About this property

Lake front, Romantic Honeymoon Getaway.

Welcome to "Thee Hidden Pearl" at Barren River Lake, Kentucky. It has a very private 400 sq. ft. suite, with fantastic view overlooking the lake. Located merely six miles from Beaver Creek boat ramp with campground, dock, and Beach area; as well as being convenient to Barren River State Park, and gas stations. Be sure to bring your camera along for watching the bald eagles fly around the lake..
This lake is managed by the Army Corp. of Engineers. The water level is regulated to be at summer levels from May through the middle of October.

From the middle of October until the first part of May, the lake is at its winter level and most private docks on the lake are unusable. During this time, the lake cannot be seen from this property.

The lakebed is still a fun place to walk and there is a small creek that flows year round. During the summer, the lake level stays fairly constant unless there are heavy rains or extreme drought. Because of this, we cannot guarantee what the water level will be. Please ask questions if you have any.

Imagine drinking your morning coffee on the front porch overlooking the lake on the country ridge, just before heading off for a morning hike or a quick 18 holes at the State Park.
.
Regardless of how you spend your time during your stay, this vacation rental will keep you coming back again and again!

Nice Getaway

The place was very beautiful and inviting despite there had been a bad storm the week before and fallen trees were blocking the view of the lake. The dock to the lake was covered by water and you couldn't use it to fish from but all in all my husband and I enjoyed being there. Mrs. Jan was a real sweet lady and invited us to come back when the water was down and we could fish.

Peace and Traquility Abound

Jan, the property owner, met us. She is and was the perfect hostess. The surrounding property, the lake, and the beautiful attention to detail in landscaping showed the affection owners placed on their land and the environment for years. The lake was mesmerizing. We enjoyed watching the cranes fly in. The interior was immaculate and beautifully decorated. It is a special place for a relaxing, peaceful getaway.

Peaceful and Easy Vacation Spot

We stayed just 2 nights as a birthday celebration. Just a few short miles out of town but it felt like we were truly deep in nature. Accommodations were great Jan thought of all the little details. We took the paddle boat for an afternoon of leisure on the lake, great add on. Did some star gazing from the front porch in the gravity chairs and drove into Glasgow for provisions. Only thing to remember is that Barron County is moist so if you want to have a glass of wine while relaxing around the fire pit or sitting on the dock you better stop on your way.

Wish I could have stayed longer!

I had a business trip in the area and needed a place to stay that was comfortable, reasonably priced and preferably with a view of the water. I certainly was not disappointed! The apartment and surrounding property are beautiful! Ms. Jan, the owner, takes exceptional care of her place and puts a lot of TLC into everything, not to mention she's an amazing and lovely person! I felt like family instead of a guest. The view of the cove is stunning and provides a sense of peace since it's away from the hustle and bustle of the main lake, but easily accessible to it. The paddleboat was a lot of fun but next time I'd like to rent a boat with a motor to venture out farther on the lake. The jetted tub provided a wonderful way to wind down at the end of the day, although the shower is nice as well, with an added hand-held water head with varying speeds. The bed was very comfy as was the sectional couch for watching the large flat-screen TV. I also enjoyed sitting on the patio, listening to the sounds of nature, and staring up at the stars at night. Sitting there I had a fantastic view of Jupiter and Venus setting! I'm really looking forward to the opportunity to return. Thank you, Jan, my new friend!

Best lake house getaway!

I could write a book over why everyone should stay at this beautiful lake house! The private location of the house, perfect flat lake front with dock, and all the amenities you could ask for to go with the perfect lake stay. The host, Jan, is absolutely a sweetie! The best host I’ve ever met and I want to go back just to visit Jan! But you can kayak, paddle boat, fish or fix a s’mores on the fire pit with the s’mores kit provided by Jan. Beautiful, peaceful and perfect! We will be back, and with the whole family next time!

A True Southern Escape ~

This vacation spot was exactly what my girlfriend and I needed. A disconnect from everything happening in this world today. This hideaway is tucked away in the green hills outside of Glasgow, which is a very sweet little town that has everything you need and even to get by, plus a little extra. Driving down a winding backroad, you’ll find this hideout alongside its incredibly familiar hostess, Jan. Jan makes you feel so at home, like one of her family. She mostly stays in her house, but it was a treat for us every time she decided to join us for conversation. I have never wanted a host to spend so much time with me on my vacation!!! She truly has a heart of gold, and an AMAZING eye for southern interior design. We kayaked using her lime green kayaks, and the Green River is quite a beautiful site especially at sunrise/sunset. Just watch for the bats when the sun starts going down! This is a place to come if you truly appreciate simple pleasures. Long drives down country roads, grilling over an open fire, swinging in the hammocks, kayaking and swimming, fishing, etc. Theres also plenty of places in downtown to go grab a bite to eat if you so need. To finish this 5 star review off, I just want to thank Jan (although she probably wont see this) for the opportunity to return to a traditional way of life, which reminded us the importance of nature and having a simple life. Hoping this review will help more people make the decision to stay here at least once for vacation!!!

A birthday getaway!

My husband is from the land of a 1,000 lakes and misses the water. I surprised him for his birthday at this lovely retreat. The owner was, as I call her "River Queen", so gracious and provided the best southern hospitality one could ask. The peaceful atmosphere was so calming. We would definitely recommend this rental.

LOVED

We had the best stay. It was exactly what we had planned, which was a quiet weekend in. The only reason I give accuracy 4 stars is because there was no WiFi as listed when I booked. We had planned to watch some movies on a Roku which needs WiFi however our stay was still overall excellent & we in the end enjoyed that we didn’t have WiFi because we felt like it gave us that much more quality time. Our host was so sweet & truly made us feel welcome for the short time we talked with her.

Lovely Lakeside Delight!

The cabin was very clean and superbly decorated. The natural surroundings of only trees, bird chatter and the soothing sounds of the lake were all delightful- a perfect getaway amidst nature. To top it off, the owner, Jan is very cheerful, welcoming and even had her son use his Jeep to tow our sailboat down to the lake- thank you to all! We had a lovely anniversary weekend with lots of privacy and all the amenities including a large, relaxing jacuzzi!

Heaven on earth

The land was beautiful, the house was so cozy, and the owner made you feel like family. She does live on the property but other then to check us in we didn’t see or hear from her again until the second day when we came back from being out out on a pontoon all day, she was checking someone into the back rental and just asked how we were, she noticed I was very red from being in the sun too long, we we came out after showering to go to dinner she had left a container of vinegar for my burn and some cherry tomatoes from her garden on the front porch.we had a wonderful time! We will be returning, do yourself a favor and check this place out, you won’t be disappointed. You are right on the lake, with paddle boats, and kayaks plus a great place to fish and swim.

About the host

Why they chose this property

My father bought the farm for investment in 1973. He knew my husband and I wanted to live on the lake. He allowed me to pick the best spot, which is five acres, surrounded by government land and the lake on three sides. I designed and built the house.

What makes this property unique

I wanted to share and decided to make it possible for others to come, too. Therefore this is partly why I am renting. I will make you feel at home and like family. This I have done to a many in the past. So many people have said they feel such peace as soon as they enter the open gate entrance to my property. It's been said it truly is a hidden pearl.
I look forward to seeing you too.
