This home away from home has about 1600 sq.ft which includes 3 bedrooms, 2 baths with a fully updated kitchen, new flooring, new paint, updated baths and a utility room with washer & dryer. The lake and boat ramp are less than 40 yards directly in front of the house. A user friendly floor plan uses the living area to separate the master from the other two bedrooms. The large master bedroom has a spacious ensuite bath with separate tub and shower. The bedroom is furnished with a king size bed, window seat, a 32" TV and great lake views. The 2nd bedroom also has lake views and a queen size bed. The 3rd bedroom has two twin beds with nicely wooded valley views. The living room furnishings include: a wood-burning stone fireplace, a large screen TV with streaming wifi service, a game & 7puzzle table as well as a sleeper sofa for added sleeping capacity. The open concept living room / dining room / kitchen allows for great family get-togethers. There is a two level deck overlooking Kentucky Lake and the channel of the Tennessee River perfect for sitting, sunning, and watching the river traffic and beautiful sunsets over the water. The deck has a large propane grill for grilling while you enjoy the lake views. South of the cottage there is a fire pit on the lake side perfect to gather around and cook hot dogs and roast marshmellows. The covered front porch provides a nice valley view. There is also a carport for your car, truck or boat. There are four kayaks and a pedalboat to enjoy during your Kentucky Lake vacation. You will not want to leave!
High-speed fiber internet is provided, cell service is excellent allowing for 4G hotspot capability via your phone if needed. If you have a boat the easy ramp access in front of the cottage will be a real plus. If you desire to rent a boat there are 5 marinas/resorts within a 5 mile radius by water.

What a great place to stay! The hosts were very attentive and made sure that we had everything that we needed. We were able to take full advantage of all of the amenities, and even caught a few fish of of the dock. The kids enjoyed visiting the nearby Civil War sites as well. We would definitely stay here again.

THANK YOU, THANK YOU, THANK YOU for your wonderful review. We often wonder if anyone else enjoys this special location as much as we do. Your review is proof that others do appreciate this little piece of paradise as much as we do. The expansive lake views with the wildlife refuge across the lake combined with being surrounded with wooded hills make this a special getaway location. We look forward to your next visit either here at the Lakeside Cottage or at the Barge Inn.

What a fantastic 26 year anniversary trip. The lake house was absolutely lovely and so close to the lake and boat ramp. We didn't want for anything the whole trip. The hosts are so sweet leaving us an anniversary card and fresh baked bread. Check in and out was super easy and the entire experience was peaceful and relaxing which was exactly what we were looking for. We're already discussing coming back next year!

About the host

Hosted by Vince & Patricia Griffin

Host profile image
We moved from Texas in 2010 to retire on the lake to be able to see unmatched sunsets and be close to family in Paris, Tn. We look forward to sharing this lake living experience with you.

Why they chose this property

This property is perfectly situated such that it juts out into the lake enabling lake views on three sides of the property especially in the winter when the leaves are gone. We purchased it and completely renovated it so the inside could be enjoyed as much as the outside. This is a special lakeside setting situated close to the junction of the Tennessee River, the Big Sandy River, Standing Rock Creek, and Short Creek with a Wild Life Refuge just across the lake. The lakeside cottage is located on the widest section of Kentucky Lake.

What makes this property unique

The "lakeside cottage" has been decorated with a coastal theme bringing together the colors of driftwood, water and sunlight. The hill the cottage sits on provides great lake views and steady breezes from the lake on the west and serene valley views from the covered porch on the east.
