About this property

Barren Lake Waterfront Eclectic Cabin - Dock; 17 miles from Mammoth Cave

A truly unique eclectic cabin with modern amenities on this lakefront property with direct access to a private group dock. This lakehouse cabin is the perfect getaway for those wanting lake access, a dock and close proximity to the Narrows Marina (direct view from the dock); with all the amenities of modern comfort. We are located 15 miles from Barren River State Park and 17 miles from Mammoth Cave National Park. Note: The lake level drops beginning October 15th every year. The cove has year round water, but the dock will be dry during winter months. This allows extra shore for exploration, and kayaking/fishing are still available.

(We are a Certified Wildlife Habitat accredited by the National Wildlife Federation and Kentucky Waterways Alliance.)

Awesomely Tranquil and Private!

This is the perfect place to sit on the deck during the day or sit by the fire at night, we loved everything about this quaint little home! The stairs up and down were a bit of a challenge for my 81-year-old Mom, but she made the trip and the stairs like a champ! I would have given it a 5 star rating, but I won't lie - we were disappointed with the lake access (which is specifically why I picked this property), but due to recent rains and historic flooding in central Kentucky - the path to get to the dock at the lake was flooded.... :-(We can't wait until we can book again, when the lake will be back down to normal levels. Thanks again, we had a wonderful time!

Family Fall Break

We loved staying at this VRBO property! The outdoor space was ideal for a campfire and relaxing. Beautifully maintained property. You could see the lake through the trees while relaxing. The property has a cozy cottage feel, but still enough space for the whole family. The kids had fun fishing at the doc and caught bluegills. The kitchen had everything we needed and there were plenty of linens and towels. The proximity to Mammoth Cave National park (35 minutes) and Bowling Green (40 minutes) was great! We will be back!

Summer Stay

This house was the perfect place to stay and check out Mammoth Cave and surrounding areas. Two of our days were simply spent on the lake and at the house playing games and enjoying the fire pit. Not too far from any kind of attraction, well equipped, and comfortable.

Cozy Cabin with Everything you Need

My family, which included a teen, a tween, two grandparents and my spouse very much enjoyed and appreciated the charm and coziness of this cabin. The lake was at its lowest which made it perfect to go find fossils, which we did! It was so nice to come back here and relax after all our cave adventures. We would definitely stay here again. Also, we very much enjoyed finding all the frogs hidden in plain site! That was a fun game.

This cabin sets the standard for VRBO!

Every aspect of this cabin was a premium experience! S’mores kit, firewood & kindling, comfortable beds, fishing rods & tackle box, kayaks & life vests, swimming, Sonos speakers, tvs with Apple TVs, condiments in fridge, toiletries. I could go on and on how great this place was. Did I mention it was SUPER clean? 19min to Mammoth Cave, 20min to a Walmart. It’s going to be so hard to stay anywhere else after this cabin!

Disliked: Communication

Small and cozy but some issues.

When we first arrived we were treated by a mouse on a sticky pad. Needless to say we found mouse droppings in a lot of places. Including our towels. I tried communicating with the owner after our stay and never received a response. The sleeping accommodations are for 7 but that is the only thing. We had to bring seating in from outside to have comfortable places to sit in the living room. There is only enough seating at the kitchen table for 4 but there are tv trays. Other than all of that it was a nice place to stay. Beautiful views and comfortable beds. Also be aware the beds are all upstairs and downstairs which we didn’t realize (but should have). Not a great place for small children or elderly.

This place is FANTASTIC

My family and I like to stay at different properties when we take vacation time as a family. We normally like to stay in different places. Within 15 minutes of being at the property, the kids wanted to come back on our next vacation. This place was picturesque. I can't tell you how much we enjoyed our stay. It it was all of the little things that the owners thought of that made the difference. They even thought of making a tackle box that had smores supplies for the firepit. I can't recommend this property more. Unless something happens, my family and I will be back this spring.

Wonderful

Only stayed two nights in this house and wished I had a whole month. The owners had everything you could ever need. They also left me a birthday treat of yummy pumpkin bread. I loved sitting by the fire at night. And fishing during the day. I absolutely fell in love with the cabin, the view, the atmosphere. Can’t wait to come back to this one!

Wonderful Cabin

We had a great time at this Cabin. The location was remote but still close enough to needed services. Cozy and loaded with many extras including a s’more kit that the kids loved. Top notch amenities throughout the cabin. I would recommend this for anyone wanting to get away from the hustle.

Perfect little getaway

Our family has been wanting to go to Mammoth Cave for some time. Upon searching for a place to stay while there, we came across “A Stones Throw” on Barren River Lake. The listing looked great…on the water, kayaks, fishing, etc. It was a new listing with no reviews, but we took a chance. IT WAS PERFECT!!! Everything was exactly as the listing described. We did morning cave tours, grabbed some lunch and spent the rest of the day on the water…so much fun!! The deck space was phenomenal with lots of seating and the fire pit was a great place to end the day with s’mores. The home owners were super easy to communicate with and responded quickly to any questions we had. Loved our stay and highly recommend!!!

Fantastic place HIGHLY RECOMMEND!

This was perfect for our little getaway, we all loved the location, we seen a deer every morning walking through woods. We were stunned via the things that was there for use i mean it was over and above! The only thing i would highly recommend folks bringing is mosquito spray and lots of it, but remember you are in the woods so it is expected your going to get them! (of course 100% not a shot at the property) Our group have stayed at a few places for a little getaway but this has been by far the BEST! A few stair but once again you have to expect that. This might sound silly but we loved the stone speaker that just made the nights around the fire pit perfect!...HIGHLY RECOMMEND and the owners are great to have correspondence with!!!
