First off I want to say overall the house was great. It was cozy with great decor and furniture. There is enough furniture for 10 people to stay in the house. It has a great riverfront view, only obscured by a few trees. The owner was super friendly and helpful. However, there are a few issues with the house we want to make potential renters aware of. First, the only bathroom is tiny. Only one person at a time could use it, though there is a door to separate the toilet. The shower is just a "cozy" stall. Second, the house must have been built for shorter people. The current owner did not build the house. The shower head is only about 5'7" high and all the mirrors in the house were 6 inches to low. We are tall (6') and larger. Third, apparently at certain times of the year, large branches and tree trucks wash ashore. There must have been literally 100s of branches and whole trees littering the shoreline of all houses, not just this one. This is not the owners fault, but be aware, it can hamper ability to jump in the river to swim. Finally, the house has a long, downward sloping driveway with no easy way to turn around that can be tricky to back out, especially at night (backup camera is VERY helpful).
Great lakefront property with private dock and boat lift! Boat launch is 3 minutes away and worked perfect for our 17â bass tracker. Watched bald eagles from the deck. Will stay again in the future.
My family and I needed a weekend get away and this house was perfect. Owners were great always checking in on us and were available for if we needed help really recommend this place to all my friends and family. This house wonât disappoint.
Carolyn was a wonderful host. We entered the home with soft music playing and cookies for snacking. She was available for any questions. The home is on the lake with beautiful views and the home itself is very cosy.
Beautiful scenery in a lovely location. Perfect for lounging with a good book or breakfast on the deck!
Indoors would benefit from updating in the kitchen and bathroom especially. We really enjoyed the great room, and the kitchen had plenty of dishes, etc.
If youâre looking for a good place to enjoy the lake, though, this is great!
The host was super to communicate with and supplied loads of towels. She even baked fresh cookies to welcome us! - they were excellent!
Beautiful home and great location on the lake and within driving distance of everything. Wide open concept kitchen living room and dining room with beautiful views of the lake. Definitely stay here again! Great communication with the owners and fantastic white chocolate chip cookies!
This is a nice house right on the water of Lake Barkley. There is a private dock that the kids played on the whole time. Swimming, fishing, kayaking(we had our own). The house is on an open cove so there is some boat traffic but most of it is across the inlet. There is a very quiet cove just around the corner that the kids loved kayaking and fishing in. There is a nice ladder on the dock for swimming. The kids practiced on a stand up paddle board and flipping over and re-entering kayaks in safety. The water area and the view from the deck are the best features and worth checking out.
The cabin is nicely appointed we even broke out the included ice cream maker and had the kids enjoy that! If you bring a family, we recommend bringing some plastic cups and paper plates. All the options in the kitchen were glass and I was a nervous wreck with the kids using them.
Communication was excellent from the owner. We definitely recommend.
Quiet, private, comfortable outdoor space. Homey, well-supplied indoor space with great views. Highlight of the stay was a bald eagle landing in a tree 20 yards from where I sat on the deck!
We had a very relaxing stay. Carolyn has everything you need for the perfect lake stay. She even had cookies waiting for us!! The view and the 2 patioâs were awesome. We will definitely book this again.
We had a wonderful time at the lake house. 4 adults and 2 children we had lots of room to spread out. Having 2 patio areas was nice.The view is beautiful.We took the boat and it was so convenient to dock and go up to the house if we needed anything. The kids enjoyed playing with their battery operated boat off the dockThere is a boat lift which was nice.My husband uses a walker and it was very easy for him to get around. We cooked in and had everything we needed.The beds were very comfortable.The house was very clean.Our grandchildren said this was one of their favorite places to come.We made great memories here!! Carolyn and her husband were a phone call away if we needed anything.There were fresh chocolate chip cookies for us to enjoy which was a nice touch they were delicious !! We will definitely rent this home again !!! Thank you for sharing your home with us !!
We had a blast staying at the lake. We brought our boat, went tubing, and swam off the dock. The cottage was in great shape and the kitchen had everything you needed to prepare meals. Would definitely recommend this stay to anyone.
We spent Christmas here. It was super cold outside during the polar freeze. The house was warm and comfortable. Carolyn is very responsive to questions or concerns. We highly recommend renting this house.
WE HAD A WONDERFUL TIME WOULD RENT THIS PROPERTY AGAIN. FIRST TIME TO LAND BETWEEN THE LAKES. OUR LONG WEEKEND TRIP INCLUDED A BEAUTIFUL FIRST SNOW DUSTING THAT MADE THE LAKE LOOK LIKE A CHRISTMAS CARD. THE FIREPLACE WAS A PLUS.
Great place to relax and get away from the hustle and bustle. Lake access is hard to beat. There is no wifi and cell service isn't great if those are important for your stay.
Peaceful, Beautiful and Relaxing!! Perfect location for a get away retreat!! Private dock located in a cove for your convenience and water activities. Located in a cul-de-sac.
