Ok

Great location, easy check in. Very quiet and relaxing. Cabin had everything we needed.

House is nice, & roomy, needs quite a few fairly minor repairs. Beach description misleading, not kid friendly.

Really enjoyed renting this spacious property. Loved the beautiful view of Lake Barkley from the screened-in porch as well as the deck. Owner was readily available to answer our inquiries. Owner also provided pontoon boats to enjoy at a reasonable price. Would definitely stay at this property again.

We really wanted to love this place. The great location, the beautiful views of the lake, the easy access to the water, it is all as described. So, if you are planning on spending all your time in, by, or on the water, this might work for you. If, however, you are also looking for indoor comforts, you might be disappointed. Our biggest issues were the bedrooms. The room downstairs was extremely loud since the air conditioner is literally on the other side of the bed's headboard. I am not sure how anybody could get a good night's sleep there. My family couldn't. The bunk bed frame is so squeaky that you can hear it throughout the entire house every time someone turns in that bed. I don't know how more than one person can sleep in that bed and get any rest. Except for the room with the bunk bed, none of the rooms have bedside lamps. If you want to read an old fashioned book at night, you will have to do it with the overhead lights on. If you need to get up in the middle of the night, good luck finding the light switches on the wall. Nor ideal for kids or elderly people. The bedside lamps are certainly not a huge issue but representative of the overall lack of TLC. This house could be a real gem but needs some serious attention, starting with a deep cleaning (think cabinet and closet door, floor boards, THE SCREENED-IN PORCH!). Making sure that the doors fit well into their frames might also prevent mice in the house. Not my idea of a relaxing vacation to start the day by cleaning mouse droppings off the kitchen counter. To summarize, we were determined to have a good time and we did -- but it shouldn't have taken such effort. Btw, the property manager was very responsive and immediately took care of issues that we reported to him; namely, those issues that could easily be addressed (Obviously, he couldn't have done anything about the location of the air conditioner, etc.).

The property is well maintained and is exactly like the pictures depicted. it was clean and ready for us to enjoy our week there. the neighbor hood is very quite and peaceful. Thanks you for such an enjoyable time.

Our family of four takes our two grandparents to this or neighboring lake properties every 4th of July weekend. Lucas never fails to deliver a great, hassle-free renting experience. Recommend the BBQ at Greg's Grill and ice cream at Lake Barkley Marina. Good summer fun!

We were very happy with this property. The view of the lake is lovely and we spent a lot of time by the water. We especially appreciated the screened in porch, the ice maker and the good internet!

The view and the multi-levels of decking allowed us to enjoy the lake and not be cramped! We had some squirrels visit us on the screen in porch as they had a nest in the rafter (or maybe we visited them). Manager was very quick so acknowledge them. Open floor plan was nice. Very clean. The basement was very cold (we had temps in the 40’s - 60’s) and no matter what we did on the thermostat it remained cold. You may want to pack extra blankets! Otherwise, we enjoy our stay and would go back!

Nice place to just hang out after a day of fishing or exploring the area. Clean and comfortable and private enough without feeling completely out in the boonies.

We enjoyed our stay overall. The location is perfect for us. River views and we love the cove as well. Communication with the property owner and check In was easy. The front door entrance was a mess due to a birds nest on the front porch. The kitchen sink leaked twice while we were there which was a huge nuisance. Lucas fixed it once and then it broke again. Just a suggestion to the propert owner. Go the extra mile and fix that the right way so future guests won’t have the same issues we did. The view of the cove and the ability to walk right down to the river is awesome. Overall we enjoyed ourselves. Dealing with the broken sink was inconvenient and frustrating but we made the best of it. The wildlife was awesome. If you love Bald Eagles you’ll see some for sure.

We spent Thanksgiving weekend at the lake house and really enjoyed it. The location was great, the view was wonderful and the house had everything we needed for a great weekend. The only issue we had while there was the basement was pretty chilly compared to the upstairs but it was manageable with extra blankets on the bed for sleeping. Overall it was a great trip and somewhere we would absolutely visit again! The host was very helpful as well. I messaged on the day we were to arrive that our arrival time would be later than expected and they had the house lights turned on and ready for us when we got there so we didn't have to walk into a dark house that night. Very thoughtful!

Just as advertised. Had everything needed for a relaxed weekend get away. Really enjoyed the screened in porch.

Very easy check in process and Mr Hale was very helpful the entire trip. If you want a quiet relaxing place to stay this is it!

Our experience was great. The house was extremely clean, decorated nicely, comfortable and fun to spend time in. The screened-in porch on the back with the lake view was perfect for early morning coffee and late game nights. We loved the large decks on the front and back, along with the large yard. Kayaks were available upon request. The neighborhood was safe and friendly. It was a quick drive to anything you needed. Lucas was quick to respond and very helpful. Couldn't have asked for more. Great stay!

Nice relaxing few days. Quiet neighborhood. Easy access to lake. Well stocked. Rented pontoon from the property manager that was few doors down. Easy process. Enjoyed our time on the lake but I will say if you don’t know lake Barkley it isn’t easy to navigate to avoid shallow areas. Loved all the hummingbirds around. Would stay again.

Super cute place. The view was spectacular. The grill came in handy. It had everything we needed!

Keith was very helpful eradicating the wasps under the deck and porch area. Evan was always around to answer questions and help out. He supplied us with a fantastic pontoon and tube one day and kayaks and canoes another day. Your helpers are top notch. Thanks you so much for a wonderful week. Larry & Linda

My husband and I stayed at this house for a short getaway for our anniversary. Nice view of the lake everyday, my husband fished some, we watched movies and just relaxed. Had everything we needed! We cooked breakfast every morning and grilled out lunch/supper!! Thanks for a great anniversary getaway!!

House was easy to get to, we rented multiples 270/296. Owners/managers have multiple on the same road. Lucas was very attentive and close by when needed. No issues. Check in and out was painless. There is a driveway at the point to get closer to the water if the hill is an issue for elderly or those with bad knees.

The house was very clean when we arrived, and check-in couldn't have been easier. The house is appointed economically, so don't expect anything high-end. Everything works, but items are worn. Also, there's a bonus bed that wasn't in the listing! There's a 5th bed in the basement under the staircase. It's a twin bed and large enough for a grown adult. Lucas, the property manager is great! He was quick to respond to all of our requests. He gave us some great advice on places and activities to try in the area. We also rented a pontoon boat from the associated Enjoy Lake Barkley. The pontoon was rather weathered and could use some upholstery repair, but it ran well and got us where we needed to get to. Having the gas topped off every day included in the price is really great! Overall, I would recommend this property, just making sure you have the right expectations.

First of all let me say the property manager was very helpful in trying to fix a lot of things that were broke in this house and even said to me”Of all the houses I manage, people complain about this one the most”. The homeowner needs to repair a bunch of stuff before someone else pays over $1600 a week to stay here. Basement bedroom, mattress is like a taco, terrible, weird odor coming from the basement bathroom, no bedside table to put your things on, upstairs, washer dial broke, dryer quit in the middle of drying clothes and would not come back on, back bedroom fan making a rattling noise when on, frying pan in kitchen with leftover food in it, faucets loose in kitchen and downstairs bathroom, screened in porch door missing, one kitchen chair came apart that we fixed, not enough outlets to plug in the vcr so I left my extension cord behind for the next person, a tiny coffee pot and a tiny garbage can in the kitchen which was constantly being refilled or emptied due to 5 people staying there., no gas for the grill, property manager had to go get one.The mattresses and bathroom upstairs was ok. Personally I feel if you pay over $1600 to stay a week, you should not have to deal with all these concerns although I know things do happen but not this much! We have stayed in multiple VRBO places for vacations in the past and never had this many concerns. We will definitely not be booking this place again.

Great little house with plenty of sleep options for larger groups. Screened in porch, covered front porch, lots of parking, beautiful lot and well kept street. Boat rentals are very reasonable and the lake is awesome. Lucas is an interesting fella if you have the chance to engage him in conversation! When we come back to Barkley Lake, we will surely rent one of his properties.

We really enjoyed the house. It was very clean when we arrived. There were a few small issues through the week, which can happen anywhere anytime and nothing that interfered with our vacation. The property manager was very quick to resolve any issues and was easy to communicate with. The house had all the essentials. It was a beautiful area to stay. We also rented a pontoon from the property manager which was great fun and a very easy process.

The cottage was very clean and cozy, and located in a quiet, tucked-away neighborhood. We only used the upstairs so cannot speak for the downstairs area, but the bed in the upstairs room was nice and comfortable.The view was nice, the kitchen well-stocked, and we received a quick response from the owner in regards to a question we had regarding parking our trailer.The location was great for us as we spent a full day at Turkey Bay, but were also close to the other activities such as the elk and bison prairie, the Homestead, and hiking. It was a great place for a relaxing weekend getaway.

A lot of broken things at this property. Front porch lights did not work, back yard lights did not work. Kitchen main light didn't work. The fan in the spare bedroom was broken, my husband had to fix it in order to turn the fan off that was right above the bunk beds. Our friends also told us there were multiple lights in the basement that didn't work and the toilet seat was broken.
