Travellers describe Beautiful cottage with AMAZING view of Barren River Lake! as a clean, comfortable lake house with lake views, a screened porch, a well equipped kitchen, a quiet setting, and responsive hosts, convenient for Mammoth Cave and lake activities.
The layout and decor feel homey, and many say the space suits families and small groups. Several guests book repeat stays, reflecting a consistent experience. A maintenance hiccup reported in one stay was resolved promptly. Expect a restful lakeside retreat.

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay. The house is immaculate, well designed, and extremely comfortable. The huge porch on the back of the house was everyone's favorite place to welcome the day with a hot cup of coffee and a cozy blanket. We enjoyed playing games at the kitchen table, sitting around the fireplace revisiting our day's journeys, and soaking in the gorgeous view of the lake. The location of the house lent itself to trips to Corevette Museum, the Diamond Caverns, and a couple jaunts into Nashville. We were always thrilled to get back to decompress from our active days. Sherry is extremely responsive to any questions you may have. Details around the house that catered to renters proved she is a natural hostess. Her upbeat demeanor made it very easy to approach her with incidental inquiries. All of us agreed that we wouldn't hesitate to return to this lovely home.

Nice place. The wood interior really made us feel like we were in a cabin even though it was a high end home. Home has a nice feel to it with gas fireplace, large screen TV and high view of the lake. Had everything we needed and owner was top notch.

A well built, comfortable house. We arrived in a historic polar vortex so didn't get to enjoy the porch or nearby attractions. The heat worked well and the gas fireplace was nice - in doses. Enjoyed the living room views and found a telescope that turned out to be something to do.

The Lakeside Cottage was the perfect place for us to stay for a family wedding in Smiths Grove, KY. Thirty minute drive to the beautiful Tayvin Gardens. We loved the peaceful lake setting at the cottage and staying with our daughter and son-in-law. We all enjoyed the big screen porch: reading, drinking coffee, birdwatching, and chatting. The cottage had everything we needed and more to make us feel welcome and comfortable. We felt right at home.

What an amazing property. My friend and I do a girls week once or twice a year and have used VRBO many times. We always have a great property, however, this time was absolutely the best! From the cute exterior to the immaculate interior, we could not have found a better place to stay. We thoroughly enjoyed the screened in deck overlooking the lake and the birds fliting around. Bowling Green, Glasgow and Mammoth Cave are all within 30 to 40 minutes, making it a great central location to enjoy the area. We would definitely stay at this property again.

Great cottage! The view was the first thing we saw when we opened the front door. It was amazing! Cottage had everything we needed and then some. Even though it was November, the weather was mild enough for us to dine on the screened-in porch for our holiday meal. We hope to come back sometime with family. Great stay and highly recommend!

This cozy lake house provided the perfect base station for exploring nearby Mammoth Cave. The property was very clean and had all the amenities needed for a restful long weekend. We particularly enjoyed spending time on the screened in porch with beautiful lake view. I would highly recommend this place to friends and family for future stays.

We all loved the screened in porch and the view of the lake. There was plenty of room for three adults and the bedrooms were nicely decorated and comfortable. I would love to come back and highly recommend it to any of my other friends.

We enjoyed our stay from booking to check out! We planned a trip to Kentucky mainly to visit the Mammoth Caves and enjoy a nice cabin on the lake and we got just that and more! Sheri was great with answering our questions even weeks in advance from our stay. Her cottage was beautiful outside and in! Beds were comfy and the pillows fluffy! We had 4 adults and 2 preteens and all were comfortable and had plenty of room! The cottage was clean and well maintained and had all the kitchen needs you can think of. And the porch was an awesome space with a VIEW to chat, have morning stretches , sip coffee…or wine…lol and make memories! Book it!!

Communication with Sherry was great ! She is awesome, very quick to respond to any questions we had ! We also enjoyed meeting and visiting with her neighbors..an awesome couple as well !

In town over Christmas to visit family. This well appointed home on the lake was as much a personal retreat, as it was a vacation rental. It had everything we needed and much more than we expected. There are VRBO owners, and then there are intentional and thoughtful hosts. Thanks for all the attention to detail and warm hospitality this Christmas. We’ll be back. The Hughes’ - Cincinnati, Ohio

Stay at the house was great. We had a small issue with the air conditioner but the host was very prompt to fix it and even offering to comp a day or pay for dinner. While the AC was being repaired, they were more than generous and we loved our stay.

We enjoyed our stay from booking to check out! We planned a trip to Kentucky mainly to visit the Mammoth Caves and enjoy a nice cabin on the lake and we got just that and more! Sheri was great with answering our questions even weeks in advance from our stay. Her cottage was beautiful outside and in! Beds were comfy and the pillows fluffy! We had 4 adults and 2 preteens and all were comfortable and had plenty of room! The cottage was clean and well maintained and had all the kitchen needs you can think of. And the porch was an awesome space with a VIEW to chat, have morning stretches , sip coffee…or wine…lol and make memories! Book it!!

This cottage is absolutely beautiful, inside and out ! Very clean, comfortable, spacious, and well stocked with everything you need ! We did a girls hiking trip, there were 7 of us, and we had plenty of room! The huge screened in porch was our favorite hang out spot, with a gorgeous view of the lake. The sunsets were amazing! A perfect location, Mammoth Caves 35-40 min away, Barren River Lake State Park was close for a day hike and a pontoon rental was close for a day of cruising Barren River Lake! Communication with Sherry was great ! She is awesome, very quick to respond to any questions we had ! We also enjoyed meeting and visiting with her neighbors..an awesome couple as well ! Best relaxing getaway ever ! Definitely did not disappoint !! Would highly recommend this amazing "Lakeview Cottage" and we hope to make a return visit !! Again..."Thank You Sherry !!" Laurie P.

Quiet property with lake view. We enjoyed a hort 2 night family stay to relax. The cabin style cottage has a view of the lake and a screened porch. The location is on a quiet road with no traffic. Comfortably sleeps 4 adults and 4-5 children.

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay. The house is immaculate, well designed, and extremely comfortable. The huge porch on the back of the house was everyone's favorite place to welcome the day with a hot cup of coffee and a cozy blanket. We enjoyed playing games at the kitchen table, sitting around the fireplace revisiting our day's journeys, and soaking in the gorgeous view of the lake. The location of the house lent itself to trips to Corevette Museum, the Diamond Caverns, and a couple jaunts into Nashville. We were always thrilled to get back to decompress from our active days. Sherry is extremely responsive to any questions you may have. Details around the house that catered to renters proved she is a natural hostess. Her upbeat demeanor made it very easy to approach her with incidental inquiries. All of us agreed that we wouldn't hesitate to return to this lovely home.

The Lakeside Cottage was the perfect place for us to stay for a family wedding in Smiths Grove, KY. Thirty minute drive to the beautiful Tayvin Gardens. We loved the peaceful lake setting at the cottage and staying with our daughter and son-in-law. We all enjoyed the big screen porch: reading, drinking coffee, birdwatching, and chatting. The cottage had everything we needed and more to make us feel welcome and comfortable. We felt right at home.

This house has an amazing lake view. It is clean and comfortable. Just a short drive to the recreation area where we had kayak rentals dropped off from Bob and Yo’s. We hiked at Mammoth Cave one day which is around a 40 minute drive away.

What an amazing property. My friend and I do a girls week once or twice a year and have used VRBO many times. We always have a great property, however, this time was absolutely the best! From the cute exterior to the immaculate interior, we could not have found a better place to stay. We thoroughly enjoyed the screened in deck overlooking the lake and the birds fliting around. Bowling Green, Glasgow and Mammoth Cave are all within 30 to 40 minutes, making it a great central location to enjoy the area. We would definitely stay at this property again.

Nice place. The wood interior really made us feel like we were in a cabin even though it was a high end home. Home has a nice feel to it with gas fireplace, large screen TV and high view of the lake. Had everything we needed and owner was top notch.

This cozy lake house provided the perfect base station for exploring nearby Mammoth Cave. The property was very clean and had all the amenities needed for a restful long weekend. We particularly enjoyed spending time on the screened in porch with beautiful lake view. I would highly recommend this place to friends and family for future stays.

Great cottage! The view was the first thing we saw when we opened the front door. It was amazing! Cottage had everything we needed and then some. Even though it was November, the weather was mild enough for us to dine on the screened-in porch for our holiday meal. We hope to come back sometime with family. Great stay and highly recommend!

You know about the electrical stuff. Everything else was really wonderful. We do have two suggestions. The first one to us was a big thing. Your house was spotlessly clean. The porch screens were not. The other thing was about the cutlery. There were plenty of spoons and forks but only 4 knives. That was a problem. We have found more houses going to thrift stores and buys wide varieties of good quality cutlery that are crazy cheap and fun! Just an idea! Thank you for sharing your home with us.
