Here Are a Few Kind Words from our Past Guests:

Everything about our stay at Rachel’s lakehouse was wonderful. Beautiful scenery, ideal location to the Ark and Creation Museum. Extremely kind and responsive host. A warm and inviting home. We loved it.

My family and extended family had a great time staying at The Kentucky Lake house for our weekend visit. Beautiful views and cozy furnishings, with plenty of sleeping options. It was wonderful to have a fully equipped kitchen for cooking dinners and easy breakfasts. Our host went above and beyond to make sure we had everything we needed. We really appreciated that it was pet friendly too. Would definitely recommend to others

Absolutely love this place! Super cute, quiet, and relaxing. Just what I needed

Guests will have private and exclusive access to the entire home and its amenities.

This includes:
- The entire house
- Garage and driveway for parking
- Private dock on the lake
- Use of our kayaks to explore the water

We simply ask that you respect our neighbors and refrain from entering their properties.

We are committed to ensuring you have a comfortable and memorable stay. While we respect your privacy and will not be present during your visit, we are always available via the platform or phone should you need any assistance or have questions.

Lake Use: Although Bullock Pen Lake has safe water, it is not a swimming lake. You are welcome to use our kayaks or bring your own boat for fishing and cruising.

Parking Restrictions: We are not able to accommodate RVs or campers on the property, as there is no space or hookup available. If you're traveling with an RV we're happy to suggest nearby parking or RV parks.

Driveway: There is ample space for parking multiple vehicles and outdoor use. Please note the driveway is steep, so smaller vehicles should proceed with caution when entering or exiting. It can be slippery in winter conditions; we do our best to clear it as quickly as possible. During extreme snowfall, the owner can provide alternate parking arrangements nearby. Please note there is no street parking available.

Lakeside access: The driveway and access to the home are fully accessible. The steps down to the water are uneven but fully usable. Guests with mobility limitations may find the walk to the lake challenging; however, the beautiful lakeside views can be enjoyed directly from the home. The dock is an older structure with a rustic character and is functional for guest use, but it may require extra care. Guests should use caution when entering, exiting, and enjoying the waterfront area.

Booking Requirement: Per platform policy and local regulations, guests must provide contact information and sign our rental agreement within 24 hours of booking. Failure to do so may result in cancellation per the standard policy.

Wi-Fi Access: Our free Wi-Fi requires an email entry to log on; contact confirmation is optional.

Maintenance: From time to time, lawn care, landscaping, or other routine maintenance may need to be completed during your stay if it cannot be scheduled between guests. We will provide advance notice whenever possible, but this may not always be feasible. Maintenance personnel may be on the property, but no one will enter the home without your permission, except in the event of an emergency.

    Good location on the edge of a lake, for fishing and kayaking. Liked the retro style interior decor.

    This was truly a little slice of paradise! From the location to the uber comfy bed to all the thoughtful amenities…it was, hands down the best Vrbo we’ve EVER stayed at!! We were sad to leave and could have stayed another week. It’s also in a terrific location for visiting the Ark and the Creation Museum!! We will definitely book this amazing place again!

    Everything was just amazing - the house was clean, comfortable and cute! We loved our stay and our time in KY. Rachel was an amazing host. We enjoyed getting our coffee and sitting out on the porch. Thank you!

    The house was cute, good size for 5 to 6 people. The lake was peaceful, we enjoyed kayaking and the firepit. It was conveniently located between the Ark Encounter and the Creation Museum.

    Beautiful property and very responsive owners. We did have an issue with the wifi (no real cell service so needed wifi in case of emergencies) but our hosts took care of it as promptly as possible. Beds and pillows were really hard so I spent a night on the couch and the outside could use better lighting. Its on a timer so you have no control of front porch light. So once its out... its very dark. Which was a little disappointing because I like to get up really early and read my Bible on the porch and watch sunrise or sit and relax at night a bit after everyone has gone to bed and its quiet. Other than those few things everything else was great. I would definitely stay here again... would just need to bring a memory foam pad for the bed but some may prefer a really firm mattress. It was very clean and has everything you need. I wpuld recommend this place. Quiet neighborhood with friendly people!

    Excellent location! Close to the Ark and Creation Museum. Being on the river with use of kayaks a huge plus. We were able to visit local attractions, cook evening meals with a kitchen stocked with cooking essentials and enjoy sitting on the porch or fishing the river. Was perfect for our family of 5 and 2 small dogs. I would 100% stay here again!
