Response from VrboOwner on 18 Mar, 2026
Sorry, the lake is always drained for the winter and I sent the info on when water is released into it. That’s just normal for Nolin. Full depth is reached in April. Peak lake season is April to September. And we sent that info at the time of booking. Sorry that had such negative impact on your stay as there’s a lot of fun things to do around Mammoth in February. Sorry again and thanks for staying!

The house is great--clean, lots of space and lots of natural light, well-equipped kitchen, opportunities for indoor recreation (ping pong, darts, board games) and outdoor recreation (hiking trails, large porch, campfire area), beautiful surroundings. The host was very responsive to questions before and during our stay.

The property was fantastic for our families. Plenty of space and beds. The location was perfect. It was close enough to the lake but not too close to not be safe for the young kids. We had a great time and would absolutely stay at this property.

Tim and Amanda's lovely lake house was the perfect place for an extended weekend stay with friends. Tons of space, games, entertainment options, helpful amenities and - of course - the lake, only a short walk down from the huge wraparound porch. Our expectations were not only met but exceeded; I would highly recommend staying at this charming home for your next lake trip!

Secluded getaway

This amazing cabin was clean and huge! On a lake with walking trails and close to Mammoth Cave National Park. Massive deck overlooking the lake and a separate screened porch to listen to the rain on a tin roof. The hosts were very responsive and made great recommendations for places to eat. We loved it!

I loved staying at this place! It was the perfect amount of space for 9 people (4 adults / 5 kids) and we had a great day hanging out by / in the lake. One note is that it is pretty remote, so don't expected a place right off the interstate. We loved the place and plan on going back.

Spacious cabin, peaceful atmosphere

We had a great time at this spacious cabin with our family! Close to Mammoth Cave and right on the lake. Perfect place to get away from it all and disconnect. Kids loved the game room and walking to the dock. Visited Mammoth Cave & Nolin Lake.

Friend Reunion

This property is amazing. We had our inaugural friendship reunion here, 3 families with children ranging from 4 - 7. Its an easy drive to Mammoth Cave and Lake Nolin. The property itself was perfect it had everything we needed. We all loved jumping from the dock and swimming, as well as some good fishing! We have already planned to come back to this property in the future!!!

Nice outdoor vacation

My family had a great time at this property. Unfortunately we weren’t able to kayak since the army dams the lake in the winter. While this was unexpected, we made the most of it and walked the dry lake bed quite far and my family was able to find some fishing spots. The cabin was clean and had what we needed. The back deck was a great place to read my book and kids liked the bonfire in the evening. We would stay here again but make sure the lake is there!

The cabin was immaculate. There were many activities both inside and out for children. Multiple sleeping arrangements to choose from. Two fireplaces that were cozy at night. A full kitchen that allowed for full meals. We were unable to have a guided tour at Mammoth Cave due to the government shutdown, but visited other locations. The cabin is very secluded, with winding roads with 30 minute drive to anywhere. The drive to the cabin was washed out on the sides and some in the center so definitely do not want to drive a low profile vehicle down. The tv’s were hard to use, as there were multiple remotes causing confusion. For the main floor tv, we had to use the Roku app on our phones to control the tv. There were missing batteries in the upstairs remote.Several board games, puzzles, and cards were provided which was very appreciated! The host was prompt and informative!

Relax with Family

The house is private but you can see rooftops through the trees. The lake is close and there is a down ward hill to get to the water, not too steep and doable with bad knees. One really cool part of the house is there are multiple places you can escape to for alone time or having a listen to the sounds of nature on the patio, etc. the kitchen had an impressive selection of cookware and dishes. The bed were comfortable. The air conditioning was great and the gas fireplaces were cozy. We enjoyed the lake so much! The outdoor fire pit was a good time also! What a great spot! Thank you so much!

Great experience

Spent a few days of fall break at this cabin with the family and thoroughly enjoyed our time there. The property is situated in a very quite and serene area to where all you can really hear are the sounds of nature. We really enjoyed the access to a private dock on the lake for both fishing and kayaking. We also took the opportunity to use the fire pit every night. There were five of us and we really appreciated the fact that there was ample seating available on all the decks and around the firepit without us ever having to move chairs from one area to the other. The cabin itself is very spacious and well kept. The downstairs pool table/ping pong table, darts and separate tv view area kept the kids entertained when we were not outside enjoying nature. I would definitely recommend this cabin to others.

Perfect home away from home

This home was the absolute perfect home away from home. Everything was well stocked comfy and cozy. The kids loved the recreation room in the basement and kept them entertained during our stay. We enjoyed the peace and quiet and the views of the property. This home is perfectly nestled in the woods with a short downhill walk to the lake where we enjoyed paddling in the kayaks and fishing. The beds are super comfortable and home was so clean. We felt right at home. I don’t think I would have done anything differently. While we were visiting we enjoyed cave tours, Kentucky down under and so many other adventures. We were in search of a peaceful family getaway and this hit the mail on the head! Thank you for sharing this home with us. We had a blast!
