The cabin is newly furnished and extra cozy. It's well equipped with lightning fast fiber optic WIFI, Smart TV, a full kitchen, coffee bar, and an extra-long dining table. All beds are brand new and all linens are white. Outside you'll find the hot tub, firepit, and lots of rocking chairs and seating options.

There is a ping-pong table, corn hole boards, mini air-hockey table, old time record player, TV with video games and a DVD player with movies in the garage. Great spot for kids or to flip open the garage doors on a nice day and enjoy time with family and friends. You will also find an old-timey, hand crank, ice cream maker for your use.

Outdoors, there are lots of relaxing options from the covered porch, outdoor breakfast table, rocking chairs, and firepit. And, don't forget the hot tub!

There are several marinas who rent by the hour or day. The Shady Pine is located 1.5 miles from Browns Ford boat ramp. Plenty of parking and trailer storage.

We have two, adult-size KAYAKS for your use during boating season (April 15-Oct 15). We will also provide (2) adult-size life jackets,(2) child-size life jackets, and oars.

**Please note: Our walkway to the cove is 120 steps down to the boardwalk that leads to the dock. May be difficult for small children or some older people to manage.

Cove Conditions:
Please Note: Barren River Lake is at summer pool April 15-Oct 15. Our cove varies in depth during this time from 3' to 30' depending on how much rain we get and the Corp of Engineers. We are at the lower/fishing end of the lake, always good for kayaking during summer pool.

Our cove could be dry during Oct 15-March 15. But, still a great atmosphere and plenty of nature to explore.

Wonderful Fall Break
It was beautiful, clean, the “extras” of s’mores, fire pit materials, hot tub towels, the bin full of personal care items commonly left at home were above and beyond any VRBO we have ever stayed in. Thank you to our hospitable hosts and we will be visiting again!

Great House in the woods
The house is beautiful. The surrounding area is beautiful. The house is well stocked so everything you need, was very peaceful. We walked down to the lake and the garage/basement with all the games and things in it was an amazing asset. We had a wonderful time.

60th Birthday Celebration
The house, deck, porch and property were wonderful and tastefully decorated and landscaped. It was so relaxing and had everything we needed down to comfy pillows and top quality bedding. It is quite a climb to go fishing but managable. There were 3 couples, we felt right at home and had a WONDERFUL time. We made great memories with great friends!!

Beautiful cabin, fully stocked and all the amenities, very well kept and decorated. My family enjoyed the hot tub, walking down the boardwalk to the cove, and proximity to our tours. Perfect stay for visiting Mammoth Cave NP, Kentucky Down Under and the National Corvette Museum.

The property was beautiful. The house was immaculate and had everything you would need. The owners were very helpful and knowledgeable about the area. The house is a little off the beaten path, but perfect for our stay.

Mammoth cave spring break
Very cute, well stocked with plenty of activities to keep a group happy. Bedding and towels were very nice. Plenty of kitchen cookwear and dishes so you don’t have to run the dishwasher after every meal! Nice cabin atmosphere but you do have some neighbors that seem to be part time. Great rental!

We’ve stayed here twice and love this property! Beautiful scenery, well stocked kitchen, and lots of thoughtful little touches everywhere. Our kids love exploring in the woods and down by the water, and when they are tired of nature they love the game room downstairs.
