This is a beautiful home with tons of room inside and out. When we weren’t outside, my family loved to hang out in the game room. The host was great to work with. I highly recommend this property for your next trip to Lake Barkley.

The place was perfect for getting 16 members of our family together with some local friends to celebrate my mother’s life. The space was great for allowing large groups to gather both inside and out. The lake views were fantastic and the game room was an added bonus. I would definitely recommend Dave’s property for any and all large groups.

There were 7 of us on the getaway. The 2 refrigerators were not clean, the cabinet in the kitchen, where the trash cans were kept, was nasty. There were lots of cigarette butts in a concrete planter by the front door, the coffee pot had not been cleaned, there was a lot of dust, but the sheets and towels were clean. I have communicated with the owner and he is aware of the issues.

Great family vacation

Our stay at the Italian lodge was wonderful. There were 6 adults and 8 children ranging from 5 to 15. Lots of wonderful memories were made. There was plenty of space for the whole group and the game room was a huge hit with all my grandkids & my adult children! David was a great host & very responsive.

I can not say enough about this property and the host. David was very easy and responsive to talk with. He made sure we had everything we needed and knew all the "rules" of the house. We had our family reunion here and everyone raved about how much they enjoyed the venue. It was large enough to house most of our out of town guests and had great amenities. The kids loved the game room and garage for playing in. The house was mostly clean with it being as large as it is I can understand the cleaning crew can only do so much so maybe picking a room to "deep" clean once a month would easily do the trick. I and my family are hoping to rent again next year.

Great place for our group

Had a couple, 3 men and 4 youth between 13 and 18. Leaves enough beds and even had enough dining room chairs for everyone! (We do our own cooking, one seems to be king of the grill while another can go to the fridge and panty and come up with a gourmet meal from scratch).. Enjoyable time.

Good place for large families

We loved the house, and it was ample in size to accommodate 11 of us. The home is in need of some repair, particularly on the back deck, and the floor exiting the house. The owner was very quick to respond to any questions we had. As far as cleanliness goes the outside living areas, definitely need to be cleaned but the counters and furniture inside what is clean. Although there are supposed to be access in the backyard to the lake, there were so many fallen trees that we couldn’t enter the water there. The bathroom situation is a little bit funky there were two jack and Jill bathrooms. One bedroom had a commode in it and then there was a bathroom that three bedroom shared, which was also the only one on the ground level where the kitchen and living room are. All in all, we really enjoyed ourselves on this vacation.

Beautiful House

This was the perfect weekend. My husband and I along with our 3 daughters, their husbands, children rented this amazing house for a long weekend to spend time together. The house was perfect for us. Places for the kids to play, places to gather with everyone, and even a quiet room when you need to get away from the kids. It was perfect. The host was amazing as well. We hope to rent again.
