Location: Murray, Kentucky Lake, Kentucky, USA (Murray)
Accommodations: Cottage, 3 Bedrooms, 2 Baths (Sleeps 3-5)
The Cottage's Maximum Occupancy is Five Guests.
The architect's plan for this recently refurbished, lovely stone cottage, positioned with truly the greatest view of the main Lake was to create the ultimate retreat for honeymoon couples or friends in search of prime hunting and fishing. A wonderful base from which to explore Kentucky Lake has successfully been constructed. The 680 square-foot lake front area of the deck offers spectacular sunrises without another structure in sight - only a calm unspoiled setting - the lake and nature. This perfect environment seems complete as visitors experience the remarkable image of a Bald Eagle reflected on the water as it soars in to perch on the branch of a surrounding tree. The wrap around deck totals 1100 square feet and is the ideal place to discover the beauty and serenity of Kentucky Lake by the light of day or under a starry sky at any season of the year. There is no more private setting to begin and end your visit to Kentucky Lake or have a wonderfully romantic, memorable wedding with the majestic lake atmosphere as a backdrop.
While the cottage's design maintains a rustic mood special attention has been paid to provide distinctive quality furnishings and unique amenities that ensure the guests' comfort and a restful visit. The top floor of the cottage has a cathedral ceiling. The living space and dining area feature a grand stone fireplace and floor to ceiling windows that share the main deck's great views. Two well appointed queen bedded rooms and a full bath are also upstairs. Downstairs with a separate entrance is a quaint twin bedded room with a full bath, as well as a laundry facility.
Guests have access to the property's boat dock - simply walk across the lawn to your boat! There is a boat launch one minute from the cottage and ample parking on the property for a boat trailer. The dock has electrical for charging batteries and there is a marina with fuel conveniently located just one cove away.
Imagine coming home to such a peaceful and relaxing dwelling after a day spent enjoying one or more of the area’s several attractions and activities. Of course our focus is on the lake: boating and water sports, and a location where the population of bluegill, bass, crappie, and catfish make for a fisherman’s paradise.
FISHING: The fish are surely not hard to find, but for visitors with the goal of maximizing their fishing experience the owners have established relationships with the areas most knowledgeable guides. We are delighted to introduce guests to any one of these specialists who have each made it their life’s passion to master and uncover this lake’s greatest features: impressive fishing opportunities and as well as the wide array of wildlife. They are at the disposal of the expert or the novice and promise anyone wishing to learn and have the mysteries of Kentucky Lake revealed a day they will long remember.
GOLF: In addition to the satisfaction a day on the water offers, just a 15 minute drive away is Miller Memorial Golf Course - considered to be one of the finest golf courses in west Kentucky's lakes region, it presents many challenges for even the most seasoned golfer.
LAND BETWEEN THE LAKES: While guests have a direct view of Land Between the Lakes from the cottage itself, in only 15 minutes they may drive and enjoy all this national recreation area has to inspire in person: 170,000 acres of wildlife, history, and outdoor activity opportunities, surrounded by 300 miles of undeveloped shoreline. LBL’s Elk & Bison Prairie is a 700-acre restoration of Kentucky’s native barrens. The Homeplace is an 1850’s working farm where west Kentucky’s history comes alive - Interpreters in period clothing demonstrate on a daily basis the chores and activities of another time. There are special events and festivals for every season. On another day one might return to explore the 200 miles of trails, the Nature Station, or the Golden Pond Planetarium & Observatory.
