Spent 2 days at the Gray Dog Cottage! Fishing off the dock was really good! Lots of bluegill, crappie, baby bass, and a few catfish. Quiet area and in a cove so not alot of water traffic. Our kids enjoyed swimming at the dock and kayaking.Lots of great outdoor space for entertainment and to hang out. Beds were comfy and house was equipped with everything we needed. Very cleanA well taken care of older home and loved the 90s vibe of the place! Already planning to come back in the summer for an extended stay! Loved the location and vibe of the place!We definitely want to come back!

Great lakefront property

Great lakefront property with private dock and boat lift! Boat launch is 3 minutes away and worked perfect for our 17’ bass tracker. Watched bald eagles from the deck. Will stay again in the future.

Just what we were looking for

Quiet, private, comfortable outdoor space. Homey, well-supplied indoor space with great views. Highlight of the stay was a bald eagle landing in a tree 20 yards from where I sat on the deck!

Cosy lakefront stay

Carolyn was a wonderful host. We entered the home with soft music playing and cookies for snacking. She was available for any questions. The home is on the lake with beautiful views and the home itself is very cosy.

Enjoy the lake

Beautiful scenery in a lovely location. Perfect for lounging with a good book or breakfast on the deck! Indoors would benefit from updating in the kitchen and bathroom especially. We really enjoyed the great room, and the kitchen had plenty of dishes, etc. If you’re looking for a good place to enjoy the lake, though, this is great! The host was super to communicate with and supplied loads of towels. She even baked fresh cookies to welcome us! - they were excellent!

Our family thoroughly enjoyed our stay at the Gray Dog Cottage. The house was clean and well supplied with comfortable beds and pillows. The spacious deck gave us a beautiful view of the lake, and we had a great time kayaking off of the private backyard dock into Lake Barkley. The house is conveniently located for site seeing and other activities in the Land Between the Lakes area also. The owner left us several helpful suggestions for things to do during our stay. The cookie jar was full of fresh cookies on our arrival and they were delicious! We had a plumbing problem due to some work the water company did on the water lines during our stay, which caused the shower to stop running. The owners answered my call right away and were at the house to fix it within 45 min and had it working perfectly in about 30 min. We were very impressed with their prompt response. I would definitely highly recommend this house to anyone who does not have significant mobility limitations. The shower area is too small for someone who has need for a chair or much assistance, and as is often the case with lakefront property, there is a steep grade down to the lake, but I think this is pretty obvious from the photos.

Memories

We had a wonderful time at the lake house. 4 adults and 2 children we had lots of room to spread out. Having 2 patio areas was nice.The view is beautiful.We took the boat and it was so convenient to dock and go up to the house if we needed anything. The kids enjoyed playing with their battery operated boat off the dockThere is a boat lift which was nice.My husband uses a walker and it was very easy for him to get around. We cooked in and had everything we needed.The beds were very comfortable.The house was very clean.Our grandchildren said this was one of their favorite places to come.We made great memories here!! Carolyn and her husband were a phone call away if we needed anything.There were fresh chocolate chip cookies for us to enjoy which was a nice touch they were delicious !! We will definitely rent this home again !!! Thank you for sharing your home with us !!

View from the Deck is the best!

This is a nice house right on the water of Lake Barkley. There is a private dock that the kids played on the whole time. Swimming, fishing, kayaking(we had our own). The house is on an open cove so there is some boat traffic but most of it is across the inlet. There is a very quiet cove just around the corner that the kids loved kayaking and fishing in. There is a nice ladder on the dock for swimming. The kids practiced on a stand up paddle board and flipping over and re-entering kayaks in safety. The water area and the view from the deck are the best features and worth checking out. The cabin is nicely appointed we even broke out the included ice cream maker and had the kids enjoy that! If you bring a family, we recommend bringing some plastic cups and paper plates. All the options in the kitchen were glass and I was a nervous wreck with the kids using them. Communication was excellent from the owner. We definitely recommend.

The property was very nice and we enjoyed staying there. We loved the lake views and firepit. The only thing that we had trouble with was the kayak ramp. One of the attachments to the dock was severed, and without railings, we were uncertain whether we could get the kayak back on deck after taking it out.
