About the host

Hosted by Melissa & Mary

Host profile image
The Shady Pine is a joint venture between two lifelong friends that live in Louisville, KY. We searched lake property at Barren River Lake for over 3 years. Not kidding! The real estate agents and builders will vouch for us. :) We knew we loved the lake, but soon figured out that we loved the area as well, and especially the people. We could not be happier with our choice.

Why they chose this property

It's a cabin in the woods, by a lake. You just can't beat that!

What makes this property unique
