didn't sleep well because mattresses, sectional weren't supportive -door knobs need to be replaced on some doors as it's hard to tell if doors are locked or not -Wifi isn't the greatest and tv needs to be replaced

We really enjoyed the property- it’s a beautiful location and convenient to LBL and all it has to offer. We hiked everyday and came back to a great kitchen to cook in with actual sharp knives and great pots and pans! A first in VRBO for us! If our pup wasn’t tired out, it was awesome to be able to play fetch in the water out back shile enjoying the beautiful sunset. Thank you for making our fur buddy welcome. This is a lab paradise, for sure. Thank you also for the privacy- it was quiet and comfortable. Great for sleeping- overall the little respite we were seeking. Rent from Lucas with confidence! Many other rentals on the street to suit your needs and all looked great. Nothing fancy, but everything you need in a beautiful environment.

Relaxing Easter getaway
Myself, husband, our 5 kids plus my son's girlfriend and daughter's boyfriend enjoyed a long weekend at the cabin. We communicated multiple times with the owner regarding accessing the kayaks and other general questions. We received very timely responses and assistance every time. It was a very relaxing long weekend. The cabins's location was great and had easy access to fishing, kayaking and hiking. We are trying to visit all 50 states so we don't typically go back to the same area twice. However, if we ever find ourselves back in the LBL area, we would definitely consider returning!

This cabin was perfect! Very clean, everything was in working order and it had all the amenities we needed. Lucas and Daniel were both quick to respond and are great people. We thoroughly enjoyed the lake views, renting a pontoon boat to get on the water and cozy evenings in the cabin. LBL is about as close as you can get, lots of fun trails and wildlife. We saw 11 bald eagles, lots of deer and turkeys. Nice nature center and animal sanctuary nearby and good places to eat. Will definitely be back again!

Just like Grandma's...
While our overall stay was comfortable, the best way to describe it is by saying it was just like staying at your Grandma's house. There are beds and furniture, but like what you expect from grandma - functional, but from the 80's. The pros of this property are the view's and the location - which is just outside of LBL. I hate using the word "cons," but there are a few things to consider: 1) If you have T-mobile/Sprint, there is no service at the house so you have to rely on Wi-Fi. 2) The Wi-Fi is also like what you expect at Grandma's, she has it, but at the slowest speeds possible. There were four of us and only using our phones - and the Wi-Fi couldn't keep up. Not that big of a deal, until the storms came through so you have no way to know what's going on. (Note: there is a satellite TV receiver, but there's no service connected to it even though it has a sticker that shows what input it should be on.) 3) The Lake Barkley Resort Park Facilities are closed on Sunday. Not the property owner's fault, but that would have been good to know ahead of time since we knew it was going to rain the entire weekend we were scheduled to stay here. Overall, if you're looking for a place just to crash for the night with hot water and a bed, this place will suffice. If you're looking for a place for 10 people to stay on a rainy weekend getaway, well, you'd better bring some playing cards because you won't be able to rely on modern communication. While our stay was comfortable enough, the entire place needs updating and a little TLC to be an amazing place and worth the price. We saw notes from previous guests about the roof leaking and had the same issue. We put bowls under the leaks to catch the water and nothing we had was ruined, but it was just an example of how things should be updated. We did read others talk about the old pots and pans. The pots appear as if they were updated, but there is only one cooking sheet and you guessed it, it was just like grandma's - if grandma never baked cookies anymore. There were only 4 of us so we were good, but it is advertised for parties of 8-10, and there would not be enough kitchenware for that many people. We've stayed at much nicer places for less money that were much better maintained and updated. I don't mean to be critical, but believe you should know what you are getting.

Response from VrboOwner on 12 Aug 2023
Thanks for choosing to stay with us! I am sorry we didn't compare to other places you have stayed but we make no claim to be the best of the best. We ask that you only expect exactly what you see in the pictures and description online. I will agree that we have had some roof issues and we have ordered standing seam to be installed but they can't get to the job for another 60 days. We have patched the roof but it needs replacing. As far as the other stuff... The pictures are up to date online. The description is up to date online. If everyone will take the time to read and look over this they will understand exactly what to expect when they arrive. The cell service is noted clearly. The internet is noted clearly. The occupancy is noted clearly. The furniture is clearly pictured and actually one bed has been replaced and is much nicer than pictured. I have 0 control over when the State Park is open. If you look at the description you will see that the TV is a smart TV and not hooked to the satellite. I apologize it rained during your stay and I apologize that the roof leaked. We have again patched the roof but we can not speed the process up any more than we have already. Please consider what is offered when you sign up when leaving a review of future properties. We will never be the Ritz.

Quiet getaway
The property was very clean. The view was very nice. The owner responded quickly to a concern about the main entry doorknob. We should have read the description more closely to know there is no dishwasher or functioning fireplace. I would suggest fixing the window that has a note saying it was been broken for months and changing the door code with each guest for safety.
Stayed 4 nights in Dec 2020
Response from VrboOwner on 12 Aug 2023
A customer broke the window in September of 2020.... A little virus called covid made everything extremely slow to get. The first glass came in cracked from shipping and the second was installed immediately after you left. The broken window was in a sunroom and had absolutely NO bearing on the quality of your stay. You asked for a firefighter discount, which I don't normally do but it was the off season and I have a huge respect for first responded and our military so I gave you a discount. Part of the deal was that I wanted paid in cash for the pet fee as soon as you arrived. When you arrived you sent me a stern message about the door knob being broken a huge fire hazard so I said I'll gladly send someone right over to fix it. FINALLY a day later you let me in the house to fix the door knob and then you tried to not pay me for the pet! Somehow it was my fault that in the description it is stated that the fireplace was "for looks only" and when you asked me about firewood you actually stated for the "fire pit".. Most fire pits are outside. Making a public statement about the door code makes it alot safer! We already use multiple door codes, thanks for your advice.

Great Alternative to Beach Trip
Usually my family travels to Gulf Shores for fall break, but this year, due to Covid-19, we wanted to stay in Kentucky. We had never been to Land Between the Lakes, and we really loved it. Gorgeous area! We chose this property because it was dog friendly and right on the lake. The cabin is a little rustic on the outside, but is comfortable and clean and spacious. The back multi-layered deck, and access to the lake is terrific. We loved the private rocky beach (bring some water shoes for more comfort wading.) Lucas was right there when we had questions or concerns. This is in a neighborhood, so houses are close by, but it's a very quiet, family friendly street, and it truly is right off the highway. Go grocery shopping before you get there if you intend to cook a lot, as we did. As others have said, the cookware needs some updating, so hopefully that will happen. But otherwise, it was a really great place for my family of 6 plus 2 dogs to have some time together. Would definitely come back, especially in summer to swim, rent boats and kayaks!

Gorgeous View!
We stayed four days with nearly perfect weather. We couldn't get enough of the back deck and views of the lake - colorful sunsets, cool foggy mornings... Just breathtaking. The neighborhood is pretty quiet, we rarely saw/heard any neighbors. That could be because we spent most of our time on the back deck or inside playing games. Lucas was great about answering questions in a timely manner. We couldn't have been happier. Thanks!

Incredible stay
We stayed 4 days at this fabulous cabin. The views from the deck are incredible. The kids and dog had plenty of space to roam and stayed occupied all day. The nights were quiet and relaxing. Everybody we met in the neighborhood was extra friendly as well! The owner of this listing was incredibly helpful and responsive to all of our needs. On the last day of our stay, our dog wandered off too far and went missing for some time. He was so helpful in giving tips to help them find their way back, and even going as far as to get in his truck and help look for her! His boat rental at the end of the street was very nice. Good value and great fun. Easy in and out. The checkin and out was completely stress free. Will 100% be returning with my family next year!

Impressive view, room for improvement
For our first time planning a lake trip for 3 young couples and small kids, this sufficed. View is amazing, so it’s disappointing that the sunroom/deck are pretty dingy (old furniture, buildup of dead bugs/spiderwebs, windows are hard to open with no screens) and the waterfront access is treacherous (after the deck/stairs end, there is a rocky slope with a precarious, skinny stair with no rails). “Springing for” a lakefront home in this case did not pay off and we went to Lake Barkley State Park beach to swim - renting a pontoon was not in the budget sadly, so next time we may stay inland to be able to do that. Lucas was good about replying quickly, and he said they are working to resolve the issues we brought to his attention. Other pros: plenty of ceiling fans/additional fans so it was comfortable, quiet street, WiFi was not terrible. Other cons: cookware needs to be replaced, listing is somewhat confusing with regards to the free [leaky] canoe and the for-rent kayaks (there is a typo stating kayaks are free). They appear to be updating things such as the bathrooms and floors, hopefully next on the list is to make the outdoor space more inviting.

Sorry you were disappointed in your stay. I am always here to help where I can, we have our own beach attached to the street and it is where everyone else goes to play. At the time of this review there are well over 100 (4) star or better reviews. Please keep in mind that June, July, and August are the busiest times of the year and also the times we have the most amount of insects. We try our best to clean all we can but EVERYONE asks to check in early... When you check in early it cuts down on our availability to clean. Not saying this is a valid excuse it's just an explanation. We take alot of pride in our houses and most people love and appreciate our efforts. Thanks for choosing to stay with us!

The house was very rustic with an incredible view of the lake. The bedrooms were quite large and the gather space downstairs was excellent. Great bonus to be able to bring our dog. The owner was super helpful during the Covid 19 pandemic. The only downside was the kitchen was a bit small and it needs some new skillets. Overall it was a great experience.
