About this property

Incredible sunrises await you as you drink coffee and overlook the main lake.

Enjoy our lake home overlooking the main lake with incredible sunrises from a spacious deck. A full renovation was completed on the home this year. We renovated the home with a focus on having a "lake cottage" feel and focusing on being outside!

The home features 3 bedrooms and 1 bath. Bedroom one has a king bed, bedroom two has 2 queen beds, and bedroom three features a custom built bunk bed with an extra long twin on top and a full size mattress on bottom. The home also features a full length sunroom with full views of the lake. The new expanded two-tier deck features a large oak tree towering through the middle of the deck and providing a canopy of shade during the day, and lighting hung from the tree at night. We have also included an antique viewer purchased from a resort in Banff, Canada. Looking through this viewer you can see full detail across the lake into Land Between the Lakes or any boats on the water.

If you want to get closer to the water, there is a second deck down at the shoreline. This deck features chairs for lounging above the waters edge. If you choose to get even closer to the water, you can take advantage of the newly installed dock extending 70 feet out from the shore with a 10x40 platform. Feel free to fish, lounge, swim or pull your boat up to the dock for the day.

The home sits privately down the hill located behind the garage. There is parking for 3 cars. If you want to bring your boat, you are within a mile of 2 boat ramps. If you only have one vehicle, you will be able to park your boat parallel to the road in front of the garage. A second option would be to contact Moore's marina and rent a slip for your stay and simply keep your boat there. The house is less than a mile from Moore's.

You will find all the comforts of home including a full kitchen, refrigerator, stacked washer and dryer, cable and Wi-Fi. Of course, the idea with the lake house is to NOT be inside, but if you must, you will find a very comfortable home.

For fun, you are within minutes of Land Between the Lakes which boast 170,000 acres of activities including 500 miles of hiking, biking, off-road riding, horse bike riding, Woodlands Nature Station, Elk & Bison Prairie, Homeplace 1850s Working Farm, and Golden Pond Planetarium and Observatory. You are also within 30 minutes of Murray, KY, home of Murray State University and 30 minutes away from Paducah, KY and 2 hours drive to Nashville. Moore's Marina has a very good restaurant that serves both lunch and dinner.

We are very proud of the home and are excited to share it with you. If you are like us, once you settle in, you won't want to leave. The water keeps calling you back. The beautiful sunrises are breathtaking and the evenings down on the dock make you realize that life still has some places that aren't as busy.

Beautiful home - Extended dock was perfect for fishing!

10/10! My husband stayed here to fish with friends. They truly enjoyed their time. They said the house was everything they needed, beautiful views, and the dock was perfect to fish from. They caught crappie and bass from the dock! We would definitely recommend this stay to others and we will likely return in the future.

Great place to relax and enjoy the stunning views!

We had a wonderful weekend stay at this cozy house on Ky Lake. After visiting LBL and Paducah during the day, we returned to this lovely lakefront home to relax on the deck, soaking in the sunshine, beautiful views and listening to the chorus of the birds. On our last evening, a mature Eagle landed in the tree just to the right of the deck where he stayed for over 20 minutes. Amazing! Looking forward to going back in the fall to see the fall colors!

Sunrises worth waking up for

The sunrises were the best part. The location was excellent for travel to Moors Marina to access our boat that we stored there. The house was as expected. Very clean and accommodating. The kitchen was well stocked with everything we needed. Host was prompt with replies. Would definitely rent again!

Spectacular views and great location

This is the second stay at this rental. It is perfect for us as we rent a boat from Moors Marina every summer. You can’t beat the views or the location. We’ve stayed as a family of four and as a party of eight when we brought our kids’ friends. Both stays were enjoyable with no issues. We highly recommend this rental.

Beautiful Lakehouse

Our family needed some rest and relaxation and this beautiful lake house was the perfect fit! It was decorated so beautifully and had everything that we needed. We enjoyed fishing off the dock that was just steps away. The water views were spectacular. We would love to come back when it is warmer so the kids can jump in the lake!

Kentucky Lake Home

The house was perfect for the two of us. Right on the lake, beautiful view from the sunroom and deck. So relaxing watching the boats go by and the eagles. Five minutes from Moor’s Marina. The home was very clean. Well stocked with all of the dishes, pots and pans and plenty of kitchen and bathroom towels. Greg, the owner, was very responsive and followed up with us to make sure everything was OK. This was our first VRBO rental and was very happy it was a pleasant experience and everything went very smoothly. Would definitely stay here again.

Lakefront Property

Great place and location! The deck provides a beautiful view of the lake and the dock is great if you’re renting a boat or jet ski. Definitely bring a fan as the living room gets pretty warm. But the two back bedrooms stay cool with their own ac units. Nicely stocked kitchen. Definitely recommend.

Great for Families

This was our second time staying at this lovely lake house, and we are already looking at dates for 2024! The house is clean, organized, and well suited for a family of 5. The owners are very attentive and checked in with us as soon as we arrived. They also went above and beyond to return a very beloved stuffed cat after it was left behind. The views are breathtaking and the fishing is great right off the dock. The kids swam and enjoyed birdwatching which included many eagle sightings. We also brought kayaks and were able to explore the shores of the lake in the uninhabited areas. This has proven to be our family’s favorite vacation spot!

Amazing - perfect retreat.

This is our new go-to lake retreat. Greg was so tentative to our needs. He was so great to rent from. First I’d like to say the sunrises are incredible. The deck is so nice with a lovely tree growing up through it. The house was adorable with comfortable beds and stocked with about everything you could ever need. The dock and the two different decks made for some great family memories. The scenery offered a bald eagle flying, many different ducks, blue herons, and deer. I look forward to returning.

About the host

Hosted by Greg Yandell

Host profile image
Thanks for checking out our home. My wife and I purchased the home in late 2016 and began a major renovation. We both grew up in Western KY, graduated from Murray State University and now live in Nashville. We wanted to purchase a weekend lake home back on KY Lake for the enjoyment of our family.

Why they chose this property

We purchased this home because it represented exactly what we wanted in a weekend getaway, plus the renovation allowed us to put our vision into how a fun lake home should make you feel when you walk through the door. From the interior colors, the shiplap walls, and the lake décor, you will see our vision come through and you can't help but feel like you are in a place where work is frowned upon! If you have children, they will absolutely love the custom made bunk bed room.

What makes this property unique

We focused a great deal on the outdoor experience when renovating the home. We doubled the deck size, retained a very old oak tree that is now an integral part of the deck, and purchased a refurbished antique viewer from a resort in Banff Canada. The viewer is the first thing that people want to experience when they walk out on the deck. You can see clear across the lake with great detail looking through the viewer. You will want to get up early every morning just to witness the sunrise across the lake. With a little cloud cover, the colors are amazing. As the home is situated down the hill and tucked in behind the garage, you get a sense that the home is very private. We also installed a new dock that has a very large 10x40 platform. As this has been a life long dream for us, we put a lot of time planning and executing our vision of our dream lake cottage. I am confident it will bring you as much pleasure as it does us.
