Great lakefront property with private dock and boat lift! Boat launch is 3 minutes away and worked perfect for our 17’ bass tracker. Watched bald eagles from the deck. Will stay again in the future.
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!
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 patio’s were awesome. We will definitely book this again.
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!
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 you’re 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!
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 !!
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.
Gorgeous lake view and a peaceful atmosphere. The house was beautifully decorated and so inviting. We loved relaxing on the dock and enjoying late-night fires overlooking the lake. We truly loved our stay.
This lake house was everything I hoped it would be. It was wonderful to get away for the hustle and bustle, so peaceful and the view of the lake was beautiful.
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 won’t disappoint.
What a wonderful lake house! Upon our arrival, Carolyn had some delicious cookies set aside to greet us, a binder full of useful information including restaurants and area things to do, and a printed sheet with local daily activities. The bedrooms were all individually unique, comfortable and spacious. The kitchen was well stocked which was appreciated as I cooked several meals during our stay. Carolyn was easy to communicate with. We didn’t have any problems during our stay, but I know we would have had a quick response if anything came up.
