Peaceful and great fishing

It was a nice clean house with pretty views of the lake. My husband caught over a dozen fish. The weather wasn't great while we were there but it was still a good time.

Beautiful cabin on the Lake

We had a great time relaxing inside, in the hot tub and walking around the lake. It's a wonderful place to stay. Nearby we enjoyed food in Paducah, the great trails for MTBing and hiking in the Land Between the Lakes, and just had to waste time seeing the World's Tallest Superman. Good times for sure.

Best Retreat

I almost don’t want to share how great this place is to keep it a secret for when I want to stay! Seriously though, couldn’t ask for a better place to get away. My last minute booking was accepted right away. All necessary information to check in was conveniently provided through the site. House was clean and comfortable. I forgot soap, and body wash was available! Hot tub was clean and enjoyable under the night sky. The swing by the lake was a nice touch. Dock is sturdy. Property is a great location. I am definitely booking again!

Great place

I rented this place for my father and his friend while I stayed at the cabin 75 yards up the hill. Everything across these two properties is top notch and highly recommended. Having two properties so close did help us all travel down and stay “together”. We met up every evening for dinner and a few drinks and then stumbled down the road back to our respective cabins. Jerome and Rachel have a gem here and you should check it out for yourself.

Friends catching up

This was perfect for us two childhood friends who wanted to catch up on each other’s lives. Quiet neighborhood so we were able to sit within the screened back porch or the deck and view the fall colors around the lake. The hot tub was a bonus. The kitchen was stocked with more than most VRBOs. Close to a couple towns for eating out. A bit of a drive from the main road but worth it. Definitely recommend!

WONDERFUL PLACE

The lake house has beautiful scenery, and the home is cozy and clean. The owners have been nothing but kind and helpful. I’ve spoken to Rachel when needed and she always replied right away, as much as one can with no wi-fi and very limited cellular service. This was our 2nd visit to the lake house and I would recommend this to anyone who is looking for somewhere quiet, relaxing, and just needs to get away from the hustle and bustle of it all.

5 day stay

Location was amazing, quiet nights, dark skies with incredible view of the stars. Lake was gorgeous and perfect for swimming, we will probably make this an annual trip. Only complaint would be the little white dog next door who came o er every morning to bark at us, but he was easy to run off, just annoying. Overall was an excellent experience and would gladly recommend.

Wonderful stay

The only reason I did not get five stars, for the accuracy of listing is because I did not feel the water was swimmable, and that was the whole reason we booked there. There was just a lot of moss or lily pads and way too many turtles for my likings. We had trouble with hornets, but other than the normal unpreventable outdoor things, the home itself was beautifully placed by the lake, very clean, and the host were very responsive!

Relaxing Family Vacation

We enjoyed kayaking, swimming in the lake and using the hot tub. We had plans to go hiking but Hurricane Beryl had other ideas. We made the most of the rainy weather by enjoying more time at the lake. It was our pet’s first vacation and he enjoyed kayaking, swimming and exploring. We love the location. We would recommend this house to family and friends. We hope to be back next summer.

About the host

Hosted by Jerome and Rachel Gabriel

Host profile image
For years, we've been using this area to recharge our family, and we're thrilled to provide the same experience to others that attracted us here. During their stay, we make every effort to be available to our guests to ensure they have an excellent time.

Why they chose this property

At the Retreat Cabin, you can enjoy a truly exceptional getaway experience. The serene lake, stunning scenery, and opportunity to disconnect from the hustle and bustle of daily life are just a few of the reasons why we keep returning to this place. One of our favorite things to do is to sit out on the dock and watch the breathtaking sunset (or sunrise if you're an early riser).

What makes this property unique

Our family's main reason for repeatedly returning to the cabin was the absence of cable TV and internet. This allowed us to avoid the distractions of technology and focus on reconnecting with one another. While some may view this as an inconvenience, we saw it as a valuable opportunity that our family truly needed. It's a chance we wanted to extend to others who seek a place to disconnect from technology and instead prioritize reconnecting with loved ones.
