Relaxing cabin on Lake Barkley
My husband and I, along with our 2 kids (ages 21 & 19) and our dog enjoyed a relaxing long weekend in the beautiful home. We were looking for a place to reconnect and unplug. Our daughter attends Murray State, so this was a great meeting point.
The view of the lake/river is beautiful. We loved stargazing and watching the wildlife: migrating geese, bald eagles, birds, and deer. The sunsets were beautiful. The neighborhood was quiet and the overall setting was peaceful.
The main living area is spacious yet still has a cozy feel to it. The master bedroom is snug, but the view is beautiful and the bed is comfortable. The kids shared the second bedroom, but we brought a twin air mattress for our son to use, while his older sister took the double bed. There was plenty of room to move around in that room even with the air mattress set up. The kitchen was very well equipped, and the deck is perfect in every way.
There is no water access from the cabin, but since we didn't have a boat and weren't planning to go into the water, this was fine with us. The street is very quiet and was a great place to take the dog for a walk.
The cabin is close to LBL, and fairly easy to get to. We will definitely stay here again. My husband said that it was the best vacation he has ever had. If you're looking for a quiet, relaxing place to listen to nature, read a book, play board games but still want to be close to civilization, this place is an absolute gem! We loved every minute we were there.
