"Everything about our stay at Rachel’s lakehouse was wonderful. Beautiful scenery, ideal location to the Ark and Creation Museum. Extremely kind and responsive host. A warm and inviting home. We loved it."
"My family and extended family had a great time staying at The Kentucky Lake house for our weekend visit. Beautiful views and cozy furnishings, with plenty of sleeping options. It was wonderful to have a fully equipped kitchen for cooking dinners and easy breakfasts. Our host went above and beyond to make sure we had everything we needed. We really appreciated that it was pet friendly too. Would definitely recommend to others"

Guests will have private and exclusive access to the entire home and its amenities.
This includes:
- The entire house
- Garage and driveway for parking
- Private dock on the lake
- Use of our kayaks to explore the water
We simply ask that you respect our neighbors and refrain from entering their properties.
We are committed to ensuring you have a comfortable and memorable stay. While we respect your privacy and will not be present during your visit, we are always available via the platform or phone should you need any assistance or have questions.
Lake Use
Although Bullock Pen Lake has safe water, swimming is not permitted from our property. Please respect the posted no-swimming sign.
You are welcome to use our kayaks or bring your own boat for fishing and cruising. Please be aware of the lake's boating regulations: motorized boats with engines greater than 10 horsepower must operate at idle speed at all times. Boats with engines of 10 horsepower or less are not subject to this particular restriction. All boats must follow applicable Kentucky boating regulations.
Life jackets are provided and must be worn whenever using our kayaks. Children must be supervised by an adult at all times around the water.
Parking Restrictions
We are not able to accommodate RVs or campers on the property, as there is no space or hookup available. We're happy to suggest nearby parking or RV parks.
Driveway
There is ample space for parking multiple vehicles and outdoor use. Please note the driveway is steep, so smaller and lower-clearance vehicles should proceed with caution when entering or exiting. Low-riding vehicles may need to park elsewhere.
The driveway can be slippery in winter conditions. We do our best to clear it as quickly as possible. During extreme snowfall, the owner can provide alternate parking arrangements nearby. Please note there is no street parking available.
Lakeside Access
The driveway and access to the home are fully accessible. Please be aware that the stairs leading down to the water are uneven. Guests use these stairs at their own risk and should exercise caution, particularly in wet or slippery conditions.
Guests with mobility limitations may find the walk to the lake challenging; however, the beautiful lakeside views can be enjoyed directly from the home.
The dock is an older structure with a rustic character and is available for guest use. It may move underfoot, as floating docks naturally do. Please use caution when entering and exiting the dock and while enjoying the waterfront area.
Restricted Property Area
The area behind the driveway, including the elevated ground and retaining wall, is private property and is not accessible to guests. For everyone's safety, please do not enter or access this area. Children should be supervised at all times around the property's outdoor areas.
Fire Pit
The outdoor fire pit is available for guest use. Please use caution when building and tending fires, keep children supervised and maintain a safe distance from the flames. Ensure the fire is completely extinguished after use.
A fire extinguisher is located inside the house and should be used in the event of an emergency. Please observe any applicable local fire bans or restrictions.
Kayak Use
Kayaks are provided for guest enjoyment. Life jackets are available at the property and must be worn whenever using the kayaks. Children must be supervised by an adult. Please use caution and do not use the kayaks during unsafe weather or water conditions.
Booking Requirement
Per platform policy and local regulations, guests must provide contact information and sign our rental agreement within 24 hours of booking. Failure to do so may result in cancellation per the standard policy.
Wi-Fi Access
Our free Wi-Fi requires an email entry to log on; contact confirmation is optional.
Maintenance
From time to time, lawn care, landscaping or other routine maintenance may need to be completed during your stay if it cannot be scheduled between guests. We will provide advance notice whenever possible, but this may not always be feasible.
Maintenance personnel may be on the property, but no one will enter the home without your permission, except in the event of an emergency.
