THE COTTAGE

The architect's plan for this refurbished, lovely stone cottage, positioned with truly the greatest view of the main Lake, was to create the ultimate retreat for couples or friends in search of unmatched location and prime fishing. The perfect base from which to explore Kentucky Lake has successfully been constructed. The 680 square-foot lake front area of its deck offers spectacular sunrises without another structure in sight - only a calm unspoiled setting - the lake and nature. This majestic environment seems complete as visitors experience the remarkable image of a Bald Eagle reflected on the water as it soars in to perch on the branch of a surrounding tree. The wrap around deck totals 1100 square feet and is the ideal place to discover the beauty and serenity of Kentucky Lake by the light of day or under a starry sky at any season of the year. There is no more beautiful setting to begin or end your visit to the Lake. Conveniently located only 13 miles from Murray State University. We do include Free WiFi.

While the cottage's design maintains a rustic mood special attention has been paid to provide distinctive quality furnishings and unique amenities that ensure the guests' comfort and a restful visit. The top floor of the cottage has a cathedral ceiling. The living space and dining area feature a grand stone fireplace and floor to ceiling windows that share the main deck's great views. Two well appointed queen bedded rooms and a full bath are also upstairs. Downstairs with a separate entrance is a quaint twin bedded room with a full bath, as well as a laundry facility.

Enhancing and maintaining quality is a happy necessity that keeps our customers returning. Ensuring that every season be one of great memory making feature a custom boat dock adjacent to the cottage with an on property boat rental. A very thoughtful process of considering what features make for the best waterfront experience has brought about many conveniences with the addition of the deluxe dock.

First, There is the Access - Here there is no steep slope or long trek to your boat. Being only one hundred feet away, step out the door and be on the dock in a minute or less. Please note: Lake levels are Gov't controlled and may be lower during non peak seasons.

Coverage and Quality are Redefined – Equipped with an attractive and highly functional hip roof, superior protection from the elements is ensured. Not only is the aluminum decking non-slip, but it is splinter free.

Then, there is the Relaxation & Recreation – If after a day out you return full of the sense that exploring and playing on the lake can be both fun and hard work, here is the place to reflect on the day you have had and contemplate tomorrow’s plans. Having a 12x28 swim platform complete with a retractable ladder makes this the spot to share a fun and rejuvenating break lounging, sunbathing or swimming.

We cannot forget the Exceptional Fishing Possibilities - Many of the cottage’s guests return to revisit the location right on our lakefront where they have had very rewarding days fishing for blue gill, bass, crappie, and catfish. We are confident that their future visits will leave them happily convinced and surprised that their past successes here have been surpassed.

The Property Boat Rental: Several well-equipped boats are available to guests at special rates. It is one more convenience, and can add hours to vacation time on Kentucky Lake. There is no drive to and from a marina to collect and return a boat. For a rental over multiple days how great it is to have the driving completely eliminated? Imagine instead the pleasure of a sunrise breakfast ending seamlessly with a stroll across the lawn to board the boat that awaits you at your private dock. Effortlessly, straight from the comfort of your cottage a day out on the lake begins...

While visitors may be satisfied to not leave the property during their stay, there are many great experiences to be found locally:

FISHING: The fish are surely not hard to find, but for visitors with the goal of maximizing their fishing experience the owners have established relationships with the areas most knowledgeable guides. We are delighted to introduce guests to any one of these specialists who have each made it his life's passion to master and uncover this lake’s greatest features - impressive fishing opportunities and a wide array of wildlife. They are at the disposal of the expert or the novice and promise anyone wishing to learn and have the mysteries of Kentucky Lake revealed a day that will long be remembered.

GOLF: In addition to the satisfaction a day on the water offers, just a 15 minute drive away is Miller Memorial Golf Course - considered to be one of the finest golf courses in west Kentucky's lakes region, it presents many challenges for even the most seasoned golfer.

LAND BETWEEN THE LAKES: Guests have a direct view of the Land Between the Lakes from the cottage itself. It's just a 15 minute drive away. It is a national recreation area with 170,000 acres of wildlife, history, and outdoor activity opportunities, surrounded by 300 miles of undeveloped shoreline. LBL’s Elk & Bison Prairie is a 700-acre restoration of Kentucky’s native barrens. The Homeplace is an 1850’s working farm where west Kentucky’s history comes alive - Interpreters in period clothing demonstrate on a daily basis the chores and activities of another time. There are special events and festivals for every season. On another day one might return to explore the 200 miles of trails, the Nature Station, or the Golden Pond Planetarium & Observatory.

Great house and location!

We came to fish and relax a few days. This house was perfect. Very clean and well stocked. They have a boat to rent as well if you like. We were going to do that one day but my friend had already got too much sun, so may be next time.

House was terrific - clean, well appointed. Paul & Pam were great hosts. The location was really great; quiet & secluded, beautiful private dock where our kids spent hours and hours swimming & fishing, Murray is such a cute little town with everything you could need (15-20 mins), Nashville was a quick 1.5hour drive. We rented one of the boats and brought our own tow rope & intertube. A day well spent on the lake! Cottage had two rooms and a separate room and bath downstairs - you do have to go outside to get downstairs, but great to shower off after swimming and laundry machines too. Great vacation destination for us!

The best vacation we have had!!

From start to finish, we had the best stay! We live in Louisville and decided to travel closer for vacation this year, since we are taking a cruise in October. And I’m SO glad we did! The check in process was excellent, the cabin was cleaned and stocked with everything we need for cooking/cleaning! Paul rented us a boat for our stay and the kids had the best time tubing! (It was my first time too) we cruised up to Burger Barn for dinner; which was delicious and excellent pricing. We had the best views of the sunrise, and every morning we tried to get our their on our paddle boards! We had a surprise visitor on the lake with us; an armadillo!! He swam right next to us, so cool, another first for us! Pam and Paul were gracious, kind, and always there right away for our questions we had! Couldn’t have asked for a better, more fun trip filled with great fun, food, activities, sights, and more! We can’t wait to come back again for all seasons!! :)

Cozy stay - close to nature.

This was a perfect stay for me and my dog…warm fireplace, Cozy cabin, comfy beds, all the necessary kitchen tools, responsive hosts, and nature’s wonders! My favorite site were the two bald eagles I saw outside sitting in the tree in the yard! I would definitely recommend this location.

My husband and I along with our dog loved our stay! First and foremost, the view is wonderful! We saw deer, eagles, pelicans and squirrels. Cottage was exceptionally clean with wonderful attention to details from the welcome basket to the fresh spices in the kitchen. Gracious, welcoming hosts that provided timely communication. Overall, one of the best VRBO spots we have vacationed. Thanks Pam and Paul for a very special trip that we will always remember.

Absolutely Perfect

Perfect spot for our 5-day getaway with our two dogs. Waking up to the lake view each morning was a great way to start the day. (We were even lucky enough to have a bald eagle hanging out on the property.) The cottage was stocked with everything we needed to feel at home—including a thoughtful treat basket for both us and our pups! We enjoyed every moment and look forward to returning in the future. The town is really cute and an easy drive if you want to explore the area around Murray State.

Great Place for Rest and Relaxation

First off, we thoroughly enjoyed our stay at the Stone Cottage. It’s the perfect place if you want to get away and enjoy some peace and quiet. The lake is amazing and has a beautiful sunrise every morning. One of the highlights every day was to see the eagle perched in the tree next door. There’s not a lot to do in town, but they have a great Farmer’s Market on Saturdays and they have a pretty nice movie theater for a rainy day. They also have plenty of restaurants if you don’t feel like cooking. On the negative side, there were a few things… The pictures on the website are definitely dated. The planters are no longer filled with flowers, but with cobwebs and dead bugs. I understand it is a cottage, but if I was renting out a property, I would try and make an effort to clean the deck and the dock for the incoming renters . It’s not a big deal but it would have been nice. One of the things I noticed while I was looking at this property was the lack of pictures from inside, but there were a bunch of their boats (more on that later). When we arrived it all made sense. When you see the “master” bath you’ll understand why they left it out. The bedrooms were fine, but cramped. The furniture and decor is a little dated and needs replacing. The kitchen and laundry were also fine. We were going to rent a boat but we witnessed Paul be disrespectful and insulting to our neighbors for two hours during his “boat lesson”. Totally uncalled for. You don’t treat your customers that way.

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay. The amenities were exceptional the only thing I would have done differently was rent a boat from a marina there are alot of restrictions placed on their boat rentals. I rented the boat for 4 days and we only got it for one day after an hour and forty five minute training session.

Great location

The home has a beautiful location on the lake, it is only one hundred feet from the private dock. The property butts up against the park area and it is very secluded area. The property owners are very close if something goes wrong and they come right over if you need something. The fire place is nice and it has the feel of a cottage in the woods. If I had anything that was a problem for me it would be the size of the bathrooms, take in mind though I am a very large guy, it was not a problem for my wife. The basket of snacks was very nice and Pam even had a bag of dog treats for our Precious. Pam and Paul made getting a little down time a wonderful experience.

Quiet, beautiful, relaxing!

Pam and Paul are spectacular! The view is beyond beautiful. We rented one of the boats and Paul is the best instructor - EVER! Visit the Murray Farmers Market - it is a must. Everyone is so nice, friendly and makes you see that the town is a place to consider living! We were told the Marina had the best 'Burgers' and it is true! Actually all of the food at the Marina is wonderful. The drinks . . . are even better. If anyone tells you to go visit the 1880's Settlement - let us save you the trip and the expense - food at Patti's is less than desirable, expensive, and the workers are less friendly than anyone you will meet in Murray. Dinner for 4 over, with 1 drink, and 2 desserts over $200.00. Two of us did not even eat more than 2 bites of the 'pork chop' and was still on the table when the desserts were delivered. The Stone Cottage and Murray is a must and we bet that the view in the fall - when the leaves are changing is breathtaking.

Why they chose this property

Having been raised on Kentucky Lake I can’t imagine life anywhere else. I don’t take for granted how fortunate I am. Now sharing all the lake offers with others is extremely rewarding for us. Hearing from first time visitors that Kentucky Lake is so much more than they imagined it would be makes having developed our properties all worth while.
After completing several projects, both commercial and residential, my ;lifelong interest in architecture is combined with that of assuring a great vacation.

What makes this property unique

From the ground up there’s an emphasis that comes naturally on making sure our accommodations be of a quality not found in rental homes in the area, and that the features compliment this exceptional property and location. Whether it’s a unique attribute incorporated in the structural design or a special element that creates an unexpected convenience, making it unforgettable is the priority.
With my wife Pam having had a 20 year career in the luxury hotel & resort industry she lends a professional touch. As a Director for North America & Europe she lead a talented team overseeing Sales, Marketing and PR for many of the finest resorts & hotels in the world. Her knowledge is on a global scale from a wide array of 5-star themes.
