THE CEDAR SHAKE HOME
With a total renovation to this 2450 square foot home complete, it becomes the model for the optimum vacation experience in the area. Conveniently located only 13 miles from Murray State University. We do include Free WiFi.
Having the closest proximity and most gentle slope to the water of any rental home in the vicinity are not the only reasons it delivers such an unrivaled experience on the Lake. Outstanding features and an extraordinary location are factors contributing to its distinctive standing. Unlike the resorts and rental homes in crowded coves with heavy boat traffic to which so many visitors to Kentucky Lake have grown accustomed, here is a vast, wide open, peaceful vista across the main lake of the Land Between the Lakes.
The main deck is one of the outdoor spots to relax. From the branch of a surrounding tree a Bald Eagle may preside over a meal or casual break, he’s the perfect compliment to the awing view.
The options for stretching out in the sun or shade are right here - the deck is outfitted with comfortable chaises and dining tables. If the guests feel like relaxing even closer to the water, this home’s covered dock has a large swim platform perfect for taking in the view while soaking in some sun - It has an area for sitting in the shade.
The façade of this ideally positioned, traditional lake home is a perfect melding of Craftsman Style with Cedar Shake. Before even stepping inside one first senses its richness. The unparalleled view of the lake and warmth of the natural red cedar says welcome. The exterior accents of stained glass windows and lighting with complementing colors confirm the quality that signals the start of a very special time away for family and friends is about to begin.
Once inside it takes just a glance out of any of the numerous windows and doors for guests to know they have the ultimate vantage point. From the main deck, hand laid stone patio, and rooms on both levels, visitors find their attention drawn to the pristine blue water. It is so close that when rising in the morning, dining throughout the day, or just relaxing, one is struck by the familiarity of taking in the view from the balcony of a cruise ship. In reality this view is from a homey three bedroom, two and a half bath escape.
Upstairs is one of the home's two kitchens. Spacious, well equipped with a walk-in pantry, stainless appliances, granite counter tops, and an Italian tile floor. The kitchen joins the dining room with hardwood floors and a unique raised stone fireplace. The combination makes for a large friendly space where many great meals are enjoyed surrounded by walls of windows facing the lake.
Upstairs are two bedrooms with lake views. One with two full beds and another has a queen bed, private half bath and its own large sliding glass door with direct access to the deck and the soothing lake view. The primary bathroom on this level is striking with an eight-foot, modern, custom designed shower stall, entirely clad in marine blue tile. It has a built in bench, shower heads at both ends, body jets, and a large stained glass window created by a local artisan.
The downstairs is reached by a spiral staircase. Numerous windows ensure the lake continues to be the focus. The bedroom here features sliding glass doors with a direct prospect of the lake. Its occupants may choose to step out onto the patio sitting area or remain in the comfort of their bed to find themselves inspired by the captivating morning sunrise, promising the perfect start to the day. One wall with interior arts & crafts style stained glass windows adds a dramatic architectural detail. This accommodation has access to a walk-in closet with a front-loading washer and dryer, as well as a full bath.
The main living space looks out on the water – the smallest of needs have been considered and met here. An eight-foot granite bar and an additional full kitchen outfitted with cherry-wood cabinets and stainless appliances provide all of the tools needed to entertain on the lower level with ease - it is the backdrop to the living room. Furnished with a great arrangement of comfortable seating – here is an area ideal for a special reunion that will remain etched in the minds of all who attend.

Carefree waterfront living was the objective when the home's deluxe, covered dock was selected: Please note: Lake levels are Gov't controlled and may be lower during non peak seasons. Minimum 357ft. lake level required for boat rental.
The Fishing Possibilities at the dock are exceptional with a great population of bluegill, bass, crappie, and catfish.
As for the Access - Here there is no steep slope or long trek to your boat. Being only seventy feet away, step out the door and be on the dock in a minute or less.
Coverage and Quality are Redefined – Equipped with an attractive and highly functional hip roof, superior protection from the elements is ensured. Not only is the aluminum decking non-slip, but it is splinter free.
Then, there is the Relaxation & Recreation – If after a day out you return with the sense that exploring and playing on the lake can be both fun and hard work, here is the place to reflect on the day you have had and contemplate tomorrow’s plans. Having a 12x28 swim platform complete with a retractable ladder makes this the spot to share a fun and rejuvenating break lounging, sunbathing or swimming.
A Boat Rental on the Property: Is one more convenience, and can add hours to vacation time on Kentucky Lake. There is no drive to and from a marina to collect and return a boat. For a rental over multiple days how great it is to have the driving completely eliminated. Imagine instead the pleasure of a sunrise breakfast ending seamlessly with a stroll across the lawn to board the boat that awaits you at your private dock. Effortlessly, straight from the comfort of your home, a day on the lake begins...

Summary: The good: The pictures are accurate. The property is very wooded and private. The view from the top deck is wonderful. The kitchen was well stocked with kitchenware and gadgets. The dock was an easy walk from the home. The bad: There is no cell phone reception, and the internet connection isn’t that good. The property, and most of the areas around Kentucky Lake, is infested with ticks and should be treated. The lake water has the clarity of a glass of tea. There are a lot of geese, and you must navigate through the goose dropping minefield to get to the dock. During our stay, I let them know that the sink faucet broke and we would just use the other sink downstairs. They did not respond to my text. What I wish I knew/realized before booking: After booking, you receive a contract to sign with additional rules not mentioned on the website. Before your stay, you will get an email with additional guidelines and limitations. Ask for all the rules and limitations associated with the property prior to booking. Limited entertainment options outside of the lake, Planetarium, and Buffalo/Elk exhibit. The spiral staircase is very tight/tricky to maneuver. What I learned: VRBO are hit and miss. None of the reviews mention the poor cell reception or the tick problem. Never book a no-refund policy property until you review all the rules. VRBO’s are a gamble, are the reviews and pictures accurate? Are the owners control freaks? I’m sticking with national brands.

Summary: The home was the perfect vacation spot for our family! The main floor accommodated everyone at meals and provided the ideal spot for family games. The quiet downstairs worked well for those who wanted to read or watch tv. The decks had seating for everyone with a view that was hard to beat. We enjoyed our daily visit from a beautiful bald eagle. The dock worked great for those who enjoy fishing in the group. Seems there were a few big one that got away! The hosts were nearby in case of problems but everything was fine. With the exception of the intense heat of which the hosts had no control, we had a wonderful time!

Summary: What a great property. We had amazing fishing off the dock Pulled in a 8 poind cat, several 3 to 5 pound bass and massize dogear. Houae was perfect for our 6 guests. We loved the bar and the dock was perfect. Will rent agaian and get the boat next time. Stairs are a little tight and we wish there was a living room area upstairs but we loved it. Super clean, decorated perfectly and friendly owners made check in easy. We will be back.
