Spacious Lakefront Kentucky Home Rental!

• Family Vacation at Lakefront Kentucky Home

  5/5

  First time we had a family vacation on a lake and the location, lay-out, access to the water were great. The staircase went all the way to the water which was great for our grandchildren( ages 4-11). We were happy to know of the water shoes reccomendation. Kitchen was fully stocked and had every thing we needed. The laundry room was conviently located off the kitch which was large enough to store empty coolers and other items. The 2nd refridgerator was well used. Each king size bedroom includes a private bathroom. The grandchildren enjoyed the Loft bedroom with TV. The game room just off the kitchen provide many opprotunities for enjoyment when we needed to get out of the sun for a while. We would rate this 10+

• Absolutely Wonderful

  5/5

  I recently had the pleasure of staying at a truly spectacular vacation rental home on Lake Barkley, and it exceeded all my expectations. Situated right on the water, this property offers breathtaking views and immediate access to all the lake has to offer.

  From the moment we arrived, we were greeted with warmth and charm. The home itself is beautifully appointed, with spacious, comfortable rooms and a modern, well-equipped kitchen. The living area opens up to a large deck that is perfect for relaxing and soaking in the serene lake views. Each morning, we enjoyed coffee on the deck while watching the sunrise over the water—a truly peaceful start to the day.

  The outdoor space is just as impressive. The private dock is ideal for swimming, fishing, or simply lounging by the water. We spent countless hours enjoying the lake, whether it was taking out the provided kayaks or just floating on a raft. The property also includes a well-maintained lawn and a fire pit, perfect for evening gatherings under the stars.

  For family fun, this vacation rental has it all. The game room features a pool table and a ping pong table, providing endless entertainment for all ages. Outside, we enjoyed playing corn hole and had a blast with the assortment of water toys provided for the children. There’s also a variety of board games available, which were a hit during our cozy indoor evenings.

  The attention to detail in this home is evident. It’s clear that the owners have put a lot of thought into making sure guests have a comfortable and enjoyable stay. The rental was impeccably clean and well-organized, and the host instantly answered our questions when we texted.

  Overall, this vacation rental on Lake Barkley is a true gem. If you're looking for a relaxing getaway with stunning lake views and top-notch amenities, this is the place to stay. We left with wonderful memories and can’t wait to return. Highly recommended!

  1/5

  Negatives far outweighed positives during our stay. Initial communication & check-in process were fine. The house was a good size for our group of 4 adults & 4 kids. We enjoyed the kayaks and playing in the water.

  The listing's claim that the "homeowner lives on-site, in a completely separate unit" is misleading. The "separate unit" is actually a room inside the house accessible by a door labeled "Owner's Suite" off the playroom. We did not anticipate the owner would be sitting out back, watching us by the water which made us uncomfortable.

  A lock on the thermostat prevents adjustments below 71 degrees, which made sleeping in upstairs bedrooms unpleasant. The kids room with the bunks had no vents, becoming incredibly warm & humid. There were fans but they only helped so much.

  On the second day, a severe storm caused a power outage at 9am. The owners did check on us & after explaining how we're waiting for the power to come back so we can prepare food, they did offer the side burner on their grill. None of us were interested in being outside in the rain to use a side burner to cook food for 8 people, but I guess it was a nice gesture. After waiting 4hrs without power and seeing no resolution in sight, we decided to leave before the next storm hit. When we requested a partial refund, the owners falsely claimed to their management company that we left after the power was restored. Despite providing texts proving this was a lie, they still refused.

  Not worth the money.

  Hi Jenna, thank you for sharing your experience with us. After reading your feedback, the homeowner wanted to address the following:
  - We regret that our on-site presence made you uncomfortable. Our living area is separated by two doors, and we spend time on the adjacent property to respect guests' privacy.
  - We understand the storm and power outage were frustrating. It was an issue beyond our control. We had not received the payout yet, which is why we suggested you call Evolve for a refund.
  We appreciate your feedback, as it helps us improve the guest experience.

• Right on the water!

  5/5

  This home has a beautiful location right on the water in a quiet area. We have a multi generation spring break and everyone was able to find things to enjoy! Barge watching from the deck, fishing off the bank, going to the nature station and hiking were all big hits. The property owners have built a beautiful staircase off the deck that takes you right down to the beach. It does require 3 sets of stairs, however my 87 year old grandparents were able to use the stairs with the handrails. Overall a wonderful space for all of us to spend time together!
