Wonderful Getaway for Our Group
There was a group of 12 Ladies from the Class of 1967 High School. We get together every Fall and have for several years. This location was great for us. We did have a small problem with the bridge being out and had to detour to get there, but once there everything was great. Plenty of room for parking and playing games. Thanks for the stay and we will surely look to stay here again..

Bourbon Trail Experience
Stayed here for our annual trip to The Bourbon Trail. Had a great time. Easy check in. Great house except for all the lady bugs and extremely colder in the downstairs area. Host was easy to communicate with and very responsive. Lots vm of room. Great for large parties. There were eight older adults on this trip!

Bourbon Trail adventure
A group of four of us stayed at the property as our home base for visiting distilleries in the area. While the property location is isolated, we were still near enough to everyplace we wanted to visit that it was never inconvenient. As a matter of fact, the location of the property was one of its best features. The surroundings are beautiful and everything was so quiet and peaceful. The house is immaculate, well maintained, and has every amenity you could wish. We spent our evenings around the fire pit sipping bourbon and gazing at the stars. There was PLENTY of room for the four of us and then some. I highly recommend this property.

Amazing property-don’t expect to grill
Me and my friends thoroughly enjoyed our time at this cabin. It is in a very central location to a ton of distilleries. The property managers were very responsive and issues came up with booking but we were able to get it worked out. The place was very clean and had plenty of towels/supplies. The only negative thing and the reasoning for the 4 stars is that of the 8 burners between the two grills for use, only 2-3 were actually functional. We had to alter most of our meals we were planning to cook for the long weekend and consumed a lot of more time than expected.

Great property and had a wonderful time. Only problem we had was the large gas grill needed cleaning. When we used it, it caught fire because of all the grease buildup below grate. We had to shut it down.

Family Gathering in Bagdad
We stayed at the cabin for a family gathering and had a fantastic time. Wonderful spot for a long weekend with plenty of activities for the kids in our group as well as the adults. Pool table and air hockey inside for the kids, and plenty of grounds to explore outside with hiking, fishing, and a fire pit. We had 7 adults and 5 children and the cabin was the perfect size for our group. Several bedrooms and also one big room with bunk beds that was great for the kids to stay together. Cabin was well stocked and had everything we needed for a long weekend. Good instructions and communication before our stay and when we arrived. We loved our weekend here and hope to do it again sometime soon! Thanks so much!
