The owner was so nice and easy to do business with! The caretaker of the property was awesome! The house was absolutely magnificent and accomadated us with room to spare. The fire pit was perfect for the little ones when they did their S'mores, the huge grill was perfect for all the burgers and hot dogs, beds were clean and comfortable, kitchen was well stocked with appliances, pots, pans and dishes, and there was so much room to move around. By far the best VRBO we have ever rented. If you have a huge family like ours and you want to visit a gorgeous part of Kentucky, we highly recommend Alvy's Hideaway in Cadiz KY!

Cadiz? I'm in Cadiz, KY? Even though I am Kentucky born and bred, I never thought that I'd write -…read moreor say - that sentence. But, it came to pass that I was meeting up with a group of very special people and we needed a large Kentucky venue to house us. After one of my buddies did some expert sleuthing, we came upon Alvy's Hideaway on scenic Lake Barkely. I've lived in nine different American cities. I've been to many different countries. I would put Kentucky's beauty up against any in the world. It's a geographically gorgeous state and this house will make you think the same. It backs up to a wooded lot with lake access which makes for spectacular sunrises. It also makes for super short commutes for all of your fishing, boating and tubing needs. With a grill, fire pit and swingset, you'll find an abundance of opportunities to spend time outside. If wandering the great outdoors is less your speed than looking at it, the house offers screened-in porches on the main and lower levels. And, let's talk about the house. It sleeps 26. That's not a typo. With eight bedrooms of varying sizes and styles, Alvy's is perfect for reunions, events and other shin digs which require accommodations for a football team-sized roster. In addition to the bedrooms, both levels have spacious common areas and three porches, perfect for private chats or morning solitude with coffee. One of my favorite parts of the house is the industrial-sized tea maker in the kitchen. It's perfectly Southern and was used throughout my group's stay. As much as I like Alvy's, there are some things to get used to. The bedrooms/bathrooms are not all made equally. It's remote. I had to harken back to my Boy Scout days to really get in the groove upon my arrival. While there are other homes around you, the house isn't easily or readily accessible to the interstate. You have to commit to coming here. There's no internet. Leave your laptops at home. You won't be able to use them. Likewise, getting a cell signal in the house was next to impossible. There was a landline at the home but even that was a little touch and go. The lack of viable and accessible communication made me a bit uneasy but I found that if I needed a cell signal, I just needed to walk up the driveway and into the main road (geez, that makes me sound *so* Kentuckian) and the nearby (5-10 minute drive) state campgrounds offers wifi. But, if you're committing to a vacation with friends/family on a gorgeous lake, do you need to be online? I discovered the answer was 'no.'

Loved this place! What a sweet little campground…read more This campground is right next to the interstate, and so a very convenient spot to stay on the road. We made a reservation that day (it seemed pretty packed early October so we got the last available spot). The staff here were very friendly, and we didn't have to pay until we arrived at the site. It was so affordable! With a Good Sam discount, our one night stay amounted to just ~$34! We were very happy with the price, which included full hook-ups (+ cable TV), a shower house, and a swimming pool (? I think). The next morning, we had our propane filled at that site and left. The owners here were very thoughtful and organized. Thought the campground wasn't very big, when we drove in, the owner had us follow her in her golf cart so we knew exactly where to pull in and how to park our extra truck. Will come back again!

I love that they have a convenience store, kids loved the slushies. Lots of walking and activities. The lake was low but we plan on returning and staying waterside. Everyone we met was super friendly and helpful. Our site was nice and level, easy to get in and out of. The only drawback is there is ZERO service. You need starlink if you are tucked in and you may be able to get slight signal right by the water away from tree cover or else you'll need to drive like 5 minutes down the road. Also if you are disabled or have small kiddos it is a considerable walk to things from some areas. I would bring a wagon or stroller for littles, bikes or scooters for kiddos, and golf carts for older/disabled folks. I'll definitely be bringing my beach cruiser next time. All in all I would definitely recommend staying here.
