THE BLUESTONE COVE RETREAT on Kerr Lake:Gentle Slope/Sandy Cove, Game-Ready Yard

Welcome to The Bluestone Cove Retreat, your premier, family-friendly destination on the quiet waters of Kerr Lake. Unlike the steep properties typically found here, we offer the best combination of easy lake access, a tranquil location, and space for the activities your group desires. Sleeping up to 12 guests across 4 spacious bedrooms, this is the perfect lake home for families and fishing groups looking for quality time and guaranteed comfort.

________________________________________________

★ Three Reasons Guests Choose Bluestone Cove Retreat ★

1. EFFORTLESS LAKE ACCESS (GENTLE SLOPE GUARANTEED!)

Say goodbye to exhausting, steep steps! Our property features a gentle slope from the house to your private dock—making access easy and enjoyable for everyone.

2. PREMIER SWIMMING & DOCK AREA (SANDY COVE)

Enjoy the best of Kerr Lake swimming without the main channel wake. Located in a protected area of Bluestone Creek, our private cove is calm, quiet, and safe for swimming. The lake bottom in our area is notably sandy and gradual, providing a comfortable wading and swimming experience superior to muddy or rocky shorelines. Your private dock is ready for sunbathing, swimming, fishing, and docking your watercraft!

3. THE ULTIMATE GROUP SPACE (GAME-READY YARD)

Outdoor entertaining is effortless here. Our yard is large, flat, and equipped for fun! You'll find a full collection of yard games (Cornhole, horseshoe pits, Kan Jam) ready for hours of friendly competition. When the sun sets, gather around the fire pit area for S'mores and storytelling under the Virginia stars.

Great family lake vacation

We had a wonderful stay at this lake front property. The house accommodated 3 generations of our family. The basement was perfect for the teenagers and kids. They enjoyed the ping pong and air hockey tables. We brought our boat and enjoyed so much time on the water, as well as floating, swimming and fishing from the dock. The communication from the owner was excellent and we highly recommend this vacation rental.

Week at Kerr Lake

Overall we had a good time during our week here. The weather was cool for August and we had some rain but we still spent a lot of time on the water. This is a very quiet part of the lake on a side creek. The dock was good for swimming and we had no issues mooring a 25 foot tritoon there. The interior of the house was more dated than we expected but things still worked and it was clean. There is a very nice new big screen TV. The outside of the home did not look as if it had been cleaned recently as there were lots of cobwebs. Matt was very responsive. There are three homes in the same field and the neighbors let their large dog run free. She was friendly but we still had to check before letting young children outside.

We stayed at this property for Lakefest. It's quiet, clean, and close to Clarksville. Loved the shady, private walk to the beach and all the amenities. Such a quiet cove for small children to swim and enjoy the water. Internet was spotty, but otherwise great stay!
