THE KENTUCKY KAJUN

A Lakeside Experience in the hills of Southern Kentucky with a Kajun flare

About us

The Kentucky Kajun is a log style cabin on the banks of beautiful Barren River Lake. It can sleep 14 adventurous souls and is often our family get away as well.

We moved to Kentucky from Louisiana in 2021 and wanted to share a love for our new home and the surrounding woods and waters of the Commonwealth. We still have gumbo and Mardi Gras in our blood, so you might see a few trinkets from the Bayou scattered about when you come!
