Description

We welcome extended families searching for necessary restorative time with plenty of space, inside and out to relax and enjoy each other. There are many quiet places to pursue a novel found in one of our bookcases. If you crave peace and quiet, this is the home for you.
 
Our spacious luxurious home is located on a large double lot at the end of a quiet road and has all the amenities for you to relax, unwind, escape the ordinary and enjoy the change of pace you deserve. Privacy galore. East of us is a wide open yard with lots of play space for everyone to enjoy. Easy access for all vehicles, boats and trailers via our pull through driveway in front of the house. For your convenience there is also extra vehicle parking plus a driveway down to our private covered dock just East of our house. Feel free to take your supplies directly to our dock for a day on the Lake Barkley via your vehicle. Driving to our private dock is an unusual convenience that we know you will certainly enjoy.
 
Get far away from the stress and demands of everyday life and surround yourself with nature and people you love in our perfect hideaway. Our back lawn slopes gently down to our private covered dock which features one covered slip for your use, plus two extra tie up areas on either side of the dock. It is a fun place to gather for swimming and/or fishing. A spool table is provided on the dock for fish cleaning. There is a ladder to the water at the end of the dock for the swimmers in your family. The lake is shallow with a sandy bottom near the shore and gently slopes toward the end of our dock.

Our fire pit on a round, fenced patio is popular for roasting hot dogs and of course enjoying s'mores. Firewood is provided (stored under our large oak tree) and roasting sticks are located in the kitchen pantry. 
 
Catching lightening bugs is also a summertime favorite activity for the youngsters of all ages. Some of our guests have never had the chance to pursue this fun summer evening activity. It's a memorable, unique experience if you do not live where beautiful lightening bugs abound.  
 
Our large cement driveway is also a good game area for lots of fun. If you use sidewalk chalk, please bring equipment to remove the chalk before leaving. We want a 'clean' driveway for our next guests.

  • David & Ellen Waters

Cattle and blueberry farmers in western Kentucky, not far from Lake Barkley.
Why Ellen Waters/ David Waters
This home fulfills our dream of owning waterfront property on beautiful Lake Barkley. We intend to use this property in our lifetime and have created a trust to pass it on to our family and hope that it will provide years and years of fun and togetherness for all of them.. It is large enough to accommodate 3 and 4 generation reunions and cozy enough for the two of us to spend quiet time alone.
What makes this House unique
After extensive shopping, we finally found a home in a small quiet neighborhood that did not require any steps to reach our own private covered dock with electricity. With a gently sloping expansive lawn leading to the water, we definitely were interested before we even stepped inside this spacious custom built home. To further assure our privacy, we bought the lots East of our home and now have a unique, expansive very private playground We had casually looked at waterfront property for years and had a list of 'must haves', that we would not compromise on. This home fulfills all of our desires: solid construction, within an hour from our farm home, good major road access, quiet and sparsely populated neighborhood, gentle slope with no steps to the lake, large private,electrified covered dock, southern exposure, screened porch, ideal spot for a fire pit, expansive decks with comfortable lounge chairs, a porch swing and a view of lake from most of the major rooms for easy 'outside living'.
Furnishing the home was a labor of love. Using Ellen's handmade quilts, and her sewing expertise plus solid wood furniture, much of which has been refinished by David, furnishing our home is an ongoing project. We are able to use what we both love creating and enjoy knowing our guests appreciate our efforts. Truly the ideal family vacation home for our children and grandchildren. We know how much fun we all have as we gather here for our annual reunion. Now we are sharing this unique home for those who appreciate a comfortable lake home to unwind and enjoy quality time with family and friends. I know you will enjoy our home as much as we do. We appreciate the reviews we have received and look forward to hearing from you.

Awesome Lake House!


Beautiful home and very clean. We had 4 families with plenty of space for everyone. Teens loved swimming down by the dock. Plenty of parking and big yard for outdoor activities. Enjoyed having breakfast and quiet time at the table in the screened in porch. Loved sitting on the deck in the evening with everyone. Owners very easy to work with and very responsive to all our questions. Beautiful secluded setting. Kitchen was well stocked. Beds were comfortable. We had a wonderful time, making many memories. Enjoyed a night out at Triplets BBQ in Cadiz, great food and desserts. Would highly recommend this property, especially nice for large groups. Been one of the nicest houses we\'ve stayed at.

Great Retreat


This is the 3rd year we’ve rented Our Triggwood for our sibling reunion. Perfect house for 5 adults. The house is clean, well equipped, and has wonderful lake views from the quiet private deck. Ellen is very easy to communicate with and was quick to accommodate our needs.

This house was amazing! Very large, wonderfully equipped for our big group, very clean!


Our entire children & grandchildren came from the Chicago suburbs & Florida for our bi-annual vacation. We were delighted at how large the home was and how well equipped it was. The kitchen was stocked with virtually everything we needed from dishes to utensils to electric devices, griddle, etc.! I have never rented a place previously that was so well provided, even things like hand soap, bath soap, shampoo, toilet paper, paper towels, nice bathroom towels, etc. The porches were lovely; we enjoyed the fire pit with s\'mores and star gazing (amazing!); loved the screened-in porch for coffee & wake-ups first thing in the morning. The kids spent most of their time in the water and enjoying the dock, but no luck with fishing (I think they scared them all away)!!! Everything was clean and well maintained. We saw deer every morning & evening, even some that came fairly close to the house. It was peaceful and relaxing. Not the best signal for electronics use, but we made do. Thanks, Ellen & David, for sharing your lovely home. We will certainly recommend it to anyone traveling to this area.
