Bridgeview Cottage with Weekday Pontoon Boat Access, and Quiet Peninsula Setting

Escape to this custom-built cottage tucked away on a quiet dead-end street near beautiful Lake Barkley. Located less than a mile from Highway 68/80, this peaceful retreat offers the perfect balance of privacy, comfort, and convenient access to everything the area has to offer.

The home features two comfortable bedrooms, each with its own private bathroom and queen bed, making it ideal for couples or small families traveling together. An upstairs loft provides additional sleeping with a full bed and a twin, allowing the home to accommodate up to eight guests, though it is most comfortable with five or fewer.

Inside, you’ll find a fully equipped kitchen with stainless steel appliances and all the basic cookware needed for preparing meals during your stay. The living area offers a cozy leather couch and gas log fireplace, perfect for relaxing evenings. A 55-inch Samsung smart TV with Roku and complimentary Wi-Fi are included for entertainment and convenience.

Step outside to enjoy the screened-in back porch where you can relax bug-free while taking in the quiet surroundings. The deck leads down toward the gently sloping shoreline where guests can swim, fish, or simply enjoy the lake views. The lake bottom is rocky and semi-muddy, so lake shoes are recommended for swimming.

Although the cottage itself cannot have a dock on the main channel, guests are welcome to use the owner’s dock located just a short three-minute walk down the street. You’re also invited to visit the scenic peninsula lot at the end of the street, a beautiful spot to relax by the water.

During the promotional season from May1 through October1, guests staying Monday through Thursday may enjoy access to a pontoon boat at no additional cost. Safety instructions and a waiver are required before use, and the boat must be operated by someone age 21 or older.

Additional amenities include all linens provided, a propane grill, parking for two to three vehicles with overflow parking available, and pet-friendly accommodations for up to two pets with an additional fee.

Outdoor enthusiasts will love the area’s endless activities including boating, fishing, hiking, biking, horseback riding, and exploring nearby Land Between the Lakes National Recreation Area. Turkey Bay Off-Road Park and several historic sites are also within easy driving distance.

Whether you’re planning a relaxing lake getaway, a fishing trip, or a weekend exploring the outdoors, this quiet Lake Barkley cottage offers comfort, convenience, and easy access to the water.
