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. ##### Janet V. Stayed 4 nights in Mar 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### GLENNA C. Aug 12, 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### 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 ##### GLENNA C. Stayed 4 nights in Aug 2024 This review comes from a trusted partner site and has not been verified. ### 8/10 Good #### Joel Jul 12, 2024 #### Beautiful Home. But.... The house was beautiful, but not recommended for anyone with mobility issues. The only ways into the house are by a steep downward slope to the front door, or about 10 steps to the backdoor. My mother in law who has had a stroke could not come and go for trips on the lake or outside the house because it was too strenuous for her to climb. Other than that, the house was clean, cozy and had great lake/river access. ##### Joel Stayed 6 nights in Jun 2024 ### 8/10 Good #### Blake K. May 6, 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### 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. ##### Blake K.

The house, location, rooms, etc. were exactly how they were described and in the pictures. The driveway was steep, like they said, but we had no problems getting up or down it. The dock is very nice and we met the people that they share it with and they were very friendly. We had a great time and are already looking at booking it again for next year. ##### Dean This review comes from a trusted partner site and has not been verified. ### 10/10 Excellent #### Amy Jul 6, 2023 #### Great place to stay We loved our stay here.

Everything was just as stated and pictured. The only recommendation I would make is to let people know that the house is not accessible without steps (lakeside) or traversing a steep driveways (front door). Our family enjoyed our time and hope to visit again soon. ##### Janet Stayed 2 nights in Nov 2023 ### 6/10 Okay #### Kimberly G., Nashville, TN Jul 3, 2023 Liked: Check-in, communication #### 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. ##### Kimberly G. Stayed 3 nights in Jun 2023 ### 8/10 Good #### Kelly B. Jun 21, 2023 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### 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. ##### Kelly B. Stayed 2 nights in Jun 2023 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Carl M. May 1, 2023 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### 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. ##### Carl M. Stayed 3 nights in Apr 2023 ### 6/10 Okay #### Chris L. Jul 22, 2019 Liked: Cleanliness, communication #### Kayaking vacation We arrived and were unsure how to get in the house. I called the owner who helped us locate the key. We couldn’t find the cushions for the outside couch and seat bottoms for the chairs outside for two days but finally located them in a closet inside the house. The location for us was what we really liked. Easy to put kayaks in right from the house location. We enjoyed our time at Lake Barkley. The driveway is very steep but my 80+ year old parents were able to take the stairs to get in the door facing the water. The bathroom inside the one bedroom has a low doorway that my husband who is 6’2” tall kept hitting his head on so would not recommend a tall person using that room. The other bathroom has a small shower which could be enlarged to improve it. I would recommend adding a bath with shower in the bedroom with the king bed as that room is really big. Lots of different floor levels in the house as well which is hard for older folks but we managed with no falls! Kitchen needs some upgrades as well. You can’t open the freezer door all the way making it hard to get things in/out of it. The stove/oven sits in the cabinet area with open areas around the edge of the stove letting things fall in the open areas like LEGO pieces! ##### Chris L.

Planetarium close by . Good fishing nearby. They allow pets. Charcoal grill. This was our second stay at this property.

Oct 28, 2025 Liked: Check-in, communication, location Disliked: Cleanliness, listing accuracy The house and grounds are in bad shape. The house was full of dog hair. The host had to call plumber because bathtub faucet was turned off because of continuous leak.Pictures are deceiving. With some tender loving care house would be worth the amount of rental cost. ##### Monte & Nelda C.
