Family Christmas
We stayed here for several days the week between Christmas and New Year’s Day for a family Christmas. We had 22 in our group and we were all very comfortable with lots of room to spread out! We enjoyed the pool table and games in the basement. The cabin was decked out for Christmas with a beautiful live tree. The kitchen was very well stocked with everything we needed! There were also numerous board games to choose from. Some of us also enjoyed fishing in the pond and walking the trails. We made many happy memories here! Thank you!

Family Re-Union Dec 2023
Chandler Ridge was the perfect place to stay for our group of 10 adults and nine kids aged 2 to 17. Our family get-together was around the first anniversary without our dad, and we wanted to make new memories with our mother around this otherwise sad season. It would have been their 50th so we took in the Ark Encounter as an excursion for that day. An amazing and wonderful experience! The owners went out of their way to decorate the home for the soon-coming Christmas season, which was unexpected and appreciated. The cabin was cozy with its fireplace, very clean and peaceful. There was plenty of room for sleeping everyone comfortably, and the three bathrooms were really nice, especially with all the kids we had. The only thing I wish I knew about was there were three rolls of toilet paper allotted to each bathroom. We ended up running out late at night. I'm sure this would have been fine for most people, but if I knew, I would have bought some with the number of kids we had in the cabin. The extras of the pool table, foosball, and air hockey, not to mention the space, made it fun for all the kids as well. We made great memories all because of this fine beautiful cabin. Thank you, Mary, for everything.

Perfect
Could not have had a more perfect place for our family to get together to celebrate retirement. Plenty of room for everyone to be comfortable. Spacious kitchen work area. Enough nice bathrooms. We could all gather for food and fellowship or spread out and relax. The teens and kids were contented as there were things for them to do. No problem sleeping everyone. Lovely, private setting. Very clean and well supplied. Communication with owner was efficient and pleasant. Would definitely consider staying again.

About the host

Hosted by Mary Gonda-Chandler

Host profile image
My husband and I bought the land for Chandler Ridge in 2003, we began building that fall and by Spring 2005 the lodge was open for guests. We love to travel and have been very blessed to see some of the world so far. I have always wanted a log cabin of my own, but never dreamed of building a retreat facility. I have been in the hospitality business in some form since I was 18 so hosting guests from all over the world was not a big step for me. My husband is a great do it all kinda guy and we have built several things together. By far, the cabin is our favorite and we hope you enjoy it too.

Why they chose this property

This beautiful 20 acres is wonderfully located to experience all Kentucky has to offer. Halfway between Louisville and Lexington and just south of Cincinnati, we are in the ideal spot for seeing all aspectsof the Bluegrass State.

What makes this property unique

The cabin is wonderfully located for guests visiting the Bourbon Trail, The Ark and many more inviting Kentucky area activities. As well as families gathering from the North to the South, it is a great central location.
