2000 square foot private Kentucky Lake front home. Beautiful views
of Jonathan Creek bay from every room. Great kitchen with granite countertops. Twenty by thirty-five foot great
room with floor to ceiling windows facing the lake and wood burning
fireplace for chilly nights. Deck and screened porch facing lake. Satellite internet. Sits on approximately 3 1/2 acres plus TVA land. Great for families, duck hunters, fishermen, etc. Long term rentals welcome as well.
I grew up in Mayfield KY about 20 miles from the lake. I now live in St Louis MO. My husband and I built this house so that we could visit our aging parents without the hassle of packing and unpacking all of the time and with a view toward retiring there someday. The house was built for us, not as an income property so it has many touches that other available houses do not have - huge fireplace, oversized windows overlooking the lake, high end appliances, high ceilings, tall doors,maple and cherry floors in the bedrooms, cherry handrails, large yard (3+ acres) etc. After 3 of our parents died, we no longer came to the lake as often but could not bear to sell the house where we had spent so much quality time and where our grandchildren had made so many memories. We decided to rent our house through Homeaway to defray the cost of keeping our part time home and so that others could create great memories there as well.
Melinda purchased this House in 1998
Since we live in a large city, we wanted a place that was away from the hustle and bustle. We found that here. The house sits on 3 acres plus TVA land. We have deer and other wildlife everywhere. At night the stars are very bright and unobstructed by light pollution. You hear the sounds of nature instead of the rumble of cars.
We love that you can see the lake from every room of the house. It just embraces the lake. Additionally the bathrooms have views of the woods. Sitting on the deck at night with a fire or watching the moon rise over the lake is a priceless treat. Kids can play in the woods or yard and you do not have to worry about them. It is just a good place to be..
I had rather be fishing is a great lake house! Our family gathered for our daughter's college graduation and the house was perfect for the occasion. We had everything we needed and more. The house is even better then the pictures online. Totally recommend to get away and relax. Hope to visit again!
We are so glad that you enjoyed your stay. The lake is always beautiful but Spring is special.
We stayed at I'd rather be fishing two weeks ago and will definately go back. It was so relaxing and beautiful. The dock is amazing. We enjoyed the view of the lake from every room and the fireplace on the deck. The house is equipped with everything you need and is very well kept. Very quiet and relaxing.
Thank you. The water is low in the fall but that provides opportunities for hiking on the lake or going to the beach on the point below the Cemetery. It is covered by water the rest of the year. We have so many migratory birds in the fall that we can watch from the dock or the house plus deer are everywhere, especially the mudflats. Now we have eagles building a nest in the pines in the front yard so we will be able to watch them raise their young in the winter. So much wildlife!
The house and lake was more than we ever expected......it was wonderful. You could not ask for a better lake home. We felt very comfortable and enjoyed the area very much. Hope to be back this spring.
Even though the water is low In October, it is one of my favorite times of the year to be at the lake. The Pelicans arrive and often put on a show and the fall colors are beginning. I am glad you enjoyed your stay.
My family and I had a wonderful experience visiting the lake house. The home was immaculate, the view of the lake and property was absolutely gorgeous. Sitting on the dock overlooking the water with the breeze coming in was so peaceful and relaxing. We certainly hope to return in the future, and would definitely recommend visiting this special place.
The home and property are everything advertised and much more . We stayed with one of our sons and his three small boys . It is VERY fully equipped and located in a beautiful setting . We will return !
So glad you enjoyed your stay. What a great opportunity to see the Great American Eclipse over the lake with people you love! Thank you for the review. We always appreciate feedback.
Best vacation ever.. Don't want to go home. The house was amazing.
Very private area. Great for getting away from it all. Sleep in the hammock on the dock. Float in the lake and sun or, if you bring your boat, enjoy boating and tubing/skiing on Jonathan Creek. Fall color is gorgeous. This house is surrounded by woods and is not in a subdivision. Two kayaks available for tenant use. The house is on Jonathan Creek which is one of the large bays of Kentucky Lake, one of the largest manmade lakes in the world. Other Activities: Boating/fishing (guides available nearby)/ hiking TVA lands around the house and Land Between the Lakes. Golf: Many golf curses available nearby. Ky Dam golf course is a well maintained 18 hole course. Kenlake has a very nice 9 hole course. Miller Golf Course is operated by Murray State University and is excellent. There are many others available in the area.
