About this cottage rental

Thank you for considering Fishing Creek Cottage. We love our lake house and think you will, too!

Fishing Creek Cottage overlooks Fishing Creek, a popular recreational area on Lake Cumberland & a major arm of the lake. Looking from the deck, Pulaski County Park and its beach and boat ramp can be seen across the lake. Boaters frequent the Fishing Creek area to ski & tube, but are distant enough that noise isn't an issue. Fishing Creek Cottage is located at the end of a quiet street in a residential neighborhood, and is the last house on the street so has relative privacy.

Please read all of the description and "Frequently Asked Questions" before booking so that you are absolutely sure our home works for you. Most of our past guests' questions have been addressed in the "FAQ's."

Guests may not check-in or check out on Easter, July 4th, Thanksgiving, Christmas Eve, or Christmas Day, so please consider that if making holiday reservations.

We have an incredible lakefront view that you can enjoy while grilling dinner on the gas grill, sitting by the fire pit, or watching all of the boating action on the lake just below. The view from our large deck includes the popular recreational area on Fishing Creek, a major arm of Lake Cumberland, and parts of Pulaski County State Park. Our entire cottage has been updated. The kitchen includes a full-size stove, refrigerator, microwave oven, and small-space dishwasher and is fully stocked with cook and dishware, including a toaster, coffee pot, and a Keurig. The great room and bedroom have hardwood floors. The bathroom, which has a shower only, has been completely remodeled. There is ample room for parking your boat in the driveway, as well as at least two cars. The cottage is one mile from Lee's Ford Marina and Harbor Restaurant and just five miles from Somerset. The master bedroom, loft, and great room all have televisions and DVD players and cable and the home has WiFi. There is a washer and dryer for your use.

The deck includes a table with seating for 4 as well as 4 Adirondack-style chairs for use around the fire pit or to just relax and enjoy the view. The master bedroom sleeps two and the loft sleeps two. There is also a toddler-sized cot and booster seat for the kitchen table if needed.

Please keep in mind our cottage is an A-frame with a somewhat steep flight of stairs to the loft. The house might be a challenge for taller folks, and the stairs will be a challenge for anyone with mobility issues.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is there access to the lake from Fishing Creek Cottage?
No. Our home is on a cliff. The best access to the lake in terms of location to Fishing Creek Cottage is at Lee's Ford Marina or Pulaski County State Park.

Is there room for our boat in your driveway?
Yes. We keep our boat in the driveway during our stays. When you book with us, be sure to read the guest info about suggestions for parking your boat.

Is there a dock nearby?
Yes. Lee's Ford Marina is about a mile down the road. You can launch your boat for $8 or dock your boat there for about $30 per night. **On Labor Day weekend 2019 the marina charged $30 for parking and did not have open slips available for overnight storage.** They also have boats, wave runners, and paddle boards available for rental. Fishing Creek Recreational Area is three miles away and is $5 to launch. Pulaski County State Park is 3.9 miles away and they offer free public launching.

Is there swimming nearby?
Lake Cumberland is surrounded by many cliffs. Swimming usually occurs from boats. Nearby swimming is available at Pulaski County State Park where they have a small beach.

What do you provide during my stay? What do I need to bring?
We will be sure you have toilet paper, tissues, dish washing liquid and dishwasher soap. Towels and bed linens are provided. We try and keep extra supplies like bar soap, shampoo, and razors under the bathroom sink just in case you forget them. You may need to supply extra paper towels depending on your usage, laundry detergent if you plan to do laundry, and firewood for use with the outside fire pit. Firewood can be purchased at several local retailers.

Do you have suggestions for things to do or places to visit?
Yes! All of this info is located in a binder in our home, but is also found under "Guest resources" when you book with us. I also add suggestions that I receive from our guests so that our future guests can enjoy the Lake Cumberland area to its fullest!

Had to clean the deck chairs and table and grill before we could use. Dead bugs on ledge in the bathroom not cleaned prior to arrival. Washed bath mat that was very dirty. Garbage can had not been taken to the curb for at least a month cleaned up after raccoons every morning.

I fell in love with this beautiful little cabin, nestled atop a cliff with a spectacular view of Lake Cumberland! I plan to return to the area and will absolutely stay here again. Everything was tidy, thoughtful, and welcoming! It was pure kismet that brought me to this property, and I'm so glad I found it.

This is our second time staying at this adorable a-frame. It is a cozy quiet space at the end of a street overlooking the lake. The hosts are very responsive if there is an issue and we will definitely book another stay in the future.

Very clean and well maintained. Loved the story of the house that the owner left in the house detail binder. Was a good central location to visit some great spots on the Lake. Those details are in the binder. Weather was bad the first day there so everything was wet and we did not get to spend much time on the deck. The property is an a frame and may be a little tight in spots for above average height or general body size. We made it work for us and it was just fine.

Quaint, quiet, natural getaway. Our only issue is the trees in the back are overgrown and need to be trimmed. They obstruct what is a million dollar view of the lake! If the lower canopy of the trees were trimmed to open up the view, the time spent on the deck would have been spectacular!
