English
We built these cabins in 2017 after a great experience hosting guests on our 50 foot motor yacht on Kentucky Lake. We loved chartering, but decided to find a way to bring our love of our own experiences closer to home. Our goal is to finish with 5-6 cabins and a large pavilion for gathering space.
