Great Visit!
The property was wonderfully located, both in relation to highways to activities and to kayaks out into the Lake. Beds and rooms were well furnished, clean, and comfortable. Plenty of entertainment options for the whole family on-site. Kitchen well equipped. We loved our stay! Would definitely book again if we’re looking in the area.

Loved the Kayaks
The reason we booked this property was because it included free kayak usage. We thoroughly enjoyed them. Also, we had some good family time around the fire pit. One issue we had was with the driveway - it is steep, but it was much better than parking on the road; we didn't have any trouble with it, but the first time going in was unnerving. someway

Great Stay but Watch Out for Evolve Property Management Company
Overall great visit and I would stay again. All communication was great and check in very easy. Inside was clean, well appointed, and in great shape. King bed we used was nice and comfortable. Although inside was great, outside was in need of a major cleaning. Lots of dirt, dead bugs, old spider webs and mud dauber nests everywhere on walls, windows and doors. Even with outside cleaning needed still nice property with great outdoor amenities available. The driveway is very steep and could be iffy for any car without decent bottom clearance. This property is managed by a commercial company, Evolve, that I was not happy with. Reason is that I initially made a 6 day reservation 10 months in advance and needed to add a 7th day (a Monday) about 2 months out. Because Evolve detected an event being held in the area (per their rep I was communicating with) they raised the price of adding the one additional Monday night 64%, yes 64%, from the initial rate. That is ridiculous price gouging. Even though we enjoyed this property and would recommend it, I will look to avoid Evolve managed properties in the future if this how they treat customers.

Great Family Trip
House was great and fit our needs. We were able to bring our dogs and get some family time. Too cool and windy to enjoy the kayaks or fishing. We were able to hike and horseback ride and visit the Elk and Bison Preserve and Planetarium. Also enjoyed the fire pit.

Pelican Bay Retreat
It was nice to be on the lake and we made the most of it. But the driveway is extremely difficult to navigate, the pictures made the home look open and airy and it wasn't, the outdoor sitting areas had to be cleaned before using them and the house has many small transitional levels making it difficult for older folks. The listing needs to more accurately reflect the reality.

Lake Cottage for a Summer Getaway
We met another family for a couple night stay in June at this property. Overall, it was extremely clean and had a great experience. My husband had trouble finding the location as it’s in a tighter, windy street and is perched on the side of a hill. The driveway was quite steep and decided to back in. The bonfire area was very convenient and close to the house. The dock was well maintained. There were more neighbors out and about so keep in mind if you’re looking for a more secluded place.

Weekend golf trip
I met 3 of my brothers here for a golf weekend. There are 3 bedrooms, 1 with bunk beds, and that was good with us, 4 adults. The house is older but was clean and in order. Plenty of towels, washcloths, etc. No hairdryer or shampoo but we brought our own. The dock is new but we didn't have a boat so didn't use that. Firepit was nice in the back yard. Plenty of wood to burn. Everything worked! TV, dishwasher, hot water, etc. We really enjoyed our stay, you will too.

Overall cute place to stay especially because of the outdoor fun. We walked around the property (our dogs loved it), went kayaking, and had several bonfires under the twinkle lights stretched across the backyard. Also, the neighbors were super friendly!

Host is very accomodating
The house and outdoor areas are a good size for our group of 5. The beds and linens were nice. We made use of the grill but be sure you know to bring charcoal :) We enjoyed the use of the dock and the kayaks. There was a lot of firewood for enjoying the firepit. We always appreciate a pet friendly rental.

Beautiful cabin right on the water!
Very clean inside, plenty of room, new appliances. Nice seating area outside by charcoal grill, and outstanding fire pit out back. Only drawback was wet firewood, but can’t help the rain. We were able to pick some up in town no problem. Early check in wasn’t an issue, great communication with owner.

Great week with friends!
We stayed July 12-19. It was a very relaxing trip. We had three couples and a small dog. The lakehouse was very accommodating and very clean and tidy. The kitchen had lots of cookware and utensils. The fridge was very large and the new stove was really great to cook on. The beds were pretty comfy. The showerhead was very low in the bathroom attached to the one bedroom. We had to shower on our knees or lean over to even get our heads under the water. Halfway through the week, the flies got pretty bad as well, which the owner doesn’t really have any control over, however they did have these fly trap bags that probably helped a lot. They had a little electric racket thing but the flies didn’t seem to be bothered by it. We are only including it in the review so others can see and If you are wanting to spend time out on either deck, be prepared to bring something to keep the flies away which we didn’t think to bring. The big dining table was awesome to play board games around each night! The smart TV and complimentary WiFi was an added bonus! The dock looked super new and the walk to the lake was very convenient. We rented a boat at KenLake marina a couple days later in the week. It was a really short drive over there and it was a lot less expensive to rent the boat over there than the marina on Lake Barkley. We would have taken the kayaks out, however we ended up running out of time to do everything we had planned. The host checked in with us on the first night but the lakehouse had everything we needed so we didn’t need anything else during our stay! The keypad locks on the doors were super cool and easy, we didn’t have to worry about keeping a key on us at all times. We would totally stay here again, super cozy and comfortable! Thanks for such a great stay!

Our family had so much fun in the area! The house was great, but has been updated since these photos which was a pleasant surprise aside from the bunk beds we were not expecting. The property owner was awesome answering all of my questions before our arrival. Having the kayaks on-site was great! Our family had a great time and a wonderful rental experience!

Very happy with our choice of where to stay when we visited kentucky. We've stayed at many VRBOs and this was probably the cleanest and most friendly space we stayed. Loved the "personality" of the house and the large bathrooms. Would be perfect for a family stay. The pier was fantastic as was the bonfire pit. Thank you so much - would definitely stay again.

Wonderful place!!!! Very peaceful and right on the water. The owner was very easy get ahold of to answer any questions and the house is very well taken care of. I would not necessarily recommend this house to someone who has a hard time with hills or stairs as there are a few of them. We will be back to visit in a few months and will definitely rent this cabin property again
