Just what I needed

Beautiful. Peaceful. Clean. Perfect.The time I spent on the dock was a dream.It happens to be on a lone curve across from a little island that an amazing array of birds goes to and fro all day. Every type of winged creature seemed to soar above and around me. Great egrets and herons swooped down swift and steady just above the water right past me. I tell you it was just glorious.The song of nature all around in every bird call , splash of water, wind in the trees .. I spent hours and hours at the lake .. and my nights in a heavenly nest of a bed! I felt safe and cozy and nothing but great vibes from my texts with the owners and one brief encounter on the grounds. Good people.I will absolutely be back.

My husband and I thoroughly enjoyed our stay. It was so spacious, clean, adorably decorated, had everything we needed and more. The location was perfect for day trips to Garden of the Gods, Paducah and excellent antiquing. We enjoyed walks around the property in the evening and dinner at several locations recommended by Denise. We hope to stay again.

Private and cozy

We loved this little cottage which provided us with a much needed get away. Very, very clean and tidy, it contained just what was needed. We enjoyed the outdoor fire pit while watching the wildlife and sunrises/sets. I would definitely return as the hosts were so kind yet not intrusive. I will note the cottage is located right by the main house. This was not an issue for us and we did not see anyone, but others may want something more secluded.

Very nice cabin. Close to all the hiking we had planned. The walk to the lake was much harder than it seems in pictures and very steep. Everything else was very comfortable and we had the solitude we were seeking. Would stay here again.

Denise and Ken are wonderful hosts, and they have a fantastic place at a great location. The cabin has been thoughtfully created with all the conveniences and touches of a home. The beautiful porch was our favorite spot to enjoy tea/coffee in the mornings and evenings. The kitchen is well-stocked with cooking essentials and pantry staples for homemade meals. The mattress was really comfortable, helping us get a great night's rest. Loved the little drive under the canopy of trees along the hill leading up to the cabin. The location is great for access to Shawnee National Forest, Ferne Clyffe State Park, and other great spots in the area. Denise's food and hiking recommendations were much appreciated. Highly recommend this place and we look forward to returning in the future.

The cabin was as described and more! So clean and comfortable for my family of 4. We enjoyed swimming and fishing in the lake. Do recommend a good shoe for the walk to the lake as it is a bit steep. The owners were very helpful and so nice. We highly recommend this cabin and would definitely come back. Quiet and relaxing!

If you are looking for some quiet and seclusion this may be for you. Pasture behind the cabin with woods all around made for a serene location to unwind. My wife and I really enjoyed our stay. The cabin was just as advertised. Roomy and nicely appointed. Ours hosts were very cordial and responsive to our needs. Enjoy!

Cute and Clean

This cabin was perfect for my birthday weekend away! It was super clean and fresh. Everything you need is in this cabin. The owners thought of things that I didn't know that I needed!! We had all of the comforts from home. The king size bed is super soft, almost too soft! The lake isn't as easy to get to as I would have liked. You have to walk down a path and there were parts that were pretty rocky and slippery. The cabin is located in an area that is close to the wineries and lots of hiking. We had a fun and peaceful weekend.

Perfect!

I couldn't have been happier with our little getaway! This house is adorable, cozy, and had everything we needed. And it was so clean!---without smelling "clean." As someone with a fragrance (chemical) sensitivity, it isn't easy to find places I can stay. Prior use of laundry fragrance and air fresheners don’t just go away. Being told that these items weren't used was clear to me because I had absolutely no issue. None. And when I saw the bar of fragrance-free soap that Denise had out for me I nearly cried. It is clear that Denise and Ken care not just about their home but their guests. (Communication with Denise prior to our stay was also easy with quick responses.) We enjoyed sitting out on the charming porch in the evening, sipping on wine and enjoying the country atmosphere. And sitting outside with a hot cup of coffee in the morning was just what I dream of. Peaceful and perfect. It was fun to watch the deer in the open field in the evening. The simple things. I felt completely relaxed and at home. The view of the lake is as beautiful as the pictures. Special note: it was a bit of a walk on a rocky path so once was enough for me. The cabin is very close to the owner’s home but that wasn’t an issue at all. It was actually comforting for me to know that if we needed anything (which we didn’t) they were close by. A getaway worth repeating!

Very secluded

We are busy people who do not find it easy to relax. The private lane to the property was a delight and beautiful. It was fun being greeted by the epedomy a southern gentleman who smelled so good. We were able to relax from day one and owners were most responsive to our needs. The feather laden bed was beyond amazing and the group of deers on the property were fun as it seemed they enjoyed watching us as we did them.

Our stay at Crews Mountain

We really enjoyed our stay in Goreville thanks to Denise and Ken Crews. Their rental home was perfect for us. It had everything that we needed, then a little more. It was very clean and comfortable, from the soft towels to the very comfy bedroom. The rooms were large and tastefully decorated. Ken Crews met us when we arrived. He gave us info about the area. We enjoyed our conversation with him. We thought their property was beautiful. Thanks guys!
