Come visit this beautiful log home on Lake Barkley with extensive decking overlooking the lake and the Land Between The Lakes (LBL) National Recreational Area. The cabin has 3 bedrooms, 2 baths, laundry, sun room/reading room, and central heat and air. Main level bed room has a queen size bed. The upstairs, bay side, bedroom also has a queen bed. The upstairs, channel side, bedroom has a king size bed and also has an additional reading room with a twin size bed.

The cabin sleeps 7 comfortably. Boating, fishing, swimming, and sunbathing are just out the back door. Nearby you can find horseback riding, go for a bike ride, or get wild and crazy on your ATV at Turkey Creek in LBL. Traveling west to Aurora, you will find Kentucky Lake State Park, host of the Hot August Blues Festival. Head east to Cadiz, home of the Trigg County Ham Festival, and you will find several antique shops, 2 nearby golf courses, tennis courts, walking trails, and much much more.

This log cabin is situated on the main lake with fabulous views year round and is conveniently located less than a mile from the main highway (US 68/80). Although no dock permits are granted on the main channel; the public boat ramp is just a mile down the road with very easy access. I also have dock access at the end of the street.

Wi-Fi is provided. Verizon and AT&T work well inside and out. To the best of my knowledge, all cell carriers work outside the cabin.

If you need anything at all, I live at the end of the street and will do my best to make your stay at the lake an enjoyable one!


Rates are based on an 8 person occupancy, additional guests are $25 per person per night.

Holidays require a minimum 4 night reservation.

With being on the lake there is always a chance of bugs, please understand we do everything we can to keep the outside of the house clean but sometimes it just is not possible. June, July, and August have what is called a Mayfly hatch occasionally, they do not bite and are good for fishing.

FAQS:

 No more than 2 pets are allowed. There is a $100 fee for each pet.

 There is room for 4-5 cars in the driveway. There is plenty of room for over flow parking, just let me know and I’ll show you where it is.

 Free wifi is provided. It is sometimes slow and unreliable but is the best we have in our area.

 ALL your linens are provided. I always recommend bringing your pillow for your comfort.

 The kitchen has basic pots and pans and utensils for your general cooking needs.

 There is a full size fridge and freezer in the kitchen.

 The neighborhood is located on a dead end street and is usually very quiet.

 Our neighbors’ kids play in the street so please drive with caution.

 The grill is propane and the propane is provided. Bring a lighter as ours tend to walk off.

 The outdoor grill is not cleaned by the cleaning staff, please clean up after yourself. Also, please
excuse the last guest for not listening to the first part of this statement.

 The steps on the deck will lead you all the way to the shoreline.

 The water is gently sloping and you can swim from the shore.

 The bottom of the lake is rocky and semi-muddy. I recommend wearing lake shoes.

 Yes, you can fish from the shoreline. KY fish and game laws apply.

 You can use any of the 3 docks on the bayside at the end of the street. Everyone is welcome to come to the end of the street and use my lot on the point. I do ask that you respect our privacy.
• We have 6 pontoon boats and 4 jet skis available for rent. They are shared between all of our rental houses and I do recommend you reserve in advance, our rental site is enjoylakebarkley.com (Click on boats). The boats are always docked at our COVERED dock. Once I have given you safety instructions you are allowed to use the boat from sunrise to sunset. NO night use. If you are out after dark I will assume you are missing and emergence personnel will be notified.
We need a credit card to hold for the additional boat deposit of $300. If you are staying during the promotional period then you can ignore the rental statement.

Boat rental is seasonal, May-September

• No penalty for boat rain outs. If you reserve we do ask that you plan on using the boat or it will be deducted from your deposit. We do not offer half day rentals.

 I always recommend you bring your food with you. Our grocery stores are no comparison to the stores most are used to in the city. Hancocks Neighborhood Market is about 12 miles away and the best of our two local options.

Fireplace is for looks only and is NOT functional.

We also have 2 kayaks available. $25 daily each. Kayaks are to be returned before dark to my covered dock

The Hot tub and Pool are offsite and comes as a part of the complimentary pass to the Lake Barkley State Park.

Book with confidence. We are registered with the Cadiz Tourism office as "H & H Lake Rental LLC" "enjoylakebarkley"

Everything was perfect! Cabin was clean, beds were comfy and kitchen well stocked. We enjoyed swimming in the lake. We also rented a pontoon beach for the day. Communication with the owner was easy and response was quick. Thank you!! Oh and the fireworks were amazing!!!

Few minor problems
6 / 10Average·Nov 2024
Really enjoyed the location. Quiet, far enough from busy but close enough to take a trip over. Great walking paths over the bridge and sunsets were beautiful. Feel like the price did not meet the services provided. Not at all what we expected given the price during the off season. Cabin and furniture much older than expected. Multiple problems operating TVs, internet was weak and constantly disconnecting. TV program access was routed through Internet so it took a long time to load our personal membership profiles so that we could watch something. Ladybug population boom (on the inside), lots needing to be repaired windows and door thresholds, 3 of 4 kitchen chairs the legs were not staying connected dangerous to sit in. Sunroom chairs and recliner very worn. Porch and stairs to lake needs boards replaced, last set of stairs to the water’s edge are not safe for kids or older adults, no handrails. No dishwasher even though directions indicate the dishwasher must be turned on before departure. Loose dogs from neighborhood frequent the yard and porch, not on a leash. Fireplace in living room but not allowed to use it. Dishes had cracks and not enough silverware, bring your own scissors, had to wash by hand immediately to have enough for each meal. There were extra beds, not sure if heat was available in those areas though. Entire closet in second upstairs bedroom was blocked by the headboard of the bed.
