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

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 and 4 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.

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 (PlayStation 3 included).

Spring break

We had a fantastic time! The house was beautiful and plenty of room for all of us to spread out. Beds were very comfortable! We saw Mammoth Caves and Dinosaur World, had bonfires, fished, played games, and enjoyed family time together. The owners were wonderful to work with and provided plenty of amenities

Family Getaway

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.

Even in the winter, there was no shortage of things to do. The house was stocked with anything we would need and Cori was quick to respond all the way leading up to our visit. We walked away so happy and even the house was decorated for the Holidays and was so cozy. We are already planning our summer trip and looking forward to hanging in the water!

About the host

Hosted by Cori

Host profile image
In 2010, we traveled to Nashville, TN for our 20th anniversary. While there, we took a drive up to Kentucky Lake and spent the weekend. We fell in love with the rolling corn fields and the rocky knolls. Being “flat landers” from Louisiana, we were enamored by the old barns, clear bubbling creeks and the stunning sunsets. We bought a farm that very year!

After traveling to different counties and meeting new friends along the way, we started bringing spices and goodies from home. One of our good old boys from Lyon County, KY called us one day and asked, “when is our Kentucky Kajun family bringing us some treats?” Ever since then, the name stuck! When we saw this log home was available, we knew it was meant to be The Kentucky Kajun.

Now down the bayou we don’t grow tobacco, but we grow Tabasco. And we don’t have the Kentucky Downs, but in the swamp, we have crawfish towns, and we are sure honored you chose to stay with us. We hope we spiced up your vacation a bit with our cabin on the lake.

Why they chose this property

When we visit our cabin we enjoy fishing in the lake and many other activities. There is a nearby golf course, Mammoth Cave, The Corvette Museum, Hiking Trails, Distilleries, Nashville and many other attractions. See our Information Booklet when you arrive for any special area activities or deals.

Mostly we fell in love with the peacefulness of rural Kentucky.

What makes this property unique

Beautiful sunset views on the best bank of the lake, Bailey's Point
Last rent-able cabin on the point before the campground
You might find Kajun Spices in the cabinets!
Spread out rooms for privacy
Game room with Foosball, play station, Arcade and other treats
High chair for the little one, baby gate, pack-n-play
Hot tub with a view
