Cottage vacation rentals in Lake Barkley

Such a lovely place to stay! Will definitely be back.

We absolutely LOVED our stay in Dover and the cottage was to die for. It was beautiful, especially when the snow came. Everything inside was so nice and cozy, i felt at home as soon as i opened the door. Dana was a lovely host and helped us with many complications (aka i got lost bc i can’t follow directions and she guided us there) and everything was perfect. the hot tub was definitely a star on this trip. It is so secluded and absolutely perfect for a couples getaway. Thank you to Dana and the Evolve team for the best weekend and such a wonderful price.

Very nice weekend getaway destination. There is infact no hotub outside.

This lakeside getaway was absolutely perfect! The hosts thought of everything, making our stay effortless and enjoyable. The home was spotless, cozy, and beautifully decorated, with stunning lake views. They went above and beyond by providing breakfast essentials like pancake mix, coffee, and even s’mores supplies for the fire pit. The beds were super comfortable, and the house was stocked with games, books, and extra toiletries. Outside, we enjoyed the hottub, fishing and relaxing by the fire with plenty of seating and firewood. The thoughtful touches, like a welcome note and local recommendations, made us feel so cared for. It’s the ideal getaway for relaxation or family fun—highly recommend!

I spent a weekend, and was amazed at how peaceful it was. I am already planning a return for next year, and hopefully I will have more time.

Amazing weekend getaway! Beautiful and safe area, and a lovely place to stay!

Excellent place very roomy would definitely stay again

We had a lovely stay with our pup! The location was beautiful and close to some great hiking. I loved how clean the cottage was; not a speck of dust in site! The bed was super comfortable and I loved the general vibe/decor and use of space. We saw some wildlife in the neighborhood as well! Kelly was super responsive and professional, and we really appreciated the detailed visitor guide provided to us upon booking. It helped us plan our activities and find some great restaurants. Highly recommend staying here if you’re looking for a peaceful, cozy getaway close to nature!

Great hosts! I even left something expensive behind and they were quick to let me know!

The house was very cozy and a great place to relax!!!

The accommodation was just as I had expected, and the facilities were superbly maintained. I had a peaceful and comfortable vacation.

We had a great stay. Cabin was clean and quiet. Tony was very helpful and answered all my questions! Very kind and friendly. Definitely planning to come back with my husband who will LOVE fishing here!

At first I was taken back bc the property and cabins weren’t what I was expecting, even tho the pictures are exactly accurate! (It was a “my brain” kinda disconnect.) Tony couldn’t have been more pleasant and friendly. He was filled with information about the lake, where to go, and what to eat. I wasn’t able to take advantage of the area because I was there for a conference. The little cabins are very much “hunting & fishing” cabins. They are small and very minimalist. But ours was super clean, with the most fresh smelling towels & bed linens. The bathroom was spotless too. I definitely recommend it and would happily stay here again.

We really enjoyed our stay. We ended up arriving earlier than expected and was able to check in early. Kelsi was very responsive and friendly. Location was perfect. You can see the lake from the house and it’s a very short walk. The location is close to many things and there was always something to do. Definitely recommend!

Great place and the host was great. Definitely would book again.

Lovely place to stay! Highly recommend, Kim goes over and above to make you feel welcome with many extras such as a small milk in the fridge and small boxes of cereal/packages of oatmeal! I wish we had gotten there earlier when it wasn’t dark & raining because the property was peaceful and it would have been nice to sit outside and enjoy it! Thank you so much for making us feel at home!

I can't say enough about our great experience at Ron and Kathy's! The place is exactly as described, warm and welcoming. Everything was very clean and the bed was very comfortable. We enjoyed sitting on the screen porch listening to the birds and the water lapping at the shore. We also had a campfire one night and watched the sunset. If you need some peaceful and quiet days this is the place for you! Ron and Kathy were so friendly and helpful with local fishing recommendations. 😊 We would definitely stay here again!
