Fall Retreat

My family has a fall retreat every year, we keep going different places each year because the homes we visit don't really fit but this is a lovely home, the photos are spot on! Barbra came to greet us upon our arrival and gave a quick tour of the home. We all made some very happy memories while there. My family said that this may be a 'return home' in the future.

Fantastic location, wonderful house

First of all the owner was extremely accessible. Responded to messages almost immediately. Everything was clean, worked well and we lacked nothing. The house is beautiful and has a wonderful lake view. Has its own dock. Game room downstairs was a hit with table tennis, billiards and shuffleboard. Highly recommended!

Perfect Family Getaway

Loved this lake house. Beautiful views, and lots of room to spread out. The kitchen was fabulous. And the living room with great views. The pictures didn’t do it justice. An unexpected bonus that wasn’t in the pictures was the beautiful front porch and huge lawn where the kids could run and play in the evening and catch fireflies. So peaceful. The dock was great too. We spent a lot of time in the water (warm!) with our water toys. We left with a lot of special memories and hope to return.

Wonderful vacation

We had a great time at this beautiful house, the house is well equipped and very comfortable. The game room was a hit for all ages. The walk down to the dock was made easier for bad knees by areas to sit and relax and the view of the water from the gazebo was perfect for watching family play! We highly recommend this rental!

Great family friendly lake house !!!

As empty nesters, it is a challenge to get the family together each year for our annual birthday bash. This lake house didn’t disappoint. There was ample room for our adult children and their significant others with everyone having an actual bed to sleep in and not a bunk bed 😉. Loved the openness of the living, kitchen and dining area, which allowed us to all be able to hang out together. The large island was fabulous for the breakfast and dinner buffets and loved the nostalgic can opener. We had one small issue but the owner was very responsive and it was resolved immediately. The view of the lake was amazing, which definitely ranks this lake house as a five star. Thank you so much for opening up your beautiful lake home to our family.

About the host

Hosted by Barbra Mullaney

Host profile image
We are a family of six from Brentwood, Tennessee with a love of hiking and spending time together outdoors. We bought this home to bring family and friends for a gathering place close to home, to relax after a stressful week at school or work, and to enjoy the beauty of the lake, tall and flowering trees, and abundant wildlife. We looked at many lake homes in Kentucky and Tennessee and fell in love with the wrap-around porch leading to spectacular views of the lake and the great room with two story windows inviting you to unwind, relax and entertain. We have fun coming up with new ideas and projects for the lakehouse. The most recent addition is the Gazebo. It is a privilege and joy to share our oasis on the lake with people wanting to celebrate and gather with friends and family.

Why they chose this property

This property offers the best of lakefront living — sweeping water views, spacious entertaining areas, and five inviting bedrooms. It’s a peaceful escape where every detail invites you to slow down and savor the moment.

What makes this property unique

From sunrise coffee in the cedar gazebo to sunset cruises from the private dock, this home blends comfort with unforgettable experiences. The game room keeps everyone entertained, while multiple decks and gathering areas make it easy to enjoy the lake together — or find a quiet moment just for you.
