Spectacular Lake Views | 3 Bedroom Lake Barkley Retreat | Weekday Pontoon Boat Included (seasonal)
Wake up to breathtaking views of Lake Barkley at this comfortable and spacious lake home located just off Highway 68.

The kitchen is fully stocked with basic cookware and everything needed for simple meal preparation during your stay. A standard drip coffee maker is provided, so feel free to bring your favorite coffee to start your mornings while enjoying the incredible lake view.
The property offers plenty of open space for outdoor activities, making it a great place to bring yard games or simply enjoy time outside with family and friends.

Perfect family fun spot to stay. Lucas was very helpful and gave us great advice on where to take the boat. The children loved the little smimmimg spot by our house. The night sky was great for star gazing. Overall great for family fun.
Everything was as described. Owner was great to deal with. He responded very quickly to any questions or concerns we had. Would definitely stay here again.
Location is close to everything you need for a relaxing getaway. The host is extremely responsive and knowledgeable of the area. We enjoyed everything about our stay and would absolutely stay there again!
Beautiful location, nice house and plenty of room for family. The pontoon was a great bonus we had a blast on the boat and did a lot of fishing. The host was fast at responding with questions and was very nice! The only suggestions I had was the bed needed more pillows and make sure your legs are strong for the spiral staircase lol.
We loved the lake access, sunset, grilling nightly! Clean white fluffy towels. Owner was super friendly and responsive -
Kids loved fishing off the docks
We can’t wait to go back
We came down to ride 4 wheelers at OHV Turkey Bay and the house was great distance to park and the safety of being able to leave our trailer to go into town was nice! Amazing views from house of the lake beautiful deck wigh grill and seating. Washer & dryer access is a BONUS!

I apologize for any inconvenience. I would love to know about this as soon as it happens. We have had multiple guests since your stay and no one has mentioned an issue. It's very important for guests to tell me when there is an issue. We have no way of knowing or resolving the issue without notice!
We enjoyed being so close to the lake. Enjoyed fishing, the overly friendly raccoon, and the huge groundhog that ran around. I don’t think those beds are queen size though. Probably more like fulls..
as I think stayed.

I happy to hear you enjoyed your stay. We have over 40 beds on the street and they are all queen size beds. This makes housekeeping alot easier. The only other option we offer is twins ans they are only in the over flow rooms of other properties. Thanks for choosing to stay with us.
Date getaway - first time to Land Between The Lakes
The best spot! Great view in the mornings and evenings and so close to the lake! Just walked down to fish! Convenient to anything we forgot and if we were too tired to cook there’s a great takeaway within walking distance. Safe neighborhood for walking and we had two dogs so we walked a lot! Very friendly neighborhood!
My son and his wife met my husband and I for a quick weekend getaway. It was perfect halfway point. This A-Frame house provided a nice cozy getaway. Parking was adequate for a number of vehicles, the house was clean, it was great being able to rent a pontoon thru the owner, who was very attentive and even told my husband we could put our paddleboards in off his boat dock and the views were spectacular at sunset. Nothing flashy, but a great stay.
We had a very comfortable stay. Kitchen had all the useful pieces for cooking in. House was very clean. Lake water was clean and refreshing to swim in. Views were lovely from the porch. We picked very well for a house at the lake. Sunsets were awesome. We rented kayaks. Everything worked out well. We visited the local coffee shop in Cadiz too!

Things to consider
My wife and I both feel it was overpriced for the conditions of the accommodations. It was by far the loudest house or hotel I have ever slept in. Consider adding the following to your rental, better knives, a can opener, a toaster and cleaning supplies.

Sounds like we are not the place for you. Can opener in kitchen drawer next to stove. Toaster in cabinet near stove. We stopped putting cleaning supplies in rentals years ago because they were getting stolen constantly. People will eventually steal everything you supply them with the thought of " well I paid for it". If you ask for something we will do our best to accommodate tho! Absolutely no idea what was loud, I went thru myself listening for anything loud and I asked the following guest and they had no idea and they left a 5 start review. The only thing they could come up with is if you are downstairs you can hear people walking upstairs. I agree they are basic steak knives, not chance in putting a $500 set of knives in a rental. Way too much customer distruction. We aren't a hotel at all so maybe this is the confusion. Sorry we aren't for you, we can only provide what is pictured and described. Walmart doesn't sell Lamborghini's, we aren't the Ritz.
First of all the location was larger than it appeared in the pictures. I were excited about this and the location as well as many little extras I did not expect. Outdoor areas are beautiful. Everything was very clean ( not always been my experience with VRBO) so that was wonderful.
It was quiet and peaceful, lots to do in the area and for the price we were absolutely thrilled. We were 100% Satisfied.
