Wake House - One of a Kind Floating Home on Lake Cumberland - Boat Slip - Boat Ramp Access - Sleeps 20
Summary:
Welcome to Wake House — a true floating home experience on Lake Cumberland with something that’s hard to find anywhere else: direct dock + boat access right on the water, plus a boat ramp next door for easy launch days. With room for up to 20 guests, this is the ideal home base for lake weekends, group trips, and family gatherings where being on the water isn’t just the view — it’s the whole point.
Guests have the entire place, access to the shared dock/walkways that connect the floating homes, and a boat slip included so you can tie up and get straight into lake mode. A golf cart shuttle makes arrival and departures easy, and full-time security/shuttle support is available on-site if anything comes up.
Pets are welcome, and we do observe quiet hours from midnight–8am to keep the community comfortable for everyone.
The Space:
Wake House is a floating home designed for big groups who want maximum time on the water with minimal hassle. You’ll be staying right on Lake Cumberland, with the ability to step out, access the dock system, and tie up at the property.
Why guests love Wake House:
-True on-the-water experience (not just “near the lake”)
-Boat buoys included for easy tie-up
-Boat ramp in parking lot for fast launch + retrieval
-Sleeps up to 20 (great for groups and multiple families)
-Pet-friendly (additional fee)
-On-site security + shuttle support

There is a communal bath house with showers.
Arrival note: You’ll park in a large parking lot, then use the golf cart shuttle to get you and your luggage to the floating home.
The Neighborhood:
Wake House sits on Lake Cumberland in a unique floating-home community setting. The vibe is a mix: it can feel peaceful and relaxing when you want downtime, but it’s also perfect for lake-day energy with boating, groups, and shared dock access nearby. You get the best of both worlds: easy access to the action, with community expectations that keep nights calm.
Getting Around:
Parking: Large parking lot available
Getting to the home: A golf cart shuttle runs between the parking area and the floating homes
On the lake: Once you’re settled, many guests spend most of their time on the dock and by boat. There are plenty of restaurants on the lake to explore!
