About this property

Newly Renovated Lakeside Cottage, Beautiful Lake Views With Adjacent Boat Ramp.

Freshly renovated "Lakeside Cottage" overlooking Kentucky Lake just 4 miles south of Paris Landing State Park on the Tennessee River. This home away from home has about 1600 sq.ft which includes 3 bedrooms, 2 baths with a fully updated kitchen, new flooring, new paint, updated baths and a utility room with washer & dryer. The lake and boat ramp are less than 40 yards directly in front of the house. A user friendly floor plan uses the living area to separate the master from the other two bedrooms. The large master bedroom has a spacious ensuite bath with separate tub and shower. The bedroom is furnished with a king size bed, window seat, a 32" TV and great lake views. The 2nd bedroom also has lake views and a queen size bed. The 3rd bedroom has two twin beds with nicely wooded valley views. The living room furnishings include: a wood-burning stone fireplace, a large screen TV with Dish TV satellite service, a game table as well as a sleeper sofa for added sleeping capacity. The open concept living room / dining room / kitchen allows for great family get-togethers. There is a two level deck overlooking Kentucky Lake and the channel of the Tennessee River perfect for sitting, sunning, and watching the river traffic and beautiful sunsets over the water. The deck has a large propane grill for grilling while you enjoy the lake views. South of the cottage there is a fire pit on the lake side perfect to gather around and cook hot dogs and roast marshmellows. The covered front porch provides a nice valley view. There is also a carport for your car, truck or boat. There are four kayaks and a pedalboat to enjoy during your Kentucky Lake vacation. You will not want to leave!
High-speed fiber internet is provided, cell service is excellent allowing for 4G hotspot capability via your phone if needed. If you have a boat the easy ramp access in front of the cottage will be a real plus. If you desire to rent a boat there are 5 marinas/resorts within a 5 mile radius by water. [Paris Landing Marina, Buchanan Resort, Eagles Nest Marina, Fat Daddy's Resort & Leatherwood Resort]
If you need additional room for more people we also own another VRBO property, the Barge Inn. It is less than 500 feet away. The Barge Inn has 2 bdrms + a sleeper sofa & one bathroom. The Barge Inn is about 150' above the lake and provides fantastic views upriver and downriver.

Labor Day Getaway
The hosts are amazing and very accommodating. Thank you again for the early check in and the tasty banana bread. The house was very clean and was comfy and cozy. We enjoyed our trips to the lake and around the community driving with the golf cart. We will definitely stay again if we are back in the area. Thank you for a wonderful Labor Day weekend trip with friends.

Fabulous stay at the Lakeside Cottage
We had a wonderful week at the Lakeside Cottage. The cottage was decorated nicely with a lake theme. It was comfy and cozy. We loved the view. We enjoyed boating, swimming, hiking and spending time by the fire pit at night. We couldn’t have asked for a better time at the Lakeside Cottage. The banana bread from Vince and Pat was delicious and a nice surprise.

Nice getaway spot and great hosts
The hosts are amazing! Made sure to get us info before visit about house/location, answered all questions we had in timely matter, and even made sure to let us know they were around if needed anything. Great location to for us and 4 kids to relax on the lake shore, fish, kayak, pedal boat and just enjoy time away from our normal day to day. House was very clean and had everything we needed and more! Just ourselves, food, sunscreen and bug spray was all we needed to have a super time.

Beautiful cottage with a great view!
We had a great time at The Lakeside Cottage! The cottage is decorated beautifully! We loved all the little details including the puzzle and games. And the views of the lake are outstanding! We enjoyed going down to the beach every night to see the sunset. Each night the sunset was different and more beautiful than the night before. I highly recommend staying at the Cottage!

Wonderful family getaway
We wanted a relaxing place for my daughter's 20th birthday. This was perfect. The communication with the owners before and during our stay was great. They answered all my questions before our trip quickly and were very helpful during our trip. We had a fresh loaf of banana bread and sweet note to greet us. There were 7 of us traveling including my three year old twin granddaughters. The house had everything we needed from books to games even the rainy days were enjoyable. The views of the lake were beautiful from the kitchen table and back deck. The sunsets were awesome. The whole family loved fishing and the fire pit. We also went to the woodlands nature station and the elk and bison prairie near by. We would love to come back when it is warmer to enjoy the paddle boat and kayaks. This house has everything for a great family getaway.

Relaxing - peaceful -rejuvenating stay!
My husband and I enjoyed a weeklong getaway at the Lakeside cottage. The home was perfect. The hosts were outstanding! And the views were amazing. We enjoyed our morning coffee by the lake. Felt adventurous kayaking up and down the river. Enjoyed our daily walks up and down the shoreline. We saw so many bald eagles. And it was neat to see barges so close. And the sunsets were stunning! To top it all off, the hosts were excellent and made us feel so welcome. They were kind, generous, and so helpful. They were quick to respond to any questions I had. The banana bread to welcome us to the cottage was so appreciated. (And so good) We enjoyed meeting them and seeing them throughout our stay. I highly recommend this cottage. And we hope to return soon.

About the host

Hosted by Vince & Patricia Griffin

Host profile image
We moved from Texas in 2010 to retire on the lake to be able to see unmatched sunsets and be close to family in Paris, Tn. We look forward to sharing this lake living experience with you.

Why they chose this property

This property is perfectly situated such that it juts out into the lake enabling lake views on three sides of the property especially in the winter when the leaves are gone. We purchased it and completely renovated it so the inside could be enjoyed as much as the outside. This is a special lakeside setting situated close to the junction of the Tennessee River, the Big Sandy River, Standing Rock Creek, and Short Creek with a Wild Life Refuge just across the lake. The lakeside cottage is located on the widest section of Kentucky Lake.

What makes this property unique

The "lakeside cottage" has been decorated with a coastal theme bringing together the colors of driftwood, water and sunlight. The hill the cottage sits on provides great lake views and steady breezes from the lake on the west and serene valley views from the covered porch on the east.
