The kitchen has everything you need to make tasty meals and snacks - just bring groceries!
The kitchen onboard has all the amenities of your kitchen at home, with a full-sized refrigerator, stove, oven, toaster, coffee maker, and all the dishes, utensils, and pots and pans you need. You won't miss your kitchen on dry land at all!
When you're ready to snuggle in for the night, you'll find several cozy cabins that offer plenty of privacy.
The queen-sized beds are comfortable and pillows and blankets are provided; however, you’ll need to bring your own sheets and pillowcases with you. So when it's time to hit snooze, everyone can have their own space to relax and get a good night's rest.
Use the BBQ on the deck to grill up some steaks, then sit back and relax as you cruise the lake. The awning keeps you shaded from the sun, and you can stock the 150-quart cooler with soda and beer to quench your thirst. We don't blame you if you stay docked and chilling in the harbor the whole trip, but one fo the perks of the houseboat is that you can take it for a spin, tour around, and see all different sides of Lake Cumberland.
The deck has plenty of lounge chairs for basking in the sun, too.
If you're looking for cheap houseboat rentals on Lake Cumberland that make for a memorable getaway, you don't need to look any further. Mission accomplished.
When you're ready to cool off in the lake, just hop on the slippery slide...
Your family will love playing in the waters of Lake Cumberland, which reach balmy temperatures of around 80 degrees in the summer. It's always comfortable out on this beautiful and pristine lake.
