THE BLUESTONE COVE RETREAT on Kerr Lake:Gentle Slope/Sandy Cove, Game-Ready Yard

Welcome to The Bluestone Cove Retreat, your premier, family-friendly destination on the quiet waters of Kerr Lake. Unlike the steep properties typically found here, we offer the best combination of easy lake access, a tranquil location, and space for the activities your group desires. Sleeping up to 12 guests across 4 spacious bedrooms, this is the perfect lake home for families and fishing groups looking for quality time and guaranteed comfort.

________________________________________________

★ Three Reasons Guests Choose Bluestone Cove Retreat ★

1. EFFORTLESS LAKE ACCESS (GENTLE SLOPE GUARANTEED!)

Say goodbye to exhausting, steep steps! Our property features a gentle slope from the house to your private dock—making access easy and enjoyable for everyone.

2. PREMIER SWIMMING & DOCK AREA (SANDY COVE)

Enjoy the best of Kerr Lake swimming without the main channel wake. Located in a protected area of Bluestone Creek, our private cove is calm, quiet, and safe for swimming. The lake bottom in our area is notably sandy and gradual, providing a comfortable wading and swimming experience superior to muddy or rocky shorelines. Your private dock is ready for sunbathing, swimming, fishing, and docking your watercraft!

3. THE ULTIMATE GROUP SPACE (GAME-READY YARD)

Outdoor entertaining is effortless here. Our yard is large, flat, and equipped for fun! You'll find a full collection of yard games (Cornhole, horseshoe pits, Kan Jam) ready for hours of friendly competition. When the sun sets, gather around the fire pit area for S'mores and storytelling under the Virginia stars.

The house and property are exceptional. I was primarily on the main floor as I was the one doing the cooking. Having entertainment for the younger crowd helped me a lot when I was finishing dinner. The neighbors are very friendly and helpful. Clarksville in general is a charming town.

Great family lake vacation

We had a wonderful stay at this lake front property. The house accommodated 3 generations of our family. The basement was perfect for the teenagers and kids. They enjoyed the ping pong and air hockey tables. We brought our boat and enjoyed so much time on the water, as well as floating, swimming and fishing from the dock. The communication from the owner was excellent and we highly recommend this vacation rental.
