Gorgeous patio!

My family of 4 adults spent most of our time on the gorgeous screened in patio with swinging bed. We cooked meals in the nicely stocked modern kitchen and ate outside. Nice location for days trips to several places we were interested in: bourbon tour, cave tour & Corvette museum. Wheelchair accessible lodging is hard to find & Blue Cat Lakehouse was perfect for us.

Time at the Lake

Cabin was very clean and really enjoyed the back screened in area with dining area and swinging bed/ couch. Really had a large time kicking back listening to the boat traffic and visiting with friends and having some great meals. Would highly recommend to everyone wanting a relaxing time at Barren River!

Spring break getaway

Our family stayed at the Blue Cat while visiting Mammoth Cave and the Corvette Museum. The setting in the countryside was peaceful with a nice view of the lake! The house was laid out well for our group of six. Beds are comfortable and the master bath was super nice. The screened porch is awesome with the big swing. The house is clean and cheerful. Highly recommend!

Glasgow High Class of ‘88 girls weekend

This is our 2nd year staying at TBCLH and we love it!! Booking and check in are easy. The owners are very accommodating and quick to respond to messages before and during our stay. The lake house is absolutely gorgeous and extremely clean!! The kitchen is stocked, including regular cook maker and Keurig! The view from the screened in porch has a fabulous view of the lake! Our group decided that TBCLH will be our gathering place from now on! If we could give it 10 stars, we would!! Book it, you won’t be sorry!!

The cutest cabin!

This cabin is absolutely adorable! The kitchen is a dream. It was super clean and well maintained. The beds were soft and the kids on our trip appreciated the bunks. We all loved the screened in deck and the swing bed is amazing. If you’re looking for something a step above the rest, this is it! The host communicated with us well and was very helpful.

Beautiful Lakehouse

We thoroughly enjoyed this house. It was clean and so beautifully maintained. Enjoyed the screened in porch the most. Was one of the few places we could find with room to park our pontoon. The host reponded quickly when we could not get the door unlocked. There was plenty of room for 2 couples and 3 kids. We will definitely be back

A comfort stay

10 of us stayed at this location. Was very clean and comfort of staying there. We were there for a business trip. When the wind picked up and was dropping trees all around the area. The power went off for a few hours, but was back up. We all felt very safe waiting out the storm. Barren River lake Lodge was out of power for the 3 day. That was where our meeting was to be held so we felt blessed staying at this cozy home. Looking forward to staying there again next year.

Christmas Getaway

We were looking for a place to enjoy a few days vacation between Christmas and New Years. Our original rental was all booked, but then cancelled at the last minute due to water damage. I found the Blue Cat was available and boy did it work perfect for us. The ease of booking, communication with the owner, the layout of the home, the view, the cleanliness of the entire place, every detail was as we needed. It was quiet, off the beaten path, but still close enough to the caves and other activities we wanted. I strongly recommend this home to any family looking for a clean, comfortable Barren River vacation rental.

Perfection

Our family had an absolutely wonderful stay at the Blue Cat. We enjoyed relaxation at its finest, from swinging on the porch with morning coffee listening to the birds sing, to magnificent evening dinner sunsets. We cannot say enough about how beautiful, clean, and comfortable the Blue Cat is. Kitchen is well equipped, we cooked most of our stay and felt we had everything we needed. The beds are exceptionally comfortable. Our kids enjoyed the basement area and we had many nights of ping pong tournaments. We enjoyed the peacefulness of the surrounding area. Our family spent afternoons fishing at the community dock and enjoying the refreshing water in the cove. Our hosts were extremely responsive to any questions or concerns we had. We would highly recommend this property to anyone visiting this area!

About the host

Hosted by Blue Cat Properties

Host profile image

Why they chose this property

The Blue Cat is conveniently located near Bailey’s Point on one of the best views of the lake that is beautiful year round. The house is also within a short driving distance to the State Park, Peninsula, and Port Oliver Docks and Marinas making it an exceptionally convenient place to stay on the lake.

What makes this property unique

The Blue Cat Lakehouse was purposefully designed to provide several unique things for its guests. First, each bedroom has its own view of the lake as well as the main living room areas. Second, the main floor of the house is designed to be accessible to people with mobility difficulties; meaning there are no stairs to enter the property, wide doorways, handles in the master bathroom, and minor bumps to enter the home, get onto the deck, or in the shower. Finally, we wanted to provide some luxury for guests by designing a luxe master bathroom with a rainfall shower head, a spectacular view with large floor to ceiling sliding doors, a cool spot to hang out on the patio with a bed swing, and ultra soft beds.
