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.

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

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!”

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 experience

We chose Mammoth Cave as a meeting point to see family friends. It is gorgeous in the springtime. Mammoth Cave is a 40-minute drive away and definitely worth it. Nolin Park is right outside the doors and the lake is just down the street. Great location, a very clean cabin, and beautiful surroundings. We had a great time.

Relaxing weekend getaway!

We stayed for a long weekend and had an enjoyable, relaxing time. My 11 and 13 year old stayed off their phones and played board games and cards, which is always a win as far as I’m concerned. We enjoyed the screened in porch and the fire pit while we listened to music and enjoyed the scenery. The walk to Nolin State Park took just a few minutes, and we enjoyed hiking the trails (even in the mud). Host let us know right away to contact him if we needed anything, but the property had everything we needed. We did struggle to figure out the tv in the main bedroom, but that’s probably for the best. We didn’t need tv! I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend this property!

Great home away from home

We had a great time with our grandkids at this rental. Owner was wonderful to work with and so accommodating. We all loved the screened porch and fire pit area. We enjoyed the trails down at Nolin lake state park. We spent time at Mammoth Cave, a day of ziplining and challenge course at Mammoth Adventure. Great fall get away.

Mammoth Cave Getaway

This house in Nolin Lake State Park was great! We had many kids and they all enjoyed all the games, fire pit, and land area that was provided. Our dog also loved the space. The house was as shown and very clean. Towels, appliances, tvs , utensils were all provided for us. Our whole family loved the house. Nolin Lake was gorgeous and so was Mammoth Cave!
