About this property
Entire place
You'll have the entire home to yourself and will only share it with other guests in your party.
Cozy Studio home 10min from Murray and 20min from Ky Lake
1 bedroom 1 bath studio home built and decorated by us! Only 10 minutes form Murray and 20 minutes from the lake. Great for a weekend stay or long term. Enjoy the peaceful outdoors with a warm cup of coffee on our outdoor patio, watch the fireflies, or spend some downtime in our cozy but large studio style home with a nice reading nook and a large enough couch for 5 to relax. There's a king size bed in the bedroom, room for a guest or two to sleep on the couch and plenty of floor space to bring some blow up mattresses. Our home is located in a nice neighborhood about 20 minutes from the lake and 10 from Murray, KY. Our yard and home is very peaceful but it is not a cabin in the middle of nowhere, we do have neighbors. Our nearest neighbors are roughly 75 yards away but share a driveway. Please view all photos and read full descriptions including house layout and sleeping arrangements before booking.

The owner never contacted us to check to see if we had any problems getting in or any problems with the place. The pictures that are listed are not the same as reality. Dirty. I understand accidents happen and owners do not have time to replace things but to put toilet paper on blinds to cover up a hole - REALLY!!! I think the place has potential but it needs some work and maybe change the pictures on the profile. The bed was awful. No support at all. The hairdryer barely worked on high. Also please have neighbors attack dogs locked up at night and day time. Not impressed with this Cozy Studio in Alma, KY. Would love to have a refund.

Jonathan and Megan are amazing hosts— thoughtful, responsive, and just all around wonderful folks. The property is always clean, comfortable, and well appointed. Our family enjoyed being so close to Murray, yet removed from the town enough to enjoy the wooded and peaceful location. The patios are delightful to enjoy a morning cup of coffee or an evening to watch the fireflies. Our 12 year old son loved the larger living room area to spread out for his space. The kitchen has everything one needs for eating in. The table is nice for a family meal and the counter seating is plentiful and perfect for a family game of Uno! Thank you for opening your home, Jonathan and Megan. We will most certainly be back!!!

Delightful property
I was visiting family in the area and this property was perfect. It was very clean and well equipped. The host was very responsive to inquiries. The location is exceptionally quiet which is so important to me as a light sleeper.The king bed was comfortable. The bedroom and living room are spacious. In a nutshell, it matches the pictures perfectly!I would definitely recommend this property.

Lovely spacious house
I came in for a family funeral and while the reason for my trip was sad, I’m very happy to have found a new home away from home for my future visits to Ky! The home was very clean, well equipped and super roomy. The kitchen and bath had everything you might need for a long term stay. I really loved the privacy and outdoor space. When I asked to extend my stay for an extra night, the host was very quick to respond. Will definitely look forward to staying here again.

Private Getaway
We liked our stay as it was close to Murry, great size and a private location. The place needs some fine details. It needs power washed on outside, only has a rain shower head which is hard for women to wash hair and the outside seating is dirty. It has potential to be a great place.

This spacious open floor plan cottage sits back off the road, next to a creek. The grounds are kept up, and the house is clean and tidy. The open floor plan is perfect for everyone to stay together, interact, and have lots of conversation. This was our fifth stay at this property, we really do enjoy it. conveniently located to lots of things around the lakes, not far from the marina or Patti’s, Just a few minutes from Murry. Dollar General just 1/2 mile away for those forgotten items. Looking forward to our next stay!

Fantastic Cozy Cabin
My family and I had a wonderful stay at the Cozy Cottage this Father’s Day weekend. The accommodations were perfect for our needs and we were truly amazed at the amount of space! Traveling with a 17 y/o, an 11 y/o, my husband, myself, and our dog — we all had plenty of room to spread out and relax. Even the teen was pleased! ;)
The property is absolutely fantastic for location to Murray yet just outside of the town to enjoy the peace of the outdoors. This was my favorite part!
We stopped in Murray to visit MSU and enjoyed all the great shops while there. We also went to LBL and enjoyed the outdoor recreation that it offers. My daughter and I also took a little drive to Nashville, TN one day—leaving the guys at home. Aside from the college visit and access to Kentucky Lake, I believe that was her favorite part of the trip!
Thank you so much for your hospitality, Jonathan! We are already looking forward to our next stay!
Cheers!

So few things are “as described” but this place is just that. Location is close to town, everything works as intended and it’s a no fuss experience. It’s our go to place when we visit Murray.
