Above and beyond
Brett was amazing throughout our stay. There was a weather related issues during our stay and he reached out to ensure our safety. The house was perfect and then some. It was perfectly situated between everything we wanted to do, and was beautifully decorated and comfortable. It was peaceful to sit outside and enjoy our morning coffee. Host also went above and beyound to think of family activities offering several inside and outside games.The house was also very quiet and restful with super comfy beds. We highly recommend this house. If we come back to the area, this will be where we stay. This was the best home away from home for us.

Private, Quiet & Comfortable
Our stay was perfect. The host had thought of everything from leaving snacks (which was well received after a 7 hour drive) to a personalized welcome note. It was well decorated and super comfortable. We visit Lucas ever year for an event at Barren River State Park (which is right down the road) So we will definitely be back!! Highly recommend!

Dandy Times - excellent stay
A nice place and our stay was great. Dandy Times was as described and very convenient as we were in town for a yearly bass tournament. The garages were nice for being able to store the boat indoors. However the end garage is too short to accommodate a 250 Pro XS or pole poles. The location seemed to be very secure. The house itself was very clean, well kept and equipped. The host was more than helpful in making our stay enjoyable and complete. In order to make the feedback complete, if there was one item that would make Dandy Times even better it would be the addition of a half bath. Many thanks, you have a great place!

Retreat in the Country
Dandy Times was an incredible place to stay. The house was perfectly cozy for our family of 6, and the hosts thought of every detail in making their farmhouse feel like home. The kitchen was well stocked with everything we needed to prepare meals for our family. The beds were very comfortable, and it was great having a full sized washer and dryer. We enjoyed a fire in the solo stove and swinging on the front porch. This is a great place to stay, and the hosts made every effort to welcome us and make sure we were comfortable. We hope to stay there again in the future.

Peaceful Relaxation
Property and home were well maintained. The decor and furnishings made you feel nice and cozy. The games and books were a plus. We had some quality time there with some of our family and enjoyed Barren River Lake State Park. A lot of info given by owners about things to do and see and places to eat. Very accommodating couple.
