I write like it's my job - because it is! I have a Master's in English and love words: crossword puzzles, Scrabble games, Wordle, and, of course, good, old-fashioned books.

As local travel experts, we know what travelers are looking for when it comes to finding the perfect accommodations for their next trip. To compile our lists, we scour the internet to find properties with excellent ratings and reviews, desirable amenities, nearby attractions, and that something special that makes a destination worthy of traveling for.
Here in Kentucky, you don’t have to go far for a relaxing waterfront getaway. Between lovely lakes like Lake Cumberland, Kentucky Lake, and Lake Barkley, as well as waterside gems such as Kentucky’s Pennyrile Forest State Resort Park and Jenny Wiley State Resort Park, opportunities abound for R&R in the Bluegrass. But in terms of superlatives, Lighthouse Landing Resort & Marina in Grand Rivers might just be our favorite place for a relaxing waterfront getaway in Kentucky.
Would you believe us if we told you that this postcard-perfect scene isn't from Maine or Michigan, but Kentucky?
Lighthouse Landing is a premier vacation and weekend getaway destination on Western Kentucky’s Kentucky Lake. Its central location in the small town of Grand Rivers is the perfect home base for all sorts of adventures, from unrivaled outdoor recreation to a day of fun at Patti's Settlement.
Fishing, boating, sailing, and water sports of all kinds are popular in the warmer months, and these winsome watercraft can often be spotted from the resort's cabins and accommodations. Lighthouse Landing even has its own private beach!
Lighthouse Landing's picturesque marina is home to over 150 sailboats. Boat slips are available for rent if you BYOB (boat, that is); or, you can opt to rent a boat from the marina.
Secluded yet accessible, Lighthouse Landing is a short walk or golf cart ride to downtown Grand Rivers, offering vacationers the best of both worlds. Bring your boat, learn to sail, go fishing, take a stroll through town, hike in Land Between the Lakes, or simply relax in your waterfront cottage.
With views like these, we feel more relaxed already.
Have you experienced the splendor of a waterfront getaway at this Kentucky treasure? Lighthouse Landing Resort & Marina in Grand Rivers needs to be your next vacation spot in the Bluegrass State!
