There’s something about being near the water that instills a sense of peace and tranquility. The babbling sound of the water, gentle chirping of wildlife, and expanse of green and blue color all create the most perfect setting for some R&R. Kentuckians know this; the state is home to numerous bodies of water, and in the summer, our lakes and rivers are full of canoes, kayaks, and boats (Lake Cumberland is the Houseboat Capital of the World, after all). But the Bluegrass State’s waters can be enjoyed all year round, and if you’re seeking a relaxing waterfront retreat, there’s a cottage in Kentucky with its own private pond, and it’s the perfect place to unwind and unplug.

Located just a stone’s throw from Mammoth Cave, this quaint cottage is a destination in and of itself.
