About this property
Lake house in Pirate's Cove Pet friendly with large outdoor entertainment area
Beautiful, cozy lake house in Pirate’s Cove, located in Kentucky Lake in the Jonathan’s Creek area. You will have access to the Pirate's Cove boat launch 2 miles from home or a public boat ramp 3 miles from the lake home. Jonathan Creek offers the best fishing on the lake. Pirate’s Cove resort offers 1.5 miles of waterfront for fishing, hiking, or swimming with gorgeous lake views, shoreline fishing and beach access year-round. Our lake home is 20 minutes from Murray State University, 15 minutes from Land between the Lakes, 40 minutes to Venture Water Park, and 45 minutes from the Quilt Museum.
Our family friendly home is a two-story 1,500 square foot home with 2 bedrooms, a loft, 2 bathrooms and 2 entertainment spaces. The main floor has 2 bedrooms (one with a queen bed the other with a queen and twin bunk bed), a half bath, large family room with entertainment setup and seating for 6-8. The family room also includes 2 large picture windows with awesome view of the yard and a door leading to upper deck. The loft has a queen bed, full-size futon, and TV; the perfect hangout for kids and teenagers. The lower level has a well-appointed kitchen (service for 8), full bath with tub/shower (with washer and dryer) and large dining room with a family style farm table; including TV, plenty of rainy day activities like puzzles, coloring books, board games and card games.
The large 1100 sq ft wraparound lower deck is perfect for entertaining with an outdoor eating area table with 2 outdoor sectionals (seating for 10) and 10 patio chairs, including decorative patio lighting. The deck steps down to a large, quiet, peaceful backyard full of large mature trees, hammock, outdoor games, and fire pit.
Parking: room for 6 large SUVs. The front of the house, has a large carport (large enough for a pontoon boat) and a gravel parking pad that can accommodate 2 large SUVs. A 2nd driveway leading to the back of the house, is least 50’ long and can accommodate an additional 3 large SUVs.
Kentucky Lake is the largest man-made lake east of the Mississippi River. It is also the largest body of water between the Great Lakes and the Gulf of Mexico.
Boat launching from the Pirate's Cove Marina is included in the rental. Boat slips can be rented from Pirate's Cove resort. Please visit the resort website for more resort information on boat slip rental: https://piratescoveky.com The community pool is typically operational from Memorial Day to Labor Day but you must contact that Pirates Cove office prior to your visit to confirm. Please note that the beach is a typical rocky lake beach and not a white sandy Florida beach.
Please also note there are two outdoor cameras on-site at each exterior door of the home to serve as a home security system. 2 Dog limit with a $25 fee per dog. Please contact owner to add more than one dog to reservation. There are many stairs/steps in the home that some would consider very steep. Please keep this in mind when booking.

The house had plenty of space and room for outdoor activity. We especially enjoyed the deck area. Kitchen oven could use a good clean but otherwise everything else is as advertised. We had a great Holiday weekend here.
We were so happy staying here. Lots of parking room for trucks and trailers, plenty of room inside, great layout, very clean, end lot with lots of privacy and a cool airstrip right behind the property. Will always choose this place when we return to KY.
Took our FFA Chapter Officers on a retreat to do our yearly planning. The student had a great time and there was so much that they could do in the area. Loved all the board games that they had available for our rainy day.
Thank you Lindsey loved our stay and all of the information and getting back to us with timely responses. The game room was great for the kids. We had a great time! Will def keep this property in mind for future.
Thank you for our wonderful stay we absolutely loved it and your home. Lots to do from boating, hiking, swimming, playing games and enjoying the fire pit for s’mores. We hope to get back down again highly recommended. Thanks for everything
Overall we enjoyed our stay. We had a little snag at checkin where the code did not open the property, but the owner quickly reset and provided a new code. Very cute cabin set up and decor, and the thermostat worked great! They have a little ac unit and fan in the crows nest area so that was also comfortable temperature wise. The stairs were exceptionally steep and gave us all a workout to get up and down from the kitchen to the bedroom levels all weekend. Also the only shower is in the lower level with the kitchen, while all the bedrooms are on the main floor and crows nest area.
Very cute summer house. Loved the cabin like feel and the decorations are adorable. Very clean and over all fun. My only negative remarks are everything is very low. If you had/need a hip or knee replacement, this is not the right fit for you. All the beds are low, chairs are low except for one, and the tub wall is very high. But otherwise extremely cute!!!!

DANGEROUS STAIRS
1st, it was hard to figure out which house it was because there were no numbers on the house. We decided to try the key code hoping we were not trying to open the wrong house.
2nd, THE STAIRS ARE VERY DANGEROUS!!!My daughter fell from the 2nd to the top, landed on her butt on the 4th from the top, falling off the side of the staircase onto her hands and knees on the floor below barely missing falling down the downstairs flight. She is 18 and was holding onto the one railing before she fell. The steps should be called a ladder bc you had to either turn around and climb down or hold the railing and turn sideways and hold the stair after stepping like i did.
100% do not recommend anyone staying up in that room.
Besides that it was warm, clean, and comfortable.

Family Thanksgiving gathering
The house was interesting with a quirky setup but met our needs. The dining room table was large enough for our Thanksgiving dinner and the kitchen was convenient to the gathering space downstairs. The kitchen needs some upgrades and more flatware, utensils, etc. The house was very clean with the exception of the outdoor space. The grill wasn’t usable. We traveled with our pet so always looking for pet friendly accommodations with a yard. The yard was not fenced in, which would have been fine but there was a neighbor dog around that made us uncomfortable. The location was great for enjoying the Land between the Lakes hiking area but there isn’t much else if you are looking for more than relaxing at the house. We enjoyed our fire pit daily, the kids loved all the games, and overall it was a good experience. One thing I would suggest is to offer cable or satellite. This is an issue for football fans in the fall. I can imagine this home would be perfect in the Summer due to the great lake location!
Such a cool spot! It has lots of beds and a ton of outdoor space. It is in a beautiful area and it was nice to hear all of the crickets and tree frogs and no sirens!
Checkin was easy and unit was clean. Very nice place. We enjoyed our stay. The stairs to loft are very steep but not a problem for us. There is no pool or marina as stated in the VRBO site.
