About this property

Sunset Cottage at Lake Barkley is a beautifully renovated, 4 bedroom 4 bath waterfront rental home in a quiet cove near Lake Barkley Lodge and Marina. The home has been professionally decorated, with attention to detail to make your stay relaxing and memorable.

Sunset Cottage will accommodate multi-family and friend gatherings and reunions, as it has beds for 12 but will sleep up to 14 people. The kitchen has new stainless appliances, and is fully stocked for families who enjoy cooking. A propane gas grill is also provided. The eat-in kitchen provides a large island that seats 8. A spacious deck has a dining table for 8 and beautiful outdoor wicker furniture. A screened-in porch on the lower level provides a dining table for 6 and wicker furniture to seat an additional 9 people.

The property has a gently sloped yard that leads to a private covered dock and 2 jet ski pads. Guests are invited to use the perimeter of the private dock during the summer months as the owner's boat occupies the covered lift. Ropes and bumpers are provided. A fire pit near the water's edge provides the perfect opportunity for roasting marshmallows and hot dogs, or just relaxing and making memories with family and friends.

Sunset Cottage is located in the popular Little River area of Lake Barkley, with Sandy Beach just across the bay. Enjoy your morning coffee while watching the deer play at the water's edge, or catch a glimpse of the famous Bald Eagles and Great White Pelicans as they soar across the lake.

Two kayaks are provided for guests who would like to explore the tranquil area by water.

The home's loft is the ideal space for a family with kids. It has a king-size bed and 2 twin beds with trundles to accommodate 2 additional persons. The loft includes a full private bath, and a 36 inch Smart TV. Additional Smart TV's are equipped with YouTube TV in the Master Bedroom (42 inch) and Lower Level Family Room (55 inch). The Lower Level Blue Bedroom has a 32 inch flat screen TV with YouTube TV. Ample parking space is provided with driveways on both sides of the home, and includes a carport.

Perfect Vacation Home for 3 Generations

The layout of this home is perfect for kids, parents and grandparents. We stayed for 4 nights during a very rainy week, but had plenty of room to spread out on different levels. Loved having a bathroom linked with each bedroom. We cooked most of our meals at the house and found all the supplies we needed - even a crockpot.The location is great for exploring the Land Between the Lakes. Loved the Homeplace 1850's Working Farm and Nature Center. Would definitely stay here again!

A Relaxing Weekend Away

This house is beautiful, and the location is serene, with deer wandering through the yard throughout the day. We had 8 people stay in the house, and we could have fit more without feeling cramped at all. The house was clean, and the kayaks, screened-in patio, and lounge area down by the water really made our weekend.

Family time

The home was lovely inside and out. Even though it rained all weekend the views were spectacular from every level of the home. The kitchen island was perfect for everyone to sit around and have meals and play games, and the screened in porch was great for hanging out in the evening.

Gamily Memories

Great house. The deck and screened room was perfect for our family. We rented a pontoon boat for the week and was able to tie it to the owner's peer. Kitchen gave four cooks plenty of room to create delicious meals all week. Most certainly will return.

About the host

Hosted by WOW Properties, LLC

We found Sunset Cottage in the Fall of 2016. We are lovers of the lake and outdoors, and wanted to capture memories with our young adult and teen children. We decided to list Sunset Cottage through VRBO since we live in Owensboro, KY, and are unable to be at the lake full time. Sunset Cottage is our Happy Place, and we feel positive that it will become a favorite of yours as well.

Why they chose this property

Simply stated...the view, the lake, the beautiful home. We fell in love....

What makes this property unique

We fell in love with Sunset Cottage because of the design, and the fabulous views of the lake and sunset.
