Cottage vacation rentals in Lake Barkley

Very pleased with our stay! Place was great, plenty of space for our party of 6 and great location.

Dana was the best! This cozy cabin is tucked away in relative seclusion. Private, clean, and has everything you need for a relaxing stay. The bedroom and pull-out were perfect for two people. The coffee maker had a bit of a problem, but it was replaced with a new one within hours! I've had a few stays using AirBNB, but this one was one of my favorite places. Checking in and simple instructions for WiFi and coffee/laundry supplies were a welcome surprise. The hot tub is clean, holds heat long enough for a good soak. Water pressure, temperature, and cabin climate controls work well. Just a great space, will definitely stay longer than two nights next time.

We chose Victor's place for our anniversary weekend and it was the perfect getaway! Quiet, peaceful, a beautiful drive to the house. Murray isn't to far away and they have some great restaurants and shops. Victor was quick and responsive! They also left us a note and a little present for our anniversary which was very sweet!

This lakeside getaway was absolutely perfect! The hosts thought of everything, making our stay effortless and enjoyable. The home was spotless, cozy, and beautifully decorated, with stunning lake views. They went above and beyond by providing breakfast essentials like pancake mix, coffee, and even s’mores supplies for the fire pit. The beds were super comfortable, and the house was stocked with games, books, and extra toiletries. Outside, we enjoyed the hottub, fishing and relaxing by the fire with plenty of seating and firewood. The thoughtful touches, like a welcome note and local recommendations, made us feel so cared for. It’s the ideal getaway for relaxation or family fun—highly recommend!

The place was nice and clean! You are sharing a house with other people as well as a driveway. Ron was a great host! Very quick response time!

I spent a weekend, and was amazed at how peaceful it was. I am already planning a return for next year, and hopefully I will have more time.

Exactly as described. We were very comfortable. We had a slight issue with the door upon arrival but our host answered right away and resolved the issue immediately. The space is large so we had room to spread out.

Beautiful cabin and great time of year to visit! Hope to visit again! Kelly was great to work with…very responsive!

Great hosts! I even left something expensive behind and they were quick to let me know!

The accommodation was just as I had expected, and the facilities were superbly maintained. I had a peaceful and comfortable vacation.

The cottage contained all that was described and was clean and comfortable. The location in relation to accessing LBL is very close and convenient. Would stay here again.

At first I was taken back bc the property and cabins weren’t what I was expecting, even tho the pictures are exactly accurate! (It was a “my brain” kinda disconnect.) Tony couldn’t have been more pleasant and friendly. He was filled with information about the lake, where to go, and what to eat. I wasn’t able to take advantage of the area because I was there for a conference. The little cabins are very much “hunting & fishing” cabins. They are small and very minimalist. But ours was super clean, with the most fresh smelling towels & bed linens. The bathroom was spotless too. I definitely recommend it and would happily stay here again.

We really enjoyed our stay. We ended up arriving earlier than expected and was able to check in early. Kelsi was very responsive and friendly. Location was perfect. You can see the lake from the house and it’s a very short walk. The location is close to many things and there was always something to do. Definitely recommend!

My husband and I stayed at Scott's place for 2 nights in November of 2024 and thoroughly enjoyed ourselves. It was the perfect place to RELAX and unwind after hiking at nearby Land Between the Lakes. Very few neighbors on a dead end road. We brought our two small dogs, and everyone had plenty of room to spread out. I appreciated that 2 dog beds, food & water bowls, and even some Milk Bones were provided! The towels were soft, hotel quality. It was nice to have the bathroom sink separated from the shower & toilet by a door for added privacy. We didn't cook, but it was nice to have the option with a full kitchen & dishes provided. The back deck looked nice, but it was a little too chilly for us to hang out there during our stay. I can imagine staying in summer this would be a nice place to grill, splash in the river, or throw a ball in the yard.

Great place. Will rent again.

Beautiful cabin and great time of year to visit! Hope to visit again! Kelly was great to work with…very responsive!

I stayed for a week during my trip . Katrina’s place was perfect for my location needs. The bread and jam was a nice appreciated gift. I will stay here again.

I can't say enough about our great experience at Ron and Kathy's! The place is exactly as described, warm and welcoming. Everything was very clean and the bed was very comfortable. We enjoyed sitting on the screen porch listening to the birds and the water lapping at the shore. We also had a campfire one night and watched the sunset. If you need some peaceful and quiet days this is the place for you! Ron and Kathy were so friendly and helpful with local fishing recommendations. 😊 We would definitely stay here again!

We have stayed here on several occasions when visiting family and we always enjoy our stay at Mark and Patricia’s. Their house is comfy, warm and cozy. Mark and Patricia go over and above providing the home with essentials for their guests and we appreciate it.

The Mallard House was in a great location and was perfect for our group. The house was very comfortable, and the host was wonderful to deal with. I would definitely stay here again.
