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 20 minute drive.
*Blue Holler Off-road Park is 10 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

Wonderful time with family

My children came from every direction. There was plenty of room for the 10 of us. Everyone had their own space. Having two sitting areas was so nice. Three of the family got in the lake and the rest of us enjoyed watching from the deck. We were able to get wood and had a great time at the fire ring. Although the ground was really muddy. Who cares when your with family!

Great place

We had a 3 night stay here. The place was great. Very clean and kitchen fully stocked. The kayaks were a great bonus. My only complaint was the beds were not very comfortable. But all in all a beautiful place.

Family fun

This is our second year and we love it. However we have a one year old now. He will be two next year and his sister 6 months. We may have to go sone where else for several years and then come back. Too many steps and steep terrains . But we think it is great, just maybe not for active toddlers.

Comfortable and functional

Big enough for our party of 11, nice property close to the water. One issue was wifi didn’t work, wasn’t a huge deal for us as we came to see mammoth caves. Other reviews were accurate that there were only 7 forks which is funny since the property sleeps 14. We purchased 9 and they now have 16 forks! Lol. It was a 40 minute drive to the cave tours, but is a perfect little drive for people with kids for car naps.

Perfect family get away!

We met up with my in-laws here for short vacation/visit. The house was perfect! The view off the deck was breathtaking and we all enjoyed just sitting on it watching the water and spending time together. Honestly, we all agreed that was our favorite part of the trip and we spent one afternoon at Mammoth cave. Honestly it was just a great spot to relax and enjoy some quality family time. I can't say enough how much enjoyed it. We definitely plan to come back!

Great base for Mammoth Cave

I came with another adult and 8 middle school girls with an American Heritage Girls troop. The property was exactly as stated and close to Mammoth Cave. AHG has very specific guidelines for overnight trips and this home met them all and was in our price range. I highly recommend.

The house fit us well

We enjoyed our stay. The home had lots of space for our family. The kitchen had most everything we needed, except enough silverware. Our one disappointment was finding a stack of dirty dishes in the cabinet. Gross! It's hard to feel comfortable when you know something hasn't been cleaned. Everything else was as we expected.

Not what I expected. I never rented a house from vrbo or their competitors that didn’t include a washer/dryer and a tv in the bedroom. Not bad. Won’t be back. Cleaner needs to clean under things.

Nice place!

Very cute home! We had a family of 10 with 2 dogs and the home layout was very accommodating for our family groups. It can sleep up to 12 comfortably with nice beds and comfy linens. The listing shows up to 14 but not sure where 2 more people would sleep. The kitchen was well stocked with plenty of pots and pans and dishes. We enjoyed the lower level with walk out for the convenience of taking out the dogs. Driving in, the neighborhood was a little sketchy, but once we turned the corner, the homes were nice. The drive to Mammoth Caves visitor center was about 35-40 minutes so not too far to travel. We enjoyed our stay!

Mammoth Cave Getaway

We stayed at this wonderful home for a visit to Mammoth Cave. It is a beautiful setting and the house had everything we needed. (Except forks, there were only 7 LOL) The beds were comfortable and everyone slept great, even the baby. Lots of room with the two levels and the upper loft bedroom. I would say a quick 20-30 minute ride to the cave. We were hoping to do some type of bourbon tasting around the area, but dry counties everywhere. BYOB We found two smaller grocery stores in the area, but if you need specialty items, bring them with you. All in all a great stay!

Lake house

We are a group of 5 guys that visited the area to ride our motorcycles. The house was perfect for us. 5 separate sleeping areas worked great. The deck on back over looks the lake and was a great place to gather at the end of the day. There is a Dollar General Market just a few miles down the road which was well stocked for groceries. We came to ride and although we were prepared for unpaved roads, we couldn’t find any. Every road in Kentucky was paved and smooth. It is a very scenic area with friendly folks everywhere. I would definitely recommend visiting.
