The Kentucky Kajun! A Beautiful 5 Bed / 4 Bath Cabin On Barren River Lake. Sleeps 14!

Make your family memories at this Barren River Lake Beauty! Welcome to your lake vacation home!

From the moment you walk into this charming cabin you will feel the warmth and privacy of the home, the calm of the lake and the beauty from all its countryside surroundings. Nestled on Bailey’s Point with one of the best views of Barren River Lake sits this beautifully appointed 5 bedroom and 4 full bath log cabin. Sit, relax and enjoy the most beautiful sunset on the entire lake right on your back porch or bring your thirst for adventure on the lake by enjoying many of the hiking trails nearby. Our neighbor to the east is a quaint working dairy farm. You can see wildlife like deer and turkey in their fields while enjoying coffee on the front porch. Sometimes, when the wind is just right, you may even catch the smell of what makes the grass grow so good ☺️ To some, that may not be too pleasant and for some it may bring back great memories but either way it is temporary and hey, it lets you know you’re not in the city anymore, and that's why we come here!
Regardless your desires, bring your friends or family and make your memories here at our Barren River Cabin, “The Kentucky Kajun”, and get a first hand experience how life on the lake should be.

After dinner, bring the family downstairs to enjoy all the amenities of the walkout basement. In addition to a number of board games, it also features two additional bedrooms, and a flat screen TV for movie or game night with the family (PlayStation 3 included).

Perfect lake getaway
The cabin is perfect with beautiful views and a layout that is great for families. Some of our party could not make it so we had way more space than needed but it has a bedroom with 2 beds on ground floor which was ideal for my elderly parents. The cabin was superbly clean and had every amenity you could think of plus many thoughtful touches that enhanced our experience. I wish I’d discovered the cabin when my kids were little because they would have flipped over it even more as kids than as teens. The hosts were fabulous, kind, thoughtful and quick to communicate.

Relaxing stay.
My family tries to get together every couple of years, because we all live in different states. We take turns picking the meeting point where we stay and this one was my pick. I'm pretty proud because it was exactly what I wanted, a place to relax and unwind. We did just that. The lake was beautiful and the cabin was very comfortable and felt like a second home away from home. I recommend it to anyone, 5-stars!

40th Birthday Meetup
A group of us met up that have known each other online for years. It was one of our 40th birthday parties and the hosts went above and beyond to set up some surprises for our arrival. It was a beautiful cabin and would definitely suggest staying there. The view if the lake with a fire going was amazing as well.

Beautiful lakeside cabin with all the extra touches
This stay has been one of my favorite ever. Our extended family spent four days at Kentucky Kajun as we celebrated my daughter’s college graduation. The cabin was perfect. The hosts provided all the little extra touches that we didn’t even know we needed. From blankets by the fire pit and on every floor to a well stocked kitchen with many spices and necessities to candy in the entryway—we were treated every where we went. The outdoor area was amazing and had everything once again! We were so excited to find a balloon arch with congratulations for our daughter, as well as fun photo props and a mug full of candy. The cabin was clean and the beds were amazing. I could type positive things all day! I can’t wait to visit again!

Beautiful, well kept and equipped large cabin overlooking Barren River Lake. Gorgeous setting. Our host Cori, was informative, responsive, and thoughtful. She recognized our wedding, with balloons, congratulations and bride flip flops. We were shocked by all of the equipment avaliable for our use. The kitchen was very well equipped with just about anything we might of needed. I could go on and on... ;-) Everything was excellent.

This property was perfect. The managers within my region were burnt out and just needed to release some stress and our stay at the Kentucky Kajun was exactly the place to do that. We had an absolute blast and Cori was absolutely wonderful as a host. Strongly recommend the Kentucky Kajun for anyone wanting a great peaceful place with an amazing view

Fantastic Spring Break!
The Kentucky Kajun was perfect for our 2 families! The cabin was beautiful, clean, and plenty spacious. The views and sunsets were amazing! The climb down to the lake was a fun adventure - handled easily by the children (ages 9-14) and adults (40's). The hot tub and fire pit were fun to return to after a day of hiking, cave exploring, and kayaking. One of the best amenities of the Kentucky Kajun is the host!! Cori was phenomenal and provided excellent, detailed info about the surrounding areas and was very attentive to ensure we had a wonderful time. She truly went above and beyond to make sure we were well taken care of!

Kentucky Kajun all the way
We met up with some Ohio friends for some R&R over spring break and WOW! We were so happy at the Kentucky Kajun. We had sunsets by the fire while the boys grilled. One night we all went to skip rocks at sunset and that was unforgettable.Kids loved the bunk room. We loved having our own bathrooms. Kitchen is STOCKED! I strongly encouraged you to bring your own fruits and vegetables because the dollar general nearby is very picked over. Overall 10 out of 10 highly recommend! Only con: A smell from nearby cattle comes and goes.

We met family in Kentucky as it was a midpoint between Chicago and Atlanta. The cabin and owners were incredible. The cabin was fully stocked and had everything we needed for an amazing reunion. The entire setup between the decks, fire pit, hot tub, and lake views were spectacular. Every little detail was thought of and available to include everything needed for snores.

We are already trying to decide when we can go back!

Spacious yet cozy cabin
Our family had a wonderful time staying in this gem of a rental! Cori goes above and beyond to make sure her guests feel welcomed to her beautiful home! We stayed around the holidays and it was beautifully decorated for Christmas! Location was great…peaceful runs in the morning and close enough for us to do tours at Mammoth Caves. We had stopped at Food Lion on our way from Nashville since there aren’t really any grocery stores nearby. Cori was great with communication to make sure our stay was the best it could be. We highly recommend this rental!

Family Christmas at the cabin
From the beginning, before ever stepping on the property my interactions wit Cori was pleasant from the get go. She answered all my questions beforehand. The cabin itself was perfect for our family. It had such a cozy vibe and the grandkids had a blast with all the games and toys there. It was very quiet and relaxing with a view to boot. We will definitely plan for another trip in the future. Such a great spot to unwind with family.

About the host

Hosted by Cori

Host profile image
In 2010, we traveled to Nashville, TN for our 20th anniversary. While there, we took a drive up to Kentucky Lake and spent the weekend. We fell in love with the rolling corn fields and the rocky knolls. Being “flat landers” from Louisiana, we were enamored by the old barns, clear bubbling creeks and the stunning sunsets. We bought a farm that very year!

After traveling to different counties and meeting new friends along the way, we started bringing spices and goodies from home. One of our good old boys from Lyon County, KY called us one day and asked, “when is our Kentucky Kajun family bringing us some treats?” Ever since then, the name stuck! When we saw this log home was available, we knew it was meant to be The Kentucky Kajun.

Now down the bayou we don’t grow tobacco, but we grow Tabasco. And we don’t have the Kentucky Downs, but in the swamp, we have crawfish towns, and we are sure honored you chose to stay with us. We hope we spiced up your vacation a bit with our cabin on the lake.

Why they chose this property

When we visit our cabin we enjoy fishing in the lake and many other activities. There is a nearby golf course, Mammoth Cave, The Corvette Museum, Hiking Trails, Distilleries, Nashville and many other attractions. See our Information Booklet when you arrive for any special area activities or deals.

Mostly we fell in love with the peacefulness of rural Kentucky.

What makes this property unique

Beautiful sunset views on the best bank of the lake, Bailey's Point
Last rent-able cabin on the point before the campground
You might find Kajun Spices in the cabinets!
Spread out rooms for privacy
Game room with Foosball, play station, Arcade and other treats
High chair for the little one, baby gate, pack-n-play
Hot tub with a view
