Now in our third season! What fun has been had and memories made at the Cumberland Retreat!
Beaver Dam Lake is a fully recreational lake. This retreat is located on the "quiet" side, yet is fully recreational. There is great year round fishing, skiing, boating, water craft and winter fun that awaits you. There is a dock/pier and boat lift for your convenience that is available to you as well.
The home itself is spacious and updated. Whether you are a small family hanging out, a group scrap booking, or a larger gathering of friends and family, there is perfect space for it all. The main level has large rooms to accommodate the whole clan. When it's time to slow down, there are separate spaces for everyone to enjoy peace and quiet, games, and movies! 2600 feet of relaxation and great space.
On the main level: Kitchen, large dining room (seats 8), living room (with fireplace), large 4 season porch (with additional table for 8 and two futons), master bedroom, 2nd bedroom and full bath.
On the lower level: Family room (with fireplace), 3rd bedroom (with bunk beds) laundry room, and a 3/4 bath.
When (or if) you decide to venture out from "The Retreat," there is plenty to do in town. Walk to restaurants/bars, the grocery store, go antiquing, enjoy the playground close by, or cruise in your car to nearby towns and attractions, including the Casino a quick 10 minutes away. Or, bring your bikes to get around on marked paths. Award Winning Louie's Meat Market is minutes away too.
We have a brand new movie theater three blocks away!! Come check it out!
Come enjoy our beautiful little town of Cumberland and all that it offers.

We had a wonderful time in your great lake home. We LOVE Cumberland and really appreciate you renting to us for a few days on very short notice. We had great weather and could not have had a better time! The house was perfect for the three of us, and we will definitely look at returning. Our 3 day weekend went by much too fast, but we have some great memories and photos. The fishing was good too! Thank you!

We really enjoyed staying in your beautiful home. Thanks for all the touches of "home" and all that you supplied for us. The yard was a great place to play, sit by a fire, or catch some rays. On kids had fun plying in the water and everyone enjoyed fishing. This was a great find and we wish you much success with renting out your home.
