The lake and boat ramp are less than 40 yards directly in front of the house. A user friendly floor plan uses the living area to separate the master from the other two bedrooms. The large master bedroom has a spacious ensuite bath with separate tub and shower. The bedroom is furnished with a king size bed, window seat, a 32" TV and great lake views. The 2nd bedroom also has lake views and a queen size bed. The 3rd bedroom has two twin beds with nicely wooded valley views. The living room furnishings include: a wood-burning stone fireplace, a large screen TV with streaming wifi service, a game & 7puzzle table as well as a sleeper sofa for added sleeping capacity. The open concept living room / dining room / kitchen allows for great family get-togethers. There is a two level deck overlooking Kentucky Lake and the channel of the Tennessee River perfect for sitting, sunning, and watching the river traffic and beautiful sunsets over the water. The deck has a large propane grill for grilling while you enjoy the lake views. South of the cottage there is a fire pit on the lake side perfect to gather around and cook hot dogs and roast marshmellows. The covered front porch provides a nice valley view. There is also a carport for your car, truck or boat. There are four kayaks and a pedalboat to enjoy during your Kentucky Lake vacation. You will not want to leave!
High-speed fiber internet is provided, cell service is excellent allowing for 4G hotspot capability via your phone if needed. If you have a boat the easy ramp access in front of the cottage will be a real plus. If you desire to rent a boat there are 5 marinas/resorts within a 5 mile radius by water.

We so enjoyed our week at the lake! The house was cozy but spacious, with many ways for our family of six to be together or apart:) The water was warm and we enjoyed swimming and exploring the lake in the kayaks.

Great getaway for the whole family!

We were able to slip away and enjoy a great cottage on the water. The Lakeshore was perfect for our children to wade out and fish. We had everything we needed and our host were very helpful. Hope to get back down again and see more eagles.

We enjoyed our trips to the lake and around the community driving with the golf cart. We will definitely stay again if we are back in the area. Thank you for a wonderful Labor Day weekend trip with friends.

Fabulous stay at the Lakeside Cottage

We had a wonderful week at the Lakeside Cottage. The cottage was decorated nicely with a lake theme. It was comfy and cozy. We loved the view. We enjoyed boating, swimming, hiking and spending time by the fire pit at night. We couldn’t have asked for a better time at the Lakeside Cottage. The banana bread from Vince and Pat was delicious and a nice surprise.

Perfect spot for relaxing

My niece and I selected this spot to use an area base for . It was exactly as represented. Hosts were very responsive. Had it been warmer we would have attempted to use the paddle boat. Very comfortable home with a number of games amd puzzles provided. Would definitely stay again.

Wonderful spot for family getaway

My extended family recently stayed at this home -- 2 kids and 5 adults -- for a long weekend and have an amazing time. The house was very clean and the perfect size for our group. Every detail was well thought out and the hosts were exceptionally kind. There were lots of pots/pans/etc for cooking in the kitchen. The deck was beautiful for relaxing on and it was easy to access the water as well. My kids had a great time playing in the water and fishing. We highly recommend this home for a lake trip!

Wonderful getaway!

Vince and Pat are the perfect hosts. They went out of their way to think of everything their guests might need. We stayed in very cold weather so outdoor activities were limited by the cold, but our kids loved playing games and puzzles, having time together as a family. We enjoyed the fire and appreciated the home cooked baked goods upon our arrival. Thank you!

Nice lake get away.

Nice home, Great Lake view. Loved the fact that it had kayaks and a peddle boat but web never used them! Clean, nice extra touches. Only downside was that you are 40 minutes from anything. But come prepared and that is not an issue. Loved seeing the bald eagles!!

A Gem on Kentucky Lake

This was our second stay at this property on Kentucky Lake. Vince and Pat are great hosts that make you feel like family. We stayed the week before July 4 and for the most part felt like we had the lake to ourselves. We saw a bald eagle fly over most days which was a treat for us. We used the paddleboat and kayaks during sunsets which were stunning. We enjoyed wading and swimming in the water just outside the back of the property. We will be back again!

Awesome and Inviting

This house has it all. Just show up with your luggage and groceries. We felt at home the moment we stepped inside. Our hosts couldn't have been more friendly and helpful. Although we spent a great deal of time away from the property, the time spent there was relaxing and worry free. When the power went out, they updated us on restoration progress. We will definitely stay again if we come back to this area. A big thanks to Vince and Pat!!

Relaxing - peaceful -rejuvenating stay!

My husband and I enjoyed a weeklong getaway at the Lakeside cottage. The home was perfect. The hosts were outstanding! And the views were amazing. We enjoyed our morning coffee by the lake. Felt adventurous kayaking up and down the river. Enjoyed our daily walks up and down the shoreline. We saw so many bald eagles. And it was neat to see barges so close. And the sunsets were stunning! To top it all off, the hosts were excellent and made us feel so welcome. They were kind, generous, and so helpful. They were quick to respond to any questions I had. The banana bread to welcome us to the cottage was so appreciated. (And so good) We enjoyed meeting them and seeing them throughout our stay. I highly recommend this cottage. And we hope to return soon.

Beautiful Lakeside Cottage

The Cottage was exactly as pictured. Nicely decorated and it has EVERYTHING you will possibly need. The only thing you need is food and clothes. Don't overpack, like I did. They have everything from a crock pot to bug spray! We enjoyed spending mornings and evenings on the deck watching boats go by and just relaxing and taking in the views. We swam and fished right down the hill from the cottage. Definitely rent this cottage, you won't be disappointed. Vince and Pat go above and beyond to make sure you have what you need and they are quick to respond to any questions. We will absolutely be returning!! Thoroughly enjoyed our week! 🙂

Amazing

My husband and I were looking for a nice place to celebrate our 44th anniversary. And we found Lakeside Cottage. This cottage was everything we were looking for in comfort, coziness and relaxation. The inside was decorated so nice and warm. Everything listed on amenities was available, everything you can think of. Activities also available. This made for non-stressful packing and less worry. And then there is the lake view...WOW. So wonderful to eat meals or just relax on the deck and admire the lake view and its sunsets. Vince and Pat are so kind and gracious. They go above and beyond to make your stay delightful and enjoyable. From the fresh baked bread to encouraging a call for anything needed. They even texted us a happy anniversary...how cool. I highly recommend this little piece of paradise to others! Hope to make a trip back someday.

Friends & Family Vacation

This by far was our best vacation rental ever. The home is exactly as described. It was clean and very inviting. It was decorated so nicely and the beds and furniture are comfortable. We had 7 adults and two toddlers under 2. We had plenty of room. Vince and Pat were so nice and helpful in every way. On arrival we were delighted to find homemade bread on the table. ( yum!) They had a cute baby pool all ready for our littles on the deck a bin full of toys with more in a cabinet and tons of games and books. Booster seats and even floats for the lake. The view is amazing and the beach so close to the house is a big plus. It’s rocky so swim shoes are a good idea. Anything we needed was addressed quickly and with a smile. We truly feel like we made new friends. God Bless you Vince and Pat we can’t wait to visit again.

Beautiful property and wonderful owners.

The home was beautifully maintained and the cleanest vacation rental I have ever stayed in. The lake views and sunsets were incredible and the part of the lake the property is on was very quiet. Within two hours of our arrival I received a text from Vince making sure everything was satisfactory and offering to trailer the paddleboat and kayaks down to the lake. On day 4 the AC stopped working and of course it hit triple digits that day. They had someone there that afternoon to repair it, which if you have ever tried to get same day service from a heating/cooling company during a heat wave you know that is pretty remarkable. Did I mention the banana bread and smoked pork chops they brought us? Pat and Vince are warm, kind people who really care about making sure their guests are comfortable. If you are looking for a beautiful home on a beautiful lake this property is the one for you. Thank you Pat & Vince for a wonderful week!

About the host

Hosted by Vince & Patricia Griffin

Host profile image
We moved from Texas in 2010 to retire on the lake to be able to see unmatched sunsets and be close to family in Paris, Tn. We look forward to sharing this lake living experience with you.

Why they chose this property

This property is perfectly situated such that it juts out into the lake enabling lake views on three sides of the property especially in the winter when the leaves are gone. We purchased it and completely renovated it so the inside could be enjoyed as much as the outside. This is a special lakeside setting situated close to the junction of the Tennessee River, the Big Sandy River, Standing Rock Creek, and Short Creek with a Wild Life Refuge just across the lake. The lakeside cottage is located on the widest section of Kentucky Lake.

What makes this property unique

The "lakeside cottage" has been decorated with a coastal theme bringing together the colors of driftwood, water and sunlight. The hill the cottage sits on provides great lake views and steady breezes from the lake on the west and serene valley views from the covered porch on the east.
