The property was very nice and we enjoyed staying there. We loved the lake views and firepit. The only thing that we had trouble with was the kayak ramp. One of the attachments to the dock was severed, and without railings, we were uncertain whether we could get the kayak back on deck after taking it out.
Spent 2 days at the Gray Dog Cottage! Fishing off the dock was really good! Lots of bluegill, crappie, baby bass, and a few catfish. Quiet area and in a cove so not alot of water traffic. Our kids enjoyed swimming at the dock and kayaking.Lots of great outdoor space for entertainment and to hang out. Beds were comfy and house was equipped with everything we needed. Very cleanA well taken care of older home and loved the 90s vibe of the place! Already planning to come back in the summer for an extended stay! Loved the location and vibe of the place!We definitely want to come back!

I am so glad yall had a great time. Thank you for such a awesome review. You are welcome anytime at Gray Dog Cottage.
Gorgeous lake view and a peaceful atmosphere. The house was beautifully decorated and so inviting. We loved relaxing on the dock and enjoying late-night fires overlooking the lake. We truly loved our stay.
This lake house was everything I hoped it would be. It was wonderful to get away for the hustle and bustle, so peaceful and the view of the lake was beautiful.
Our family thoroughly enjoyed our stay at the Gray Dog Cottage. The house was clean and well supplied with comfortable beds and pillows. The spacious deck gave us a beautiful view of the lake, and we had a great time kayaking off of the private backyard dock into Lake Barkley. The house is conveniently located for site seeing and other activities in the Land Between the Lakes area also. The owner left us several helpful suggestions for things to do during our stay. The cookie jar was full of fresh cookies on our arrival and they were delicious! We had a plumbing problem due to some work the water company did on the water lines during our stay, which caused the shower to stop running. The owners answered my call right away and were at the house to fix it within 45 min and had it working perfectly in about 30 min. We were very impressed with their prompt response. I would definitely highly recommend this house to anyone who does not have significant mobility limitations. The shower area is too small for someone who has need for a chair or much assistance, and as is often the case with lakefront property, there is a steep grade down to the lake, but I think this is pretty obvious from the photos.
Our family enjoyed staying at this lakehouse. Awesome views of the lake, great outdoor sitting areas with a firepit to enjoy. We loved our stay!

Jason and his family were great guest. I am so glad your stay was enjoyable but I am sorry the weather was not great. Thanks for being such great guest and taking such good care of my property.
My family and I needed a weekend get away and this house was perfect. Owners were great always checking in on us and were available for if we needed help really recommend this place to all my friends and family. This house won’t disappoint.
What a wonderful lake house! Upon our arrival, Carolyn had some delicious cookies set aside to greet us, a binder full of useful information including restaurants and area things to do, and a printed sheet with local daily activities. The bedrooms were all individually unique, comfortable and spacious. The kitchen was well stocked which was appreciated as I cooked several meals during our stay. Carolyn was easy to communicate with. We didn’t have any problems during our stay, but I know we would have had a quick response if anything came up.
Great lakefront property with private dock and boat lift! Boat launch is 3 minutes away and worked perfect for our 17’ bass tracker. Watched bald eagles from the deck. Will stay again in the future.
We had a wonderful week on the lake and enjoyed our stay. Great place for a small family. We will definitely be back.
