The property was very nice and we enjoyed staying there. We loved the lake views and firepit. The only thing that we had trouble with was the kayak ramp. One of the attachments to the dock was severed, and without railings, we were uncertain whether we could get the kayak back on deck after taking it out.

Spent 2 days at the Gray Dog Cottage! Fishing off the dock was really good! Lots of bluegill, crappie, baby bass, and a few catfish. Quiet area and in a cove so not alot of water traffic. Our kids enjoyed swimming at the dock and kayaking.Lots of great outdoor space for entertainment and to hang out. Beds were comfy and house was equipped with everything we needed. Very cleanA well taken care of older home and loved the 90s vibe of the place! Already planning to come back in the summer for an extended stay! Loved the location and vibe of the place!We definitely want to come back!

Our family thoroughly enjoyed our stay at the Gray Dog Cottage. The house was clean and well supplied with comfortable beds and pillows. The spacious deck gave us a beautiful view of the lake, and we had a great time kayaking off of the private backyard dock into Lake Barkley. The house is conveniently located for site seeing and other activities in the Land Between the Lakes area also. The owner left us several helpful suggestions for things to do during our stay. The cookie jar was full of fresh cookies on our arrival and they were delicious! We had a plumbing problem due to some work the water company did on the water lines during our stay, which caused the shower to stop running. The owners answered my call right away and were at the house to fix it within 45 min and had it working perfectly in about 30 min. We were very impressed with their prompt response. I would definitely highly recommend this house to anyone who does not have significant mobility limitations. The shower area is too small for someone who has need for a chair or much assistance, and as is often the case with lakefront property, there is a steep grade down to the lake, but I think this is pretty obvious from the photos.

What a wonderful lake house! Upon our arrival, Carolyn had some delicious cookies set aside to greet us, a binder full of useful information including restaurants and area things to do, and a printed sheet with local daily activities. The bedrooms were all individually unique, comfortable and spacious. The kitchen was well stocked which was appreciated as I cooked several meals during our stay. Carolyn was easy to communicate with. We didn’t have any problems during our stay, but I know we would have had a quick response if anything came up.
