Here Are a Few Kind Words from our Past Guests:
"Everything about our stay at Rachel’s lakehouse was wonderful. Beautiful scenery, ideal location to the Ark and Creation Museum. Extremely kind and responsive host. A warm and inviting home. We loved it."
"My family and extended family had a great time staying at The Kentucky Lake house for our weekend visit. Beautiful views and cozy furnishings, with plenty of sleeping options. It was wonderful to have a fully equipped kitchen for cooking dinners and easy breakfasts. Our host went above and beyond to make sure we had everything we needed. We really appreciated that it was pet friendly too. Would definitely recommend to others"
"Absolutely love this place! Super cute, quiet, and relaxing. Just what I needed "

Driveway disclaimer: the driveway up to the back patio is a bit steep and has some cracks. Lower vehicles my need additional time and care when going up and down.
We are not able to accommodate RVs or campers on the property, as there is no space or hookup available for them. Standard vehicles, SUVs, and cargo vans are perfectly fine. If you're traveling with an RV, please contact us in advance—we're happy to suggest nearby parking or RV parks.
Although Bullock Pen Lake has safe water, it’s not a swimming lake. Feel free to take a turn out on our kayaks or bring your own boat. Boats must operate at idle speed. Lake use is at your own risk.
Per platform policy and local regulations, guests must provide contact info and sign a rental agreement within 24 hours of booking. Failure to do so may result in cancellation per the standard policy. Free Wi-Fi at property requires email entry; contact confirmation is optional.

Frequently asked questions
About the host
Hosted by Rachel H

My love for creating memorable experiences for guests started at the relatively young age of 16 when I got my first job as a cleaner and server at a large bed and breakfast in my hometown in central Canada. I have an undergraduate degree in Interior Design and now dedicate my time to creating commercial interior spaces, but I have found a new passion for short term rentals. Some proceeds from our rental goes to missions that we believe in.
Why they chose this property
The minute we drove down towards the lake we fell in love with the area. It's such a peaceful location - a place where you can unplug and get some real rest. We hope you're able to rest, relax and enjoy God's beautiful creation!
What makes this property unique
With lake views from almost every area of the house, the connection to water and the peacefulness the lake provides will make your stay at our home memorable.
A portion of each stay in the Kentucky Lakehouse goes towards building homes for families in need in El Salvador. We're passionate about giving back and we're thankful you're able to help contribute to our cause!
