Big Foot's Retreat- is in walking distance of Cumberland Point Recreation Area
New Listing - Welcome to a True Cumberland Point Home. This is the closest vacation home rental to (0.5 mile) the Cumberland Point Recreation Area. Cumberland Point is one of the many hidden treasures of Lake Cumberland. Unlike the Jamestown side of Lake Cumberland, Cumberland Point has not become so commercialized. It still feels like small town USA; "the locals hangout." If you would like a break from cooking, forgotten any item(s), or would like to visit some local attractions the small town of Nancy has you covered. Nancy is a quick 15 minute scenic drive from the Point. Nancy offers a variety of breakfast, lunch and dinner options. For your other needs, Nancy has a grocery, pharmacy, hardware store and both a Family Dollar and Dollar General. We also have lots of places you might want to visit. Some of the Nancy attractions are Mills Springs Battlefield National Monument-Visitor Center & Museum, Mill Springs National Cemetery, Haney's Appledale Farm Store and Pulaski County Park (sandy beach). We have a detailed list waiting for you at Big Foot rental. BUT OF COURSE YOU HAVE THE LAKE! At Cumberland Point you can do all of your favorite water activities (fishing, diving, tubing, water skiing, swimming, wakeboarding, etc.). If you're looking to relax, you can drop anchor in one of the many coves and creeks nearby the Point. Less then a mile by boat from Cumberland Point is Newly Renovated Conley Bottom Resort which in itself a day treat. If you would like to rent a boat they have many different types including jets skis. With your rental, for a fee, they will pick you up at Cumberland Point and return you to the Point. Also at Conley Bottom you can find ice, gas, restrooms along with food, ice cream, lake supplies and souvenirs. If you just want to relax, Conley provides many rocking chairs and benches. The historic gristmill at Mill Spring is a quick 10 minute boat ride to their dock. In late spring through early fall they are open daily between 9am and 5pm. On Saturdays, Sundays and Holidays they actually grind corn at 2:00pm.
AND If all that sounds exhausting just stay at the retreat that is nestled in the woods and just stop: turn off the cell phone, smell the woods, take a walk, read a book, or watch the wildlife from our porch rocking chairs. Just don't make eye contact with the Big Feet.
VRBO Location system is bad off I've tried to fix but here is a link for better accuracy: Just copy and paste
The vacation home is air-conditioned and features a kitchen and a patio, and there's space to spread out with 2 bedrooms. Guests can enjoy a Smart TV and stay connected with free WiFi. Other standard amenities include a washing machine, a sofa bed, and a coffee maker.

Perfect getaway
We loved this house! It was very close to the dock for our boat and had plenty of space to park our boat and vehicle. Loved the Bigfoot theme and the snacks left for us were very nice.
