Beautiful forested lake house at Mammoth Cave

Great Lake house set in the trees, very peaceful. We were in the area to visit Mammoth Cave. Nice place to stay, as we were with family and would have been separated had we stayed at the lodge, so worked out well. Would stay there again.

Perfect family getaway

This property was so clean, accommodating, and had so many things to do, we didn’t even want to leave the cabin! The Nolin State Park beach is so close, and my kids loved it! Thank you, Steve for being awesome, and providing such a beautiful space for us to make fun memories!

We loved the property except it was farther from Mammoth Cave than we anticipated. Our kids loved the games and proximity to the lake for swimming. Thanks for a great stay!

Great vacation rental

Property is very nice and quiet far enough away from neighbors to allow my boys to be a little loud outdoors. All the beds are memory, foam and very comfortable. The amenities are great. I really enjoyed the outside deck and patio back. They have a number of DVDs and board games. They don't have a Blu-ray player.

Nolin lake

The home was clean, comfortable and quiet. My kids loved the “forest” backyard to scavenger in. We had nightly fires. We came for Mammoth cave and the Kentucky zoo which were both about 45 minutes away. Nolin lake area was flooded when we stayed so we couldn’t do any hiking but the area looks awesome for summertime adventures. Our stay was very peaceful and the owner was very good at communicating and answering any questions

Short family getaway

The location was secluded and relaxing. Short walk or drive to the lake and beach area. The teens enjoyed playing games and talking around the fire pit. The only downside for us was the beds- the mattresses were harder than our liking.

Great experience

We chose Mammoth Cave as a meeting point to see family friends. It is gorgeous in the springtime. Mammoth Cave is a 40-minute drive away and definitely worth it. Nolin Park is right outside the doors and the lake is just down the street. Great location, a very clean cabin, and beautiful surroundings. We had a great time.

A short visit for Mammoth Caves

“We had an unforgettable stay at this charming lakeside cabin! The serene location provided the perfect escape, and the thoughtful touches from the property owner made it even more special. Our group of eight, including four adults, grandparents, and two young boys, felt right at home. The kids were overjoyed with the selection of toys and books thoughtfully provided by the owner. We’ll definitely be returning!”
