Driftwood Retreat | Lakefront Cottage + Screened Hot Tub + Kayaks

Welcome to Driftwood Retreat, a cozy lakefront cottage on Kentucky Lake at Warners Paradise—perfect for families, couples, and friends who want an easy getaway with water views, s’mores nights, and a relaxing hot tub rain or shine.

Start your mornings with coffee on the deck, spend afternoons on the lake (kayaks included!), and end the day soaking in the screened-porch hot tub with ceiling fans and Bluetooth. When the sun goes down, gather around the firepit (firewood provided) for stories and s’mores.

Why guests love Driftwood Retreat

Propane grill (propane provided)

Great year-round (especially off-season)

Exactly what I wanted

Such a great place to stay. The owner was amazing to work with. Response time was always within minutes. The cottage was spacious and comfortable. We rented a jet ski for a day and had a blast! The cove is quiet, calm, and relaxing. We spent most of our time just floating near the dock. In the evening, we would roast marshmallows by the fire and play games. My kids from 19-11yrs had the best time and are already asking about a return trip.

Cabin was perfect and well equipped (the host even left stuff for s’mores and pancakes)! It was great having the privacy of the lake cove. Highly recommend taking advantage of the jet skis and boat, so much fun! The host was wonderful, communicated well and was super helpful! We will be back!!

Beautiful views and very relaxing

My husband and I wanted to enjoy a quick, quiet, and private weekend getaway, the cottage definitely did not disappoint. The property is secluded, the wildlife are abundant, and the bed was super cozy. I would recommend this property to anyone wanting to enjoy a quiet lake trip. The owners left snacks, checkin was easy and outside lights were left on for our after dark arrival!

Great lake house vacation

We had a very relaxing stay at the lake house. The fishing was great, and we made lots of use of the kayaks and canoe. The house was very clean, and all the furniture was comfortable. We would definitely stay again!

Amazing!

This place has it all! Relax, play, swim,enjoy. The details the owners have thought about - amenities galore. We had the best time on the sea doos (three adult children with us), kayaks, and lilly pad. Plenty of life jackets, too! Even fishing rods available if that’s your thing. Up to date appliances and the house was super clean. Enjoyed the hot tub. A raccoon came for visits at night and we watched the deer while having the morning coffee (provided) on the deck. We will definitely come back!

Another Stellar Stay

This is my second stay at this property in the last nine months. The first was last August and the second last week. The entire experience the first time is what made me a repeat customer. Suffice it to say the second stay exceeded the first. The boat upgrade is a big plus. Easier to accommodate a group. The flexibility and attention to detail of this host is second to none. Check this lake house out.

Awesome Getaway Property

The house is well stocked. The whole property is absolutely beautiful! Its secluded, having the dock to yourself was great. The cove is quiet. Getting down to the dock worked out perfect for someone with a handicap. You can drive right up to the walkout for the dock. This was my dads bucket trip and it was exactly what he was looking for. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay!!! Highly recommend this place!

Peaceful paradise!

Zero issues. Great hospitity Hosts were easily available for any questiion. Property way better than expected. So clean and comfortable. Bed was more comfy than our beloved Sleep Number bed at home. Scenery is great. So many cool birds to see. Lots of peace and fun. Loved the hot tub. Clean and everything worked just right. So glad we came! Perfect blend of isolation in nature and awesome TV, WIFI, and hot tub with built in Bluetooth speakers. Wish we had book for longer. Thank you!

Absolutely stellar property. The availability of boat and Sea Doo rental is a huge plus. Kentucky Lake is a beautiful body of water. The hosts are ultra responsive and truly desire a 5 star experience for their guests. I have referred it to friends and co workers and will be going back next year. Highly recommend

Amazing!

The house was perfect for the 8 of us. We loved the deck and screened in patio. The hot tub is really nice, we didn’t use it much, as it was 100 degrees everyday that we were there. The dock was very nice and spacious. The hosts were very responsive for any needs that we have. We won’t stay anywhere else on Kentucky Lake again. We will be back!

Beautiful lake house

Our family enjoyed all the amenities of being on Kentucky lake. We relaxed in the hot tub, fished off the dock, and explored on the kayaks. Everyone was comfortable and we had everything we needed. The hosts were friendly and very responsive even when we wanted to rent jet skis at the last minute. We brought our own pontoon boat and it was so nice to have the covered dock and close by marinas for gas and bait. The hosts were very helpful with info on where we could launch our boat as well.
