The dark green board-and-batten farmhouse at dusk, windows lit and chairs on the covered porch.

A 1945 farmhouse near Lake Cumberland

Older than the lake

The house was here before the water was. Three bedrooms, a game room, and room to park the boat. Safe Harbor Jamestown is down the road, State Dock about fifteen minutes.

A real game room

Not a corner with a board game. Shuffleboard, arcade cabinets and a high-top, for the rainy afternoon and the evening after the lake.

Built in 1945

Wolf Creek Dam filled Lake Cumberland in the early 1950s. This farmhouse watched it happen.

Minutes to the water

Safe Harbor Jamestown is down the road and State Dock about fifteen minutes. Flat room to park the boat and trailer here.

The house

Three bedrooms, one porch, room for six

The farmhouse was renovated top to bottom in 2026 and still keeps the proportions it was built with in 1945. Three bedrooms, one bath, and a game room that earns its keep when the weather turns.

One bedroom and the bathroom are on the main floor; two more bedrooms are upstairs under the eaves. The drive comes right up to the porch, with room for the boat, and the wifi is fast enough to work from if you have to.

Front of the farmhouse in daylight: dark green board-and-batten, standing-seam metal roof, cedar porch posts.

The lake

Lake Cumberland, and the rest of the county

Safe Harbor Jamestown and State Dock for boat and pontoon rentals, one down the road and the other about fifteen minutes. Wolf Creek Dam and the fish hatchery below it, and a dollar store with a grocery section right next door for whatever you forgot to pack.

When the lake is cold

February here is quiet, and that is the point. The game room, the fire pit, a full kitchen and a house you do not have to share. Hunting season, the holidays, and weeks where the only plan is not having one.

Our story

The house came first

It was built in 1945, on a rise above what was then a river valley. Wolf Creek Dam closed a few years later and the water came up behind it, and by the early 1950s the farmhouse was looking at a lake that had not existed when its foundation was poured. Everything around here is named for the lake. This place is older than it.

We bought it in 2026 and spent the year putting it back together: dark green board-and-batten outside, cedar posts across a new front porch, and a full renovation inside that kept the proportions the way they were. We wanted a place worth driving to, not just a place to sleep between boat rentals.

Good to know

How do we get in?

Self check-in. The door code arrives before your arrival and stops working at checkout.

Is the house on the lake?

No. It sits up the hill on KY-92, a short drive from Safe Harbor Jamestown and Lake Cumberland State Dock. You get quiet and a real driveway instead of dock noise.

How many bathrooms?

One full bath for up to six guests. Worth knowing before you book with a big group.

Is it all on one floor?

No. One bedroom and the bathroom are on the main floor; two more bedrooms are upstairs. There are also steps up to the porch. If stairs are a problem for anyone in your party, ask us first and we will talk it through honestly.

Can we bring a dog?

Yes. We are pet friendly. Tell us about your dog when you book.

Are there cameras?

Exterior security cameras cover the driveway and the front entrance. No camera monitors any indoor area and no camera views the interior of the home. There are no cameras or recording devices of any kind inside the house.

What about emergencies?

Russell County Hospital, 153 Dowell Rd, (270) 866-4141. If you call 911, say Russell Springs.
