This is one of the two homes we have situated on Faubush Creek - Lake Cumberland. Faubush Creek is better than ever. We have plenty of WATER for boating, fishing or swimming. Our homes are surrounded by seven acres of frontage property and wooded hillside. It is the perfect location for your Lake Cumberland vacation rental to enjoy with your family and friends. This split level home, with five bedrooms and over 4,400 square feet of living space, offers some of the finest vacation lodging you will find around Lake Cumberland. The view is incredible whether you are taking it in while relaxing on the deck that spans the back of the house or sitting in the hot tub on the walkout porch below.
Main Floor: Foyer, Half-Bath, Living Area (Queen Sleeper), Dining Area, Kitchen, Fireplace, Master Bedroom (King), Master Bath, Laundry
Lower Level: Living Area (Two Futons), Pool Table, Wet Bar, Full-Sized Refrigerator, Bedroom (King), Full Bath (Shower)
Upper Level: Living Area, Two Bedrooms (Each with Two Full-Sized Beds), Full Bath, Twin Bed, Catwalk to Bedroom (Day bed with Pop-Up).
Occupancy - 12 Adults/Children + Up to 8 Additional Children. Owner discretion to allow more than 12 Adults.
Our 2 homes share private, path access, down to the lake. Just beyond the firepit, at Lakehouse I, you will find the 12-by-12 look-out deck. From the deck, you then make your way down approximately 125 steps (with several landings, of course). When you reach the bottom of the steps you will be 1/2 way down the hill. The steps will meet the path. The remaining descent is natural terrain that begins very steep and then a gradually tapers off. The trek down to the lake can be challenging for some and is not recommended for the elderly or those with physical impairments. Once you reach to bottom of the hill there is a picnic/camping area and a cove to swim in or anchor/tie-off your boat.
The lower lake levels have enhanced our cove. We now have a lower grade, gradual shoreline that makes it ideal for walking along or swimming from the rocky shoreline. There is also larger rock area in which to fish from the shoreline.
Our homes are located in Nancy, Kentucky, approximately 25 minutes from the city of Somerset. This Lake Cumberland vacation rental home offers the perfect get-away for up to six couples or three to four families.
Enjoy beautiful Lake Cumberland in the day and relax and enjoy our home in the evening. Bring your own boat or rent one at Lee's Ford Marina or Conley Bottom Marina. A public boat ramp is located just 15 minutes away at Cumberland Point State Park. You can anchor/tie up your boat along the shoreline while you are at our home.
If you find this Lake Cumberland vacation rental too large for your needs or you need additional lodging, we also have another home - Lakehouse II, VRBO 86466 (2,200 square feet) on this same property with four bedrooms, two baths and two living areas.

Why the Owner Chose Nancy
We absolutely love Lake Cumberland. It is the best lake for boating, water-skiing, tubing, fishing...and of course doing the FLOATILLA. The water is deep and clean and goes on for miles. For the most part...very little boat traffic. Lake Cumberland is a man-made lake that his not heavily commercialized...therefore it is surrounded by the natural heavily wooded hillside. There are homes that overlook the lake but they are generally high up on the hillside.
We appreciate the home year round though. It is a great place to get away from reality. The fall is especially pretty when all the leaves are changing color. The spring is beautiful when all the trees begin to bloom. The cool evenings again are great for having a campfire. The winter time it is quiet and peaceful. Its a good place for family and/or friend time.
The Unique Benefits at this House
The best thing about staying at our home is you will get away from the hustle and bustle of life. It takes you to a place to forget about life for a while.
You may also get a little more exercise than normal depending on how many trips you make up and down to the lake. It can be a challenge to climb up/down the staircase and hill to the lake. This of course will make up for all the eating and drinking you will be doing while you are there.
There is a great view for those who don't want to go down to the lake. For those who do not have a boat, but want to explore the lake, there are 2 marina's near by in which you can rent watercraft.
While we don't have telephone service, we still have satellite tv and a stereo system. But don't forget about the hot tub and pool table that will also keep you entertained.
Closest Marina by boat. Really nice rental boats(pontoons boats, fishing boats & jet skis). They will meet you at the Boat Ramp.

Owner's Map of Nancy
We had been houseboaters and campers for many years at Lake Cumberland...Once the kids came along we wanted to share Lake Cumberland with them...but kids needed more space than a houseboat had to offer. They like to explore and run around. Camping gave the kids more freedom, but we also liked having running water, a hot shower, amenities of your home kitchen and of course, a good mattress. Although we are no longer camping...we are very close to the woods and we still build a morning fire or a evening camp fire.
We make several trips a year to Lake Cumberland but when we are not using our home we like to share it with others.

Had a great time at this place. Brother in Chicago, I live in Atlanta and KY was a great meeting place. We had 16 in our group and everyone had plenty of room. Pool table got a good bit of use. We stocked up the fridge in the basement with brews. Their main level/basement/deck stereo system was great! Plugged the laptop in and set the speakers in the basement and jammed out. Place was pretty clean, towels were not see-through, which is a common problem in rentals. I think it was a 50 gallon hotwater tank, I never heard anyone complaint about cold water. Would definatley rent again and suggest to friends/family. I was suprised to see alot of the kitchen was stocked with ingredients, salt pepper, sugar, cooking spray and the like. Grill had an extra propane tank. The owners were accomodating and great to deal with. Got my deposit back in a timely manner.

We had a blast and hope to do it again next year! There were 17 of us and the house was great and had everything we needed for the weekend. The hike down to the water was a litttle tougher than planned but ended up being a great workout! Thanks again!

This house is great. This house is very spacious with more than enough room for our group of 20. We had four families and all of us are ready to go back next year. It is one of the best stocked homes/condos we have ever rented. Plenty of pots, serving pieces, utensils, even extra spices if you needed. All of the bathrooms had hand soap and plenty of towels for our group of 20. It also has a very large yard, big enough for an outdoor game of wiffle ball. The deck is very nice with tables and chairs, even had tiki torches. And the view is beautiful. We had a bonfire, play games inside and out, and we even celebrated a 50th birthday. The lake was great - only downfall is the walk back up from the lake, but the stairs really help. We just took are time coming back up (rested on the way up). There is also a great orchard (Haney's) in Nancy. We stopped by there and got some great apple turnovers. We had a hard time finding a place for our large group, so I would definitely recommend if you have a large group. Thanks for sharing your place.

One of the nicest VRBO's I have ever stayed in. There is SO much room with THREE differerent living rooms. We spent the weekend away from kids with three other couples and we are already planning a weekend trip with kids soon. The walk to the lake is a rough but you don't even need to leave the deck to enjoy the view. I have never been to a house that had so many extras...paper towels, toilet paper, soap, etc. We made the quick trip to the local IGA twice everything you need there if you forget something. We traveled about 20 minutes to Lee's Ford Marina and rented a phontoon for th day at very reasonable prices. Do not hesitiate to book this place for your next lake trip.

The very best Thanksgiving ever. We live in Atlanta and always travel to Kentucky to see relatives on Thanksgiving.The family has about out grown grandmother's house. We decided to give her a break and move it to another place this year. we went scouting for a place big enough. We had 31 that came for Thanksgiving Day. Only 13 stayed the night since most came from Somerset Mt. Zion and Eubank. The Place was just perfect. We had a great time. We hope we can do it again next year. Thank you to the McDonald's You have beautiful home there on the Lake. Nick and Nancy Godbey

What can I say? Upon driving up the driveway we felt we had made the right decision. Upon walking in the door, we knew we had. We just spent a wonderful weekend at your place. Everyone - all 20 of us - was comfortable. And we used every inch of your property. We carried kayaks down to the lake, we grilled, we rested in the hot tub,we cooked breakfast casseroles and lasagna, we played pool, we played games, and we built a bon fire. It was a major success. There were plenty of linens, plenty of cooking utensils, and plenty of room. There is even enough room for privacy when you want it. Thank you so much for allowing us to come.

What a retreat! I am one of three daughters and we all have one toddler-aged child now. Our husbands take turns planning our annual vacation. We usually head to the ocean, but my husband really wanted to enjoy the lake this year. My mother celebrated her birthday there as well. This house was perfect; lots of rooms, well-maintained kitchen, provided supplies, the back-deck, hot-tub, pool table, and the information booklets were so valuable. Conley Bottom, Lee's Ford and the nearby play park were fun spots. A great quiet place to get away!

We had a fantastic visit at the Lake House and it was the perfect getaway for our big group. Everyone had comfortable sleeping arrangements and it was set up for relaxation. It was perfectly located on the lake and a nice access down to the water. It was even close enough to town to pick up the pizza when we were to lazy to cook! We look forward to staying again.

We had a wonderful time at Lake house 1. It was very large for our 4 families and the kids loved all of the toys, games and videos that were left there for them to play with. The hike down to the lake was challenging but all of our 6 kids (ages 2-7) were able to do it (even 80 year old Grandma made the trip!) It was difficult to swim with the kids once we got there but we did have an area to camp out. We ended up renting with Conley Bottom and they were very accommodating with meeting us at Cumberland Point instead of us driving all the way there. I would highly recommend using them as well. We had a great time and will most likely go back there again!
Owner response:Katie is "right on" with all of her comments. The shoreline is rocky and the slope continues on into the lake. It is a little difficult to sit in a chair on the shoreline, but carrying down a noodle or raft and swimming from the shoreline is the way to go if you do not have a boat or jet ski.

We loved both houses, very nice and clean. We had a big group and lots of space to accomodate 18 big adults when you rent both houses. The lake was hard to reach but other than that, great place to rent. A lot of privacy for a big group.
Owner response:Natalie is correct when she states that the lake is hard to reach. Making the trek down the 125 steps and then the steep hill is not so bad... but the climb back up can be a tough work-out for anyone, even those in the best shape. The climb up and down is not recommended for the very young, elderly or those with any ankle, knee, foot or health issues.
