First pulling up the house is very nice! The drive way is VERY STEEP and was a bit scary backing down it. The house was amazing and the view spectacular!
Enjoyed our girls weekend, we was disappointed with the Cabin, it truly needs a room to room cleaning. Mattress slept well, living space was big enough for our group, kitchen/ dining was well stocked and seated everyone, They had plenty of bath towels and wash clothes. Deck needed cleaning to set out and enjoy the outdoors, during mid day, fireplace in living room would have been nice to be able to use at night but was not available to use.
We had a great weekend over all in the cabin, just was disappointed with the cleanliness of the cabin.
Enjoyed the lake all day and able to come back to the dock and enjoy lake views from the porch. Kids fished from dock and played games on lower level. Lots of space and beds for a large group.
We loved the house overall. We were surprised by how steep the driveway was then had some difficulties getting the coded lock to open but one of our group eventually got it. Once we got in we were very impressed with the spaciousness and comfort of the house. The beds were all really comfy and the showers were great.
We also had some trouble getting the gas grill to work but then just ended up cooking on the stove instead and eating out the 2nd night instead. We really only spent time sleeping here since we spent our days riding UTVâs at Turkey Bay. It was a great space that was available when we needed it. Weâd love to come back and spend some time on the lake as well. Thanks for sharing your house with us!!
This place was perfect for family. The grandkids had so much fun swimming off the dock and plenty of room to spread out in the house. We had perfect weather and enjoyed relaxing on the porches.
This trip was exactly what we needed! The host had excellent communication, and we couldnât have asked for a better stay.
The house was large enough to fit our extended family, and the lake was great!
Such a wonderful vacation with some great memories!
This was an absolutely lovely home and perfect for our needs. We absolutely loved the patios and the dock and took advantage of the kayaks to explore the lake. There were plenty of beds - which made some of the rooms cramped, but lots of beds is a major reason we chose this home. The home was also well stocked - a laundry room with plenty of spare bedding and towels, a kitchen with all the major gadgets and a few less popular ones, and seating in multiple areas. There were a few quirky/upkeep things that made it less than perfectly comfortable (e.g. the thermostat responses to settings was confusing and would regularly reset; the front screen door could use some TLC; one of the rooms had the vents closed, making for a very cold night), but they were all minor enough that I didn't feel justified knocking off a star. All in all we had a wonderful visit and we already have family members asking to go back!
This house was perfect for our family reunion and Thanksgiving get together. In total we had 9 adults, 2 teens, 2 pre-teens, and 1 elementary age child. The house was clean and nicely decorated. There were tons of handy bonuses, such as buffet crock pots, lots of kitchen gadgets, etc. We had a little trouble with the smoke detectors and the main TV. Home owners tried to trouble shoot them for us, but we ended up doing without the big game on Thanksgiving. The back decks and the bunk beds could use some maintenance, as the bunks were very wobbly and the back decks had some nail/screws that appeared to be pulling out. I wouldn't exactly trust the railings to prevent a fall until they're attended to. Overall, we really enjoyed our stay and would absolutely consider a repeat of all the family is available again.
And yes, to echo others, the driveway is steeper than you'll imagine. We cleared the wet fallen leaves from it before driving or walking on it to be sure there were no issues with sliding.
We had a wonderful time with plenty of room for our family of 13 adults and 4 toddlers. Loved sitting on the back deck in the evenings.
Shannon and Jeff werenât kidding about the steep driveway and long walk down to the dock - made a good workout!
The area was great and being very close to the marina came in handy.
Thanks for sharing your home.
Jeff and Shannon Gabbert are your hosts. We have been married for 12 years, The Lake House was our dream house. We have spent the last 10 years renovating it from foreclosure. It has been an amazing journey and we are so proud and happy to share our home with you!
This property offers ample space for a large group. We have 7 bedrooms, 5 baths and a large game room. Two decks offer plenty of seating, and a great view of the lake. Located on a quiet cove on Lake Barkley.
This house is located 3 miles off the main channel, with plenty of space for skiing, wake boarding, or just dropping anchor to fish. Just a quick boat ride from Moon River Marina which offers live music on Saturday nights, full restaurant/bar and a small convenience store.
