Modern amenities include Unlimited AT&T 1 GIG Fiber (up to 1,350 Mbps down / 1,350 Mbps up), 4 HDTVs (70", 65”, 50", 48") with free DirecTV Stream and many free video streaming channels including Disney+, Max, Hulu, Prime, washer and dryer, fire pit and a fully-equipped kitchen/700-sq.-ft. great room with 12.5 foot vaulted ceilings.

There is a large master bedroom suite with a separate shower and tub and double vanity sink.

This 2400-sq.-ft. home has 4 bedrooms plus a separate crib room in the large master bedroom closet (1 king bed, 4 queen beds, 1 full size / double bed, 2 single beds, 1 queen sleeper sofa, 2 cribs) 3 full baths, 2 car garage and will comfortably accommodate up to 16 people.

The triple-wide driveway (105 feet x 30 feet) and garage (28 feet x 21 feet) can accommodate over 10 vehicles and / or boats and has outdoor electric hook-ups.

The owner also has two other similar size rental lakehouses 100 yards away (VRBO #2145084 and #1035898) which can be rented in conjunction with this listing and can jointly accommodate 50 people for very large gatherings.

Picturesque Grand Rivers: Grand Rivers is located between 218,000-acre Kentucky Lake and Lake Barkley, the nation's largest man-made body of water. In 2009, Grand Rivers was named the 8th best small town in the South by Southern Living Magazine. The main entrance to 180,000 acre Land Between the Lakes National Recreation Area with 500 miles of hiking and biking trails is 1 mile from the lakehouse.

The cottage overlooks the Grand Rivers Walking Trail which runs under a large canopy of old growth hardwood beside the back part of Green Turtle Bay on Lake Barkley, which the locals refer to as Little Lake. Adjacent Little Lake Park offers a newly constructed children’s playground, free Saturday night concerts in the summer with live bands, and periodic outdoor festivals.

The cottage is a short walk to everything in Grand Rivers including Green Turtle Bay Marina & Lighthouse Landing Sailboat Marina (where motor boat, jet ski and sailboat rentals are available), Patti’s 1880s Settlement, the Branson-style Badget Village Playhouse Theater, Village Market & Café grocery store, Village Liquors, antique and other retail stores and much more.

Perfect location and big house

The owner was super helpful from the very beginning and continued to be through the stay. The house was so spacious and has a lot of open space for a large family or group. We had 10 people and there was more than enough room to do games together but also spread out when we needed space. I highly recommend this place, location and owner!

Nice property- Fantastic owner!

This is our 5th time renting from this owner. He will do everything in his power to make your stay great. The property is well maintained and slept 12 adults comfortably. The bedroom in the basement has multiple beds. Be aware this room is much cooler than the upstairs temperature. It wasn’t that big of a deal to us. Just assign your beds with that in mind. We were there in February when outside temperatures were about 40You won’t be disappointed with this property..

Beautiful setting and nice home!

Loved the location! Just a short walk to a small lake and park with playground and just a bit longer and you are in town. Nice grocery store close by. We loved the open floor plan for lots of family time. The only down side was that it was a little more difficult to park our larger boat and trailer because the driveway is steep and the entrance road a bit narrow. Other than that, it was the perfect place for our family of 8 adults to enjoy 😊

Family Getaway

We come to Grand Rivers every year during the Christmas season. We are a family of 15 ranging in age from 2 - 61. We take the grandchildren to Patti’s to visit Santa and see the lights. We shop, go to area restaurants, and like to hangout together and watch movies and play games. The overall experience was good;however, there are some things that need fixed or improved. The showers in both upstairs bathrooms drip continuously, the carpet on the stairs needs to be replaced, pillows are very flat, sheets were very wrinkled, maybe upgrade linens and towels, and the whole place could use a fresh coat of paint. While the downstairs area is very large, the space could be arranged better for those young at heart.

About the host

Hosted by Todd Thomason

Host profile image
I am the owner and developer of Little Lake Village subdivision in Grand Rivers, Kentucky. I also developed nearby Marina Village Condos.

While I live in St. Louis with my wife and 2 daughters, I am a native of Western Kentucky and grew up bass fishing on Kentucky-Barkley Lake and duck hunting nearby.

Many of my relatives are originally from and still live in the immediate area in and around Grand Rivers, so the location has special meaning to me and the whole Thomason family.

Why they chose this property

I strongly prefer Grand Rivers as the small-town atmosphere and location on both lakes makes me feel like I am on vacation with most amenities that I need within walking distance of the lakehouse (several restaurants including 500 seat Patti's, T Lawson's Saloon, Cabin Pizza, antique shops, Branson style theater, grocery, bank, ice cream shop, boat rental, $1 million walking trail connecting both lakes, golf cart rental, golf carts are legal to be driven on public streets in Grand Rivers, park, summer concerts, etc.).

My idea of relaxation and vacation is being at the lake with many activities to choose from both on the lake and off of the lake.

Grand Rivers truly offers more to do and options than anywhere else on either Kentucky Lake or Lake Barkley in my opinion.

What makes this property unique

This lakehouse is my largest personal vacation property on on 2 levels and has many developer upgraded features including 2 ensuite style bedrooms, 12.5 foot vaulted ceiling, lots of windows, lots of trees and a beautiful covered porch. My lakehouse is perfect for 3 or 4 families / extended families with lots of kids. I upgraded my lakehouse during COVID and have gone to great lengths to maximize cleanliness for my guests being located in the small town of Grand Rivers that has many basic services without all of the crowds.
