Perfect Getaway Destination

We loved our time spent on Kentucky Lake. The home is very comfortable and has every amenity. There is a lot of space, so a group of ten won’t feel crowded. The access to the water is very convenient and the scenery is beautiful.

Perfect trip for the weekend!

This house is beautiful and in a great location on the lake. Our group had 12 girls and we were able to fit comfortably. This house was perfect for our annual lake trip, but Tim made it even better! He is super easy to communicate with and treated us like family. We had a great time hanging out around the dock on floats. Overall could not have asked for a better experience. We will 100% be staying at this property again in the future!

Amazing property!

We arrived fathers day week to spend time with my sick father, for fathers day. The house is very clean and nice. The owner, Tim, was super friendly! The hill is pretty steep. Difficult if you have mobility issues. They were doing work on the property at the time of the visit. But stayed mostly out of our way. Would definitely recommend.

Family Wedding

We stayed at Cabin on the Cove while attending a family wedding nearby. We had no idea how large and beautiful Kentucky Lake was and were so pleased with the home, views and the lake. The home was everything we expected and more. Clean, updated and all the comforts of home. The screen porch was my favorite! I enjoyed my morning coffee and book while relaxing in the swing on the porch, it was a great way to start the day. The 2 story deck was great as well, I wish we would have had more time to spend out there. The accommodations are well thought out, extra pillows, blankets, peg racks in the bedrooms for hanging bags, jackets, hats... Cabin on the Cove was a 5 star experience. Thank you Tim.

Perfect for weekend getaway!

My family stayed at this property for the KHSAA Bass Fishing State Tournament. We really enjoyed our stay! House is new and nicely decorated. The house was clean and smelled fresh upon arrival. The (4) bedrooms are located across 3 floors so everyone was able to spread out and have their own space. The beds were very comfortable. There’s a nice, deep soaking tub in the upstairs bedroom. Kitchen was well equipped with everything I needed to prepare meals. This house is a new construction and is completed. But, the yard is still all mud. There was a small sod area out front but grass was high. They are working on completing the landscaping. The screened in porch was lovely to hang out on with a nice view of their cove. There is a small dining table and some chairs. I’d recommend adding some comfortable loungers or Adirondacks to the bottom sundeck for relaxing and reading. We appreciated having Alexa dots throughout the house to ask for the forecast or play music. There is a very cool fireplace insert in the family room. The only TV in the house is downstairs in the lowest level. We would’ve appreciated another tv either in the master upstairs or the kitchen/family room area. The driveway is VERY steep, but the owners let us park on a flat spot on their adjoining lot. The owner, Tim, couldn’t have been more friendly, responsive or helpful! We will stay there again!
