We really enjoyed our stay at the Dam Dam house. The house was beautiful and well stocked with everything you need for your stay. The house is so spacious with comfortable beds and plenty of games to play for everyone to enjoy. I loved the big deck out back and the fire pit and large yard.

We enjoyed our stay at the Dam Dam house! The house had a great setup to accommodate our party of 8, and it was convenient to have plenty of dishes. We made a “House Olympics” with all of the games available and it was a great way to spend an evening! The yard and fire pit were also nice, and we were happy we could bring our pups! We enjoyed our first trip to Kentucky!

This was a wonderful vacation spent with my family. The property was very clean and we loved all the games. We made lots of wonderful memories and I would highly recommend the property to anyone. The hosts was very helpful in accommodating an early check in that we needed. We also had left a few items behind and I was able to meet up with the cleaning lady for the property and get the items we left behind. The property was perfect for kids of all ages also.

We had a wonderful stay! Beautiful area and lots to do! The home was very comfortable including every bed in the house! The kitchen had everything you need in a kitchen. Lots of indoor activities for family and kids, and outside fun as well (tether ball, bon fire area). We enjoyed several campfires. Wood available at the local store a couple miles down the street. During our stay we visited mammoth caves, several hikes, kayaked the green river and traversed the green river on the ferry.

Great variety of activities to choose from while at the home. Arcade game and basketball was pretty fun with the kids. Able to sit down and play some poker in the evening to unwind with family. Plenty of sleeping spaces for everyone in our party. More spacious than expected. Really have pretty much anything you need for a family getaway. Thanks!

About the host

Hosted by Taylor

Host profile image
Hello and welcome to The Dam* Dam House!

We attended Miami University, where we played Division 1 field hockey for five years. After graduating and wrapping up our athletic careers, we started looking for our next adventure. Since we've always loved to travel, hosting felt like a natural fit.

Designing and creating spaces like this has become something we truly enjoy, especially knowing families and friends get to make lasting memories here. The Dam* Dam House was built to feel nostalgic, comfortable, and fun - the kind of place that brings everyone together.

We hope you feel right at home and enjoy every moment of your time away!

Why they chose this property

We discovered this tucked-away cabin and immediately saw its potential. It felt like the kind of place that could become a true escape — quiet, comfortable, and surrounded by everything that makes this part of Kentucky so special.

The Dam* Dam House sits in an area known for its natural beauty and outdoor adventure. Just a short drive away is Mammoth Cave National Park, home to the world’s longest cave system and miles of hiking, kayaking, and wildlife-filled landscapes. Nearby Nolin Lake offers some of the region’s best boating, swimming, and laid-back lake days.

This location makes the house an ideal home base for guests who want to explore during the day and return to a cozy, nostalgic retreat at night. Whether it’s cave tours, lake outings, trail walks, or simply unplugging in nature, there’s something uniquely grounding about spending time here.

We’re excited to share it and hope you enjoy experiencing the area as much as we do.

What makes this property unique

The Dam* Dam House sits on over two acres and is tucked among trees on three sides, giving it a peaceful, private feel that makes it easy to unplug and settle in. We’ve filled the home with games and activities so that even on rainy days, there’s always something to do and no one feels bored.

One of our favorite ways to bring people together is through food, so we’ve thoughtfully stocked the newly renovated kitchen with the tools and equipment you need to prepare and share a family meal. Whether it’s a big breakfast before a day on the lake or dinner together at night, the space is designed to make gathering easy and enjoyable.

And when the day winds down, the fire pit becomes the natural gathering place — a spot for s’mores, stories, and quiet evenings under the trees. It’s often where the best moments of the trip happen.
