The Kentucky Kajun! A Beautiful 5 Bed / 4 Bath Cabin On Barren River Lake. Sleeps 14!

Make your family memories at this Barren River Lake Beauty! Welcome to your lake vacation home!

From the moment you walk into this charming cabin you will feel the warmth and privacy of the home, the calm of the lake and the beauty from all its countryside surroundings. Nestled on Bailey’s Point with one of the best views of Barren River Lake sits this beautifully appointed 5 bedroom and4 full bath log cabin. Sit, relax and enjoy the most beautiful sunset on the entire lake right on your back porch or bring your thirst for adventure on the lake by enjoying many of the hiking trails nearby. Our neighbor to the east is a quaint working dairy farm. You can see wildlife like deer and turkey in their fields while enjoying coffee on the front porch. Sometimes, when the wind is just right, you may even catch the smell of what makes the grass grow so good. To some, that may not be too pleasant and for some it may bring back great memories but either way it is temporary and hey, it lets you know you’re not in the city anymore, and that's why we come here!
Regardless your desires, bring your friends or family and make your memories here at our Barren River Cabin, “The Kentucky Kajun”, and get a first hand experience how life on the lake should be.

This rustic log cabin offers two master suites on the top level each with its own bathroom. One master has a desk for office space. The main level has a bedroom with two queens and a full bath. There are two bedrooms in the basement along with a full bathroom. One basement bedroom has a full/twin bunk and an additional twin bed. The other basement room has a queen bed. The main floor boasts a spacious, well-appointed kitchen, bar seating , high chair, and anything you would need to prepare a gourmet meal. The kitchen adjoins the living room featuring a cathedral ceiling, flat screen TV and electric fireplace, perfect for relaxing after a day on the water. Step right outside the back door and take in the picturesque views from the deck. Fire up the gas grill and enjoy a meal on the deck or side porch, also overlooking the lake. After dinner, bring the family downstairs to enjoy all the amenities of the walkout basement. In addition to a number of board games, it also features two additional bedrooms, and a flat screen TV for movie or game night with the family. The bunk basement bedroom has a tv equipped with a dvd only and there is a trunk full of DVD’s for your viewing entertainment! It also has an HDMI cord attached if you want to hook your computer to it. Walk right outside the basement door and enjoy a relaxing dip in the hot tub or just steps past the hot tub is a fire pit. We have firewood for your convenience to enjoy a night by the fire.

** Barren River lake cabins are somewhat high up....we would not consider it a gentle slope down to the water. It will take some guided steps toward the water but is certainly doable!

    The home was beautiful. Very clean and lots of extra stuff (spices, laundry supplies, shampoo, conditioner, paper towels). We enjoyed the grill, hot tub and fire pit (firewood was included already). The host, Cori was excellent at communication and updated us as needed. We enjoyed this home and was one of our favorites. We travel each year for family vacation an this was without doubt the best one we have used . We also appreciated the welcome to our home gifts (popcorn, fiddle faddle, cheese crackers) what a warming gesture. One thing I really liked was the light switches, ceiling fan, tv remotes are all labeled for you :) Will visit again.The cons were very few: (the dairy farm across the road the natural smells swept through but didn't last long) the path to the lake was difficult to venture down if you want to get your feet wet or skip some rocks. Don't let these simple things stop you from staying the Pros definitely outweigh them.

    This is the most perfect cabin! Everything we needed was there, just where you’d expect. There were towels for bathing as well as those designated for the hot tub and cleaning up dirty footprints. We had plenty of dishes and cookware for 6 people. Switches are labeled clearly and it was spotless! We want to stay again in the future!

    If you're looking for a truly special place to unwind, the Kentucky Cajun cabin is it!We had an absolutely awesome time sharing it with our family. It’s the definition of a cozy cabin escape.The atmosphere was so relaxing, and the property is stunning. The amenities were beautiful—you can tell a lot of care went into the details. We made some precious memories and can't wait for our next trip back!

    Kentucky Kajun was absolutely amazing!! The owner Cori was great from start to finish. We even had the opportunity to meet her and her husband . This property is just as the pictures you see online. Every detail is well thought out. You just need to bring the positive attitudes. The beds were comfy and so many beautiful blankets to snuggle up with which made it so nice at night while watching tv. The kitchen is well equipped with everything you need from spices to pots and pans. Oh and I can’t forget we were welcomed with some tasty goodies. If you have young children they are going to love this place. The outside was just as entertaining as the inside. The breath taking deck with large rocking chairs, fire pit, hot tub, and swings just really brought it all together. The view from the deck was phenomenal. We had an issue with a tv and Cori responded immediately and found out the tv had to be replaced and she and her husband went out of their way to go and purchase a new tv. We were so grateful because a big game was coming on. The men needed their tv and the women needed their tv. Again we spent some time talking to them and they are some of the nicest people. Thanks again Cori

The view of the lake was beautiful and peaceful throughout the week. Noise and traffic picked up with the start of the Labor Day weekend. Only downside was the yard was small with little space for outdoor activities.

    Wonderful place for the whole family to gather! We loved the layout of the house and the view from the deck. Definitely steep down to the lake— not recommended for young children or elderly— but we were well warned about the incline and knew before coming. Host was very informative and helpful with anything needed during our stay. Highly recommend!

    Great house and well appointed for larger gatherings with plenty of dishware etc. The house has almost everything you need (towels, TONS of games, bug spray, even candles for a birthday party) but bring a few extra rolls of tp, trash bags, and beach towels/water shoes if you think you may go to the lake for a swim (which we did). 10/10 great experience!

    We had a great time staying at the Kentucky Kajun. It served as a nice home base as family gathered to hang out and explore the area from Bowling Green to Mammoth cave. The home was as advertised. The host was responsive and kept us informed of expectations. It was also nice that they provided some basic amenities so we didn't need to rush out to get anything. Would happily stay here again.

    We enjoyed our time at the property! We were greeted with snacks and goodies upon arrival. The house is spacious and provides beautiful views of the lake. We enjoyed the fire pit (with plenty of firewood available), the hot tub and the downstairs gaming area. The beds, pillows and furniture are comfortable. The kitchen is ample-sized and provided most everything we needed - perhaps a few more measuring cups would be helpful. The waters edge is accessible for those that want the cardio of a fairly steep incline - there is a rope attached to trees to assist your ascent & descent. There are kayaks and life jackets available - we did not partake (still a bit too cold.) The location was fairly convenient - 45 minutes to Mammoth Cave NP or Bowling Green &15 minutes to Scottsville. Nearby Barren River State Park appeared to be mostly shut down. (Perhaps from flooding?) Also Bailey’s Point campground was also closed off and appeared to be in a state of disrepair. We did enjoy Saturday dinner with live music at Rusty’s Lakeside Pub and Sunday breakfast at Paradise Point nextdoor. Both provided good food and a fun environment. One suggestion: the setting sun was at times blinding while sitting in the living room for about an hour each evening - blinds/curtains would remedy that. But certainly it’s a small, momentary price to pay for the picturesque views the rest of the day. All in all, we would definitely recommend the Kentucky Kajun to anyone visiting the area.
