"As I sit here writing my thank you letter, I am very sad... What a wonderful experience.. beauty everywhere - sitting on the deck gazing at the river daily made me very happy. You are so kind, Brenda - you accepted mu Jackson, you cooked for me for me, you checked on me to make sure that my life was rolling smoothly and you became my friend. I'll never forget the River Cottage. It was the perfect place to adjust from Seattle to Kentucky. I was very lucky to find you." Tommie 10/31/21
"Thank you for a quiet haven. Enjoyed the stay, especially the back deck overlooking the water!! Thank again!"
"The cottage is paradise. Everything I need is here. Being on the Kentucky River and watching it peacefully flow downstream is beautiful. If I look up I'll see hawks. If I look across the river I see a waterfall. I shall return... very soon. Brenda is like a Guardian Angel!"
"My husband and I had a very peaceful time here for our 31st Anniversary! Can't believe how time flew by! We enjoyed the cottage the coziness of it all, Brenda is a wonderful host! Thank you for the card & fresh cut flowers! Zip-lining was a blast we also did a kayaking trip in Red River Gorge which was fun! Really enjoyed the porch and being able to sit out by the water after a long day of having fun and making memories! I look forward to coming back in the future!"
"Thank you for a wonderful, quiet and peaceful three night stay. We certainly enjoyed our time here very much and we enjoyed the use of the cottage. The amenities were great; it was like home away from home. I love the special touches made to the cottage. Brenda was so sweet in surprising me with flowers and a card for our anniversary. She was a perfect "host! If the opportunity presents itself, I would love to come back!"
"My husband decided to last minute arrange a trip to do the Bourbon Trail for my birthday. Brenda is a wonderful host and her cabin was a much needed refuge, from the moment we saw the view the stress faded away. We look forward to returning!!"
"We enjoyed awakening to drink coffee in the morning mist of the Kentucky River as we relaxed & rejuvenated on the deck before heading off for our days adventures. Then, returning back to a peaceful rest, helping us recharge from our fast paced lives. Thank you for providing us with the great opportunity. It was such a blessing!"
"We had such a wonderful time! Miss Brenda is a treasure. What a beautiful place to kick back and relax. We hope to be back next year!"
"Enjoyed a week here! Planned this vacation to go to The Ark Encounter, Kentucky Kingdom, and hike the Natural Bridge. It rained a lot but we enjoyed games in the cottage!"
"We really enjoyed our long weekend here. Kayaking was fun on multiple days & even though my husband didn't catch any fish... he enjoyed the morning kayak attempts. We went to Proud Mary's BBQ two times - the brisket was the best. On Sunday we visited two wineries - Talon was the best! Plus they had live jazz on the lawn. It's not the closest winery but it was highly recommended and the drive was very pretty. We really appreciate the hospitality that Brenda showed us and we hope to visit again soon."
"Thank you for sharing this beautiful retreat, we really enjoyed our time here! Relaxing on the porch, zip lining at the Boone County Adventure, and exploring the area where the highlights of our trip! The Pepper Bourbon tour was great too! I'm so glad we got to meet you Brenda, you are so sweet and helpful - the notebook was useful too. We look forward to returning again with our girls, they would love this place!"
"We have enjoyed a very restful time here this weekend which was topped off when our son and 3 grand kids could join us for a visit, we hadn't seen them in person since Christmas 2019. This was a great place for some family time. It was a special treat to meet you when we arrived. Thank you for sharing your cottage with us."
"We had such a relaxing weekend here at this lovely cozy cottage. The new and the quietness was just perfect for a peaceful break from city life. We had a great time at the Kentucky Horse Park and exploring what Lexington has to offer. The house had everything we needed. My favorite part was the bidet! LOL love it. Thank you for everything. We hope to come back in the future + stay for longer!"
"This was our first visit to Kentucky, and we really enjoyed our stay here this past week. No better way to start and end the day than with the magnificent view of the Kentucky River out back. It was really nice to have Proud Mary BBQ, and many other options so close to the house. This location was really convenient to many wonderful experiences including downtown Lexington, hiking at Daniel Boone National Forest, the Arboretum, a tour of Keeneland race track, Buffalo Trace Distillery, and /Churchill Downs. We had a wonderful Baby Moon, and could not hesitate to return here in the future."
"This was the perfect place for our weekend get-a-way to a family wedding. Thank you for sharing it with us! We were able to relax, do some antique shopping and enjoy some local cafes."
This place has truly served as an oasis from home. As an engaged couple, this has been our first vacation along with a few other incredible firsts... like taking my man on his first ever trail ride on a horse and our first hike in the Kentucky mountains which was stunning. Thank you for your unending hospitality and for sharing this little piece of heaven with us! I hope to return, I hope to bring my future children and I pray this place stays just as you've kept it for many years to come.
Had a very relaxing weekend! Was impressed with the cleanliness and the view of the wall with the water coming out was simply beautiful! Thank you for being so kind. We truly did enjoy our time away from the city of Indianapolis!
We really enjoyed our stay at KY River Cottages. Very relaxing with beautiful scenery. Watching the river flow by is just the best. The hot tub was perfect on the chilly fall night. Home away from home. Thanks so much Brenda and Frankie!
The Hammond Family loved our little retreat. We are bird lovers and had a special treat here- loved the Carolina Wrens. I also loved watching the Turkey Vultures. I am sure there were many species we never saw, but also watched Carolina Chickadees, Pewees Kinglets, Cardinals, Bluejays, Black Birds, Magpies, Vireos, and one red headed wood pecker! Thank you for being wonderful hosts!
We really enjoyed our stay. This was our first trip since the COVID-19 pandemic started and your cottage was so clean and welcoming. We are so happy we chose it, this place feels like home and I am sure we will be back! Thank you for everything!"
