I posted earlier about renting this lakefront cabin on Nolin Lake, KY over Easter weekend. I drove to the meeting location, from which I followed the owner over about an hour of country roads to the cabin. When we arrived, she led my car up past the cabin to two FEMA trailers and led me into one of them, announcing, "I'm putting you all in the trailers." I asked, "What about the cabin?" to which she replied there were wasps in the cabin. I told her my daughter and her family would be disappointed, and I at least wanted to see the cabin. She fumbled around and took me down to see it reluctantly. I saw one dead wasp, and asked her to leave me the key to the cabin, which she did reluctantly. She has it for sale, with a realtor sign out front. I think she wanted to keep it vacant for that reason primarily. I was miffed when the owner left, and managed to get a cell phone signal to call my daughter and tell her not to come, relating the story about the wasps. Daughter said they were coming. I showed them the cabin and daughter and husband stayed in the cabin two nights, with only one wasp. Twin grandsons and I stayed in one of the trailers, saw two wasps.
The advertisement for the cabin showed a lovely lakefront view...NOT! The lake was not accessible or even visible, though there was a very long gravel road which dead-ended at a muddy heap, with still no lake view or access.
The owner called me this morning, asking that I leave her a positive review on the rental ad on the Internet. I was nice to her, but I honestly cannot leave a review.
The twins and I did go fishing at the Nolin Lake marina, about a half hour drive from the cabin. We had a nice time visiting.

Wow, what a disappointment about the cabin. It sounds like you did manage to have a good time, though, and make some lemonade out of the lemons, so good for you!

LOL, Lizzy.."lemonade out of lemons!"
So true.

WOW, sorry about your trip. If you all ever decide to come back to the area, you might want to try a state park. I've stayed at Barren River Lake and their cabins are on the lake.

hon I would leave a review but certainly not a positive one. other people need to know that whatever is being said about the place is just not true. just think if you had read a bad review...you would not have spent your money on that. guess I am just one that don't like to let others take advantage of me anymore.
