Summary:
Come kick off your shoes and relax!

The Space:
What a View! Standing on the back deck will take your breath away. You can enjoy a BBQ with the family or just relax and enjoy the views of the lake.

This 3 bedroom cottage has two master bedrooms. The upstairs master is a complete suite with a king size bed, a sitting area, a soaking tub, and a private deck from which to enjoy the view.

The second master is located on the main floor and has its own bathroom and access to the back deck.

The third bedroom has a bunk bed and a twin bed with a pull out underneath the full bed.

This property is managed by a local management company.We work directly with the owners to make your stay relaxing and fun. When you need questions answered you will be talking with Suzanne Jones , who will work tirelessly to answer all your questions.After your reservation is confirmed we have an additional renters agreement that will direct you sign via our software Guesty .

The cottage is located on the top of the hill which overlooks the lake. There are access trails that the resort maintains and we have markers to indicate where to hike. Please bring bug spray during the summer! If you wish to walk to the lake for beach access Taylorsville does not provide that . Taylorsville Lake is a boating and fishing lake, not a swimming lake. You can walk to Taylorsville Lake Marina (taylorsvillelakemarina.com) to the Resort but it is better to drive. You can also visit the state park that is a short 10 minute drive .Visit https://www.stateparks.com/taylorsville_lake_state_park_in_kentucky.html to see all that the state park has to offer.

Our guests have access to all that Edgewater Resort has to offer, including the resort clubhouse by way of reservation, pool in season, children's play area, basketball hoop, volleyball court, shared fire pits by the playground, greenery and lake access.

Because we are located a little outside of town, the major grocery chains are about a 25 minute drive away.However town does have a wonderful grocery store ,pharmacy, auto store, hardware store and many smaller convenience stores like Dollar General.

Louisville is located about 45 mins away. Just type in Edgewater Resort or Taylorsville lake as your start point and enter your destination and it will give you very accurate information.

Loved it. It was a perfect setup for our family getaway and spending a weekend with my brother who is in a wheeelchair. Love that the ramp up to the door was ada compliant…. Only complaint was that the doorways was too small to accommodate his wheelchair but it all worked out :)

Property was well kept and as advertised. Some well placed “Quick Start” cards could help. Things like the TVs, hot tubs, ice makers, fire features and other quirky things. We only had one working shower in the guest master. It was reported and addressed very quickly with satisfactory results. Would love to organize an entire family reunion week for multiple clans. I would suggest a dock to fish from and possibility of tent or lawn weddings. Possibly build some intimate one bedroom cottages, and explore the possibility of treehouses for that hidden from the road, but seen from the lake. I have many promotional ideas if you would like to discuss.

Fun for all ages
We visited with our 16 year olds & parents to Barefoot Cottage for a week in the spring. Perfect location for trips to Louisville & Lexington for adventures with the kids, and local distilleries for grown-up fun. The pool was not open yet due to season, but plenty of green space and close proximity to the state park for outdoor activities. The house was clean & perfect space for us - Loved our visit!

Ark & Bourbon!
Great central location to get to many bourbon distilleries and a quick drive to the Ark Experience. The hob tub was a great way to relax each night after exploring Kentucky for the day. I would highly recommend staying here and we wouldn't hesitate staying here again!

Where’s the lake?
Cute, clean and comfortable cabin! Sadly there is absolutely no view of the lake and no bank access to the lake on the entire Edgewater property-very disappointed about that.

A very Nice Getaway - One Hiccup
The house is VERY spacious and was exceptionally clean upon our arrival. The resort community is quiet, easy to access, and has very nice trails, and great nearby food choices. Communication with the property hostess was open, clear, concise, and professional. Exceeded my expectations in ALMOST every way. I would be remiss if I didn't mention the one and only negative. Before booking the property I emailed a question as to whether the hot tub on the deck was working and available for our planned stay (the following week). Within an hour I had a message saying it was. Two days later, and two days before our arrival, I received a message that the hot tub was now not working, that is was going to be replaced, and that it would not be working for our stay. The only filter option I use for our VRBO searches is "hot tub". The reason I emailed in advance is because we love to sit in a hot tub under the stars and relax. To say we were disappointed is a tremendous understatement. We absolutely would have cancelled over this and booked elsewhere with a functioning hot tub. The options we were given were cancel and get 50% refund or make the trip and get a smaller discount. We made the trip and made the best of it. The hostess went above and beyond to try and make it right......but we were still disappointed with that one thing.

4 night lake getaway
Barefoot Cottage was just what we needed! It was very nice and roomy for our group 7! Everything was very clean and organized! We did have air conditioning issues when arriving but I had already received a email asking how everything was so I responded to the email and within 15 minutes I was contacted via phone and text (cell service is in and out by the lake) and my issue was resolved in no time! We would most definitely stay here again!!!

Nice Holiday Giveaway
We wanted somewhere to spend a few days away from home during the holidays and we were not disappointed. The home was clean, well furnished and cozy. We really enjoyed the hot tub and the board games. Our teens enjoyed the large bedrooms with their own televisions. We did some hiking and outdoor activities right there on the property. Louisville was a relatively short drive away where we could get some yummy take-out or do some safe "socially distanced" activities. Highly recommended!
