Summer Shoals Cabins

Tranquil & peaceful ... Beautiful property. Cabins, restroom and showers were clean and well maintained. The Hosts were AMAZING!!! Felt like I was on a high priced tour guided vacation. Extremely nice, fun and enjoyable. Would highly recommend for a clean, safe family get a way in a beautiful serene setting.

Summer Shoals has it all!
Charming Hosts, easy check in and access and beautiful views.
The Cabin was comfy and clean.
The area had all you need from picnic table to grill. Bathrooms are nice to have, but a little hike up a hill which is a bit difficult in the heat of summer, however you can drive up to them so no worries there.

We enjoyed the quiet surroundings and the lovely flow of the river. There are several hikes, but being a one night stay we didn't partake this time. We do plan on a revisit.

Thank you Jim and Lora!

Cabins Lock
Shower with cold water
purchase wood and ice on site
Waterfall 1 mile hike 1 way
Bring proper equipment for grille, it's over the firepit so a bit hot. Not a prob for us we had Ov Glove Mitts and tongs that worked just fine. Bring chairs, but can sit at picnic table.
Bedding is covered in plastic, so easy to clean, bring your own bedding.
Cabin can sleep 4 or 5 comfortably (a few adults and kids)
Amish market close by
Beautiful, Beautiful, Beautiful!

Beautiful location, hosts were friendly and helpful. Great fresh eggs. Close to Cumberland Falls and Daniel Boone National Forest. Great for Dog Slaughter Falls. If you could add a hot water shower it would be perfect.

This spot is a gem. It one of those post card get away spots that exceeded expectations. We will be back. Thank you Jim and Lora for hosting your property.

We stayed in one of Jim and Lora's minimalist cabins, and it was perfect. Right on the Cumberland River and secluded, with great swimming, hiking and fishing. Jim and Lora even secured our cabin and camping gear when a surprise storm blew up while we were canoeing. Terrific hosts and terrific experience!

What a beautiful niche of paradise! Hosts are warm and welcoming, friendly and helpful. Great little hikes on their land. Short drive to Cumberland Falls and even more hiking. Coming back to a cozy cabin to rest and eat. Relaxing in the Cumberland River literally steps from the cabin. I sat for hours reading and relaxing in this beautiful place.
