Great Lake Getaway!

Property is right on the water, small beach, docks, kayaks! You can rent a boat from the Lynnhurst Marina, and motor back to the cove, if you just follow the map We did this! The house was great, plenty of room inside and out. We fished, drove around in a pontoon boat, played cards on the deck, paddled around in the kayaks, just fun all around!

Great long weekend trip!

We stayed Thurs. - Sunday and despite very stormy weather, we had a wonderful stay. Shelter Point North was exactly as advertised if not better! The place was clean, had a good kitchen set up so meals could be prepared, and games/movies to help pass the time during the heavy rains. We would definitely recommend and plan to return!

Great week at the lake!

Our time at Shelter Point was a relaxing time together and fun on the water. The property was fairly easy to find, google took us right there (however I missed the numbers on the mailbox, so look for those!) The space was great, we had eight of us, 4 adults, 2 teens and 2 kids (9/10). The basement was great for giving us space to spread out and the apartment was wonderful for that also. The kitchen had all the basics we needed. Let's talk about the lake front. The view was great, the dock was even better. Lynnhurst Family Resort is a short boat ride from the property where we had a 3 day boat rental. You can bring the boat back to the house and use the covered dock for keeping it out of any possible weather. It was in a small cove, and we caught a few fish from the dock. We also had lots of fun using the kayaks that were provided, definitely a bonus! The only unexpected issue we had was the walk from the house down to the dock. It is steeper than I realized from the pictures, and this gave my parents a bit of trouble. Overall, we had a great experience.

Family Lake Trip

Our six littles had a blast in the lake! Great access as was a gentler slope…not so steep with steps like a lot of others we considered. Kristin was quick to respond when I had to reach out with an issue prior to arrival. I truly appreciated that. Hope to return to Kentucky Lake in the future!

Perfect place for fishing and swimming in the lake.

We are fishing and fun people. We caught over 100 keeper fish and threw back as many smalls and rough fish as we kept during a week's stay. The young kids lived on the rock beach jumping off of the dock, floating on rafts and kayaking in the cove. Adults enjoyed the same and even kayaked to other coves on the lake. The campfires in the evenings were special. The nighttime dark helicopter training and the flyovers during the day out on the lake was a bonus we will not forget. The deck and view were awesome and since the weather was beautiful, we spent a lot of our time out there. The house and apartment were great and we simply had a memorable time enjoying fishing, family, and play at this beautiful spot on Kentucky Lake.

Awesome Location! Cute House!

This was a great property with amazing views. It was exactly as described. The shoreline around the property and the dock is perfect for fishing. We had six adults and six kids and they all had a blast! Everyone had a place to sleep and plenty of room. The bonus guest house was truly a bonus. The location was one of our favorites out of many rentals and the owners were quick to respond and fantastic! Highly recommend!

Spring Fling 2024

Everything was great. Only one complaint, we were on a fishing trip and there was no electricity at the boat docks. We had to pull our boats out from a boat ramp seven miles away to recharge the batteries and relaunched the next morning having to travel seven miles. Otherwise, the house and grounds were great.

Nice Lake House

The property was nice as it was right on the lake, had a nice dock, Kayaks and deck overlooking the lake. Property also had a seperate 1 bd 1 ba apartment which was great. The 2nd Living Room with bathroom were on the lower level and could be accessed through what seemed like a closet door or sliding glass doors from the lake side outside but seemed very detached from the upstairs. Would have been perfect for kids or a seperate party area, we just didnt use it. Overall cleanliness could have been better, both sofas on the first floor had food and candy wrappers under them, ceiling fans had caked on dirt, some provided towels were fraying. Having said all of this, I would stay here again for the value. Owner was Super responsive and answered all of our questions quickly.

Beautiful & Spacious Home Right on the Lake

This home, along with the additional apartment, provided a great deal of space for our group. We spent a lot of time outdoors, eating, playing games, & relaxing on the the very nice & spacious deck, which overlooks beautiful Kentucky Lake. Our friends brought their ski boat & it was great to have our own dock. We also enjoyed swimming right off of the dock. Note that the path down to the lake & dock are rather steep, & could be challenging for some adults & small children. Kristin was a pleasure to deal with & quick to respond with our questions & concerns. We enjoyed our stay & would definitely recommend staying at this home.

Beautiful property!

The location of the home and property, including having a dock to fish from and keep our small boat was perfect! We had some small hiccups with the house, fridge wouldn't get cold enough first day for food and everything had to be moved to guest house fridge until the main house fridge got cold and one of the toilets would not flush completely. All of the beds were uncomfortable. The pots and pans are old and need updated, and for the amount of food we cooked for our group, we had to make do with what was there and I had to purchase a soup pot since there wasn't one. House needs some TLC, but again, we made the best of what we had and loved the location/property.
