Picture of the Day: Lighthouse Landing and Kentucky Lake (Gorgeous Even in Winter!)

March 11, 2019 by Joi Sigers Leave a Comment

Lighthouse Landing and Kentucky Lake, Winter 2019

I haven’t been doing the Picture of the Day for some time now. I’m sure you’ve noticed that this Kentucky Blog is less active in the winter. Mainly because WE’RE less active in winter! Seriously, when I say we don’t go anywhere, I mean we DON’T! GO! ANYWHERE!

I’m kicking it back into gear, here, with a photo from one of our favorite places in the state: The lookout spot at Lighthouse Landing – looking out over gorgeous Kentucky Lake. Grand Rivers and Kentucky Lake are beautiful year-round – as the rest of Kentucky is. It’s simply not as fun to get out and admire it when it’s cold.

Fortunately, the weather experts assure me it will begin getting warmer soon. I cannot wait! Now that the end of winter is within reach, there will be more posts, restaurant reviews, and pictures of the day.

How wonderful is it to see the trees budding out?! I just love everything about this time of year! ~ Joi (“Joy”)

Video: Kentucky Lake Magic at Lighthouse Landing

August 7, 2015 by Joi Sigers Leave a Comment

[youtube id=”MzUMvtymfI8″]

While this video is shorter than a cat’s nose, it gives you an idea of just how peaceful and perfect a day at Kentucky Lake can be.  Michael and I were hanging out on the deck overlooking Kentucky Lake, at Lighthouse Landing.  It was a gorgeous summer day with a wonderful breeze (that’s what you hear in the video).

The moment begged for a little video, so I obliged.

Grand Rivers is an uncommonly special place. It’s a beautiful “village” between Lake Barkley and Kentucky Lake. Minutes from Land Between the Lakes and Kentucky Dam Village State Resort Park, you’re literally surrounded by things to do, see, and photograph.

When most people think of Grand Rivers, they think of Grand Rivers Variety (at Badgett Playhouse), Lighthouse Landing, Green Turtle Bay, the Fudge Factory (YUM!) and Patti’s Settlement (legendary Kentucky restaurant).

While I have nothing but mammoth love for each of these places, when I think of Grand Rivers, I think of moments. Moments like the one captured in the video.

Patti’s 1880’s Settlement in Grand Rivers Wins TripAdvisor Award

June 18, 2015 by Joi Sigers Leave a Comment

Pattis 1880's Settlement
 

Patti’s 1880’s Settlement
Congratulations are in order for Patti’s 1880’s Settlement in beautiful Grand Rivers! The legendary Kentucky restaurant has received the TripAdvisor “Certificate of Excellence Award” for 2015.

“We are honored to receive this award again from our customers,” said owner Chip Tullar. “We strive to make Patti’s “That Special Place” and we are happy that our customers agree,” he added.

The prestigious Certificate of Excellence award recognizes establishments that consistently earn great TripAdvisor reviews from travelers. TripAdvisor is the world’s largest travel site with 340 million visitors each month and offers advice from millions of travelers worldwide.

Started in 1977, Patti’s 1880’s Settlement was originally known as Hamburger Patti’s Ice Cream Parlor. The restaurant was a block building that was part of a 6-unit motel. With 20 seats, the motel units quickly gave way to become dining rooms. In 1990, Mr. Bill’s Restaurant was added to accommodate bus tours and to add more seating.

The two restaurants serve over 350,000 people each year in a town of 350 people!

Picture of the Day from Beautiful Grand Rivers

Green Turtle Bay Marina
 

When God created Grand Rivers, Kentucky, He outdid Himself. Literally everywhere you look is a photograph waiting to be snapped!

This Village Between the Lakes lies right between Lake Barkley and Kentucky Lake and is one of our favorite places in the world.

It’s one of the most beautiful spots in Kentucky to get away from it all, kick back, and just enjoy being alive.  Put another way… it’s a great place to Live, Love, Lake!
