LOG Cabin, 5 miles from town, but very country setting

This cute log cabin was built by my grandparents about 35 years ago. The cabin is a little over 5 miles from downtown Somerset, and about 30 minutes from the lake. Play golf up the road at Eagle's Nest Country Club if you don't want to go to the lake, or play a round before the monthly car show. The road is a residential road, with little traffic. Area is very quite, and gets dark, but night time is a great for a time to gather around the fire pit in the back yard. There is enough room in the front to park several cars, and enough room to park the boat when you pull it out of the water.

House also has a pack-n-play in the master closet.

House includes a charcoal grill. Fire wood for the fire pit can be purchased locally if there is none in the back yard.

The master bedroom has a queen bed with ample room, sleeps 2, as well as a futon, sleeping 2.
The second bedroom has a bunk bed with a twin on top and a full on the bottom, sleeping 3.

Laundry facilities are also in the bathroom.

House does have internet, as well as a roku with YouTube TV in the livingroom. As well as a firestick with YouTubeTV in the master bedroom.

No smoking is allowed in the house. However, there is an ash tray provided on the front and back porch.

Sweet Stay at Grandmas Peace
We really enjoyed our stay this past weekend. We hauled a vehicle for the cruise in and had plenty of room for the truck and trailer. Our ONLY negative was that the carpet was a bit worn in places, but the place was so clean and comfortable. Thanks for a great stay!

Nice cabin
It was a nice cabin overall. The carpet was torn in some places as well as worn and well used, and some other cosmetic issues, but it did not detract from my enjoying myself in the peace and quiet. I did sit outside for some time and took it easy on the wooden bench, it was nice watching the wildlife.

Kentucky stay
Easy to get to town. Was disappointed in the paranormal museum. Was more like a big foot museum. Cute old downtown area. Beautiful area for summertime with lots of trees and trails not as much to do in the spring. Overall a nice relaxing place to stay.

Cozy Cabin
Such a great little cozy cabin. It has all the necessities needed for a comfortable stay without all the high end items (especially with younger kiddos). This is the second time we have stayed and would love to come back again.

LOVE this cabin! Location is PERFECT. Quiet, peaceful, and pet friendly. Owner is pleasant and we learned a lot about Somerset. Wi-if worked wonderfully for the TV streaming. The backyard has a great string of lights to sit out and enjoy the porch or fire pit. Best week ever!

Another very pleasant escape to this cozy cabin
This is the second time we stayed at this warm and welcoming log cabin, and we will definitely return. It is so quiet and peaceful. I always sleep great when I'm here. Aaron is an excellent host and does everything he can to make us feel welcome. I highly recommend this gem in the heart of the Lake Cumberland area!

Good for the most part
Great location, quiet. A great selection of kitchen items!! There were only 2 things that could be better. There were no paper towels. That would have been okay if thay were listed as such. The other was the A/C. They are the wall mounted and did not cool the space at all. We did have cool nights and would have opened the windows. However, there are big holes in the screens and I wasn't keen on the bug fest that would have followed.

A very nice little getaway.
The property is larger than it appears in the photos. We found it very comfortable. The best part was enjoying time together outside on the two porches. There were many birds in the backyard including House and Carolina Wrens among many other birds. I even heard a Baltimore Oriole. I know not everyone enjoys watching birds, but for those who do this is a great spot.

Nice little cabin. A little TLC on this place would be helpful.
Nice little cabin that allows pets which is great. A little TLC on this place would greatly enhance property and could increase rates. Would suggest removing all carpets if remaining pet friendly.

I wanted a quiet and comfortable place to rest and recharge and this country cabin was perfect!
I will be returning to this quiet, clean and comfortable cabin again! An incredible bargain to boot. The place is well cared for and I felt right at home. Comfortable bed and the heating system was quiet and worked perfectly. I spent hours enjoying the porch and backyard fire pit. Host Aaron was amazing.

Economical option
The host responds fast and was very nice. Aaron knew that we will arrive late, so he left the porch light on for us - make it much easier to find the place! There was individual AC in each room, so you can easily adjust room temperature. Kitchen was nice, we found everything we needed. We also liked the fire-pit, and we brought our own matches and fire wood. You may feel you’re in the middle of no where if arriving at night, but it’s actually in a neighborhood. There are two storage units in the back yard - both are not well covered. One of the unit has bullet-shall-type of items scattered on the floor. It might be something you want to consider depending on your comfort level. The over all experience was great!
