About this property
The Barge Inn has amazing views of beautiful Kentucky Lake.
There is not a better view of Kentucky Lake available than "The Barge Inn" on Kentucky Lake. This lakefront property is located on a tall bluff overlooking the widest part of Kentucky Lake where the Tennessee River merges with the Big Sandy River. You will see the Big Sandy Wildlife Refuge across the lake to the West. You will see Paris Landing State Park Lodge 4.0 ⁸miles across the lake to the north. Your view of Tennessee River traffic is unimpeded for a 12 mile stretch of the river channel. You will enjoy watching sail boats, lots of barges, cabin cruisers, fishing tournaments, cargo ships, and river cruise boats. The wind currents caused by the bluff next to the lake result in the perfect location to watch the eagles soar looking for their next meal. You will be able to enjoy lake activities just 200 yards down the road to the beach. There are (4) kayaks and a pedal boat available to use when the weather is calm. The beach provides a great place to swim, float and fish. Nature, small towns, antiques and Civil War history are the main attractions at the Barge Inn. If you are looking to get away from the hustle and bustle look no further. The Barge Inn lake front retreat is light, airy and clean with spacious living areas, two large decks, comfortable bedrooms, great mattresses, sparkling clean fully supplied bathroom and a fully equipped kitchen. This lakeside retreat is only 2 hours from Nashville, Tn if you want to take a day trip to Music City. The property is 40 minutes from Murray State University or 1 hour from Austin Peay University. The Barge Inn is only 25 minutes from Ft. Donelson, a Civil War fort, that was key to securing the Cumberland River gateway to Nashville Tn. The original surrender house for the Battle of Dover is part of the National Park landmarks in Dover, Tn. that you can tour. The Land Between the Lakes National Recreation Area is about 30 minutes away. This area offers hiking, biking, horseback riding, a buffalo and elk range that can be driven through, a nature center, a planetarium, and more.
