Picturesque Grand Rivers: Grand Rivers is located between 218,000-acre Kentucky Lake and Lake Barkley, the nation's largest man-made body of water. In 2009, Grand Rivers was named the 8th best small town in the South by Southern Living Magazine.
The main entrance to 180,000 acre Land Between the Lakes National Recreation Area with 500 miles of hiking and biking trails is 1 mile from the lakehouse.
The cottage overlooks the Grand Rivers Walking Trail which runs under a large canopy of old growth hardwood beside the back part of Green Turtle Bay on Lake Barkley, which the locals refer to as Little Lake. Adjacent Little Lake Park offers a newly constructed children’s playground, free Saturday night concerts in the summer with live bands, and periodic outdoor festivals and car shows.
November through early January, Grand Rivers is at its best with its festival of lights that extends to the lakehouse along Little Lake Park as well as Horse drawn carriage rides and of course Santa at Patti's!
The cottage is a short walk to everything in Grand Rivers including Green Turtle Bay Marina & Lighthouse Landing Sailboat Marina (where motor boat, jet ski and sailboat rentals are available), Patti’s 1880s Settlement, T Lawson's Pub, Thirsty Turtle Tavern, Craig's Dairy Dream, Cabin Pizza, the Branson-style Badget Village Playhouse Theater, Village Market & Café grocery store, Village Liquors, antique and other retail stores, mini-golf, rock-wall climbing and much more.
