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!

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.

Perfect get away
This was a great get away for sharing quality time with friends and family. We enjoyed cooking and sharing our meals together in the large kitchen/dining space. The kids enjoyed the pool table, swimming, fishing, paddle boarding, and eating smores by the campfire. We had a wonderful time.

Wonderful property!
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......

Lake Retreat
My law firm chose this property for our retreat this fall. The open layout and private location provide an ideal setting for both work and recreation. The home is amazing and has all the extras one would expect at a first class resort. Wifi kept everyone connected and the large kitchen allowed for easy dining and conversation. The huge deck space allowed our meetings to enjoy the fresh air. We will be back.

Serenity for the Soul
Are you looking for a traquil setting surrounded by nature? Perhaps you need a place to get away from it all. This lake house is the ultimate getaway from all the stresses of life. This is the place for you and your family or just a group of friends! I have been lucky enough to experience this gorgeous lake house twice. Once for a large family gathering and another time for a girls' getaway relaxation weekend. I must say that it was ideal for both! This well decorated, cozy home offers space for everyone from adults to children. The bedrooms are huge and are equipped with double bunkbeds as well as additional double beds in the same room! The master suite is beautiful and soothing with its pale blue and brown accents. The best part of the house is the outdoor patios. Dozens can gather on the side porch on the various couches and cozy chairs, or you can just have an intimate gathering. Porches downstairs and upstairs allow everyone their own private area to visit and read. A grill is provided for cooking outdoors and you can always take a walk down to the lake for some boating or swimming. The kitchen is equipped with everything you need and more. Top of the line appliances coupled with a large island for serving make the kitchen, great room combination ideal for sharing a meal with friends. I HIGHLY recommend this lake house for any size family gathering. I cannot wait to return and look forward to the serenity it offers!

Family Gathering
Best long week end, with extended family, in years. Home is absoluely beautiful with every amenity one would ever need. You can tell the owners are well traveled, as they have prepared this home for it's visitors.
The wrap around multiple decks gave us great pleasure with it's views and the fellowship with family it provided. The lake was great. We fished and everybody got into the water sports, including the great grandmother!
We gave it an excellent rating, because, it deserved it.
Hope to do again some day.

Beautiful
Our family had a fabulous time at your beautiful lake house. Everything was just perfect for getting away from a hectic everyday life. The boys loved being able to run through the "forest" on the trails and the fishing. The canoe rides were especially enjoyable for them. Our daughter even learned to play chess! We loved the quiet and calm. Every part of the house was very cozy and comfortable, not to mention exceptionally clean. The location is perfect for privacy but still so convenient to dining and shopping. We have all been raving about what a great place you have to friends and family since we got home. We can't wait to come back!!

Beautiful Lake Home
This home was everything we expected and more! The upscale amenities were wonderful – it is a luxurious lake house with all of the extras. The house had plenty of space for everyone to have their privacy and for the kids to play indoors when needed. Our family enjoyed fishing and swimming off the dock, hanging out on the porches together, and a great bonfire. The owners went above and beyond to make sure we had everything we needed for the weekend. We definitely recommend this home to other renters and would love the chance to go back again!
