About this property

Cabin 1 at Cedar Key - Perfect lakefront getaway!

'Cruising Altitude' is a peaceful waterfront cabin on no-wake cove. Perfect for swimming, floating, kayaking, canoeing. Dog friendly!

Beautiful and relaxing setting with a spectacular view. High speed internet for remote working.

Safe, quiet cove is ideal for water activities. The main channel is short boat ride away for high-speed fun. Last in the row of 10 identical cabins. Peaceful and beautiful year round. Quiet and cozy in winter, brilliant green spring foliage and vibrant fall colors.

Dock is shared the dock with neighbors in Cabin 2 (if occupied).

Kayaks or canoes are not available at the property and there is no boat ramp, but Mitchell's Marina has rentals and ramp, about 10 min drive away.

-GUESTS MUST BRING LINENS (sheets, bath towels, band towels, washcloths, dish towels, etc.) They are not provided.
-Guests must remove own trash; directions for recycling and trash site are posted and are 5 min drive away.
-I ask guests to tidy up to a reasonable amount upon leaving. Please wash dishes and stow them. A vacuum is available for excessive pet hair or messes.
-$10 fee for each trash bag left behind (housekeeping charges for trips to local refuse site), $10 fee per room where “above and beyond” cleanup is required.
Our prices include all fees. No hidden fees.

We love this cabin! It’s cozy, pet friendly, and perfect for our family. Best of all is the view from the deck in the morning watching the sun rise and drinking coffee. Love that it’s off the main lake just enough to enjoy the calm waters. Perfect for the chaos of fun our family brings jumping into the lake. And the host is amazing, goes above and beyond for her guests 3

We loved that the cabin was right on the lake and very peaceful. The entire cabin decor was centered around a theme that was so cute! No spoiler alerts here...you must see for yourself. The kitchen was well appointed with everything I needed and I LOVE to cook. Very clean and overall worth the visit. The host was very kind and thoughtful in her communications during the entire process. We loved the small quaintness of the cabin. It was perfect for my husband and I and our dog.

Why 'Cruising Altitude'?

Everyone who has flown knows that when you reach cruising altitude, you can sit back, relax, move about the cabin. 'Cruising Altitude' came from my career as a pilot. While I'm still at work, I can relax a bit 35,000 ft when I'm at cruising altitude. But my favorite altitude is at 800 ft, which is where you stand at Smith Mountain Lake’s water level.

To me, my cabin is much like flying – there is a sense of peace and quiet and solitude. My cabin home here is the closest I can come on the ground, to matching the amazing view from the cockpit. My lakeside cabin has a distinct advantage that Canine Copilots are eagerly welcome.

Welcome to ‘Cruising Altitude!’
