If additional supplies are required, please plan to buy/bring them.• Jo’s Cottage is self-check-in. A door code will be provided prior to your designated check-in time.• While Jo’s Cottage is a single floor, it is not particularly accessible (especially wheelchair) for those with physical limitations, as the entry walkway is tiered down a naturally sloping front access.• This portion of Lake Cumberland is accessed by using the Clearwater public boat ramp (see Clearwater Boat Ramp Notice for more details). The laid-back manner of the Clearwater community is great for a casual stroll as well as appealing for those who want a jogging/running workout. If you’re headed lakeside by foot, a 1-2 minute walk from Jo’s Cottage will take you to the lake access road/public boat ramp; and, in another 4-5 minutes (depending on your physical condition as the ramp is downhill and a bit steep - 30-35% incline) you can be at the water’s edge. The all-uphill return walk provides an energetic workout for those wanting a bit of exercise! Or, you might want to use our approach – send one person for a vehicle while the rest of us splash-around lakeside and wait for a ride up the hill. A picture of the ramp is included in the photo set. You'll find a Jo's Cottage to the Lake walking video on YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=umZ6jEYAkpU Clearwater Boat Ramp NoticeThe Clearwater Boat Ramp is a public ramp, so it is available to anyone renting the property. Please note that renters should not park boat trailers on the ramp or in the parking area adjacent to the ramp. Boat trailers should be brought back to Jo’s Cottage and parked in the designated area.

All boat slips on these two docks are private and are not available for renters.As a heads-up, the ramp to the lake is walkable (for those in good shape) but steep, which makes for a great work-out on the way back up the hill!We invite you to take a few minutes to read through the following sections covering amenities and rental policies for additional details on this rental property.PoliciesSize of partyJo’s Cottage is ideal for two-four but accommodates a maximum of six individuals with beds provided to service this number.• Parties greater than six would be best served by searching for a larger rental option.• Please do not plan to use the living area sofa/couch for sleeping; and, please do not plan to bring sleeping bags, etc. Tents on the outside property are also discouraged.• No campers or motor homes• No events, parties or large gatheringsCampers/Motor Homes/TentsJo’s Cottage is not set up to accommodate campers or motor homes.
