About this property

Lakeside Cabin, Fishing, Golf/Hiking Nearby, Canoe & Kayaks Onsite, Pet Friendly

If you are looking for a place to get away from it all with family or friends, then this cabin rental is perfect for you! It is nestled on the bank of a 110-acre watershed lake (Banker's Lake) in western Kentucky. The rental is also pet friendly and only requires one small additional fee.
Fishing, canoeing and kayaking are all just steps away from the porch of this rustic getaway. If you enjoy golf, hiking, or just the outdoors in general, you could not ask for a better place. Relax and read a book while enjoying beautiful views of Banker's Lake or just pull up a rocking chair on the front porch and enjoy the peaceful sounds of nature as your daily stresses melt away.
This rental is conveniently located just 10 minutes away from Pennyrile State Park and only an hour drive from Land Between the Lakes (Kentucky and Barkley Lakes). It is less than 10 miles from Burdoc Farm (wedding venue), so it is a great place for out of town wedding guests.
The cabin comes furnished with appliances, dishware, gas grill, satellite television (living room only), towels, and all necessary linens. It is equipped with a whole house on-demand hot water heater so no worries about running out if hot water. There is also a fire pit in the yard (firewood provided) should you want to enjoy roasting hot dogs and marshmallows with friends and family.
NOTE FOR PET OWNERS - If you plan to bring more than two pets, please contact owner for a discussion about additional charges for those extra pets.
We (property owners) currently live in the separated walk-out basement apartment of this home. We are a recently retired couple and try to be helpful, especially when making sure guests enjoy a wonderful experience. We are willing assist guests with life jackets for kayaks, getting them set up for a fishing, etc, but we are also very mindful that guests are there to get away, so we keep to ourselves and only interact when requested.
Cabin Layout: 1st Floor - Open floor plan with living Room, kitchen, table for 8 that all run together. Then there is a dining room (6 seat table), master bedroom with queen bed and twin bed, in suite full bath, 1/2 bath located in foyer, laundry room with washer/dryer. 2nd bedroom with full size bed and full bath. 2nd Floor - Bedroom 1 with queen size bed and twin bed.

The cabin is located in a very rural, peaceful setting by a lake. It was nice to sit on the back deck and watch the sunrise rise. Lots of wildlife. It is rustic, decor is eclectic, plenty of seating. You cannot swim in the lake, it is full of moss. The internet did not work. It needed to be cleaned, especially the outdoor areas. Lots of wasps on the porches - they kept diving at my aunt - the mud dauber nests were everywhere. Cobwebs & dust inside. The hosts live in the walk out basement - they were kind and did not interrupt our stay - but you can hear them. Overall, we enjoyed our stay. We made great family memories.

We really enjoyed our stay at the cabin. The spaces fit our family well. We loved the deck to hang out in every day, and the living room at night to play games. The beds were all comfy and the showers worked well, plenty of hot water. Little disappointed about the lake and swim area. We could not use it at all. The playground seemed unsafe for small children. We did take the canoes out on the lake. Out front of the cabin it was fine, but wished we would have know about the sunken forest in the rest of the lake. We did get hung up in the frees and had a hard time getting out of the trees. Would have like to know the history of the lake. Was it a flooded forest?

Memorial Day Vacation

Pictures do not do it justice. Property is gorgeous and so is the house. Very large space indoors and outdoors, but comfortable in a way where you can still enjoy that cozy relaxing feeling. Host was great and very easy to work with and was very helpful and responsive. Fire pit area was perfect for large families and groups. Ease of access to the water front allowed for amazing fishing and awesome views of the sunrises in the early morning. Area was peaceful and was an amazing experience for our family vacation. Highly recommend for other large families looking for a relaxing fun filled vacation rental.

Feels like home

This place is wonderful for a family gathering away from all of the craziness and it has everything you will need in preparing dinners and such. I will state that the playground and beach area should not be listed as the playset is old, not safe to use, and there really is no beach area. I am a lake person but will will not want to jump in that lake, it's more for the calming scenery while sipping on your morning coffee which is great on that huge back porch. Nothing fancy, just a place that feels like home or visiting your Aunt Betty that awaits you with fresh baked cookies. We really enjoyed our stay here and would rent again.

A quiet peaceful setting for our family to spend valued time together!

Our purpose as a family of 15 was to spend quality time together. The quiet woods setting of this property created that for us. It was fine that there wasn't a lot of "activities" to fill our time.....the shelves of books & many cozy seating arrangements called us to enjoy simple things....letting any busyness back home....soaking in the appreciation of our relationships. Our hosts were excellent in every way!

Nice cabin, terrible lake

Property listing not accurate at all. We had no WiFi all week, power outage for a couple hours and the worst was the lake. Advertised as a nice fishing and swimming place. No part of this lake can be swam in or fished in. Filled with moss and seaweed like we have never seen before. Had to get a fishing license to go to another lake to fish. Then got lake “service charges” of $206 with no explanation. Beautiful cabin but absolutely would never recommend this rental.
