Luxurious Lakefront Custom Home - 4 secluded acres - WFH/HotDesk Friendly

Don’t be fooled by the natural surroundings, this home has all the amenities. Work from Home / HotDesk friendly. High Speed internet is available throughout the home and all the outdoor living space. Plenty of secluded areas to work while the family enjoys the home, the lake, or the surroundings. If you cannot unplug, the signal will reach the hammock. High Def 55'' LCD TV, YouTubeTV, AmazonFireStick and Apple TV stream whatever you want, whenever you want. Movies, music, it’s all there and available on demand. Top of the line technology features inside and out.

The gourmet kitchen if fully stocked with any utensil and gadget you would need. 2 refrigerators on site so you can stock up on your favorite food and drinks with room to spare. Huge pantry, double wall oven, and island ensure room for all the cooks to be in the kitchen.

3,000 sf of outdoor living space is highlighted by the “Autumn Porch” with a 25’ cathedral ceiling and deep seating for your group. Patio Heater for cool nights and all you need to grill or smoke the gourmet meal you’ve been planning all week.

Hike one of our trails and explore the miles of shoreline Barren River Lake has to offer. Launch the 2 person canoe and explore the lake and shore line for hours alone or with a friend. Life jackets from infant to XXL are on site and plentiful. For some real solitude take the Stand Up Paddle Board out and explore, fish, meditate or practice yoga.

Toast marshmallows or s’mores in the fire pit, or swing in the breeze from the 2 person hammock. Practice your marksmanship with the BB gun and targets on site.

Enjoy the best of both worlds with your family and friends at our lakeside retreat.

Area Attractions: Mammoth Cave National Park is less than 30 minutes door - door. Many restaurants and retailers are available within 10 minutes drive in Glasgow, KY. Barren River State Resort park and marina is an easy 7 mile drive. Bowling Green is 40 minutes away and is home to hundreds of restaurants, bars, shops, National Corvette Museum, Bowling Green Motorsports Park and Olde Stone golf course. Horseback riding and golf at the Barren River State Park are a big hit. Finally, one of our favorites between Memorial Day and Labor is lake church, a waterfront gathering of Christians enjoying fellowship and God's creation.

Recreation: This home was built for making a lifetime of memories for our family and yours. Our 4 acre property offers plenty of room to explore, relax, and get away from everything. A gentle stream feeds a cove that borders our property which then feeds into the main channel of the lake. A canoe and pedal boat are available for your use along with a Stand Up Paddleboard.

If you'd like to bring your own vessel the Beaver Creek Boat Ramp only 2 miles away for launch. Target shooting is a family favorite and there is ample open space for football, baseball, and outdoor games of all kinds. Covered porches afford you the opportunity to be outside regardless of the weather with gorgeous views. HD Network TV is the perfect centerpiece for sports gatherings including NFL playoffs, NCAA Final Four, Master's Weekend, etc.

Twice annually the ultimate HighDef experience is the migration of millions of sandhill cranes just overhead southbound late fall, and northbound in early spring.

Other: This is a US Army Corp of Engineer managed lake. The levels vary significantly throughout the year. The lake is brought up to 'summer pool' each year in mid April. The levels start to drop in late October. You can see actual levels and 'target' levels online. Please inquire for the URL.

Nice property | Beautiful Setting

We stayed here as a team for a work outing and the property easily accommodated our team. We spent most of our time enjoying the open spaces and the generous wrap around porch. This property is definitely worth a look for larger groups.

Family Celebration

The property is one in a million! Off the beaten path overlooking the lake, we couldn't get over how beautiful it was. We were gathering as a family for our parent's 50th wedding anniversary with ages ranging between 3-72. The house had everything you could need. Everyone enjoyed the great room off the kitchen, and the downstairs game level was a hit. We all enjoyed walking the different trails on property, even had a waterfall the kids loved. It was an easy drive to near by marinas and local restaurants. The owner was easy to communicate with at all times. We would stay here again in a heart beat!

CHRISTMAS FESTIVITIES

We are a growing family with pets and our home does not accommodate everyone very well at Christmas time. We rented this lake home and it was amazing! There was plenty of room and a separate area the teens and younger children enjoyed - away from the adults. We played cards, ate, watched movies and football games, ate, walked down to the lake, ate and loved our family time with those close and those far away. Everything we needed was provided. We had great conversatons about "Eddie".... you'll have to book to get our meaning! Shawn was very responsive when we had a question, which meant a lot! 5 Stars from our family!

Delightful Family Holiday Retreat

This beautiful isolated property on Lake Barren River was perfect for our family retreat. The house is spacious, well equipped, and clean. The property manager was attentive and very responsive to our needs. There is ample space for walking and outdoor activities weather permitting. During the winter the lake is non-existent per water activities, but the creek flowing into the lake provided opportunities for exploration and discovery. The nearest restaurants are six miles away (not a bad drive), but the kitchen is well equipped for cooking all meals. There is a grill available if desired. Outside heating unit is also available. We chose not to use either. The retreat house met our family needs and provided us space to recreate inside and out.

Summer Getaway

The house is located on a quiet part of the lake. It was perfect for canoeing, swimming, paddle boarding, swimming and fishing. The porch was were we hung out most of the time to relax, play games and eat. Communication with the owner was no issue. Very responsive. We would definitely stay here again if retuning to the Barren River Lake area for a vacation.

The perfect landing place

We came to Glasgow on a special mission. We live in California. Our daughter was born via surrogate at TJ Sampson hospital and we needed a home to stay a couple days and get to know each other after bringing her home from the hospital and before flying home. Shawn’s home was perfect. He was so accommodating! I have an allergy to detergent with fragrance and he made sure there was allergy friendly detergent on site. He didn’t have a pack and play so he encouraged us to buy one and leave it at the house - and he reimbursed us right away. We felt taken care of. We are so thankful to have stayed at this beautiful home during such a special time in our family history. We loved sitting out on the deck together. It was just perfect. Thank you!

Excellent getaway at this beautiful home

Cannot say enough wonderful things about this gorgeous property. The home is beautiful, it goes above and beyond in being fully stocked, & has all of the amenities to make anyone feel right at home. All of the bedrooms and beds were very comfortable, we slept 8 with ample space and plenty of extra beds, actually. The kitchen had everything that you need to prepare meals for a big group. One the best aspects of the home is the outdoor living space! The decks were absolutely perfect for game nights, eating meals, enjoying coffee and just hanging out, rain or shine. The walk down to the dock was very easy and convenient. We could not recommend this place enough—it will not disappoint! The owners were wonderful and always available to help if we needed anything. We can’t wait to be back again soon.

We had a wonderful family getaway at this property. The house was perfect for us. Bedrooms were spread out, great open space on the main floor and basement was a hit with the kids. Well stocked with everything we needed to cook meals, grill and relax. Location on the lake was great and it was easy to get down to the dock. The kids loved swimming at the dock and using the canoe and paddle boat. We hope to return again! Would highly recommend this property!

Amazing cabin

We booked this cabin very last minute due to a cancellation of our original reservation. Shawn was great to work with and the cabin was amazing. It was so spacious and the deck was one of our favorite places to spend time. We even had room to play cornhole! The beds were all comfortable and we had plenty of room for 12 women. The basement was a fun play area with the ping pong table. The kitchen was outstanding. We all brought food to prepare and found everything we needed in the kitchen. It was nice having an extra fridge downstairs as well. We weren't able to access the dock during our stay but there was a perfect little beach about a mile away. It had a swimming area and was great for spending the day in the water. I can't say enough about how wonderful the cabin was for our weekend getaway!

Relaxing beyond measure

We recently had the opportunity to stay at this beautiful Barren River Lake home. The home in and of itself is spectacular. The inside decor is beautiful. Functionally it is designed so that everyone can be together but also has many spots to retreat should you need a little alone time. (As a side note, the stand up urinal was a fascination to all the boys and a bonus to the ladies who enjoyed not worrying about whether or not the seat was lifted!) Everything you could ever want was in the house to cook, wash the lake swim suits or simply enjoy a glass of wine which was left for us by the owners. We also enjoyed some family pool and ping pong games in the lower level. Moving outside is really what sells this house. Rain or shine you could sit out on the deck to enjoy the scenery. There was ample outdoor seating, a great grill and an outdoor fan provided a nice breeze should you catch a hot KY summer day. The trail to the lake was awesome and easy to maneuver. The dock was the place to be for fishing, swimming or hopping on the little paddle boat. All ages enjoyed the cove with the many fish, turtles and the heron who seemed to follow us wherever we went. My son claims to have seen a little otter which grew larger as the tale was told multiple times. This area of the lake is perfect as it seems to get less boat traffic and yet if you rent/have a boat of your own, is a great place to dock or head out for some lake fun. Overall, this HomeAway location is awesome and relaxing beyond measure. Being KY natives we did not go to the Corvette Museum or Mammoth Cave but both are worth the time and a stones throw away. Hope to be back soon......
