A 70" Smart TV and lounging area is combined with a one of a kind dining table that seats 8. Walk through any of the sliding doors to the main deck for the complete lake view.

Family Weekend

We stayed two nights and enjoyed the beautiful view. The house was very clean and nicely furnished. The decks, fire pit, grill, hot tub, and games were excellent.

Relaxing With Friends

Hit the bourban trail with some good friends. It was so nice to come back to such a nice house and relax on the deck with amazing views. I would start and end my day this way the entire trip.

Wonderful place to rest and relax

Our family stayed at this property during the Christmas holiday. We had outgrown our home for bedrooms for everyone to stay in and a room big enough for everyone to gather to open presents, etc. This property fit the bill exactly. We were able for every family, to have their own bedroom and there was plenty of room to eat, and to share games and fellowship and the opening of presents in the open area. The property was equipped very well; the hot tub was wonderful and the weather was so great we could gather on the deck on Christmas Eve, and everything worked out beautifully. Some of the family hiked around the area and had a really good time doing so. We would recommend this property for anyone who has a number of people with the desire to have plenty of room for them to socialize and fellowship . We are grateful to Melissa for sharing this lovely place with us. She was very easy to communicate with and was responsive almost immediately. This is something that you do not always find in these properties and we appreciated it very much.

Amazing!

This property is absolutely a "must rent" for groups. We had 6 adults, everyone had plenty of space and the views are amazing! This property was stocked with everything we needed; not just 1 roll of TP to get you thru a shopping trip, there were 5 - 6 rolls in each bathroom, laundry and dishwasher soap for multiple loads, plenty of towels, shower items - as regular VRBO renters, most places do not come this stocked. Melissa was so great to work with, communication was quick and she recommended some cool spots to visit. The neighborhood was quiet and peaceful, we enjoyed the fire table and hot tub. We all felt right at home, and would rent this home again for future vacations.

About the host

Hosted by Melissa Barnett

We fell in love this home, the amazing view, and the friendly lake community. We are very blessed to be able to share it with others. We enjoy being able to help families and friends come together to create memories that last a lifetime. We hope all of our guests enjoy their time at The Overlook as much as we do.

Why they chose this property

We looked at many homes on different lakes. Nothing compared to the Overlook. It was an easy drive, a beautiful home, and an unmatched lake view.
We are just a few miles from Shaker Village,
Built in 1925 by the Kentucky Utilities Company for hydroelectric power generation, Lake Herrington is the deepest lake in Kentucky. Herrington boasts some of the finest reservoir fishing in the state. It is a well-stocked lake contains bluegill, catfish, crappie, hybrid striped bass, large mouth bass, spotted bass and white bass.
This is a lake house which means there may be wind, pollen, bugs, snakes, temporary power outages, dirt, leaves, dust, and fallen trees. There might be a lady bug. spider or a cricket. Pollen or ashes or leaves could settle on the porch or ledges with the blowing wind. The house is professionally cleaned after every single guest, but please keep in mind that you are at the lake. You will probably see flies and lady bugs :)

What makes this property unique

The area is made up of mostly full time residents that enjoy the peace and tranquility our neighborhood offers. Please be respectful and keep the noise level down, especially at night. The lake is extremely quiet & peaceful. Sound travels....This home is wonderful for families and groups that want to relax and enjoy the lake. If you are looking for a place to have a party, this is NOT the place for you.
