Private and Luxurious Rustic Hideaway on Barren River Lake
About this cabin rental
Situated in Barren River Lake, this lovely cabin for $135 per night is a fantastic choice for your next trip. Welcome to our private paradise on Barren River Lake. Our rustic, hand-hewn log cabin is the perfect retreat for anyone needing a break from the mad rush of life without sacrificing the comforts of home. Surround yourself with the chirping of birds, the croak of frogs, and the song of the wind blowing through the trees. Spy on wildlife as they make their way down to the lake for a drink, or wend your way down the path to your own private shallow swimming beach and dock. Search for fossils along the beach, toss a line in for fish, or hop in your boat for a casual float around the lake. Your closest neighbors lie across the lake, but you are still close to the conveniences of Walnut Creek Marina and Boat drop, and you are still within 5 miles of downtown Scottsville and the entrance to the Barren River State Park. The accommodations include a 720 square foot cabin and a totally private acre of lake fronted forest. The cabin has one large bedroom area upstairs, featuring a queen size bed and a day bed with a trundle. We have one bathroom with a shower and tub. The small kitchen features full size appliances, and everything you need to cook and serve your meals. The main living area features leather and antique furniture, a stone fireplace with a propane log fire, a TV with basic cable, and high speed WIFI. There is a screened in balcony off the bedroom perfect for your morning coffee or evening reading nook, a wood deck off the back with year round views of the water (lake view from April through late October, creek view through the winter). This is the perfect spot for a small family, a couple seeking a private week away, artists or authors seeking inspiration and solitude, or anyone just needing to get back in touch with nature. We do not, however, recommend this rental for anyone with mobility limitations as there are rocky steps, stairs inside, and an unimproved forest trail down to access the lake. There are no pets allowed at this property. Please keep in mind that properties on the lake are on small septic systems. When we say this property is suitable for 4 people, that is really the maximum number of people the septic system can handle. Please do not plan large gatherings.

This is a charming cabin in a secluded area, but there are some major drawbacks. The listing did caution about uneven stone steps down to the cabin, but in fact they are dangerous -- there is no handrail, and at night the lights by the stairs as well as the yard light on a pole do not work, so it is quite dangerous. Also, the internet is dicey and there is basically no phone service. The cleaning also was incomplete -- the porches were filled with leaves, and the little balcony off the upstairs had not been cleaned and was full of cobwebs.

Cute cabin, beds could be improved, cleaning could be improved. My husband enjoyed fishing, but the path is very steep as others have said.

This cabin was a great getaway for my husband and I for a long weekend. We definitely enjoyed the scenery, peacefulness and views. It is very remote so make sure to bring all of your supplies with you!

The ad says it all and it was just as advertised if not a little better. Would definitely recommend. If your into the fishing aspect, the walk to the lake may be a little steep and the path could be cleaned up some but it by far doesn't take away from the tranquil setting. If I ever get the opportunity to take. Trip like that again, I will definitely keep this little cabin on my short list. :)

We usually try to take a vacation/weekend getaway every couple months and wanted to squeeze one in before school started. This place was my favorite out of the many many places we've stayed. I have zero complaints. It was so nice to disconnect and the coziness of the cabin/location was much needed. We will definitely be back. Maya was great about giving the address details before our trip. Had no issues finding the place. We didn't want to leave.

I took my wife there for our 5th wedding anniversary. It’s the perfect spot to get away to. The location makes it very peaceful and comfortable. We liked that they’re no neighbors to close to the cabin. We brought in everything for the weekend and we never left. We’ll definitely be back. The pictures of the cabin are nice, but it doesn’t compare to seeing it and staying there.

Mice droppings in drawers. Refrigerator needs attention. Pull out couch bed is disgusting. Water was brown most of our stay. I have pictures if you would like to see them

Property is tucked away down a private drive and very secluded. Real log cabin with all the amenities of home included. The place was even better than expected. Large back porch overlooking the lake's bank. Water was low during our visit, but made for a quiet stay since there was no boat traffic. Bring a flashlight if arriving arriving at night! Perfect place, at a fair price, for a quiet get away.

A small log cabin with everything you need. Great view of lake and boat slip if needed. Host is extremely responsive.

This beautiful cabin is excellently maintained. It was very clean and had all the amenities of home. The dock was a game changer. We didn't have a boat but were still able to enjoy the beautiful weekend from the dock. We especially loved the small patio off the bedroom. It was perfect for sipping coffee and spotting the local flora and fauna. We'll definitely be back!

This cabin was close to everything we needed and wanted. Extremely clean, nestled in an area surrounded by nature and serenity. Everything is provided, and Maya is so hospitable with this space. My only regret was that we did not have more time to spend in the cabin! Highly recommend.

Absolutely beautiful home and location I wish I could’ve stayed another week… If your looking for a secluded getaway this is it very peaceful and quiet and the water is just a short walk away. Maya was terrific to work with and she does a great job with the property. The house was super clean and very comfy. Will def be coming back!!!!!

Stayed here while visiting local attractions- caves and corvette museum. Was so peaceful- couldn't even see any neighboring houses. Had a great time watching wildlife and fishing at the lake- beautiful!! We will definitely be back!

Peaceful secluded haven
The cabin is a hidden gem and absolutely perfect for a quiet getaway. Maya is very responsive and thorough, and the check-in/check-out processes were very easy. Though it is in a lesser populated area, we felt safe the whole time. The private shore and dock on the lake is peaceful and beautiful. You can spend most of your day on the water without worry. We are definitely making the trip back in the future!

This property is as advertised, quiet, charming, beautiful lake view in secluded woods environment. Cabin had everything you need to make your stay comfortable. I enjoyed grilling out on back deck which had a wonderful view. I would definitely stay here again.

What a cute cabin in the woods. It made for a nice weekend away from Nashville. We loved having the river at the back door. The views with coffee in the morning were so relaxing. It is a small cabin with a steep drive so it isn’t for everyone. My only complaint would be it needs some cookware replacements & the step lights outside didn’t work well. We hope to return again in the spring.

The cabin was perfect for my husband and I. Nothing too big or extravagant, just right. It is very private and quiet, especially at night when you can hear nature at her finest. I heard an owl one night there. I wish we could have spent more time there but we had bourbon distilleries to tour during the day and by the time we got back, it was time for bed. The host was very prompt with any communication which was very convenient. Can’t wait to come back.

Fantastic private and peaceful weekend getaway! Surrounded by hills, trees, and water. The only people we saw were on boats out in the water, but they couldn't see us, because the cabin is up the hill and hidden by the trees.
