Spacious Lake Escape Near Conley Bottom
We had an excellent stay. Our group of 13 had plenty of room and the grounds were amazing. Short trip to the marina where we had a couple boats rented. Great value and would definitely stay again.

Avery Acres
Absolutely fantastic cabin! Great place and host, ready to come back & visit again.

Lake House with Marina Views, Great for Big Groups
We have stayed at this location multiple times. The house is great, and Kelly is wonderful to work with. We plan to return, and if you are coming to the Lake Cumberland area, I highly recommend staying here.

The Lake House at Beaver Creek
It was a very nice place to stay. very quiet and peaceful. Spending time on the deck was the best. could have a couple of foldable chairs that can be taken to the bbq and fire.But it's not that big a deal. Would highly recommend and definitely rent again

Lucky Lake Haven- Hot Tub, Peaceful Retreat
Absolutely worth the trip! Pristine home on a beautiful waterfront property, very well put together space, looks professionally decorated, and looks like it fell off the page of a magazine. Our host was very attentive to details, and responded within 10 minutes every time we had a question. Literally not one piece of negative feedback, and I will absolutely stay again if I'm back in the area! Thank you again Brandan!

Lakeview Hideaway
The house was clean and just as pictured. It was stocked with all necessary amenities. The view from the porch was very nice and peaceful. Lots of wildlife (most notably was a red fox and indigo bunting blue bird). Very quiet neighborhood, and very relaxing. Amanda and Jarran were both responsive and helpful. Would not hesitate to stay here again! We had cell service there with Verizon, but data on our cell was spotty. However, the wifi at the house worked flawlessly (so, no issues there). We stayed during an off-season. Would like to visit again during the lake season to better explore lake Cumberland and do some boating etc.

Cumberland lake house w/ hot tub
My first time getting an airbnb and I say it was a success! I tend to be the cautious type of person so the idea of an airbnb was something I was effy about but since my family was there I was a bit more open! Jordan’s place was a pretty good match for me and my family since we had a few people that would be staying in! They had multiple bedding options and a comfy living room! If you needed anything (rags/towels extra covers, few kitchen supplies) it was there! Since it was extremely cold outside we couldn’t enjoy the outside but that’s okay! I honestly wouldn’t mind staying there again!

Buggs Cabin- water view & close to town and lake
I had a wonderful time at this Airbnb! The beautiful surroundings and peaceful nature made for a perfect getaway. Waking up to the joyful sounds of morning birds added an extra touch of magic to our stay. A huge thank you to our host, Michelle, for providing more than we needed and keeping the place nice and clean. I highly recommend this spot for couples—it's private yet conveniently close to markets and restaurants. A truly delightful experience!🙏

Cozy Hillside Cabin
This cabin was perfect for our stay! We rented the cabin for the weekend to celebrate our friend’s wedding! Casey was super responsive and helpful with any questions we had and gave very descriptive instructions about how everything works which made it easy to navigate the checking in/out process. The cabin was very clean and nice. The location of the cabin is a bit out of the way but it is in a gated community which made our stay feel very safe! I would definitely stay again and highly recommend it!

Came down for the weekend and was perfect for 2 of us. Super clean, great view and firewood provided!! The price is very affordable and definitely will be staying in it in the near future!

WALK TO WATER on Lake Cumberland with public dock.
Wonderful place great views

23 Acre Lake Cumberland: Boats & Fishing Oasis
This was a great home base for our trip. From here you can get to most of the “major attractions” around the state in under 2 hours. Very clean, comfortable, and well stocked. Smaller than I expected, but it was fine for the 4 of us. The house is closer to the road than I thought it would be. There was some road noise occasionally, but not anything too irritating. Because of the way the house sits, you don’t really see the traffic. It is away from town so it does feel rural, but close enough to go out in the morning for AMAZING donuts at Amon’s or anything else you could think of. I was impressed by the variety of options!
Your guide to Lake Cumberland
All About Lake Cumberland
Set in the naturally beautiful wilds of central-western Kentucky, Lake Cumberland is officially a reservoir, fed by the mighty Cumberland River. However, don’t be led astray by a technical label: Lake Cumberland is one big, fun, soaking wet good time, especially during the warmer months of the year. From the marinas to the brewpubs to the falls to the forests, the entire region is a vacationer’s paradise, and an ideal destination for an extended stay. Another Lake Cumberland claim to fame? World-class fishing. If you’re one who likes to bait the hook and cast off from the shore or from a boat, you’re in the right spot. Many of Kentucky’s record-size fish have been landed at Lake Cumberland, including striped bass, sturgeon, sauger, bream, catfish, walleye, and brown, lake, and rainbow trout.
The best time to stay in a vacation rental in Lake Cumberland
Summer is the superstar of the Lake Cumberland calendar. The weather, waterborne activities, lakeside fun, sunbathing, fishing, hiking, and seasonal festivities like the 4th of July celebration are just that much more enjoyable during summertime. But the other seasons have plenty to offer as well: fall is an especially beautiful time at Lake Cumberland, as the foliage changes color, the crowds thin out a bit, and that slight briskness in the air makes you want to cozy up. If you don’t mind the cold, winter has its own rewards as revelers, locals, restaurateurs, and business owners roll out the red carpet for seasonal holiday celebrations. And spring is simply magical in this part of the world, as the entire landscape erupts with life and activity. Whatever the season, there are plenty of lake cabins for rent to ensure a cozy stay.
Top things to do in Lake Cumberland
Explore Daniel Boone National Forest
A nature lover’s delight, Daniel Boone National Forest spreads across the entire region, offering outdoor escape and adventure for anyone who likes to get out and explore. Natural features include waterfalls, arches, wildlife, rivers, lakes, wetlands, and, of course, untrammeled wilderness.
Spend the Day at the Lake Cumberland State Resort Park
The official state park of Lake Cumberland is located on the northern shore, and adds a good 3,100 acres to the lake’s 50,000+. The park hosts a couple of lodges, a restaurant, cottages, a campground, a country store, a gift shop, and a marina. Activities are endless: you can launch your boat, take a swim, hike a trail, take a guided horse tour, and play some frisbee golf, tennis, basketball, shuffleboard, and volleyball. Phew!
Take a Boat out to General Burnside Island State Park
Claiming its fame as Kentucky’s only island park, General Burnside Island State Park is located smack dab in the middle of Lake Cumberland, and is only accessible by boat (unless you happen to be a really, really good swimmer). This fun, unique destination-within-a-destination offers camping, golf, and, at the risk of sounding obvious, tremendous lake access.
