Somerset and Pulaski County combine the "vacation lifestyle" that surrounds majestic Lake Cumberland, with a robust events calendar, family fun, even the Arts, in a community that still believes in being a good neighbor.  We're home to one of the largest man-made lakes in the United States with more shoreline than the state of Florida.  We're a retirement mecca for baby-boomers seeking a moderate climate and an incredibly low cost of living. Somerset is the 42 multi-county "regional hub" for healthcare, entertainment, education, shopping, technology and recreation, so there’s a lot to do.

Special thanks to Jared Nugent, pilot, and Dennis Bolton at the airport, for our aerial photos, especially of these beautiful photos of our glorious countryside and the lake! 

Our Historic Downtown square has a quaint "roundabout" with charming art and sundry shops, our 2008 Pulsaki County Library, and is set amidst historic homes and hills, and Somerset High School and its school district – a brisk morning walk and a stop into one of the coffee shops makes for a wonderful start to the day.

Here you can drive to a state park to one of only two waterfalls in the world that make a "Moon bow" (the other in Africa), past fresh produce stands, to your “mountain cabin,” or past horse farms and ranches. Imagine a relaxing, cool fall day with the warm sunshine and the top down in your convertible…
