The Hickory Hollow Log Cabin by Garden of Gods in the Shawnee National Forest
9.8 out of 10, Exceptional, (83)
"The cabin is quaint and designed like a tiny house. There was a queen bed in the loft. The stairs to the loft were actual stairs. It was easy to climb up. The ceiling was high in the miiddle so we could stand. The bathroom had a good shower without walls. So plenty of room. I think it would be beautiful in the fall. Cicadas were singing and flying around. We had a good time. We would recommend it to others."

Quiet Lakefront Cabin with Hot tub! On the serene Hohman Lake.
9.8 out of 10, Exceptional, (103)
"We had a wonderful time mostly. The house had all the kitchen items we needed. The bathroom was stocked with tp and towels. Plenty of blankets and pillows. There was severe weather. So, both mornings we woke up with no power. But, when there was power, the WiFi worked great and the hot tub was so relaxing. We took advantage of fishing in between the storms. Wish the weather would’ve been better, but not much the owners can do about that. I would definitely recommend this place to friends and...

10.0 out of 10, Exceptional, (73)
"Loved this property! Super easy to find, great location, clean, very spacious, all the comforts of home. My work team opted to stay together while in town for an outing at KY Lake rather than all rent hotels rooms. Best decision. This was the perfect place that allowed everyone to have their own space. The kitchen/living area is huge. There were only 4 of us so it was very comfortable. Definitely would stay here again! I slept in the back bedroom. I don’t know what that mattress was, but I fell...

"This is is the cutest most comfortable and luxurious "tiny house" ive ever seen! The hosts communicated quickly and effectively. The accommodations were better than we expected. Everything was just right. My ONLY regret is that i didnt research times local businesses were open prior to our stop. Travel took longer than expected (we are in the process of moving and had a trailer along so we were too long for the ferry and had to go around). Be smarter than we were and plan accordingly 😉"
