All the comforts of home By Beth Underwood
S
ome say if you’re lucky enough to live at the lake, you’re lucky enough. Dale Hollow Lake regulars Buford Coke and his brother Jeff are inclined to agree. Buford said they’ve been regulars at Dale Hollow Lake—particularly at Wolf River Resort and Marina area, for some 62 years now, with no sign of stopping. “We started coming in 1957,” he said. “My brother was six-months-old and I was four. We’ve been coming here all our lives.” The brothers are following in the footsteps of their
grandfather, who started coming to the area when the lake was first built. Today, Buford and his brother have neighboring homes at Wolf River. While that may not be unusual for die-hard lovers of Dale Hollow Lake, there are aspects of their setup that are quite unique. Buford’s home is technically in Tennessee, while Jeff’s is in Kentucky — yet they’re stone’s through away from each other. Another less common aspect is the fact that they live in mobile homes.
