About this house rental

Nestled in a Kentucky Lake Penninsula in Buchanan, Tennessee, this quaint, country cottage has a dazzling view with a back patio and steps leading right to the water's edge. Fish for bass, catfish, and bluegills right from the large, private dock or just set back and enjoy the nostalgia of a cabin that once was the getaway place of Merle Kilgore. One of Nashville's greatest country music industry music moguls and a multi-hit songwriter, Merle used to come here all the time to write and to relax. Sometimes even stars like Hank Williams Jr., Kid Rock, Uncle Kracker, and others would end up hanging out here with Merle at this quiet, lazy, lakehouse retreat. Affectionately named 'The Boogie Shack', there are still many pictures of Merle and various celebrities on the walls so that you can enjoy the place's history. It'll almost make you feel like you are staying at a little, waterfront museum. Conveniently close to the the Paris Landing State Park, you really just can't beat the location. It's rather spacious, too. Having the capacity to sleep twelve with 5 pull-out beds(4 doubles and 1 queen-size), one four-post bed(also a queen) in the main bedroom, a large living room with cable TV, a complete kitchen, a bathroom with a shower, and a washer and dryer, you'll have everything you need. Whether you are planning a family vacation or a fishing trip with your buddies, boogie on down to the Boogie Shack. You won't be disappointed. Please contact me at 1-731-388-4144 if you have any questions.

The online pics are old…this property is in need of upkeep, cleaning, and updated pics. I feel like I got catfished via VRBO rentals. The grass was overgrown and the place looked abandoned, and then on our last day some stranger in a white van showed up at 8am on Sunday morning to do the yard. This cut into our privacy and the peaceful environment was ruined. Inconsiderate to us after paying 1000 for a long weekend. Also…it was filthy dirty inside. The sheets had blood stains (I slept on towels the first night) and there is dog hair all over the floor and furniture. This place is OVERPRICED for what it offers. Don’t stay at the Boogie Shack.

Beautiful location. Would be a great couples getaway. Will be super nice when the boat dock repair is complete. Hope to stay again soon.

Quiet older place in good condition. Cool location on the water. Had the boat dock been repaired since the tornado it would have been perfect for our trip. But that was a minor inconvenience with several marinas near by.

Second Stay at the Boogie Shack
Second Stay at the Boogie Shack
This was our second visit to the Boogie Shack this year. We're from central IL, so it is a great spot to meet up with our Nashville friends for a relaxing weekend. The Boogie Shack has a lot of character which we enjoy. We've had 5 in our party for both visits and have let a couple sleep in the one bed while the others used the couches and/or blow up mattresses. The deck has ample room and is where we spent most of the time eating and drinking if we weren't down hanging out at the dock. Overall, it's a solid bang for your buck place to hang out with friends for the weekend. Nothing too fancy - just a cool, clean cabin on the water with a great view.

Location is perfect with awesome views over the lake. Perfect little getaway cabin! I was a little disappointed with no AC but the weather was cool for the most part...

Awesome place to stay with lots of country music history. We had everything we needed and the covered boat slip right out the back door was wonderful.
