About the host
Your host
We are David and Sue Allen, and we live about an hour from Lake Barkley where we own and operate an integrated chiropractic, medical, and physical therapy clinic. We love what we do—helping people restore their health—but we also believe that true wellness includes time to slow down, reconnect, and recharge.
That belief is what led us to Barkley Estate Escape.
With four children in college and graduate school, we wanted a place where our family could step away from the busyness of life, spend meaningful time together, and enjoy the peace of nature. The lake provides a unique setting to calm the mind, refresh the soul, and create lasting memories.
We also feel that this home is a blessing, and it has become important to us to share that blessing with others. We love hosting families and groups as they celebrate milestones, reconnect with loved ones, and experience everything that lake life has to offer.
Why they chose this property
We chose this area because of the peaceful setting, strong sense of community, and natural beauty that surrounds Lake Barkley.
The property is tucked into a quiet, wooded area where you can truly feel removed from the noise and pace of everyday life, yet still be close to everything you need. We love the balance it offers—privacy and relaxation, along with easy access to boating, fishing, dining, and outdoor activities.
The neighbors are welcoming, the atmosphere is calm, and the surroundings encourage you to slow down and enjoy the moment. Whether it’s watching wildlife, spending the day on the water, or simply sitting on the deck taking in the views, this area creates a sense of peace that keeps us coming back.
What makes this property unique
What makes Barkley Estate Escape unique is the combination of space, character, and experience it offers.
This is not a typical rental—it is a home with over 50 years of history, built with high-quality materials and timeless craftsmanship. We were drawn not only to its size but to its character, and we have invested significant time and effort working with designers and contractors to restore and enhance its original beauty.
The home comfortably accommodates large groups while still offering space for everyone to spread out and relax. From the large kitchen designed for gathering, to the fully equipped game room, to the outdoor deck surrounded by nature, every part of the home is designed to bring people together.
At the same time, the setting offers something for everyone—quiet spaces, outdoor adventure, lake access, and room to truly unwind. It’s a place where families and friends can connect, celebrate, and create lasting memories.
