About this house rental

Beautiful, cozy lake house in Pirate’s Cove, located in Kentucky Lake in the Jonathan’s Creek area. You will have access to the Pirate's Cove boat launch 2 miles from home or a public boat ramp 3 miles from the lake home. Jonathan Creek offers the best fishing on the lake. Pirate’s Cove resort offers 1.5 miles of waterfront for fishing, hiking, or swimming with gorgeous lake views, shoreline fishing and beach access year-round. Our lake home is 20 minutes from Murray State University, 15 minutes from Land between the Lakes, 40 minutes to Venture Water Park, and 45 minutes from the Quilt Museum. The community pool is typically operational from Memorial Day to Labor Day but you must contact that Pirates Cove office prior to your visit to confirm. You must include the $25 pool fee at the time of registration if you plan on using the pool. This will cover 4 guests. If you need additional guests, please add $5 per additional guest.

Our family friendly home is a two-story 1,500 square foot home with 2 bedrooms, a loft, 2 bathrooms and 2 entertainment spaces. The main floor has 2 bedrooms (one with a queen bed the other with a queen and twin bunk bed), a half bath, large family room with entertainment setup and seating for 6-8. The family room also includes 2 large picture windows with awesome view of the yard and a door leading to upper deck. The loft has a queen bed, full-size futon, and TV; the perfect hangout for kids and teenagers. The lower level has a well-appointed kitchen (service for 8), full bath with tub/shower (with washer and dryer) and large dining room with a family style farm table; including TV, plenty of rainy day activities like puzzles, coloring books, board games and card games.

The large 1100 sq ft wraparound lower deck is perfect for entertaining with an outdoor eating area table with 2 outdoor sectionals (seating for 10) and 10 patio chairs, including decorative patio lighting. The deck steps down to a large, quiet, peaceful backyard full of large mature trees, hammock, outdoor games, and fire pit.

Parking: room for 6 large SUVs. The front of the house, has a large carport (large enough for a pontoon boat) and a gravel parking pad that can accommodate 2 large SUVs. A 2nd driveway leading to the back of the house, is least 50’ long and can accommodate an additional 3 large SUVs.

Kentucky Lake is the largest man-made lake east of the Mississippi River. It is also the largest body of water between the Great Lakes and the Gulf of Mexico.

Boat launching from the Pirate's Cove Marina is included in the rental. Boat slips can be rented from Pirate's Cove resort. Please visit the resort website for more resort information on boat slip rental: https://piratescoveky.com Please note that the beach is a typical rocky lake beach and not a white sandy Florida beach.

Please also note there are two outdoor cameras on-site at each exterior door of the home to serve as a home security system. 2 Dog limit with a $25 fee per dog. Please contact owner to add more than one dog to reservation. There are many stairs/steps in the home that some would consider very steep. Please keep this in mind when booking.

Great place , nice owner :) The only thing that would keep us from coming back is the pool . We have been promised two years in a row with a bunch of kiddos that the pool would be up and running , we have been very disappointed 2 years in a row now :( again this is not property owners fault . But still definitely a downfall of thinking there is gonna be a pool and it not happening.

This place is amazing. Host responded quickly to all questions. Decorated so cute. Plenty of parking space. Plenty of room to spread out. Kitchen well stocked with pots, pans, plates, etc. Never found a can opener. That was ok, we made do. We stayed here 7 years ago. Lots of memories made here then and now!! Community pool was down. That couldn't be helped. Grandkids made memories swimming in the lake!! Looking forward to our to next trip to the lake!!

The host was extremely responsive and allowed us to check in early when our plans changed. The house was not very clean upon our arrival. There were dead beetles in the bathrooms, food crumbs in one of the beds, and the floors left our feet and socks black. The kitchen had many broken parts (knobs on oven, microwave door, top piece of microwave). There was no can opener or scissors. No Tupperware. The house advertises ability to sleep 10 but there isn’t even silverware and plates to feed 10. Having to run the dishwasher or hand wash dishes after every single meal was frustrating. A lot of cosmetic issues with the entire house. Baseboards and cabinets need repairs. The trees need to be trimmed back to the lower driveway.
