Sunset Cottage will accommodate multi-family and friend gatherings and reunions, as it has beds for 12 but will sleep up to 14 people.

The property has a gently sloped yard that leads to a private covered dock and 2 jet ski pads. Guests are invited to use the perimeter of the private dock during the summer months as the owner's boat occupies the covered lift. Ropes and bumpers are provided. A fire pit near the water's edge provides the perfect opportunity for roasting marshmallows and hot dogs, or just relaxing and making memories with family and friends.
Sunset Cottage is located in the popular Little River area of Lake Barkley, with Sandy Beach just across the bay. Enjoy your morning coffee while watching the deer play at the water's edge, or catch a glimpse of the famous Bald Eagles and Great White Pelicans as they soar across the lake.
Two kayaks are provided for guests who would like to explore the tranquil area by water.

We enjoyed the property so much we never went off site! Exceeded our expectations. It’s called Sunset Cottage for good reason. Mild winter weather, gorgeous foggy mornings, water fowl aplenty, fabulous lake views and canoe adventures--an unforgettable, amazing family holiday.
The location of the home was great. We enjoyed fishing, the beautiful lake and serenity. Wildlife especially the deer. The house was really nice and we really enjoyed sitting in the enclosed porch downstairs in the afternoon. We would highly recommend this place.
Spent a long weekend here for the Eclipse. The lake and atmosphere was very peaceful. The house accommodates great for large gatherings. Highly recommend!
The property is very nice. Plenty of space for 5 adults and 5 children. The kitchen is fully stocked with dishes and cookware. Beautiful views right on the lake and the owner supplied wood.
This was the perfect place for our weekend getaway! There were 10 of us ladies and it was everything we were expecting! A little remote, so grab what you need before you go! Scenery was spectacular, We will be using again!
Beautiful spacious home with all the amenities. The yard and fire pit were great. Plenty of fishing and jumping off the dock to be enjoyed. The neighborhood was very quiet and full of beautiful deer.
This house is beautiful, and the location is serene, with deer wandering through the yard throughout the day. We had 8 people stay in the house, and we could have fit more without feeling cramped at all. The house was clean, and the kayaks, screened-in patio, and lounge area down by the water really made our weekend.
Very nice Lake house. Our family really enjoyed their time on the water with their jet skis, fishing & boat rides. We also sat around the fire pit & roasted some marshmallows : Also enjoyed just relaxing & watching the Beautiful sunsets and deer running through the yard.
We are 14 friends ages 60 to 80 that have been meeting at Barkley every Summer for 28 years. Sunset Cottage if perfect! We all agreed we want to stay there again next year.
Property is exactly as expected. Only concern which was mentioned to the owner already is Down Pillows (feather) for those with feather allergies. Home was clean. View was great. Parking is easy.
We stayed as a family (of 8) in this beautiful lake house as the start of our family vacation. The house is beautifully updated, with lots of space for our family. Double washer and dryers, plenty of games, comfortable linens, large spa-like showers, easy lake access, etc. the kids really enjoyed using the provided kayaks, and we enjoyed grilling steaks out on the deck. We kept a nice fire going outside down by the lake, and really enjoyed the beautiful view. We would definitely stay here again!
The home was lovely inside and out. Even though it rained all weekend the views were spectacular from every level of the home. The kitchen island was perfect for everyone to sit around and have meals and play games, and the screened in porch was great for hanging out in the evening.
We are a group of 15 that have gone to Barkley yearly for 30 years. Sunset Cottage is just perfect! We range from ages 60 to 80. It couldn’t be more beautiful.
The layout of this home is perfect for kids, parents and grandparents. We stayed for 4 nights during a very rainy week, but had plenty of room to spread out on different levels. Loved having a bathroom linked with each bedroom. We cooked most of our meals at the house and found all the supplies we needed - even a crockpot.The location is great for exploring the Land Between the Lakes. Loved the Homeplace 1850's Working Farm and Nature Center. Would definitely stay here again!
Our family of 6 (grandparents, parents, kids - 9 & 12) really enjoyed our stay! We like spending a few days at a lake during fall break each year. Our usual place was booked and we were lucky enough to find this beautiful property! It checked all our box's. The fishing was exciting, we reeled in some of the biggest fish we've ever cought (lake or inshore fishing the gulf). The areas we kayaked to and explored were also exciting. The property is beautiful, the house is cozy, well decorated, the bathroom's and bedrooms are very nice, the bed linens were clean and comfortable. The screened in porch and fire pit we're awesome! We were very happy with the accomodations and will be back in the future.
We all loved this house! They have everything we needed - including 2 fridges, 2 washers and dryers, 4 bathrooms/showers and lots of beds! Beautiful home and lake views. Mike, the owner, was so easy to work with and you can tell he loves this home and happy to open it up to families. What a treasure!
Everything about this was amazing. The house was amazing (clean, well stocked with necessities, plenty of room, great layout, wonderful views of lake). The communication with owners was amazing (timely, helpful, accommodating). The lake was amazing (good fishing from dock or boat, great beach across the channel for kids to swim, low traffic). We would definitely stay here again. Strongly recommend for a family or any group looking for a fun relaxing trip.
We had a wonderful stay at Mike's lake house. He was the best host that I have ever had at a rental property. The house and grounds were very well kept and Mike was very attentive. Note that the lake and firepit are is quite a bit further from the house than anticipated but the exercise didn't hurt.
Great house. The deck and screened room was perfect for our family. We rented a pontoon boat for the week and was able to tie it to the owner's peer. Kitchen gave four cooks plenty of room to create delicious meals all week. Most certainly will return.
This cottage and setting was beautiful! We loved every moment from fishing off the dock with our boys, drinking coffee in the AM while looking at the stunning view and enjoying the fire pit at night under the stars. The house was thoughtfully stocked with everything we needed and more and the owner was gracious and accommodating. The only disappointment you will experience is having to leave it all behind! Highly recommend!
Super easy to find. Incredible views. Very nice updated & spacious house. Enough comfortable sleeping space. Easy access, and safe, to lake. Rented a boat for a day, rode to house to get everyone. Great fun!! Elk & Bison Reserve fun for an hour. Inside house areas nice, and just enough for the possible rainy day. Glad we went!! Mike is very attentive and friendly.
This house is very nice but it is not big enough for 16 people which is how it was listed. Really 12 would be perfect. Not enough space to even pull out the trundle beds and couldn’t find any sheets for them. But overall we still had a wonderful time just very crowded. The outdoor space is great!
