Start off by deciding where you want to stay. The Lake Cumberland rentals are made up of cabins and cottages, entire homes, hotel rooms, and gorgeous lake views so having to choose will definitely be the hardest decision to make. No matter where you choose, you can not go wrong. The privacy at Peaceful Valley Lake & Cabins will give you a small cabin with quaint surroundings and the most darling little pond that you can fish on or take a romantic stroll around with the one you love. You can get cozy in a hot tub at Fort Wahoo and enjoy a romantic evening alone. You can head out to the beautiful, scenic Lake Cumberland State Resort Park where you can enjoy the indoor pool and hot tub, play a round of golf, or even go for a hike through the spectacular trails they offer throughout the park. If you want to go somewhere that you don’t have to leave, Timber Pointe Resort is where you want to be, offering a warm, homemade breakfast, lunch and Dinner right outside your room, coffee, lattes, and milkshakes made to order and the sweetest little boutique, you will have a wonderful Valentine’s Day get-a-way there.

When deciding where you want to stay is checked off the to-do list, you will want to make sure you enjoy all we have to offer here in Russell County. Spend the day at Kendall Park at the Wolf Creek National Fish Hatchery or a romantic walk around their trails and even camp if you feel like making Valentine’s Day a little more adventurous.
