About this property
Built in 2021 - 5 BR/4 BA Lakefront in Grand Rivers -The Only City on Both Lakes
This new lakefront cottage constructed in 2021 is on a small bluff with year round views of Kentucky-Barkley Lake in a private wooded setting in the quaint Little Lake Village subdivision in downtown Grand Rivers. The one-level cottage is finished in high quality, coastal cottage architectural style and has many upgrades including 6 foot tall Pella windows, porcelain tile that looks like wood and 9 to 13 foot ceilings in all rooms. The lakehouse borders Little Lake Park and is naturally connected to the lake and surrounding woods through an 800 square foot outdoor sun deck and covered porch all with composite decking and white railing overlooking the lake.
The lakehouse is perfect for 4 couples plus 8 kids or 5 couples having 3 bedrooms that are en suites with king beds and their own private full bath room. The 4th bedroom has a king bed and shares a common hall full bath while the the 5th bedroom is great for kids and has 1 queen, 2 full and 2 single beds.
I have unlimited free AT&T 1 GIG Fiber internet with speeds up to 1,350 Mbps and many streaming services which may include YouTube Live TV, Disney+, Hulu, Prime Video, ESPN+, etc. Modern amenities include 6 wall-mounted 4K TVs (75" / 55"), washer and dryer, a fully-equipped kitchen/750-sq.-ft. great room with 13 foot vaulted ceilings and 10 different 6 foot tall Pella windows overlooking the lake and dimmable LED can lighting in all rooms.
The large master bedroom suite has a separate shower and tub and double vanity sink and walk-in closet / separate ventilated crib room. Porcelain tile that looks like weathered wood is in every inch of all interior floors and is thoroughly cleaned and sanitized between each stay.
This is a perfect location for a large family getaway, vacation with several families, retreat, business trip, fishermen and boaters. There is a very large driveway with a pull-through semi-circle drive perfect for vehicles and boat trailers near the street that can accommodate over 10 vehicles and / or boats and has multiple outdoor electric hook-ups to charge boat batteries.
The owner has 2 other lakehouses with nearly identical floor plans 100 yards away (VRBO #242128 and #1035898) and can be rented in conjunction with this listing and can jointly accommodate up to 50 people for very large gatherings.
Picturesque Grand Rivers: Grand Rivers is located between 218,000-acre Kentucky Lake and Lake Barkley, the nation's largest man-made body of water. In 2009, Grand Rivers was named the 8th best small town in the South by Southern Living Magazine. The main entrance to 180,000 acre Land Between the Lakes National Recreation Area with 500 miles of hiking and biking trails is 1 mile from the lakehouse.
The cottage overlooks the Grand Rivers Walking Trail which runs under a large canopy of old growth hardwood beside the back part of Green Turtle Bay on Lake Barkley, which the locals refer to as Little Lake. Adjacent Little Lake Park offers a newly constructed children’s playground, free Saturday night concerts in the summer with live bands, and periodic outdoor festivals and car shows.
November through early January, Grand Rivers is at its best with its festival of lights that extends to the lakehouse along Little Lake Park as well as Horse drawn carriage rides and of course Santa at Patti's!
The cottage is a short walk to everything in Grand Rivers including Green Turtle Bay Marina & Lighthouse Landing Sailboat Marina (where motor boat, jet ski and sailboat rentals are available), Patti’s 1880s Settlement, T Lawson's Pub, Thirsty Turtle Tavern, Craig's Dairy Dream, Cabin Pizza, the Branson-style Badget Village Playhouse Theater, Village Market & Café grocery store, Village Liquors, antique and other retail stores, mini-golf, rock-wall climbing and much more.

An outstanding property and a marvelous weekend in Grand Rivers! Everything from booking to checking out (including necessary communication with the owner) was flawless and we could not have asked for a better place. It is a beautiful house and we will not hesitate to stay there once again. One of the very best of the MANY VRBO properties I have reserved...HIGHLY RECOMMENDED!

Liked: Check-in, location
Disliked: Cleanliness
The location is great. The layout of the house is perfect for a large group. Our only complaint was cleanliness. We had 3 small kiddos with us so it would have been nice if the floors had been a little cleaner. And the sheets didn’t smell fresh either.
Great place for a large group. Plenty of space for everyone and walking distance to town. House was very clean and beds are comfortable. Will stay again!
Nice central location between the lakes. Very spacious house, clean and well maintained. We had 10 adults and it had everything we needed. Beds are comfortable, plenty of bathrooms and showers, TV's everywhere. This is the 2nd year we booked with this host and everything went great.
The stay at this location was excellent. Great walking access to downtown Grand Rivers. The location was peaceful and we enjoyed watching deer and turkeys every morning and evening. The location was quiet but close to creature comforts. Being close to the local grocery store was super handy.
The host was most accommodating, friendly and personable. The home has many new amenities since we were there last year. New outdoor furniture so we could appreciate the outdoors, view and lovely view. Property is well maintained with everything you need. Just pack your bag and food and come enjoy this beautiful home. Location is always a plus as well. Lots of shopping, good food and atmosphere is a plus . We can’t say one negative thing about our stay and have already booked next year . ,
The lakehouse is beautiful! Our stay was wonderful, we had everything we need. And everwhere you wanted to go was close. The beds are comfy and plenty of hot water! We will definitely be back!
This was a great rental for our large family. Plenty of space to spread out! We enjoyed the proximity to town. A great place to stay and great communication!
We will definitely book this home again! It had everything we needed, very clean and modern home in a great location!

About the host
Hosted by Todd Thomason
I am the owner and developer of Little Lake Village subdivision in Grand Rivers, Kentucky. I also developed nearby Marina Village Condos.
While I live in St. Louis with my wife and 2 daughters, I am a native of Western Kentucky and grew up bass fishing on Kentucky-Barkley Lake and duck hunting nearby.
Many of my relatives are originally from and still live in the immediate area in and around Grand Rivers, so the location has special meaning to me and the whole Thomason family.
Why they chose this property
I strongly prefer Grand Rivers as the small-town atmosphere and location on both lakes makes me feel like I am on vacation with most amenities that I need within walking distance of the lakehouse (several restaurants including 500 seat Patti's, T Lawson's Saloon, Cabin Pizza, antique shops, Branson style theater, grocery, bank, ice cream shop, boat rental, $1 million walking trail connecting both lakes, golf cart rental, golf carts are legal to be driven on public streets in Grand Rivers, park, summer concerts, etc.).
My idea of relaxation and vacation is being at the lake with many activities to choose from both on the lake and off of the lake.
Grand Rivers truly offers more to do and options than anywhere else on either Kentucky Lake or Lake Barkley in my opinion.
What makes this property unique
This lakehouse is my newest personal vacation property on my favorite lakefront lot and has many developer upgraded features including 3 en suite style bedrooms, 13 foot vaulted ceiling, lots of windows, lots of trees and a beautiful sun deck and covered porch. My new lakehouse is perfect for 4 families / extended families with lots of kids or 5 couples. I designed my lakehouse during COVID and have gone to great lengths to maximize cleanliness for my guests being located in the small town of Grand Rivers that has many basic services without all of the crowds.
