Sunset Cottage at Lake Barkley is a beautifully renovated, 4 bedroom 4 bath waterfront rental home in a quiet cove near Lake Barkley Lodge and Marina. The home has been professionally decorated, with attention to detail to make your stay relaxing and memorable.

Sunset Cottage will accommodate multi-family and friend gatherings and reunions, as it has beds for 12 but will sleep up to 14 people. The kitchen has new stainless appliances, and is fully stocked for families who enjoy cooking. A propane gas grill is also provided. The eat-in kitchen provides a large island that seats 8. A spacious deck has a dining table for 8 and beautiful outdoor wicker furniture. A screened-in porch on the lower level provides a dining table for 6 and wicker furniture to seat an additional 9 people.

The property has a gently sloped yard that leads to a private covered dock and 2 jet ski pads. Guests are invited to use the perimeter of the private dock during the summer months as the owner's boat occupies the covered lift. Ropes and bumpers are provided. A fire pit near the water's edge provides the perfect opportunity for roasting marshmallows and hot dogs, or just relaxing and making memories with family and friends.

Sunset Cottage is located in the popular Little River area of Lake Barkley, with Sandy Beach just across the bay. Enjoy your morning coffee while watching the deer play at the water's edge, or catch a glimpse of the famous Bald Eagles and Great White Pelicans as they soar across the lake.

Two kayaks are provided for guests who would like to explore the tranquil area by water.

The home's loft is the ideal space for a family with kids. It has a king-size bed and 2 twin beds with trundles to accommodate 2 additional persons. The loft includes a full private bath, and a 36 inch Smart TV. Additional Smart TV's are equipped with YouTube TV in the Master Bedroom (42 inch) and Lower Level Family Room (55 inch). The Lower Level Blue Bedroom has a 32 inch flat screen TV with YouTube TV. Ample parking space is provided with driveways on both sides of the home, and includes a carport.

The Rivers End boat ramp is conveniently located just down the street from the entrance of our subdivision, Parkview Shores (approx 1/2 mile).

    We enjoyed the property so much we never went off site! Exceeded our expectations. It’s called Sunset Cottage for good reason. Mild winter weather, gorgeous foggy mornings, water fowl aplenty, fabulous lake views and canoe adventures--an unforgettable, amazing family holiday.

    Wonderful place to stay. The view is wonderful. Sat by the fire and watched the sunset. We took our mom for her 89th birthday.

    Our family of 6 (grandparents, parents, kids - 9 & 12) really enjoyed our stay! We like spending a few days at a lake during fall break each year. Our usual place was booked and we were lucky enough to find this beautiful property! It checked all our box's. The fishing was exciting, we reeled in some of the biggest fish we've ever cought (lake or inshore fishing the gulf). The areas we kayaked to and explored were also exciting. The property is beautiful, the house is cozy, well decorated, the bathroom's and bedrooms are very nice, the bed linens were clean and comfortable. The screened in porch and fire pit we're awesome! We were very happy with the accomodations and will be back in the future.

    The location of the home was great. We enjoyed fishing, the beautiful lake and serenity. Wildlife especially the deer. The house was really nice and we really enjoyed sitting in the enclosed porch downstairs in the afternoon. We would highly recommend this place.

    We have stayed in several VRBO properties at Lake Barkley, and this one was our favorite! We had four couples, and each of us had our own bedroom and bathroom. The lake access and private dock were perfect for us, and the driveway was spacious enough for our boat trailer. Great stay!

    We highly recommend this beautiful home. This was our second time at this home. We enjoyed the deck and the screen room. We rented a pontoon boat for the week at Lake Barkley Marina. We had a blast in the water. Grandson caught his first catfish. Wonderful memories made. We will be back!

    We stayed as a family (of 8) in this beautiful lake house as the start of our family vacation. The house is beautifully updated, with lots of space for our family. Double washer and dryers, plenty of games, comfortable linens, large spa-like showers, easy lake access, etc. the kids really enjoyed using the provided kayaks, and we enjoyed grilling steaks out on the deck. We kept a nice fire going outside down by the lake, and really enjoyed the beautiful view. We would definitely stay here again!

    The layout of this home is perfect for kids, parents and grandparents. We stayed for 4 nights during a very rainy week, but had plenty of room to spread out on different levels. Loved having a bathroom linked with each bedroom. We cooked most of our meals at the house and found all the supplies we needed - even a crockpot.The location is great for exploring the Land Between the Lakes. Loved the Homeplace 1850's Working Farm and Nature Center. Would definitely stay here again!

    Property is exactly as expected. Only concern which was mentioned to the owner already is Down Pillows (feather) for those with feather allergies. Home was clean. View was great. Parking is easy.

    The home was lovely inside and out. Even though it rained all weekend the views were spectacular from every level of the home. The kitchen island was perfect for everyone to sit around and have meals and play games, and the screened in porch was great for hanging out in the evening.

    This house is beautiful, and the location is serene, with deer wandering through the yard throughout the day. We had 8 people stay in the house, and we could have fit more without feeling cramped at all. The house was clean, and the kayaks, screened-in patio, and lounge area down by the water really made our weekend.

    Super easy to find. Incredible views. Very nice updated & spacious house. Enough comfortable sleeping space. Easy access, and safe, to lake. Rented a boat for a day, rode to house to get everyone. Great fun!! Elk & Bison Reserve fun for an hour. Inside house areas nice, and just enough for the possible rainy day. Glad we went!! Mike is very attentive and friendly.

    Great house. The deck and screened room was perfect for our family. We rented a pontoon boat for the week and was able to tie it to the owner's peer. Kitchen gave four cooks plenty of room to create delicious meals all week. Most certainly will return.

    This house is very nice but it is not big enough for 16 people which is how it was listed. Really 12 would be perfect. Not enough space to even pull out the trundle beds and couldn’t find any sheets for them. But overall we still had a wonderful time just very crowded. The outdoor space is great!

    Very nice Lake house. Our family really enjoyed their time on the water with their jet skis, fishing & boat rides. We also sat around the fire pit & roasted some marshmallows : Also enjoyed just relaxing & watching the Beautiful sunsets and deer running through the yard.
