Relaxing Lakefront Getaway Near Marina, Park, & Town

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.

Do you have life jackets or other equipment available? We do not. You will need to provide your own equipment or contact Lee's Ford Marina about rental rates.

Is your home pet-friendly?
It is! However, there is a $100 pet fee per stay and we allow only 1 pet. Your pet must be under 50 pounds. You must agree to these rules: pet must be leashed when outside the home, pet must be crated when alone inside the home, pet will not be permitted on furniture or beds, Guest will provide a pet bed during stay, all waste must be cleaned up and disposed of properly by Guest, pet must be housebroken, pet must be on a flea/tick prevention during stay.

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!

Wonderful stay
Great place for small groups. Bedrooms and loft felt private. Slope of ceiling might make it a little challenging for adults to climb stairs to loft but definitely doable. My father in law stayed in the loft and he is over 6ft. It would be perfect for kids. The deck is gorgeous. Living area is comfy. Layout makes it easy to hang out, play games, and cook all together as a family. Bathroom door is barn style and the track could probably use some tlc. The shower is lovely. Would absolutely stay again.

Lovely & comfortable
This was the 3rd time my sister & I have stayed here for 3 days & nights while visiting friends in the area. Every stay has included clean, comfortable and convenient amenities (linens included), and we very much enjoy the large deck with a charming view of morning mists and flaming sunsets reflected over the winding tributary of Lake Cumberland to enjoy while grilling out, or while just sipping wine around the fire pit. After dark, the dead end lane is quiet, and the house offers indoor entertainment with strong wifi, smart TV, movies & games before retiring to well appointed beds. We’ve stayed several times now and no doubt will do so again.
