About this property

OVERSIZED PORCH, LAKE FRONT, Mammoth Cave, Fast WiFi, Firepit, hiking

Lakeside Paradise is a spacious resort cabin located on beautiful Nolin Lake in the Mammoth Cave region of Kentucky. We are open for vacation rentals during the summer months. This 1340 sq. ft. cabin has 3 Br., 2 baths, a fully equipped kitchen, custom oak cabinets, living room with sofa and love seat, flat panel TV, and central heat & air. There is a large covered porch with gas grill and picnic table overlooking beautiful Nolin Lake. All that you need to bring is food and lake towels!!

On Nolin Lake you are able to enjoy swimming, skiing and fishing. Other activities nearby include cave tours, museums, golf, hiking, horseback riding, shopping and live theatre.

We are located only 8 miles from the north entrance of Mammoth Cave National Park and only 30 / 45 minutes away from other show-caves and area attractions

Please be advised Nolin Lake is owned by the US Corp of Engineers and is used for flood control. Lake access is best during the summer as the Corp lowers the lake (25 / 30 feet) starting late October. Due to the flood control aspect of the lake, the walk up and down to the water can be steep and some guest might find it difficult.

Boat parking at the dock is no longer available as the Corp of Engineers restricts rented properties from using a permitted boat dock. There is a boat ramp 1/4 mile away that you can launch and recover your boat very easily with parking at the ramp (parking can be limited on weekends). Swimming is available off the shoreline here, gradual entry and somewhat beachy in front of the house.

Nice stay with basic amenities

We had a nice stay with extended family. The location and view were beautiful. We didn’t realize the two upstairs bedrooms were connected which ended up being ok for our group but may be a deal breaker for some. The general amenities throughout the house are pretty basic, but everything is functional. Overall a decent stay for a decent price.

Beautiful Lake & Mammoth Cave Trip

We loved staying at Paradise Lake House while we spent most of our time at Mammoth Cave - it takes about 35 minutes to drive on enjoyable roads. We were hoping to eat all our meals on the porch overlooking the lake but it was a bit too cool in April until our last day.

Great cottage on the lake!

Stayed at Paradise on the Lake for 3 days during fall break with our family of 5. Loved that everyone had their own bed and a separate bathroom for the kids. The property was very clean and nicely stocked with essentials. Location on the lake was perfect with a very conveniently located boat ramp! Will stay again!

My family had a wonderful time relaxing at this home. We loved the beautiful view from the porch and enjoyed some fishing by the lake. We also saw a lot of beautiful deer around the house in the mornings and evenings, which made it even more peaceful. We spent time exploring the shops in Cave City, and the two nights went by way too fast!The only minor challenge we had was figuring out where to take the trash, and the GPS initially led us to the house at the top of the hill. Thankfully, we were able to find the right place quickly by comparing it to the photos.Fair warning — if you’re out of shape like me, the walk back up from the lake will definitely get you winded, but it’s absolutely worth it. We even caught a large catfish in the short time we had to fish!I would absolutely recommend this place to anyone looking for a peaceful getaway.

My husband grew up on this lake. We spend summers at the lake!

Why they chose this property

We bought this house to use personally and when our girls started in all their activities we decided to rent it out for others to enjoy. My husband grew up across the street and we love to visit the area.

What makes this property unique

Lakeside Paradise is right on the lake and close to Mammoth Cave. There are lots to do in the area. Activities nearby include cave tours, spelunking, museums, golf, hiking, horseback riding, shopping, and live theatre.
