Welcome to Cooper's Cottage at beautiful Barren River Lake, Kentucky. This beautiful cottage is a single family residence with a second-story breakfast nook and deck. Our lakehouse cottage offers breathtaking views of the water, a location merely two miles from Bailey's Point campground, dock, and recreation area; as well as being convenient to Barren River State Park, gas stations, and the best fried catfish in the south.
The cottage is a three bedroom, two bath home, and a full kitchen including a microwave, dishes, pots, and pans. Everything to make your vacation easy and economical. The house sports two queen-size beds, and a full bed, as well as a breakfast nook that can be used for a sleeping area. The house is approximately 1600 square feet so it provides plenty of room for a family or couples looking to share a vacation rental. The kitchen is fully stocked with pots, pans, microwave, stove, and a refrigerator.
We request a minimum of a two night stay and a three night stay on holiday weekends. If you book six nights, you will get the seventh night free. We require a 25% deposit on all bookings and have a 15 day cancellation policy. Minimum rental age of 25. No Pets, No Smoking, No Illegal Substances Allowed.
Close to hiking, biking, fishing, hunting, wild-life viewing, swimming, water-skiing, knee-boarding, wake-boarding, jet-skiing, tubing, and boating. Bailey's Point a short two mile drive also hosts camping, has children's playgrounds, concessions, and sponsors movies nights during the summer season.
In addition, the lakehouse is merely 30 minutes from Bowling Green, Kentucky home of the National Corvette Museum and Plant. We are less than an hour from Kentucky Down Under and Mammoth Cave National Park, which offers horseback riding, spelunking, and various other sightseeing activities.
The lakehouse is also close to Harper's Restaurant - offering what we think is the BEST fried catfish in the south, a convenient store, gas stations, and grocery store, and we are happy to provide directions to any of these activities.

Guestbook comments from the owner
What a beautiful view! It was a little chilly to be out on the deck, so we moved the kitchen table in front of deck doors to enjoy the view. This was a perfect spot for us - close to family, room for all of us to be comfortable. Very clean! We will definitely return!

Mix of "Lovely" meets "odd"
We enjoyed our stay. The kids loved the loft in the kitchen and ate there every day.
Things to know:
This house was very nice and odd. There are 3 front doors on the porch that all go to the same house with a door on the side of the house that leads to the master bedroom. (Pics of house should be of what to expect) We wanted a 3 bedroom, but they don't tell you that you have to go through the master bedroom down a hall to reach the other bedroom (where the side door is, which made us a little uneasy because 2 of our kids were sleeping just feet away from it).
The 2 bathrooms were very nice but the shower head in the main bathroom is a 1" pipe where water shoots out in a sort of shower fashion, the master bedroom bathroom shower head was awesome, so all 5 of us showered in it instead.
The bedrooms were nice, love the decor. Pillows were super soft and loved the comforters.
The living room was comfy, but the couch and love seat were badly draped with ill fitted covers. The tv is a great size, cable is good, but any shows above Pg are blocked with a code. There is a blu ray player and a few movies. The wifi is less than 1MB/per sec, yes i tested it. I imagine that if you hooked up directly to the modem itself with a cord you might get a faster internet. It worked for my phone, but not the laptop.
There is a washer and dryer in the kitchen, the a/c is throughout the entire house which is great! Many pots and pans, lots of dishes cups and silverware (we had 5 ppl eating) but be sure to wash anything you are going to use, since the last tenants are the ones that washed or didn't wash them.
My expectations weren't that high, but having surprises that could have been easily known beforehand with just more pics would have been helpful.
What needs repair? There is no fridge handle it broke off at some point, not sure when, but i read in older reviews that it was missing and assumed that the owners responding to that review that things had been fixed that the handle would be the first to be taken care of, but no. There is a handle on a wine cabinet that needs to be put on that we found inside the cabinet. There are other little repairs that are needed but not essential, just the fridge handle really and with it being in clear sight and not being taken care of after it was noted by the customers and the owners is why I am giving it 4 stars.
The weather was hot & literally 1000's of mosquitos were on both decks. Probably better in winter
Sad
Really just a flophouse.
Dirty, no view of water, bed like a hammock.
Sorry to be this way but I have pictures if you want to see.
Cute cottage on the lake ,good for small family
The property was clean nicely equipped and well-maintained, had a very good relaxing stay we would stay here again if in the area , hosts were very nice and helped us with any problems that arose
Nice peaceful convenient location with great fishing
Very spacious and great area. Several restaurants within 20 minutes and very close to a nice state park called Bailey's Point. Fishing was excellent and only a 10 minute drive around the corner from the cottage. Very nice and great value.
Charming Cottage
Very cute place and close to the lake. Bathrooms seem to be recently renovated and are nice, with plenty of towels and hot water. The kitchen and beds/bedding could use some updates. The mattresses weren't great and the sheets were very thin. The kitchen is tiny and stocked with just the basics. The refrigerator is beginning to show its age, had a broken handle. You can cook a meal but don't plan on hosting a gourmet dinner party. We would have really enjoyed the decks and the scenery but the bugs got there first (it's summer in Kentucky, not much you can do about that). The wi-fi was a little spotty and made streaming TV tough, but the kids were happy with the Playstation and all the games provided. They also had a great time exploring outside-- the area is beautiful! Communication with the host was easy and check-in process was smooth. If you aren't too fussy about the amenities, you will enjoy this place!
Kentucky vacation
Overall stay was great and nice area! Only issue is there were too many branches and trees covering the view to the beautiful lake and scenery.
