The galley is complete with Kenmore stainless appliances including a large fridge, ice maker, convection microwave, dishwasher, trash compactor and a five- burner radiant cook top. Beaver Creek The houseboat is kept at Beaver Creek Resort on Lake Cumberland in Kentucky because this marina is close to home and close to work for George, plus it's a great dock where the Robertses have made a lot of friends. "We do a little entertaining, but it can become work after awhile," says George with a smile. "We have some people come stay with us, but we consider ourselves to be weekend boaters."
