About this property

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.

We stayed at this property for Lakefest. It's quiet, clean, and close to Clarksville. Loved the shady, private walk to the beach and all the amenities. Such a quiet cove for small children to swim and enjoy the water. Internet was spotty, but otherwise great stay!

Wonderful house, very nice owner!

The stay here was great! The house is even nicer than the photos! A lot of bedrooms and sleeping options. The game room was a great touch! Very close to Clarksville so easy to go to the restaurants. Owner was very helpful and thoughtful. Very close to Bluestone Boat Ramp which is a plus if you want to boat or fish! Would definitely stay again!!!

Went with family and friends. Two boat docks came in very handy. It was a bit of a walk to them but on a nice trail. Everything was as listed and the hosts were prompt and courteous. We may be returning in the spring for more fishing.

Our lake stay

We really enjoyed our stay at this home on Buggs Island Lake (Kerr Lake). The beds were comfy and there were plenty of cooking supplies. The home is large so you don't feel like you are on top of each other. The kids (and adults) really enjoyed the ping-pong, air hockey, and bumper pool. The dock at the lake was very nice. My grandson caught his first fish! We swam in the lake and enjoyed boating and wake-boarding. Great mini-vacation!

Another successful fishing trip

This is our third or fourth time staying here. Convenient location on bluestone creek. Close to Clarksville and within 15-20 min and shorter of all popular boat ramps. Plenty of boat parking for 4-5 boats. This is a must for a large group, no unhooking. This house has all the amenities one could ask for. All the kitchen utensils, two refrigerators, a grill, and much more! Thanks again Mathew for hosting us. You will see us again.

Mixed ☹️

Cons-Upon arrival you are greeted with 5 boxes of linens that you need to use to make up the beds. Some bags were labeled incorrectly and there was no color coding or system to match linens to beds other than to pull each one out and try to fit it on the bed. Who wants to fish through bags of linens to match sheets to beds after a long travel day? At almost $400 a night, off season, I think the sheets should be on the beds. No gas in grill, had to go out and buy. 2 dishwasher pods left for a Thanksgiving weekend stay, so again, we had to go out and buy. Weak WiFi so we couldn’t stream a movie. Dated decor-like your grandparents’ camp. Pros-lots of space in house and yard. Lake is short walk away. Fire pit had logs for use. Quiet neighborhood when neighbor dogs aren’t barking.

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.
