THE COTTAGE

The architect's plan for this refurbished, lovely stone cottage, positioned with truly the greatest view of the main Lake, was to create the ultimate retreat for couples or friends in search of unmatched location and prime fishing. The perfect base from which to explore Kentucky Lake has successfully been constructed. The 680 square-foot lake front area of its deck offers spectacular sunrises without another structure in sight - only a calm unspoiled setting - the lake and nature. This majestic environment seems complete as visitors experience the remarkable image of a Bald Eagle reflected on the water as it soars in to perch on the branch of a surrounding tree. The wrap around deck totals 1100 square feet and is the ideal place to discover the beauty and serenity of Kentucky Lake by the light of day or under a starry sky at any season of the year. There is no more beautiful setting to begin or end your visit to the Lake. Conveniently located only 13 miles from Murray State University. We do include Free WiFi.

While the cottage's design maintains a rustic mood special attention has been paid to provide distinctive quality furnishings and unique amenities that ensure the guests' comfort and a restful visit. The top floor of the cottage has a cathedral ceiling. The living space and dining area feature a grand stone fireplace and floor to ceiling windows that share the main deck's great views. Two well appointed queen bedded rooms and a full bath are also upstairs. Downstairs with a separate entrance is a quaint twin bedded room with a full bath, as well as a laundry facility.

Enhancing and maintaining quality is a happy necessity that keeps our customers returning. Ensuring that every season be one of great memory making feature a custom boat dock adjacent to the cottage with an on property boat rental. A very thoughtful process of considering what features make for the best waterfront experience has brought about many conveniences with the addition of the deluxe dock.

First, There is the Access - Here there is no steep slope or long trek to your boat. Being only one hundred feet away, step out the door and be on the dock in a minute or less. Please note: Lake levels are Gov't controlled and may be lower during non peak season. Minimum 357ft. lake level required for boat rental.

Coverage and Quality are Redefined – Equipped with an attractive and highly functional hip roof, superior protection from the elements is ensured. Not only is the aluminum decking non-slip, but it is splinter free.

Then, there is the Relaxation & Recreation – If after a day out you return full of the sense that exploring and playing on the lake can be both fun and hard work, here is the place to reflect on the day you have had and contemplate tomorrow’s plans. Having a 12x28 swim platform complete with a retractable ladder makes this the spot to share a fun and rejuvenating break lounging, sunbathing or swimming.

We cannot forget the Exceptional Fishing Possibilities - Many of the cottage’s guests return to revisit the location right on our lakefront where they have had very rewarding days fishing for blue gill, bass, crappie, and catfish. We are confident that their future visits will leave them happily convinced and surprised that their past successes here have been surpassed.

The Property Boat Rental: Several well-equipped boats are available to guests at special rates. It is one more convenience, and can add hours to vacation time on Kentucky Lake. There is no drive to and from a marina to collect and return a boat. For a rental over multiple days how great it is to have the driving completely eliminated? Imagine instead the pleasure of a sunrise breakfast ending seamlessly with a stroll across the lawn to board the boat that awaits you at your private dock. Effortlessly, straight from the comfort of your cottage a day out on the lake begins...

While visitors may be satisfied to not leave the property during their stay, there are many great experiences to be found locally:

FISHING: The fish are surely not hard to find, but for visitors with the goal of maximizing their fishing experience the owners have established relationships with the areas most knowledgeable guides. We are delighted to introduce guests to any one of these specialists who have each made it his life's passion to master and uncover this lake’s greatest features - impressive fishing opportunities and a wide array of wildlife. They are at the disposal of the expert or the novice and promise anyone wishing to learn and have the mysteries of Kentucky Lake revealed a day that will long be remembered.

GOLF: In addition to the satisfaction a day on the water offers, just a 15 minute drive away is Miller Memorial Golf Course - considered to be one of the finest golf courses in west Kentucky's lakes region, it presents many challenges for even the most seasoned golfer.

LAND BETWEEN THE LAKES: Guests have a direct view of the Land Between the Lakes from the cottage itself. It's just a 15 minute drive away. It is a national recreation area with 170,000 acres of wildlife, history, and outdoor activity opportunities, surrounded by 300 miles of undeveloped shoreline. LBL’s Elk & Bison Prairie is a 700-acre restoration of Kentucky’s native barrens. The Homeplace is an 1850’s working farm where west Kentucky’s history comes alive - Interpreters in period clothing demonstrate on a daily basis the chores and activities of another time. There are special events and festivals for every season. On another day one might return to explore the 200 miles of trails, the Nature Station, or the Golden Pond Planetarium & Observatory.

Cozy stay - close to nature.

This was a perfect stay for me and my dog…warm fireplace, Cozy cabin, comfy beds, all the necessary kitchen tools, responsive hosts, and nature’s wonders! My favorite site were the two bald eagles I saw outside sitting in the tree in the yard! I would definitely recommend this location.

This house is very cozy and well decorated. Large deck overlooking the lake. Comfortable furniture and lots of windows to bring the outside in. It is tucked in the woods and although there is another on one side you still feel secluded. We loved our stay here and will definitely come back.

The best vacation we have had!!

From start to finish, we had the best stay! We live in Louisville and decided to travel closer for vacation this year, since we are taking a cruise in October. And I’m SO glad we did! The check in process was excellent, the cabin was cleaned and stocked with everything we need for cooking/cleaning! Paul rented us a boat for our stay and the kids had the best time tubing! (It was my first time too) we cruised up to Burger Barn for dinner; which was delicious and excellent pricing. We had the best views of the sunrise, and every morning we tried to get our their on our paddle boards! We had a surprise visitor on the lake with us; an armadillo!! He swam right next to us, so cool, another first for us! Pam and Paul were gracious, kind, and always there right away for our questions we had! Couldn’t have asked for a better, more fun trip filled with great fun, food, activities, sights, and more! We can’t wait to come back again for all seasons!! :)

Wonderfully Relaxing

My husband and I along with our dog loved our stay! First and foremost, the view is wonderful! We saw deer, eagles, pelicans and squirrels. Cottage was exceptionally clean with wonderful attention to details from the welcome basket to the fresh spices in the kitchen. Gracious, welcoming hosts that provided timely communication. Overall, one of the best VRBO spots we have vacationed. Thanks Pam and Paul for a very special trip that we will always remember.

Absolutely Perfect

Perfect spot for our 5-day getaway with our two dogs. Waking up to the lake view each morning was a great way to start the day. (We were even lucky enough to have a bald eagle hanging out on the property.) The cottage was stocked with everything we needed to feel at home—including a thoughtful treat basket for both us and our pups! We enjoyed every moment and look forward to returning in the future. The town is really cute and an easy drive if you want to explore the area around Murray State.

Quiet, beautiful, relaxing!

Pam and Paul are spectacular! The view is beyond beautiful. We rented one of the boats and Paul is the best instructor - EVER! Visit the Murray Farmers Market - it is a must. Everyone is so nice, friendly and makes you see that the town is a place to consider living! We were told the Marina had the best 'Burgers' and it is true! Actually all of the food at the Marina is wonderful. The drinks . . . are even better. If anyone tells you to go visit the 1880's Settlement - let us save you the trip and the expense - food at Patti's is less than desirable, expensive, and the workers are less friendly than anyone you will meet in Murray. Dinner for 4 over, with 1 drink, and 2 desserts over $200.00. Two of us did not even eat more than 2 bites of the 'pork chop' and was still on the table when the desserts were delivered. The Stone Cottage and Murray is a must and we bet that the view in the fall - when the leaves are changing is breathtaking.

Lake get-away

The cottage was perfect for me, my husband and our 11 y/o son. I have never stayed in a rental as clean as this cottage was! Immaculate! The owners go above and beyond with communication, welcoming arrival and all the extra’s that are provided, such as basket of snacks (our son had nothing but toes hanging out of it), spices, foil, baggies, hand soap, paper towels and so much more that we have always had to provide ourselves when renting! The air conditioner was plenty cool for the very hot and humid days and the water for showers was plenty hot and we all 3 were able to shower without running out of hot water! We rented the boat for 3 days and after the first day adjusting to where we could go and where to avoid, we had a blast the other two days fishing, tubing (we did provide our own tube) and going to marina for lunch!! We saw many deer and our son loved “honking” with the geese that are frequently in the lake and yard! We night fished off the dock where my son caught what we would guess was a 6lb cat fish, we throw all ours back, and plenty of blu gill!! My husband and I are definitely looking at a visit for just the two of us!

Perfect Getaway!

Our family of 4 stayed at the Stone Cottage over the week of the 4th of July. We had such a great time and cannot wait to come back!! Honestly everything was thought of! My oldest loved having his own space/entrance downstairs. Thank you so much for the basket of snacks - my boys devoured them and it was such a sweet touch. There is a Walmart about 20-25 minutes away and I was excited to find out that they deliver groceries! I had groceries for the week delivered the morning following our check-in, which was such a huge help and saved us from having to make the trip into town. The kitchen was fully stocked with everything you need to cook in and also to grill out back. We watched some DVDs & movies in the evenings. While there was no Smart TV where we could log into our Netflix/Amazon, etc. to stream - there was a great movie channel selection thru DirecTV. The back deck was wonderful - it's truly a million-dollar view! We loved the private and quiet setting. We used the outdoor table for eating and lounge chairs for reading. Much time was spent outside on the back deck and also on the dock. We also rented their boat for the week and had a blast. Our two teenage boys were able to tube and fish. Thank you so much for letting us rent your beautiful cottage. We cannot wait to come back! I think fall would be so beautiful with the trees and changing leaves!

This place was amazing! The property was beautiful, comfortable, and had everything we needed for a relaxing stay. One of the best parts was being able to fish right on the property—and the fish were really biting! That made the trip even more special.
