About the host

Looking for a place to get away from it all, I purchased 🌳Shady Lake Hideaway in June of 2020. Whether my family and I are spending the day tubing, knee boarding, water skiing, fishing, or simply raft floating in the beautiful jade waters of Lake Cumberland, we always enjoy coming back to the cottage to relax, hang by the fire, grill some eats, roast some marshmallows and play a few games before sleeping that deep sleep you get after having a hard day of play.
Being the daughter of an elite Army Ranger, I have had an upbringing that has allowed me to live in different states and countries. No matter where my family and I travel, the simple beauty found amongst nature has always been our most memorable adventures. I believe life is about moments...even the mishaps add to the adventure!

Why they chose this property

I started water skiing when I was in junior high school and many summers were spent on the waters of Lake Cumberland boating and tubing. I grew up and came back with my own family. I toured Jamestown and this cottage with my husband and children. All of my kids liked this property. When we lived in Germany we also lived in a hexagon shaped house. One-of-a-kind seems to catch our attention. Sometimes life is that simple. There was a bidding war and my youngest son told me what he thought the offer should be so we looked like we meant business. My oldest son clinched the deal by choosing our final counter-offer. All 3 kiddos helped choose the name to describe the property. It has been a family affair from the beginning. Some places just have that good vibe! It's just that simple.

What makes this property unique

🌳Shady- The shade from Kentucky's surrounding forest is a huge benefit to the property. Past noon, most of the property is covered in shade and this is the reason why it was incorporated into the name of the property.
🌳Lake- Don't be mistaken, I was drawn to Harbor Springs Drive because it is a stone's throw from the Jamestown Marina. The convenience is top-notch. Life is better at the lake.
🌳Hideaway- The way the cottage and the outdoor spaces fit into the land around it, gives the cottage a comfortable and protected feel. Some of the veteran residents of Harbor Springs Drive have said that the cottage has been called "the nut house", as in hexagonal nuts and bolts, and simply the hexagon house. Either way, it's the only house of this shape on the street. It is our hideaway to get away from it all and enjoy our time together.
Live, Love, Lake!
