About this property
Spectacular Lake Barkley Retreat, Weekday Pontoon Boat Included**
Spectacular Lake Views | 3 Bedroom Lake Barkley Retreat | Weekday Pontoon Boat Included (seasonal)
Wake up to breathtaking views of Lake Barkley at this comfortable and spacious lake home located just off Highway 68. While the home is conveniently located near the highway for easy access to nearby attractions, it is set back far enough to provide a peaceful setting with minimal traffic noise. Neighbors are within sight but spaced far enough apart to maintain privacy and relaxation.
This three-bedroom, two-bath home is perfect for families or small groups looking to enjoy the lake and surrounding outdoor recreation. The main floor features a queen bedroom, with another queen bedroom upstairs and a third queen bedroom downstairs. The home comfortably sleeps six guests and allows up to ten guests maximum.
The kitchen is fully stocked with basic cookware and everything needed for simple meal preparation during your stay. A standard drip coffee maker is provided, so feel free to bring your favorite coffee to start your mornings while enjoying the incredible lake view.
The property offers plenty of open space for outdoor activities, making it a great place to bring yard games or simply enjoy time outside with family and friends.
**Weekday Pontoon Boat Included**
Guests staying Monday through Thursday between May 1 and October 1 may enjoy use of a shared 10-passenger pontoon boat at no additional cost. Weekend and holiday rentals are available for an additional fee.

Location is close to everything you need for a relaxing getaway. The host is extremely responsive and knowledgeable of the area. We enjoyed everything about our stay and would absolutely stay there again!
We loved the lake access, sunset, grilling nightly! Clean white fluffy towels. Owner was super friendly and responsive -
Kids loved fishing off the docks
We can’t wait to go back
We came down to ride 4 wheelers at OHV Turkey Bay and the house was great distance to park and the safety of being able to leave our trailer to go into town was nice! Amazing views from house of the lake beautiful deck wigh grill and seating. Washer & dryer access is a BONUS!
We enjoyed being so close to the lake. Enjoyed fishing, the overly friendly raccoon, and the huge groundhog that ran around. I don’t think those beds are queen size though. Probably more like fulls..
as I think stayed.
Date getaway - first time to Land Between The Lakes
The best spot! Great view in the mornings and evenings and so close to the lake! Just walked down to fish! Convenient to anything we forgot and if we were too tired to cook there’s a great takeaway within walking distance. Safe neighborhood for walking and we had two dogs so we walked a lot! Very friendly neighborhood!
My son and his wife met my husband and I for a quick weekend getaway. It was perfect halfway point. This A-Frame house provided a nice cozy getaway. Parking was adequate for a number of vehicles, the house was clean, it was great being able to rent a pontoon thru the owner, who was very attentive and even told my husband we could put our paddleboards in off his boat dock and the views were spectacular at sunset. Nothing flashy, but a great stay.
We had a very comfortable stay. Kitchen had all the useful pieces for cooking in. House was very clean. Lake water was clean and refreshing to swim in. Views were lovely from the porch. We picked very well for a house at the lake. Sunsets were awesome. We rented kayaks. Everything worked out well. We visited the local coffee shop in Cadiz too!
The view of the water and bridge is beautiful! Great location. The house is run down and had enough cobwebs to stuff a pillow. Comfortable beds. Kitchen is well supplied with pans, plates, utensils, etc. The spiral staircase is made for Barbie feet. Even my size 5's were challenged. Our dog had to be transported up and down using the outside stairs and after a couple cocktails so did I! Place really needs a lot of small repairs. The large deck has rotten boards and no comfortable seating. Really fun having the pontoon boat but they, too, are in need of maintenance. I kinda felt sorry for the place.
It's a great location for us, and waking up on the Cumberland is awesome and the owner is really really easy to deal with. But, the main floor bathroom couldn't be used as a shower (we didn't ask to resolve, just dealt with it). The beds on the main floor and the basement were REALLY bad for sleeping with a couple (not a size issue though they are small for a couple, but they're just really old and bounce EXCESSIVELY continually waking up) and the furnace makes a HORRENDOUS noise all day, that if you sleep on the lower floor it'll wake you up every 10minutes, if the rickety bed doesn't. It was just a lot of money to not sleep for three days. If not for the owner being really responsive to issues, this would be lower.
Perfect family fun spot to stay. Lucas was very helpful and gave us great advice on where to take the boat. The children loved the little smimmimg spot by our house. The night sky was great for star gazing. Overall great for family fun.
Everything was as described. Owner was great to deal with. He responded very quickly to any questions or concerns we had. Would definitely stay here again.
Beautiful location, nice house and plenty of room for family. The pontoon was a great bonus we had a blast on the boat and did a lot of fishing. The host was fast at responding with questions and was very nice! The only suggestions I had was the bed needed more pillows and make sure your legs are strong for the spiral staircase lol.
