Great house, great host
This is a great house just far enough away from Louisville, but still close enough to be convenient. The lake's marina is 2 minutes away, the neighborhood pool a minute's walk. The house itself is spacious, clean and appliances up to date. Great table for playing games, lots of space to socialize. Good AC, water pressure, and comfortable beds.
This is our 2nd year in a row staying here with a group of 8 friends and we'll be back!

A home for the Holiday
We enjoyed this nice home over Thanksgiving. The bedroom/bed situation was well suited for our family of 9 (even though there was no bath on the lower level). Having linens & towels supplied was really helpful too. The kitchen space was great and the equipment was adequate (most food was made prior to coming) but an 8 qt stock pot would help for cooking pasta, etc. We enjoyed the privacy of the location and had a lovely hike on the trail down to the lake on thanksgiving morning.
Overall, a nice home for our holiday.

Plenty of room for everyone!
Beautiful home, plenty of room for 10 adults. Shuffleboard table on the deck was lots of fun! Owner was easy to work with and was quick to respond when there were a few minor issues during our stay. Beds were comfortable -- even the twin bed that 2 adults shared because there wasn't a full or queen bed in one of the rooms. However, overall, this was a wonderful property that I'd recommend. Only drawback was the open bathroom concept in the master bedroom -- spa tub was unusable for showering before the wedding we were all attending haha

Holiday Family Get-Together
Was a great house for our family get together of 11 adults. Plenty of common space on the first level and the kitchen table was easily able to seat 8 people for meals and games. The arcade gaming system in the basement was a lot of fun with 100's of vintage games. The hot tub worked well and was enjoyable even in the rain as it is protected by the deck overhead. Good sleeping arrangements. As mentioned in other reviews - there is no bathroom on the walk-out basement level which may not be the most convenient for the 6 people sleeping on that level. Location was quite good and the resort was quiet with perfect access to plenty of hiking/walking trails.

Perfect central location for Derby and Bourbon Trail
My husband and I shared this house with another couple for a bourbon and Kentucky Derby trip. Location was perfect. The neighborhood was quiet and peaceful even though there were other Derby revealers at houses across the street. The community pool is very close to this house - could make for some noise if kids were around but it was still closed when we stayed so can’t say if that would be bothersome. The house is nice and comfortable - not sparkling clean but decent. Beds were comfy and there was great plenty lounging/sitting space in the common areas for us. The property a manager was very easy to reach and check in and out were both super easy.

The house is good size for 10 people. Most of the amenities are the same as website described. We have a wonderful time there. Few things needs to improve:
DVD player needs a HDMI cable.
A few light bulbs were dead.
Fireplace didn’t work
Arcade machines shoot button doesn’t work

A/C Problems, Dirty Decks
The location of this property is really convenient. The little town of Taylorsville is close and has plenty of amenities. The pool is right next door and the lake views, not from this house, but up and down the road are very pretty. It had plenty of room for all of us. Now the problems. When we arrived the glass front door closing mechanism was off and the door was wide open and could not be closed....not the wood door. A trundle bed was broken and the upper bunk box spring had material hanging down toward the lower bunk. The outside decks were filthy. The one off of the kitchen area had a board that had warped and was lifted an inch or so on one end. No one would want to go out there. I contacted Cliff the property manager and he did have the maintenance crew out the next day to repair and clear all of the above to our satisfaction. However the deck on the ground level did not get cleaned and it was really bad with spider webs and dead leaves and just dirty. Like someone else mentioned, it seems a little strange that there is no bathroom on the bottom floor, but that certainly is not property management issue.
Now for our main problem. The A/C. The bottom floor was very cool, I am not sure what the temp was down there. The main floor....Kitchen, living room, 2 bathrooms and 2 bedrooms was hot. It never got below 78 on the thermostat on this floor. Upstairs is a bedroom with a bathroom. This room was unbearable. Cliff sent someone to change the filter the on the AC. That did nothing to help. The A/C unit froze up several times and we were asked to turn the A/C off until it thawed. This we did twice and the unit froze up again. This problem was not addressed for us. Cliff said the unit was new and was just replace a few weeks back. He did offer to send the A/C repair co but at 5pm the repair co. still had 3 calls to make, so I declined for that evening. The next morning we were leaving.
We did enjoy our stay. Thankfully we were gone during the hottest part of the days that we were there.

A mixed review
Pluses: The property itself was modern, roomy, well stocked, and close to the pool and clubhouse.
Minus: No half bath in the basement sleeping and seating area. Those sleeping downstairs had to come upstairs to use a toilet. This is not the best in the middle of the night.
Cleanliness: Mouse droppings were in the sheets that were on one of the queen beds downstairs. Photo was taken, and the management crew responded, came over, and remade the bed with clean sheets. It was a cold weekend, and we needed blankets; the management team gave us a code to get blankets from a basement storage room. There were mouse droppings all over that room. Bedding was stored in the open, not in plastic containers. Management brought additional bedding in plastic containers and many mousetraps. We got the feeling that they thought we were being picky since they asked where we were from.
Eight of the people who stayed (2 adults and 6 children) spent time in the hot tub. After the weekend, all 8 had red spots all over their torsos. The 3 who had not gotten in the hot tub had no red spots. After an Internet search, we diagnosed ourselves with hot tub folliculitis because the spots looked like the image online. One of the children had bad itching. After finding the treatment (new filter, sterilizing with bleach), I emailed the management company and told them about the problem, gave the treatment recommendations, and attached a picture of my granddaughter's torso. I did not hear anything back.
Because of our experience, we would be very hesitant to return or recommend the site without knowing that all issues had been taken care of. As a family of 11, we have stayed in a lot of different houses and never had an experience like this.
