Great lake house vacation

We had a very relaxing stay at the lake house. The fishing was great, and we made lots of use of the kayaks and canoe. The house was very clean, and all the furniture was comfortable. We would definitely stay again!

Fantastic Stay

I took my Father and family here for Fathers day weekend and had a blast. The cottage was well stocked and clean. The AC was cold and the beds were comfy. The kids loved the dock and swam all day. Tom (The Owner) was super accommodating and responsive. I highly recommend Warners for a fun family getaway.

Beautiful views and very relaxing

My husband and I wanted to enjoy a quick, quiet, and private weekend getaway, the cottage definitely did not disappoint. The property is secluded, the wildlife are abundant, and the bed was super cozy. I would recommend this property to anyone wanting to enjoy a quiet lake trip. The owners left snacks, checkin was easy and outside lights were left on for our after dark arrival!

Awesome Getaway Property

The house is well stocked. The whole property is absolutely beautiful! Its secluded, having the dock to yourself was great. The cove is quiet. Getting down to the dock worked out perfect for someone with a handicap. You can drive right up to the walkout for the dock. This was my dads bucket trip and it was exactly what he was looking for. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay!!! Highly recommend this place!

Exactly what I wanted

Such a great place to stay. The owner was amazing to work with. Response time was always within minutes. The cottage was spacious and comfortable. We rented a jet ski for a day and had a blast! The cove is quiet, calm, and relaxing. We spent most of our time just floating near the dock. In the evening, we would roast marshmallows by the fire and play games. My kids from 19-11yrs had the best time and are already asking about a return trip.

Very neat, clean and restful

Melody Warner met us at the cottage. She was very friendly and took great pride of the Cottage. There were many amenities including smores, firewood, hot tub, kayaks, fishing gear and much more. We saw deer, eagle, turkey and raccoons. In fact, we left a cut watermelon on the deck. The next morning the melon was gone, and raccoon tracks were all that was left. A great time and very relaxing.

Amazing!

This place has it all! Relax, play, swim,enjoy. The details the owners have thought about - amenities galore. We had the best time on the sea doos (three adult children with us), kayaks, and lilly pad. Plenty of life jackets, too! Even fishing rods available if that’s your thing. Up to date appliances and the house was super clean. Enjoyed the hot tub. A raccoon came for visits at night and we watched the deer while having the morning coffee (provided) on the deck. We will definitely come back!

Another Stellar Stay

This is my second stay at this property in the last nine months. The first was last August and the second last week. The entire experience the first time is what made me a repeat customer. Suffice it to say the second stay exceeded the first. The boat upgrade is a big plus. Easier to accommodate a group. The flexibility and attention to detail of this host is second to none. Check this lake house out.

Our Little Paradise by the Water

Our best stay yet!!!! My wife and I just spent a few unforgettable days at Warner’s Paradise Campground, and it was everything we hoped for and more. The cabin sat right along the water — peaceful, private, and surrounded by beautiful scenery that made every sunrise and sunset feel magical. Everything we could possibly need was right there— clean and cozy cabins, comfortable beds, a well-stocked kitchen area, and stocked elsewhere too, and all the amenities that make you feel at home while still getting that quiet, getaway feeling. We spent our mornings sipping coffee by the lake, our afternoons exploring and relaxing, and our nights by the fire, listening to the water and just enjoying each other’s company. The staff were wonderful — warm, welcoming, and genuinely happy to make sure our stay was perfect. You can tell they take pride in keeping everything spotless and peaceful. Warner’s truly lives up to its name — it’s paradise. We left feeling relaxed, reconnected, and already counting down the days until we can come back. ❤️

Warner’s Paradise gives the feel of an all inclusive resort Our family stayed a week and loved every minute! Between the lovely lakeside treehouse feel, secluded cove, included kayaks(they brought us extra at no additional cost 🥰) and full access to a boat and Seadoos…it doesn’t get better than that. My parents would flip for a trip like we had with us. I grew up going to the Lake and we all miss those fun times on the water 🩵We have every intention to book the 5 bedroom with our family in the near future. Thank you Tom and team for being wonderful hosts. God bless you all

Amazing

This is our 2nd time staying at Warners paradise. The host are very accommodating and the cabins are stocked with everything you need. We had extended family over the weekend and everyone had a blast. The views are great and the kids absolutely love the water and spent all day swimming, boating, and kayaking. I would highly recommend staying at Warners every chance you get.

Why they chose this property

Driftwood Retreat is made for easy, memory-filled family vacations on Kentucky Lake. Unlike a basic fishing cabin, this comfortable 2-bedroom lakefront cottage combines private water access with the practical features families need for a relaxing stay.

Your family will have a private covered dock for swimming, fishing, kayaking, boat tie-up, and relaxing beside the lake. Two kayaks and life jackets are included, making it easy to explore the shoreline and nearby coves without arranging a separate rental.

The screened porch is another guest favorite, featuring a private 6-person hot tub that can be enjoyed rain or shine with fewer bugs. Outside, families can gather around the firepit for s’mores, play cornhole, relax in the hammock, grill dinner, or enjoy meals on the deck surrounded by peaceful wooded and lake views. Firewood and propane are provided.

Inside, the spacious living room has a large sectional, 65-inch Roku TV, electric fireplace, and futon for family movie nights and extra sleeping space. The fully equipped kitchen, dual-use Keurig, washer and dryer, fast Wi-Fi, king bedroom, and queen-over-queen bunk room make Driftwood comfortable for weekends or full-week Kentucky Lake vacations.

Driftwood Retreat is also close to Murray, Kentucky and Land Between the Lakes, including hiking, wildlife viewing, scenic drives, Elk & Bison Prairie, and The Homeplace.

Optional on-site pontoon and jet ski rentals are available April 15 through September 15 for an additional fee, so families can enjoy a complete Kentucky Lake adventure without towing their own watercraft.

Driftwood Retreat gives families more than a place to sleep—it provides private lake access, year-round amenities, comfortable gathering spaces, and everything needed to slow down and make lasting memories together.

What makes this property unique

Driftwood Retreat is a family-friendly 2-bedroom, 1-bath Kentucky Lake cottage near Murray, Kentucky and Land Between the Lakes. Sleeping up to 8 guests, it combines private lake access with the comforts families need for an easy, memorable getaway.

The sleeping setup includes a king bedroom, a queen-over-queen bunk room, and a futon in the living room. The oversized sectional, 65-inch Roku TV, electric fireplace, and fast Wi-Fi make movie nights and quiet evenings comfortable for the whole family.

A fully equipped kitchen, indoor dining area, dual-use Keurig, washer, and dryer make Driftwood convenient for weekend trips or longer family vacations.

What makes Driftwood Retreat special is the variety of included lakefront amenities:

• Private covered dock with shaded seating
• Swimming ladder and space for fishing or relaxing
• Two kayaks and life jackets
• Private 6-person hot tub inside the screened porch
• Firepit with Adirondack seating and firewood provided
• Large deck with outdoor dining

• Hammock and cornhole

Families can spend the morning kayaking, swimming, or fishing from the private dock, enjoy an afternoon cookout, then gather around the firepit for s’mores before relaxing in the screened-porch hot tub.

Driftwood Retreat is enjoyable throughout the year. Summer brings boating and lake days, fall offers colorful woods and firepit weather, and winter is ideal for hot-tub nights, family meals, and movies by the electric fireplace.

Optional on-site pontoon and jet ski rentals may be available April 15 through September 15 for an additional fee, giving families an easy way to experience even more of Kentucky Lake.

With private lake access, comfortable sleeping arrangements, practical family amenities, and a convenient location near Murray and Land Between the Lakes, Driftwood Retreat offers much more than a place to sleep—it gives families a complete Kentucky Lake vacation experience.
