About this property

Perfect Location For Your Lake Getaway

Sunset Cottage at Lake Barkley is a beautifully renovated, 4 bedroom 4 bath waterfront rental home in a quiet cove near Lake Barkley Lodge and Marina. The home has been professionally decorated, with attention to detail to make your stay relaxing and memorable.

Sunset Cottage will accommodate multi-family and friend gatherings and reunions, as it has beds for 12 but will sleep up to 14 people. The kitchen has new stainless appliances, and is fully stocked for families who enjoy cooking. A propane gas grill is also provided. The eat-in kitchen provides a large island that seats 8. A spacious deck has a dining table for 8 and beautiful outdoor wicker furniture. A screened-in porch on the lower level provides a dining table for 6 and wicker furniture to seat an additional 9 people.

The property has a gently sloped yard that leads to a private covered dock and 2 jet ski pads. Guests are invited to use the perimeter of the private dock during the summer months as the owner's boat occupies the covered lift. Ropes and bumpers are provided. A fire pit near the water's edge provides the perfect opportunity for roasting marshmallows and hot dogs, or just relaxing and making memories with family and friends.

Sunset Cottage is located in the popular Little River area of Lake Barkley, with Sandy Beach just across the bay. Enjoy your morning coffee while watching the deer play at the water's edge, or catch a glimpse of the famous Bald Eagles and Great White Pelicans as they soar across the lake.

Two kayaks are provided for guests who would like to explore the tranquil area by water.

The home's loft is the ideal space for a family with kids. It has a king-size bed and 2 twin beds with trundles to accommodate 2 additional persons. The loft includes a full private bath, and a 36 inch Smart TV. Additional Smart TV's are equipped with YouTube TV in the Master Bedroom (42 inch) and Lower Level Family Room (55 inch). The Lower Level Blue Bedroom has a 32 inch flat screen TV with YouTube TV. Ample parking space is provided with driveways on both sides of the home, and includes a carport.

The Rivers End boat ramp is conveniently located just down the street from the entrance of our subdivision, Parkview Shores (approx 1/2 mile).

Our family of 6 (grandparents, parents, kids - 9 & 12) really enjoyed our stay! We like spending a few days at a lake during fall break each year. Our usual place was booked and we were lucky enough to find this beautiful property! It checked all our box's. The fishing was exciting, we reeled in some of the biggest fish we've ever cought (lake or inshore fishing the gulf). The areas we kayaked to and explored were also exciting. The property is beautiful, the house is cozy, well decorated, the bathroom's and bedrooms are very nice, the bed linens were clean and comfortable. The screened in porch and fire pit we're awesome! We were very happy with the accomodations and will be back in the future.

We highly recommend this beautiful home. This was our second time at this home. We enjoyed the deck and the screen room. We rented a pontoon boat for the week at Lake Barkley Marina. We had a blast in the water. Grandson caught his first catfish. Wonderful memories made. We will be back!

Fabulous lake house!

We stayed as a family (of 8) in this beautiful lake house as the start of our family vacation. The house is beautifully updated, with lots of space for our family. Double washer and dryers, plenty of games, comfortable linens, large spa-like showers, easy lake access, etc. the kids really enjoyed using the provided kayaks, and we enjoyed grilling steaks out on the deck. We kept a nice fire going outside down by the lake, and really enjoyed the beautiful view. We would definitely stay here again!

A Relaxing Weekend Away

This house is beautiful, and the location is serene, with deer wandering through the yard throughout the day. We had 8 people stay in the house, and we could have fit more without feeling cramped at all. The house was clean, and the kayaks, screened-in patio, and lounge area down by the water really made our weekend.

Perfect family vacation house

Three generations of family stayed in May. The house was beautiful and exactly as described/pictured, and it was stocked so well that we didn't need to supply any kitchen items. Bedrooms were set up perfectly for our family. Bright, comfortable, and beautiful views. Communication with property manager was excellent. I would recommend this house to anyone!

Ultimate Relaxation

My 83 year-old mom, sister and I loved our stay here so much we did not leave the property from check-in to check-out. We made all our meals in the beautiful, well stocked kitchen. Spent our mornings on the deck, afternoons sitting by the lake and then headed in to the screened porch until dinner. I also took advantage of the kayaks every morning exploring beautiful Lake Barkley. This property was perfect for my mom because getting up and down to the lake didn't require stairs or maneuvering a super steep hill like many of the lake houses I saw, just a slight hill she was able to handle just fine. This was our second trip to Sunset Cottage and we are already talking about making our third.

We have stayed in several VRBO properties at Lake Barkley, and this one was our favorite! We had four couples, and each of us had our own bedroom and bathroom. The lake access and private dock were perfect for us, and the driveway was spacious enough for our boat trailer. Great stay!

Perfect Vacation Home for 3 Generations

The layout of this home is perfect for kids, parents and grandparents. We stayed for 4 nights during a very rainy week, but had plenty of room to spread out on different levels. Loved having a bathroom linked with each bedroom. We cooked most of our meals at the house and found all the supplies we needed - even a crockpot.The location is great for exploring the Land Between the Lakes. Loved the Homeplace 1850's Working Farm and Nature Center. Would definitely stay here again!

Relaxing Lake House & Grounds

Super easy to find. Incredible views. Very nice updated & spacious house. Enough comfortable sleeping space. Easy access, and safe, to lake. Rented a boat for a day, rode to house to get everyone. Great fun!! Elk & Bison Reserve fun for an hour. Inside house areas nice, and just enough for the possible rainy day. Glad we went!! Mike is very attentive and friendly.

About the host

Hosted by WOW Properties, LLC

Host profile image
We found Sunset Cottage in the Fall of 2016. We are lovers of the lake and outdoors, and wanted to capture memories with our young adult and teen children. We decided to list Sunset Cottage through VRBO since we live in Owensboro, KY, and are unable to be at the lake full time. Sunset Cottage is our Happy Place, and we feel positive that it will become a favorite of yours as well.

Why they chose this property

Simply stated...the view, the lake, the beautiful home. We fell in love....

What makes this property unique

We fell in love with Sunset Cottage because of the design, and the fabulous views of the lake and sunset.
