Beautiful forested lake house at Mammoth Cave

Great Lake house set in the trees, very peaceful. We were in the area to visit Mammoth Cave. Nice place to stay, as we were with family and would have been separated had we stayed at the lodge, so worked out well. Would stay there again.

Perfect family getaway

This property was so clean, accommodating, and had so many things to do, we didn’t even want to leave the cabin! The Nolin State Park beach is so close, and my kids loved it! Thank you, Steve for being awesome, and providing such a beautiful space for us to make fun memories!

Great vacation rental

Property is very nice and quiet far enough away from neighbors to allow my boys to be a little loud outdoors. All the beds are memory, foam and very comfortable. The amenities are great. I really enjoyed the outside deck and patio back. They have a number of DVDs and board games. They don't have a Blu-ray player.

A short visit for Mammoth Caves

“We had an unforgettable stay at this charming lakeside cabin! The serene location provided the perfect escape, and the thoughtful touches from the property owner made it even more special. Our group of eight, including four adults, grandparents, and two young boys, felt right at home. The kids were overjoyed with the selection of toys and books thoughtfully provided by the owner. We’ll definitely be returning!”

Nolin lake

The home was clean, comfortable and quiet. My kids loved the “forest” backyard to scavenger in. We had nightly fires. We came for Mammoth cave and the Kentucky zoo which were both about 45 minutes away. Nolin lake area was flooded when we stayed so we couldn’t do any hiking but the area looks awesome for summertime adventures. Our stay was very peaceful and the owner was very good at communicating and answering any questions

Close to Nolin Lake

This property was super clean with comfortable beds! Was fairly close to Mammoth Cave! Check out the Blue Hollar! Cute little local restaurant close by! Only con was internet service was terrible, but most likely to location in the mountains! If you want to go to Lake Nolin it's a very short drive up the street! My dog loved swimming in the lake!

Great spot for families!

We chose the rental due to location to the state park (which was still closed due to flooding), but also for the fire pit, comfortable beds and screened in porch. We were delighted with the space and my kids loved that there were a few toys. I read lots of reviews before booking, and some said wi-fi was an issue, but it worked great for us during our three night stay. However, cell service was terrible in the area, so don't rely on it for directions. Our only complaint was the fire pit was completely full and hadn't been cleaned out. Someone had used charcoal in it. We didn't mind needing to clean it, but couldn't find a shovel. We improvised with a fast food cup, so it took a while, but the kids loved cooking their own hot dogs and making smores! We brought a few pieces of firewood, but also found a few there. Highly recommend the space and if we return to the area, we'd love to stay again.
