This home does have lake access.
This is the perfect place to enjoy a quiet getaway without the busyness of the city! In case you forget something, there are several local mini markets (Webb’s and Sailings) close by and a Dollar General Market about 10 minutes (5 miles) away. One of the local Amish stores has amazing donuts on Saturday mornings and a Walmart is just 30 minutes away in Leitchfield.
Please be advised the US Corps of Engineers own Nolin Lake and is used for flood control. Lake access is best during the summer as the Corps lowers the lake (25 to 30 feet) starting late October. Due to flood control aspects of the lake, the walk up and down to the water is steep, and some guests might find it difficult. Winter pool is 25-30 feet below summer pool. Which makes the lake inaccessible during winter months. During rainy seasons the lake has been known to go 25 ft above summer pool. Also making the lake hard to access. We try very hard to keep the access to the lake available but sometimes the levels change drastically and are hard to keep up. We do the best we can. The water levels can be checked at the Nolin River website.
Owners reside next door and the property has exterior security cameras.
Two dogs (under 50 pounds each) are allowed for a pet fee of $75/trip. Please be sure to add them to your reservation prior to checking out.

Our family had a wonderful visit - the house was spotless and had everything we needed, and the property is beautiful. We especially enjoyed fishing on the boat dock, and roasting marshmallows by the fire pit. The host is very responsive and helpful - definitely recommend!
The place was wonderful. Very clean, pet friendly, and had everything we needed. We visited Mammoth Cave, which was very close, Kentucky Down Under and Louisville. Would definitely stay again!

We are so glad you found our home perfect for your visit and enjoyed your time. It was a true pleasure hosting you. We would love to have you stay again when you return to the area.
Exterior could use a bit of care and it is really close to a bigger home on the property. It’s is a mobile home. But otherwise was wonderful. Clean and well stocked.

We are so glad you found our home welcoming, clean and well stocked. There is another home on the lot next door and their driveways are adjacent to each other. There is plenty of room in the driveway for 3-4 cars for each home and we have parking across the street, as well. Thank you again for staying with us.
It was as lovely as the pictures. It had multiple, great outdoor spaces and stairs down to a private dock. The hosts were extremely responsive through the VRBO app but never intrusive. It was a perfect stay for a long weekend getaway! We'll be back!

We are so glad you enjoyed our home and found it perfect for your long weekend. It was truly a pleasure to host you and would love to host you again, if you return to the area.
If you are looking to get away and enjoy a great view of nature and quite then this is the place to visit. The location was central enough to provide us trips to Mammoth Cave, Lincolns Birthplace and the Underground lost river. We visited the restaurant Steak and Stone in Leitchfield which was amazing. The home had such warm touches and was so welcoming.

Wonderfully clean and well appointed! Loved having the kayaks - lake was low but owners let us port the kayaks to the boat launch area so kind! Great experience!

We are so glad you found our place wonderfully clean and appointed. We love sharing our kayaks with the guests. Thrilled that you were able to use them, even with the water being down. We would love to host you and your family again!
The trailer was elevated and super clean. There were extra blankets for the beds, throw blankets in the living room, Kleenex, qtips and extra sheets. Lots of towels. Very well appointed. Super clean! The river was a lot of fun; clean and warm. They kayaks were great. Close enough to Mammoth Cave. The communication was excellent and quick. Great place, great hosts.

We are so glad your family enjoyed our home and you felt you had everything you needed, enjoyed Nolin Lake and the kayaks. It was truly our pleasure to host your family and we are so glad you were able to explore the caves, as well. Truly a great experience!
We had a terrific stay. I would definitely stay here again! The house is comfortable and clean. Everything you need if you want to cook. The weather was perfect for an evening campfire. Mammoth Cave is nearby and a trip to the Zoo, Kentucky Down Under was a highlight. You can feed a kangaroo or two or several.

The home was beautiful, and a peaceful getaway. Very clean and well stocked for our stay. The owners were so friendly, and checked in to make sure we had everything we need. A great place for a family vacation.
We had a great stay here while out sightseeing with our kids and dog! Lake is beautiful and our kids loved the yard. Would be awesome to use in the summer when lake is in full swing.
