Summary of reviews
Guests loved the beautiful house with great lakeside views, cleanliness, and peaceful surroundings. They enjoyed amenities like the screened-in porch, deck, and proximity to attractions. The owners were friendly and helpful.

We enjoyed our stay. Loved seeing the fox, orchard orioles, and especially the screened in porch. The house was perfect getaway for the four of us. The fishing was not so great but we can’t blame that on vrbo.
5.0 / 5.0
We had an amazing time! House and amenities were exactly as described in the listing. We usually only look at homes that allow dogs because our Border Collie loves the outdoors as much as we do, so we were very happy that this owner has homes that are all pet-friendly! Thanks! House was cozy, comfortable and had everything we needed for a family of 4. Loved the deck and especially the screened-in-porch off one bedroom to sit in the mornings and evenings and enjoy the panoramic view of Lake Barkley. The home was on a dead-end street and very quiet. We really loved that we were so close to 68 to get to LBL, Cadiz, and several State Resort Parks where we spent a lot of time enjoying the nearby sites, LOTS of hiking, shopping and good restaurants. Another huge perk was the owners' offer for a family pass to the Lake Barkley State Park Fitness Center where we used the heated pool, basketball court, etc., almost every day, especially because it was a cooler week and fishing/boating were unfortunately not part of our normal vacation activities. Although we didn't get a chance to use it, there is also a very nice fire pit/sitting area to use. The owners were easy to contact and very helpful. We had an amazing vacation and would love to come back again soon!

Looks exactly like the pictures listed on VRBO. Very much enjoyed my stay!!! Everything was clean and we had everything we needed. I walked my dog several times a day. He also loved laying on deck while I was reading my book. Met very nice people. Lucas Hale and his wife very nice people. Can’t wait to go again.

Enjoyed our stay and will be back! Property was super clean, views of the lake are amazing, appreciated the use of dock space, and property manager was super responsive. Thanks for a great stay!
4.0 / 5.0
The property is very well kept and clean. We enjoyed the screened in porch and all the windows overlooking the lake. It was quiet and relaxing. A few recommendations would be to stock a few pantry items like salt and pepper and Cooking spray, and the bed in the loft is not the best for adults…better for kids sleeping. Thank u for a great time with our family!

This is our favorite place to stay at the lake. We bring our dogs with us, which is fun and they seen right at home. Lucas, the owner, is terrific and helps us out with all kinds of “emergencies”. We appreciate you Lucas!

We found this house to be a real gem. The view was lovely. The location was quiet and peaceful. The house was very clean and well stocked. We loved the deck and screened in porch. Definitely plan on coming back and bringing more family. The reason I gave “accuracy of listing “ 4 stars is because I was hoping my grandsons could fish from the shoreline, and they could, but the drop from the last step to the ground was pretty significant. It didn’t by any means lessen our enjoyment of the property.
2.5 / 5.0
Beautiful property with breath taking views of the lake. Will go back!
2.5 / 5.0
The property was as noted. Everything about it was just fine. The view of the lake was beautiful. Our visit was just for 3 day St Patrick's Day get together. We visited several restaurants and antique shops everyone was friendly and accommodating.
2.5 / 5.0
Owner was more than helpful with all questions and took immediate care of a few small problems. I don't like saying any thing negative, but the kitchen needs to be better furnished .
Both bathrooms being "en suite " would be very awkward if there were more guests staying in the loft ( or visitors ).
It was fine for our family , but for other groups it would not be adviseable. I still give the accomodations 5 stars.
2.5 / 5.0
Fell in love with Bridgeview. Nicely appointed home with all your needs met. Cleanest VRBO I’ve ever stayed in. Outside was kept beautifully as well. Nice furnishings inside and out. Cards, books, games, puzzles to utilize. Fire pit and fireplace very nice. The views!!!!! Screened porch was so great for coffee and reading. Please see to repair of bottom ten steps to shoreline as were less than desirable. One step missing. Need better WIFI connection, only able to get service one of the four days. Gas and groceries near by!!
2.0 / 5.0
Spectacular view and the inside of the home was very clean, well maintained. However, with such a nice view of the lake, we wished there had been more attention to cleaning the deck/porch chairs and doors which were filthy with cobwebs and spiders.
The home sits on a nice, quiet street with just a view other homes. It’s very close to Land between the Lakes recreation area (hiking trails, biking trails, Bison prairie, etc).

Great time came home for Christmas and the owner even had a tree up for the presents
2.5 / 5.0
We thoroughly enjoyed our stay here. The property and views are outstanding. The house was very clean. Communication with Lucas was very easy and if we had a question he was prompt to respond. Such a great place for some rest and relaxation. We ate at Pattis and walked around the shops. Well worth the 30 minute drive. We would love to return!
2.5 / 5.0
The property was very comfortable and the views were amazing. The screened-in porch was great for rainy and chiller days.The front porch had a fantastic view of the bay, nice place to sit with morning coffee. We rented the pontoon and got to explore the lake which was very convenient. Kids loved the pool at the fitness center as well. Lucas was very responsive to any questions we had.
2.5 / 5.0
This property is everything we could ask for and more. A gorgeous view of the lake and four bald Eagle sightings right from the comfort of a wonderful sectional. The location was convenient to both the north and south ends of Land Between the Lakes. In four days we enjoyed hiking the Honker, Hermatite, Fort Henry, and Fort Donelson trails and a portion of the North/South trail. We checked out the Elk & Bison Prairie, GoldenPond Planetarium, Patti’s Settlement for lunch, and the Redneck Pig food truck. I would definitely stay here again during a different month to enjoy biking and kayaking. Thanks Lucas for the opportunity to stay at this wonderful home.

The cabin was super clean and quiet for our short trip. Short drive to Cadiz offers some nice restaurants. Overall a great time. Would like to come back in the summer when it is warmer.
2.5 / 5.0
Property was fantastic for a relaxing getaway. I did not read far enough into the information to see the hottub is not at the house which was disappointing but my own fault. The view of the water makes up for it but one on the screened in Porch would be perfect. Would be perfect in the summer with kids.
2.5 / 5.0
Perfect view and relaxing place. Nice and quiet neighborhood. Very clean and roomy
2.5 / 5.0
This place was just what we wanted. GREAT view of the lake. Water access with good fishing. So close to Land Between the Lakes (10 minutes to the elk and bison prairie). And just down the road from a Dollar General for any last minute needs. We would recommend this place to anyone!
2.5 / 5.0
We brought our 4 kids (11, 9, 6 & 2) to the lake for a quick fall trip. We had a wonderful time. We fished from the rocks below the dock and also down at the “beach” at the end of the road. Had we brought chairs we could’ve stayed there all day long. The house was clean & had a beautiful view of the lake. We played games, watched movies and spent time together as a family. Much needed trip away! Can’t wait to revisit in summer and rent a boat.
2.5 / 5.0
Our stay was amazing! Love the house and the location. All the necessities were provided which was a nice touch. A surprise was there was a washer and dryer which ended up being convenient because the kiddos got some clothes muddy. The kids loved the loft area and the little door under the stairs they called it their secret clubhouse! Lucas was very quick to respond to any questions we had! Haley was also very helpful when we were wondering about kayak rentals! Will definitely stay again!!!
