The weather is warming up and it’s getting about time for taking vacations in our beautiful state of Kentucky. We’re fortunate to have so many wonderful options and it’s always extra special when you can get a waterfront Airbnb for more spring and summer fun and fantastic views. Here are some of the best waterfront Airbnbs in Kentucky for the perfect vacation.

1. The Heron near Owenton

You’ll find this comfy A-frame cabin on the shores of Elmer Davis Lake near Owenton. It has two bedrooms, and two bathrooms, and sleeps four people. There are canoes and kayaks available, and you’ll love the wood interior.

There are steps right down to the lake and Wi-Fi is available. You’ll have a full kitchen and every modern amenity imaginable. Paddle around the lake and then have a barbecue on the gas grill and enjoy a sky full of stars in the evening.

2. Lakefront Chalet With Dock Boat & Rental

Here’s a sweet slice of paradise right by the gorgeous Lake Herrington. It has 2 bedrooms and four beds and sleeps six people. You can bring your own boat and dock it here or rent one and enjoy the lake in style. It’s also surprisingly inexpensive for how nice the place is!

All the furnishings are comfy and there are linens, kitchenware, TV, and a PS3 gaming console available. There’s a huge deck with a grill, patio furniture, and an overhead awning so you can even enjoy it in the rain.

3. Dream Lake Home

If you have a large family and want a vacation that can accommodate everyone while being very light on your wallet, this huge lakefront cabin in Russell Springs is just perfect!

There are ample seating options available in this spacious, three-story cabin and there’s something to do for everyone. A foosball game, books, a ping pong table, board games, TV, Wi-Fi, and even a dedicated workspace just in case anyone needs to be productive.

4. Lakefront Retreat With Private Dock

This lakefront retreat on Lake Malone is a real stunner! Vast, bright, open, and clean, and the views are spectacular. There are 7 beds spread out among 3 bedrooms (two of them are master suites) and there are three bathrooms. The place comfortably accommodates 8 people.

There is so much available here including a fire pit by the lake, four kayaks with life vests, hammocks, cornhole, spikeball, four Roku smart TVs, a playpen and highchair for little ones, and all the linens and kitchen utensils you could ask for. This place is to die for!
