This was my first experience with a bed and breakfast and I really wasn’t sure what to expect. It’s like staying with family but keeping to your self. I found this place months ago and my initial plans in February fell through, so on July 3rd as I planned a work related adventure in the area, I remembered this place. I called pretty much at the last minute and was welcomed by Michelle. She isn’t actually onsite but met us a few miles away(not because we were lost or anything). I will admit, I’m extremely picky when it comes to hotels and resorts, so I was worried and didn’t want to commit before checking it out. Michelle was extremely gracious and showed us around the entire house. It passed the test and I chose the«Lakeside» room. The room had it’s own bathroom, and was immaculate. It was the only room in the inn with a private patio. When we first arrived it was loud because it overlooks the lake and it was a busy weekend. The view… why do we travel out of state when we have so much beauty within Kentucky?! The bad news: it’s on the market for sale… If you have $ 775,000 and decide to buy this place, hit me up because I’d love to stay here again. The owner, Mr. Noble was a bit unwelcoming at first, as Michelle was showing us around. I guess that’s what he pays her for anyway. As he sat in the living room, watching The History Channel on the community tv, my talkative husband got him to open up and he explained that this was Mrs. Noble’s dream and she passed away five years ago. They built the 8,000 square ft home ten years ago. Breakfast was prepared by Michelle and we ate in a community setting, there was only one other couple and Mr. Noble. I don’t mind the shared seating because I cruise a lot and that’s the norm on a cruise. But if you don’t like that, a B&B probably isn’t for you. I don’t think that I would’ve enjoyed it as much if the house were full to capacity. Check out was at 11:00 and they were expecting a full house in the 4th. The price was a bit steep, over double the rate that I was quoted in February. I think that if they were to lower the rate on non holidays and weekdays, I bet they would get more visitors. All in all, it’s a great getaway with an awesome view.

This is a great B & B! It’s beautifully decorated with antiques and has a fantastic view of the lake. A nice quiet deck on the back that’s a great place to read. Breakfast was good, too. Friendly hosts that are great at helping you find attractions or nearby restaurants. We’ve stayed in others, but this is one of the best.
