About this property

Cabin 1 at Cedar Key - Perfect lakefront getaway!

'Cruising Altitude' is a cozy cabin in a beautiful and relaxing lakefront setting. High speed internet for remote working. Accommodates up to four people, dogs welcome.

Safe, quiet cove is the ideal location for water activities: swimming, floating, kayaking, canoeing. The main channel is a short boat ride away for high-speed fun. Mitchell's Marina is the closest boat ramp and rentals, a 5 minute boat ride and 10 minute drive away.

Set at end of 1.3 mi private road to quiet cul-de-sac tucked in nature preserve. Surrounded by forest with a pristine view of the no-wake cove. The opposite shore is undeveloped wilderness.

Come play, work, fish, recuperate, boat, regroup, swim, relax, hike. Be as active or inactive as you want to be. Bring your boat, golf clubs, fishing poles, hiking shoes, lifejackets, and sunscreen! Share the dock and picnic table with neighbors in Cabin 2 (if occupied).

GUESTS MUST BRING LINENS, BATH TOWELS, WASHCLOTHS, DISHTOWELS, ETC.; they are not provided.

IF YOU PLAN TO RENT A BOAT, there is no boat ramp on site.

Guests are expected 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.

Chad

Very quite and peaceful property overlooking the lake. We were in town for Liberty University graduation. The drive to Lynchburg was well worth it considering the crazy expensive hotel rates in Lynchburg over that time. We were rewarded with beautiful scenery and accommodations for the decision to make the daily drive. I would highly recommend this host.

Favorite new place

This little cabin was just what we needed! It’s in a quiet cove and the last cabin on the road so traffic was not an issue. Definitely plan on coming back, hopefully sooner than later.

Excellent location with splendid lake views. Deck overlooks a quiet branch of the lake. Great place to walk and enjoyed watching the deer from the deck in the morning. Would definitely return.

Lovely and Quiet

This area is simply the best. This cabin is one of maybe a dozen in a small community of cabins. The views are awesome and this cabin is all by itself on one side for extra privacy. No complaints at all! The owner even left a few extra treats (for adults too) which was really kind. Would love to stay again.

We will finitely be back!!

We stayed in cabin 1. It was unbelievably beautiful experience- the cabin, the nature, environment, everything was excellent! The cabin was very clean, the kitchen was fully equipped to cook your own food. We left our heart down there, and will be back soon!

Heaven on water

First and foremost, the location is perfect. This is where you want to be if you want to get away from the hustle and bustle of the city. Technology, and road noise. We rented a boat, and the boat dock was just fine. The boat provides all the creature comforts. I would suggest having a bathroom carpet, and/or bath mat. The floor gets very slippery. We intend to come back next summer as well, hopefully it'll be available.

Beautiful views, quiet, and quaint.

Very relaxing, we chose to eat in since it is not close to any restaurants. Stove needs replaced, pots and pans needed washed before using, rugs needs cleaned or replaced, blinds need dusted, and ceiling logs were dusty, light bulbs need replaced, twin beds uncomfortable for adults and deck umbrella needs relaced. These are our suggestions we have for a future stay.

My stay in Cabin #1

Property need through cleaning. All blinds very dusty beds posts and throughout cabin dusty. Coffee pot had to be clean so we could use it. Deck have leaves and broken limbs. Utensils not clean. Dog treats under couch spoon between stove and counter. All and all we enjoyed, would be a very nice cabin with some attention.

Very thankful

I’m sure it was the best cabin all out of all of them and we enjoyed it greatly even when the weather wasn’t great it was still lots of fun first time I got to grill out with charcoal in a long time enjoyed that immensely the grill might be almost end of life though I’ll definitely like to come again

Idyllic and secluded, perfect escape

Our family of 4 plus our pup had the best time here. The peaceful cove became perhaps slightly less quiet with our boys’ and dog’s delightful antics, but it is the perfect spot to get away, experience nature, and make the best memories.

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.
