About this property
15 mins from Ark Encounter! The Happy Lake Cottage
6 miles from Ark Encounter! Panoramic lake views from every angle of this dreamlike cottage.
Enjoy sitting lakeside in the rocking chairs on the new screened-in porch, or watch the sun set over the water down at the dock on the Adirondack chairs surrounding a SoloStove fire pit.
Perfect for couples looking to get away and families wanting to boat, fish, or swim. 2BR, 1BA, Sleeps 6.
45 mins to Creation Museum, Kentucky Horse Park or Newport Aquarium!
Rental does not include boathouses.
The space
The cottage is 700 SF with an additional 300 SF screened-in porch. 2 identically sized bedrooms, both with full beds, antique dressers, nightstands, charging stations, ceiling fans and roman shades. The living room has a sofa with a queen memory foam pull-out bed.
The beautiful porch includes two ceiling fans, a dining table for 6, 50" smart TV, luxurious padded conversation set and two rocking chairs from which to enjoy your morning coffee or catch up on your reading.
Step outside to the outside deck outfitted with picnic table, patio table and Weber gas grill. It doesn't end there! Stroll down another 25' of gentle slope to the waters edge and enjoy the third deck of the cottage!
Your rental includes life jackets and use of a kayak.
Guest access
Guests have access to the entire home and outside spaces.
Other things to note
Steep gravel driveway. Light vehicles and/or front wheel drive vehicles may struggle. If you have any concerns about your vehicle not making it back out of the driveway, please park on the side of the road by the mailbox.
The road leading to the cottage is a one lane gravel road. If you encounter another car along the way, you will need to pull into the shoulder to get around.
