This was a beautiful property inside and out. The kitchen was very well stocked with extra thoughtfulness and the host had left some special treats. Everything was comfortable and there were a lot of games and books to enjoy. We especially enjoyed the large decks with plenty of comfortable deck furniture and nice, relaxing views. Great property and great hosts!

Birthday lake trip

We had a wonderful time at Lakin’ Memories for my husband’s 30th birthday. Very clean and spacious house. We spent the majority of time there outside on the decks. Having an on-site boat dock was so helpful and convenient for us. Very friendly owner, he came by and introduced himself in person and wished my husband a happy birthday.

Love Lakin Memories

The only reason I don't stay at Lakin Memories when I visit Kentucky Lake is because its already booked. This place is more popular then fleas on a dog. The home is fantastic , the host Ben and his wife have become like family. Oh did I mention the dock for your boat. I want to live in this home. The property Manager Michelle is super helpfull. We will be back!

Book this Lovely Lakeside Retreat!

We loved this property and the personal touches the hosts provide for their guests. The house was very comfortable, clean and cozy. The welcome gift was amazing and touching (no spoilers, but you'll love it, too!). We especially liked just chilling out on the decks watching the fireflies, owls, birds and deer in the back yard. My family was the original owner of Moors Resort and I have stayed in numerous properties in that area over the years. I must say this one was the most comfortable by far. Beds, pillows, shower heads, firm couches, well-stocked kitchen, clean porches, lighting, toiletries...everything was top notch. Highly recommend this property!

Great vacation!

We enjoyed our vacation and would definitely stay at this home again. It was clean and comfortable. It was a good setup for our two family units. Our son and daughter-in-law and granddaughters utilized the downstairs with the three bedrooms and a bathroom and we used the bedroom and bathroom upstairs. We especially enjoyed the outdoor spaces, both upstairs and downstairs, for quiet morning coffee or playing with our granddaughters. The owner was responsive and helpful and went above and beyond to make us feel at home. We enjoyed the wine and cheese welcome gift too! Since we were near Moor’s and the marina, we ate at Ralph’s which was good and enjoyed ice cream at the marina almost every day when we were out boating. We definitely recommend Larkin’ Memories!

Memories Made

I started scheduling short KY Lake trips with my children, their spouses, and my grandchildren 6 years ago for the purpose of making great family memories. It took us awhile to find the right location and we enjoyed it for a few years until our family outgrew the living space. This year we stayed at Lakin’ Memories and it was wonderful. The accommodations in this new home are very nice with a fully equipped kitchen with lots of extras. The setting is beautiful and we had the use of the boat dock for our pontoon and jet ski. We appreciated the courteous service we received from the owners and thank them for making our trip memorable. We hope to return next year.
