Nearby Attractions:

Nolin Lake State Park (1 mile)* – Sandy beach, hiking, biking, fishing, and a boat ramp
Mammoth Cave National Park – UNESCO World Heritage Site & world’s longest cave system

Additional Info:

Parking: Sloped, gravel driveway with space for multiple vehicles. AWD/4WD is highly recommended year round and required in wet or snowy weather. Please note we do not salt or plow in the winter months; carry chains if it is a possibility during your stay!

Security: Outdoor security cameras at the entrances (for your safety only)

Firewood: Available on your way in from multiple places, just watch for the signs!

Lake Access (Please Read!)

Dock access is not included or available with this rental. This is due to U.S. Army Corps of Engineers regulations, which apply to all homes on Nolin Lake—private docks may not be used by guests renting lake homes.

However, you’re just 1 mile from Nolin Lake State Park, where there’s a sandy beach in the summer and a free public boat ramp for launching your own watercraft. Note: Nolin Lake State Park is currently closed for recreation. You may still use the boat ramp there to launch your boat.

Boat Rentals

The closest marinas for boat and jet ski rentals:

- Wax Marina – Closest by road
- Moutardier Marina – Newly renovated; closer by water

Check their websites or social pages for rental info and seasonal hours.

Groceries

We recommend bringing your main groceries in with you. This is a peaceful, rural area—it’s part of what makes it special!

Nearby options:

- DG Market (15 min) – Closest and great for basics
- Cee Bee Food Store (20 min, Brownsville) – Great stop after Mammoth Cave
- Walmart & Save-A-Lot (40 min, Leitchfield) – Best for full grocery runs
- Bowling Green (40 miles south) – Big-box stores and major chains, everything you need!

Restaurants

Many local dining options are available. Check our Guidebook for current recs!

Important:

Edmonson County is dry. Alcohol is not sold locally, so please plan ahead and bring any with you.

Lake Levels & Wildlife

Nolin Lake is a seasonal reservoir, and water levels change throughout the year:

Summer (May–Oct): Full pool for swimming, boating, fishing

Winter (Nov–April): Low levels, often exposing the lakebed—a neat way to explore, but not ideal for water activities

You’re in the Kentucky countryside, so it’s not uncommon to see deer, bunnies, birds, or the occasional insect or critter. We use regular pest control to help minimize surprises.

A Few Country Comfort Notes

Life is slower out here—embrace it!

- Some restaurants have limited hours
- Cell signal may vary depending on your carrier

We encourage guests to disconnect and enjoy the stillness—play games, take a hike, relax in the hot tub, or make s’mores under the stars.

We love providing a comfortable, thoughtful, and stylish space for family and friends to gather, relax and have fun!

Why they chose this property

Tucked away in a quiet neighborhood just down the road from Nolin Lake State Park, you hear the sweet sound of birdsong in the mornings as you sip your coffee on the deck. Rolling Kentucky hills in the distance give a sense of peace and serenity. It is hard not to feel at ease, here!

What makes this property unique

Thoughtful touches, like soft white cotton linens, comfortable new mattresses and a fully stocked coffee bar make you feel at home. We’ve got fun for the kids, too, with ample outdoor space to roam as well as arcade, yard, and board games! The fire pit is the perfect place to wind down at the end of the day. Don’t forget to soak your worries away in the new hot tub!
