This must have been ‘On Golden Pond’. Or at least at Mammoth Cave KY! Rustic, quiet, earthy with wildlife and nature overflowing! Deer squirrels in abundance! Hiking until your heart is full of peace!! Screened in porch to help you get grounded back to nature, take your shoes off and realize you don’t have a care in the world for a few days. Close to mammoth cave. The owner supplied all the little things that helped make our stay effortless. Kitchen was well supplied, outdoor cooking was supplied. We will be back! You can’t just get this kind of stay and peace at any VRBO.

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.

This house was the BEST spot for our family. As a family of 6, we frequently stay in homes vs hotels. This home fot our families adventurous dynamic with being secluded and only 1/2 mile from the swimming beach and trail head. The house came very well stocked so we could cook all of our own meals. Our kids enjoyed the screened in back porch and fire pit most nights. The house came stocked with board games and toys and movies. While we didnt use those as we brought our own, it was an excellent touch that im sure many families appreciated. Everywhere you go here is a short drive, but the privacy and the closeness to the beach was worth the couple extra minutes. Will definitely be recommending to our friends!

House was very charming but within 1 hour of being at property we killed 2 brown recluse spiders one In the bathroom and one in the kitchen on the counter. Traveling with small children this was highly alarming we reached out to the host who gave us a refund and after a 6.5 hour drive there we left and headed back home .very disappointing

Response from VrboOwner on 28 Jul 2026
All feedback is useful so thank you. While it is unfortunate, it’s also uncharacteristic to have this experience. I can’t speak to the nature of the spiders, but while guests are staying in a cabin located in the woods, it’s not unreasonable for unwanted guests to find their way time to time. The property is treated regularly to discourage all critters but regardless, I can assure you the property has been treated once more out of precaution so we may continue to provide the best guest experience possible. Thank you again.

Just what we expected

Clean, comfortable, and great for our family of five. Was close enough to Mammoth Cave and a short walk to Nolan State Park.
