When you finally get the chance to get away and plan a lake trip in Kentucky, there are many options from which to choose. With miles and miles of lakefront property and a long list of cabins, lodges, hotels, houseboats, and even treehouses to pick from, planning a relaxing vacation can be overwhelming. If you've been eager to plan a visit to Lake Cumberland and want a large, beautiful place to stay, look no further than Look-Out Lodge in Russell Springs. This cabin in Kentucky offers plenty of space, incredible amenities and location, and arguably the best views of Lake Cumberland.

Look-Out Lodge is a classic log cabin in Kentucky that is perched above beautiful Lake Cumberland.

The lake is a popular destination for Kentuckians and out-of-towners who are eager to enjoy its blue water, fun activities, and excellent fishing. This lodge is a great place to call home while you're visiting.

Look-Out Lodge is located within a gated community for ultimate privacy, as well as peace and quiet.

While many places to stay on the lake aren't quiet as secluded, you will feel truly away from it all on this hillside retreat.

From this angle, you can see how the lodge sits above the lake, and why the views are so spectacular.

While it doesn't offer immediate access to the water, there is no better place to watch the sun set over the lake than on this back deck.

The interior of the lodge is just as inviting and offers a cozy atmosphere and plenty of windows for those views.

With over 5,000 sq. ft. of space, there is room to spread out in the lodge. There are multiple living spaces, a large stone fireplace, two kitchens, and two dining rooms.

There are 5 bedrooms available within the lodge, but you have the flexibility of also renting just 3 or 4, thanks to the layout of the cabin. This allows for more affordable pricing, and keep in mind that the cabin has a 12-person maximum.

The game room is also a great feature that everyone will love. You can read a detailed description of the lodge on its website here.

As nice as the interior is, you'll want to spend as much time outdoors as possible.

Even on hot days, the constant breeze on the back deck makes it comfortable. You can rent the cabin any time of year, and the views are always breathtaking.

During your stay, you'll likely want to get out on the water, and that's easy to do.

The closest marina is Alligator II and they are a full service destination that also offers boat rentals. You can relax at your very own lodge in the morning and be out on the water by afternoon.

Rates for this cabin in Kentucky begin at $350/night and vary based on number of bedrooms and dates.

But considering the space you get and those unmatched views, that's really not a bad deal. Round up a few friends and split the cost of a night at Look-Out Lodge on our state's gorgeous Lake Cumberland.
