About this property
Merry Mammoth Cabin on 16 Acres with Hiking Trails and Direct Nolin Lake Access
Escape to Nature at the Merry Mammoth Cabin – Your Lakefront Getaway near Mammoth Cave!
Come unwind at the Merry Mammoth Cabin, a charming Amish-built retreat nestled on a private 16-acre woodland paradise along the shores of beautiful Nolin Lake, just minutes from the world-renowned Mammoth Cave National Park. Located in Mammoth Cave, Kentucky, this cozy and well-appointed cabin offers the perfect balance of relaxation, outdoor adventure, and rustic comfort.
The cabin features two comfortable bedrooms and one full bath, with accommodations for up to six guests. Whether you're planning a family vacation, a couples' getaway, or a friends’ trip, you’ll find everything you need for a memorable stay.
Surrounded by nature, the property includes great natural hiking opportunities that wind through the woods and lead to direct lake access, a waterfall and rock formations, providing both adventure and making it easy to enjoy kayaking, fishing, swimming, or simply soaking up the lakeside serenity. After a day on the water, take a short 6-minute drive to Wax Marina, a convenient launch point with boat rentals, fuel, and supplies to enhance your lake adventure as well as Bouy's, a local favorite bar/restaurant.
Nature lovers and explorers will appreciate the cabin’s close proximity to Mammoth Cave, the longest cave system in the world, offering unforgettable underground tours and a rich natural and cultural history. Spend the day discovering awe-inspiring caverns and trails, then head back to your peaceful retreat for a well-deserved evening under the stars.
If you’re a foodie, you’ll be pleased to find a variety of great local restaurants just a short drive away. Whether you're craving classic Southern comfort food, barbecue, or fresh lake-caught fare, there's something nearby to satisfy every taste.
In the evenings, relax on the spacious deck, overlooking the treetops and catching glimpses of the lake beyond. Roast marshmallows and share stories around the firepit, or simply sit back and listen to the sounds of nature all around you.
With its secluded location, proximity to natural wonders and local attractions, and all the merry amenities you could need, the Merry Mammoth Cabin is the ideal destination for your next lakefront escape or Mammoth Cave adventure.
