We absolutely loved staying here! The description is accurate, so I won't go into detail there. The cabin is in a fanatic location if you are looking to get away from it all. Very private, beautiful view of the lake. No one bothered us while we were there, which was exactly what we wanted. We will definitely come back!
This cottage was the perfect end of summer getaway. We loved the property and exploring the area. Our dogs especially loved the property! The sunrises over the lake were amazing.
The small size was perfect for us!
I came to stay in the cute little cabin to have a much needed reset. I felt safe and the view was amazing. The cabin was the perfect size and location was amazing as well!
This is the absolute perfect peaceful getaway spot. All the comforts with the rustic cabin feel! The lake is breathtaking and the privacy is everything you want!
We enjoyed our visit so much. We had everything we needed in the cabin along with the beautiful view of the water. We used the fire pit at night and soaked up the quiet and the solitude. Our dog enjoyed the time there, too!
This is our favorite place to have some quiet time together with the Lord. The lake allows for some fun fishing and quiet kayaking. The home is cozy and quiet for the two of us to enjoy games, dinner and snuggles under the open skies.
We come every year for the 4th of July! It’s the perfect place for our family and we always look forward to the cabin all year long. This place is perfect and our daughter loves the lake and fishing. It’s so nice to unplug and play games and spend time together!
We loved everything about this little cottage. We enjoyed every second of our stay. So nice to be away from everything and we were able to bring our dog. He was able to have fun too! We would definitley stay here again! Love the love shack!
Thank you so much! My husband and I shared a month of perfect peace and quiet, playing games on the deck as we watched the sun set over a beautiful lake, and taking strolls along its shore. We so appreciated our time alone together in such a serene setting.
This was our second visit to the “Love Shack”. Both times we enjoyed a quiet quaint rustic getaway. The gravel drive made for a safe country walk. The provided canoes allowed for great sunset and sunrise fishing.
Listing was everything mentioned. Beautiful view, comfortable bed, clean and exactly what we needed for a weekend getaway. 10 stars from us. Will book again!!
It was pleasant and quiet, couldnt really fish because of moss and grass in bottom . Other than that it was really nice . Goid place to spend quiet quality time with spouse or partner.
My 9 year old son and I stayed at the cabin this weekend and had a wonderful time! Check in was a breeze! The cabin was adorable and very clean. There is a fire pit right outside the front door. I had a hard time getting a fire started and Rick was super nice and came down to help us so my son wouldnt be disappointed. Its in a great location, right on the lake and a quick 10 minute drive to Pennyrile State Park Beach. We will definitely stay here again!
This was absolutely a great quiet getaway from it all....nice surroundings, easy access to the parks and towns and lots of solitude. Weather was perfect while we were there... 70's in October and the trees were beautiful! A very small cabin but no larger than the 2 of us need. Newly updated firestick tv gave lots of access to shows, movies, etc. Not sure of the building activity began next to the cabin... a bit too close imo. Overall, a great stay!
Property was much prettier than the pictures! A great weekend of relaxing with no noise pollution! The pond was great for kayaking and canoeing just not a place for swimming! The host responded quickly to helping with getting the tv on at 8 o’clock pm!
We stayed with Rick at the cabin for 60 days. Springtime here on the Lake was wonderful! The firepit got lots of use. There's both an open and covered porch for morning coffee and evening drinks. The cabin is perfect for couples to enjoy the country. Nearby is the Casey Jones Distillery which has entertainment, and all supplies you might need are up the street in Crofton. We're moving to our new house shortly and we will be back to visit with Rick and Carla. They're exceptional hosts with in a magnificent setting. Thanks to you both!
The cabin was exactly what we were looking for, a quiet place to get away with nothing around for miles. Literally nothing around. There is a little stop l strip about 10 minutes away that had several dollar stores and a gas station but that's about it. There's a large town about 30 minutes out. All you can hear from the cabin is nature!! It was a perfect for me husband and I but there is a twin bed up on the loft if you brought a child. Fishing is hard unless you're on a boat since the lake is full of grass that you're hook will catch on, other than that great stay!!
