Stay in a Lake Cumberland Lodge
As morning breaks, you wake up and see the waters of Lake Cumberland Lake spread out before you. In the evening, you sit outside and watch the stars as they dance across the sky. The quietness and solitude surrounds you, surprising you with its depth. This is truly possible if you stay in a Lake Cumberland lodge or any of the scenic cabins offered by several companies including Lee’s Ford Resort and Marina.
Your decision to stay in a lodge or cabin or even tent makes it easy for you to prowl the countryside. You can then create your own wine trail while family members and friends head off to enjoy the various attractions, including such things as fishing, houseboating, hiking, golfing and enjoying the best of the region. This is one way to make certain everyone has a chance to do what they like, including history and art buffs. The latter can visit historical sites like Mill Springs Battlefield Museum/Visitor Center and National Cemetery. Here the Union forces won a major victory of the War Between the States in 1862.
