Have a blast in the game room with pool table, 2-player arcade with 4,500 games, and more indoor/outdoor games. Make memories around the firepit! 3 included Kayaks at your dock!
We offer on-site boat and jet ski rentals during the months from April 15 - September 15
Step into The View’s upstairs living room via convenient keyless entry and go claim your bedroom from your choice of five bedrooms!
Discover spacious Bedroom 1 upstairs with its king bed flanked by bedside tables with drawers and lamps. Wind down to sleep watching the 43” TCL ROKU smart TV. Store your belongings in two dressers, a closet, and a luggage rack. You’ll find a seating area for two for reading and dressing, along with direct access through sliders to the deck and its magnificent view of the lake. Enjoy the warmth and ambience of the electric fireplace and carpeting to greet your toes on chilly mornings. You’ll love the convenience of the ensuite bathroom with tub/shower combo and all bathroom essentials, such as towels, toiletries, and hair dryer.
Both kids and adults will love the Upstairs Bunkroom with two twin-over-full bunk beds. You’ll have a closet for storage, along with a large beanbag chair and a view of the lake.
Downstairs, you’ll find the Downstairs Bunkroom with its queen bunk beds. Bedside tables with lamps flank the bunk, and you can directly access the deck through sliders. Storage is in the form of a closet and built-in dresser.
Also downstairs, discover Bedroom 4 with queen bed, deck access, bedside tables with drawers and lamps, and for storage, a closet.
Bedroom 5, downstairs, offers a queen bed, bedside tables with drawers and lamps, and a closet for storage.
Should you need to accommodate additional sleeping needs, the living-room sofa converts to a bed, and a futon is available in the game room.

In the evening, laugh, tell stories, and make memories around the firepit with plentiful Adirondack chairs. You’ll find the firepit especially safe, set on an isolated promontory with gravel surface and illuminated with quaint streetlamp-style lights.
Best of all, you have exclusive access to the lake via your private dock with swim ladder, where you can swim, and fish for plentiful bass, crappie, bluegill, and catfish. You can also picnic here on the supplied table. - NOTE: Due to Kentucky Lake having a winter pool from 9/15 to 4/15, water levels may be too low for dockage during this time
Back inside, have a blast in the downstairs game room with pool table, 2-player arcade console with 4,500 games, and a checker/chess coffee table that opens up to reveal many more games such as card games and Jenga.

Beyond 5 Stars
Everything about our stay from beginning to end was amazing. Hospitality and helpfulness from our host was above and beyond. The house was very clean and so well stocked with essentials. The beds were all very comfortable. We had 19 and an infant but with the great layout,the beautiful fire pit area and huge screened porch we had plenty of space. The dining table and screened in porch table off the kitchen gave us room for everyone to sit down for meals together. The private dock was great to swim off of and even came with umbrella tables to get in the Shade for a break. We rented the owners pontoon boat one day to explore the lake and do some tubing and another day rented a jet ski. That made it so convenient. With permission we had a beautiful place for 4th of July fireworks over the lake. The only complaint any of us had was that it wasn’t a long enough trip. We would love to bring our group to stay again and we are telling friends and family what a great place it is to have some lake fun.

“The View” was a wonderful stay for all 16 of us. We celebrated 3 birthdays and had lots of time on the water. The host was very helpful and provided us with a pontoon boat (extra cost) and suggestions of where to go on the lake. The kitchen was well-stocked for our large group. Walmart and other grocery are only 23 min away and will do delivery, if needed. The kids will have wonderful memories of this vacation! Thank you!
