We were asked to leave for trying to use our own Fire stick and messed up input on TV. She said it was in book not to hook anything up but it wasn't. I have a picture. Owners too involved. Too close. Wanted seclusion. They said they would care for whirlpool daily at 1 pm but he was there at 8 am. Wanted us to call them to start fire in pit. Dogs loose all the time. Owner seemed to have issues with our dog even though we had discussed the type and she knew she was big.

Awesome Host!
You wont find a better host than Mela! We didn't have much time to explore the area because we were there for Rock The Country Music Festival which was one of the best concerts we've seen. If you're looking for a place to relax in the hills of Kentucky, this is it.

This property is gorgeous. The owners are so kind and hospitable. They went above and beyond anything I’ve ever seen. I will most definitely come again. Honestly, I can’t wait to. It was a wonderful, romantic getaway. I highly recommend staying here.
