Great long weekend trip!

We stayed Thurs. - Sunday and despite very stormy weather, we had a wonderful stay. Shelter Point North was exactly as advertised if not better! The place was clean, had a good kitchen set up so meals could be prepared, and games/movies to help pass the time during the heavy rains. We would definitely recommend and plan to return!

Great Lake Getaway!

Property is right on the water, small beach, docks, kayaks! You can rent a boat from the Lynnhurst Marina, and motor back to the cove, if you just follow the map We did this! The house was great, plenty of room inside and out. We fished, drove around in a pontoon boat, played cards on the deck, paddled around in the kayaks, just fun all around!

Awesome Location! Cute House!

This was a great property with amazing views. It was exactly as described. The shoreline around the property and the dock is perfect for fishing. We had six adults and six kids and they all had a blast! Everyone had a place to sleep and plenty of room. The bonus guest house was truly a bonus. The location was one of our favorites out of many rentals and the owners were quick to respond and fantastic! Highly recommend!

What a great find! Tucked away on the Kentucky Lake, these two homes were everything you could ask for. Kitchen was well stocked and when a storm came thru in the afternoon the whole house generator saved the day. Owners communication was awesome.

Beautiful Property & Great Management

All three generations of our extended family loved this location. The lake view was unbeatable and the lodgings were very nice. There were plenty of places to gather inside and out. We made good use of the kayaks and loved swimming in the private cove. The deck was perfect for grilling and birdwatching. We saved money by cooking and found the main kitchen pretty well equipped. Kristin was very easy to work with and highly responsive. We would love to go back some time.

Spring Fling 2024

Everything was great. Only one complaint, we were on a fishing trip and there was no electricity at the boat docks. We had to pull our boats out from a boat ramp seven miles away to recharge the batteries and relaunched the next morning having to travel seven miles. Otherwise, the house and grounds were great.

Our boat dock has electricity, so we are sorry it wasn't working correctly. This is the first we've heard of it not working. We'll get an electrician out there to check on it. We are glad you and your group had a great time at our property.

Gorgeous views!

This was the perfect place to stay right on the water. My family of five and our friends (family of three) stayed here very comfortably. The finished basement was a perfect place for the two teenagers to go amd watch tv at the end of the night and get away from the adults. The layout of the home was spacious and fit our families wonderfully. The home was very clean and had a very well stocked kitchen. The views on the deck were spectacular. We enjoyed boating everyday and loved having our own private dock as well as a great fire pit by the water. Thank you for sharing your home with us! We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at Ky Lake!!

Beautiful & Spacious Home Right on the Lake

This home, along with the additional apartment, provided a great deal of space for our group. We spent a lot of time outdoors, eating, playing games, & relaxing on the the very nice & spacious deck, which overlooks beautiful Kentucky Lake. Our friends brought their ski boat & it was great to have our own dock. We also enjoyed swimming right off of the dock. Note that the path down to the lake & dock are rather steep, & could be challenging for some adults & small children. Kristin was a pleasure to deal with & quick to respond with our questions & concerns. We enjoyed our stay & would definitely recommend staying at this home.

Perfect place for fishing and swimming in the lake.

We are fishing and fun people. We caught over 100 keeper fish and threw back as many smalls and rough fish as we kept during a week's stay. The young kids lived on the rock beach jumping off of the dock, floating on rafts and kayaking in the cove. Adults enjoyed the same and even kayaked to other coves on the lake. The campfires in the evenings were special. The nighttime dark helicopter training and the flyovers during the day out on the lake was a bonus we will not forget. The deck and view were awesome and since the weather was beautiful, we spent a lot of our time out there. The house and apartment were great and we simply had a memorable time enjoying fishing, family, and play at this beautiful spot on Kentucky Lake.

Awesome property & views!

This property was great for our big family vacation. We had a group of 12 (2 of them small kids) there for 5 nights and everyone had plenty of space. Big deck overlooking Kentucky Lake. Great sunrises! Big gas grill on the deck that used almost every day. Boat dock is very nice and covered. We also enjoyed the kayaks that are on the property. Plenty of towels and kitchen had everything needed to cook, eat or drink with. Most important of all, this place was VERY CLEAN and well maintained! We saw several bald eagles while on the lake or even flying by the property. Lake has a ton of small bays surrounded by nature. Pontoon rental was only about 10 minutes away too. We would definitely recommend this place.
