About this property

Lakefront home near Mammoth Cave

This home is perfect for your family gathering. Located on Nolin Lake in Brier creek, right off the main channel of the lake. Swimming, boating, fishing, paddle boarding, canoeing and kayaking are perfect activities here. Enjoy Wifi and 200+ channels including Netflix and Amazon prime video.

*Mammoth Cave is approximately 35 minute drive.
*There are golf courses, horseback riding, Amish shops and the state park beach/play area are within minutes of this home.

Please be advised Nolin Lake is owned by the US Corp of Engineers and is used for flood control. Lake access is best during the summer as the Corp lowers the lake (25 / 30 feet) starting late October. Due to the flood control aspect of the lake, the walk up and down to the water can be steep and some guest might find it difficult.

There is a boat ramp 1/4 mile away that you can launch and recover your boat very easily with parking at the ramp (parking can be limited on weekends).
Swimming is available off the shoreline, or at the boat ramp, or one of the nearby public beaches (Nolin Lake State Park).

This home is equipped with outdoor security cameras

Kids rate it AWESOME!

The property was as described and perfect for our stay. We were there for Spring Break and unfortunately experienced the historic flooding. But the house was a great base for nearby sightseeing and relaxing.

Great stay

We had a great extended family weekend - everything was as expected. Plenty of space indoors and outdoors to relax together. The dock was not accessible due to the high water level (we knew that the water level would be unknown until we got there), everything else was wonderful!

Lovely and well-equipped with a great view!

Beautiful view of water, wildlife, and trees. Well equipped property with everything we needed to cook and store food. Cute deco - fun, stylish lake theme. Comfy place with more than enough room to rest, play games, watch movies, and eat for our group of seven. Convenient to Mammoth Cave (visitor center was about 40 minutes away).

Bachelor Party Success

View was great, planned to do some fishing but the lakes water level was too high to get to our dock.Not the owners fault though.Scenery was beautiful, the cabin was very roomy and nicer than we expected.Had a lot of fun around the fire pit with good friends. Owner has been in contact with me since the day I reserved the stay. I definitely recommend, and we will be back!

Trip to Mammoth Cave

The stay was wonderful. There was everything you could want to have for a trip in side the lakehouse. The only thing was, in the basement room with the two double beds, the covers smelled of mildew. We chalked it up to the room being a basement room but other than that, everything was great.

Weekend with friends

We’ve stayed at this house for 5 years now and it never disappoints. Spacious, clean, well stocked and the view. We love swimming off the dock, having bonfires and hanging outside and having all those options each year keeps us coming back. My favorite place to stay.

Great family getaway

My family had a great time here. We have 4 adults and 4 kids and didn't feel on top of each other. My 4 year old asked if we can come back the next year. pros- very open living area upstairs- very cosy living area downstairs- great views everywhere- big and well furnished deck. - kids loved the kayaks- kitchen was a good size and well stocked- hosts were easy going and communicated well. - loft bedroom was more helpful than we thought it would be. - furniture was newer and in great condition.- yard had a nice flat area compared to most river/lake houses- no fees for my doggie- very cleanCons:- mattresses were cheap and not comfortablenotes:- 45 minutes to Mammoth Cave visiter center- Dock access was blocked by flooding, but not hosts fault and it was spring so we didn't need it. - Some reviews said that it didn't have a firepit. It has a firepit but its rudimentary, but it didn't bother us. We had fires 2 nights.- dock was pretty small. We were not there to swim, but if we were. It would have been a problem.

Lake view home!

This beautiful 3 level home provided something for everyone. We loved setting on the porch in the morning eating breakfast. We wish we had gave ourselves more time to explore the house area. If I had to pick one thing I wish there were TVs in the main bedrooms. Such a beautiful home!

Fall break weekend

Loved the space and the lakeview! All the needed things were supplied! Nicely decorated! No fire pit as listed in the amenities. Grill was pretty dirty and remnants from other guests caught fire before we even cooked, so we had to clean thoroughly before use.

End of summer getaway

This was the perfect end of summer getaway for our family, we did a couple of fun things including touring Mammoth Cave and horse back riding, but most of the time we swam in the lake, took the kayaks out that were provided with this house, cooked, and relaxed. We absolutely loved just getting away for a few days! The only downside is there is no washer and dryer. Wasn't a big deal because we only stayed 4 days, but if it were a week I could see laundry definitely piling up.
