As local travel experts, we know what travelers are looking for when it comes to finding the perfect accommodations for their next trip.

What do you picture when you think about the ultimate Kentucky getaway? Somewhere on a lake, perhaps? Surrounded by beautiful Bluegrass scenery? With a glass of bourbon in hand? Well, we have a place that covers the first two only-in-Kentucky items, and there are many places where you can find some stellar spirits for your trip, too! This summer, rent a houseboat on Green River Lake, for the ultimate Kentucky excursion.
There are lots of lovely lakes in the Bluegrass State, but Green River Lake is a special kind of beautiful.
Green River Lake is located inside of Green River Lake State Park in Taylor County, Kentucky.
It's a recreational paradise offering 8,210 acres of pure Bluegrass beauty. Water sports, fishing, tubing, sunbathing on the beach... you can do it all here!
Two of the county’s 13 campgrounds can be found at Green River Lake, with these lakeside spots offering adventure-seekers a front-row seat to all the park's recreational opportunities. We're partial, of course, to the floating cabins.
There's nothing like a day on the water, and these cabins provide the perfect home base for your adventures on Green River Lake. Will you be tubing or jet skiing? The world is your oyster -- and Green River Lake is yours!
They're quite nice inside, too, boasting all the comforts of home in a cozy little waterfront package. You'll find amenities including queen-sized beds, pots and pans, a toaster, microwave, full appliances, cable TV, and more.
These truly are the nicest cabins you'll ever stay in... they all come with a personal deck outfitted with a table, chairs, and grill, and we can't imagine a better way to spend an evening that right here, drinking in the scenery.
So what do you think… is this houseboat on Green River Lake not the ultimate Kentucky adventure? Learn more and book your boat at the Holmes Bend Marina website. And be sure to visit the Green River Lake State Park website or Facebook page for more information, including park hours and entrance fees.
Looking for more fun places to spend a summer day in the Bluegrass? Kentucky Lake is one of our favorite spots, and the adventures there are endless!
