About this property

Our home is approximately three miles from Dale Hollow Lake, with four marinas within 10 miles (Hendricks Creek, Sulphur Creek, Safe Harbor Holly Creek, and Dale Hollow State Park). We have plenty of parking space for you to bring your boat and jet skis, or you can rent them at one of the nearby marinas.

The house sits on 15 acres down a dead end road, and we have a small pond out back. If you like to hike, there are several wooded acres beyond the pond for you to explore.

We purchased the house in August 2019, and we spent months working on upgrades. The house has new appliances, beds, paint, and new flooring throughout. The 2020 season got off to a rough start with covid, but still amazingly exceeded our expectations.

The house's living spaces are divided by a two car garage. Both "suites" are included in the rental price as we do not book them separately at this time. Because access to the garage is currently restricted, you must go outside to walk between suites.

"Suite 1" sleeps 10
-kitchen, dining, and living rooms on the 1st floor
-Roku TV in living room
-full bath on 1st floor
-queen master bedroom on 2nd floor
-queen bedroom on 2nd floor
-twin over twin bunks on 2nd floor
-full bath on 2nd floor
-two queen sleeper sofas in the living room on 1st floor

"Suite 2" sleeps 4
-kitchen
-full bath
-2 queen bedrooms on 1st floor
-Roku TV in bedroom / kitchen

There is a deck with a gas grill and patio furniture that wraps around from the dining room to the rear deck doors in the living room. There are also balconies off the front and back of the house, accessed from the upstairs bedrooms. Both balconies have outdoor seating.

We have an outbuilding with a porch and patio furniture for guest use as well.

Please don't hesitate to ask for more information!

Great place to stay!

Plenty of space inside and out for our family of four plus a furry friend. We had a wonderful time exploring the woods and sitting by the fire pit, roasting marshmallows while it snowed just a little. Good size kitchen for cooking Thanksgiving dinner and lots of couches to lounge in afterwards. Large dining table for eating as a family or playing games. Would definitely visit again!

Peaceful and Relaxing Environment

Our family enjoyed our stay at this home. We loved the fact that it was away from the hustle of town and in the countryside. We loved watching the birds fly in to the feeders and see the different varieties of species. The house was well equipped with everything we needed to cook for our family. We enjoyed the Quarry Restaurant and overlooking the lakes and landscape. We would recommend this home to others.

5 Day Boating Trip

A group of 11 of us booked this house for a 5 day boating trip at Dale Hollow Lake. The location is perfect as it is near Hendricks Creek, Sulphur Creek and Cedar Hill Marinas. Parking is wonderful with plenty of space for boats and trailers. The cabin was clean and everything that was advertised. Very spacious and well equipped. Plenty of space and sitting areas for a large group. The owner was great and went above and beyond with a couple of requests that I had. Also, when we locked ourselves out (our own fault), she was quick to respond and provide assistance. I couldn’t ask for more and have 0 complaints. Five Stars, 10/10, highly recommend!

Great for families

The house is great for large families. We had 3 families with teens and we had plenty of room. The kitchen was great for cooking our meals and we enjoyed the fire pit and back porch for hanging out. There was even things left from previous renters like spices, condiments, baggies, trash bags, etc. That was great and appreciated. The drive to sulfur creek was easy and not too far. Plenty of parking for our boats and trailers too. The beds were comfy and the house had everything we needed to make it feel like a home away from home. Thank you to the host for sharing your place with us!

Meet in the Middle

Where do 3 cousins and their young families meet up when they live across 3 states and 2 timezones? This would be the place and this was our 2nd year! Once again, the property was exactly what we needed. It is spacious and private, with lots of outdoor space for children and dogs. Upon arrival, the property is exceptionally clean and well stocked with all the amenities needed to host the biggest feast of the year! Great care is taken and niceties are provided such as ample linens and lots of games and puzzles. Amy is very wonderful to work with: flexible, quick to respond and helpful! We intend to continue to book in the future! =)

The Perfect Lakehouse

Everything about this house was perfect! The kitchen was stocked with all the necessities and we had plenty of bath towels. All of the beds were comfortable and the check in process was so easy. Our absolute favorite part of our stay was sitting outside watching all the birds in the multiple feeders. The driveway was plenty big enough for our trucks and boat trailers. Everything was clean and we had plenty of games to play after a full day on the lake.

About the host

Hosted by Amy Rice

Scott and Amy Rice have been vacationing on the lakes of Kentucky for over 14 years. They started out pulling a camper and renting boats at campgrounds each summer. When their children literally outgrew their camper bunks, they sold the camper and started renting vacation houses near the lake. In 2019 they were able to make a long-time dream of owning a home near Dale Hollow Lake come true.

Why they chose this property

Amy grew up visiting her grandparents at the lake every summer. Each day was spent fishing, swimming, gardening, exploring the lakeshore, and scratching mosquito bites! She introduced Scott to her love of the lake while they were dating, and they have shared that love with their children. Standing beside the pond the very first time, watching the dragonflies dart and the butterflies dance, it was like being back on the water with her grandpa again. It felt like home!

What makes this property unique

-5 bedrooms, 3 bathrooms, sleeps 14
