About this property

Lakefront 4BR/2BA Cabin - Sleeps 10 --> Pets Stay Free <--

Enjoy time away from it all! Gather your family and friends at this secluded lakefront home. Beautiful views of the lake from the patio, the covered porch and the fire pit. Plenty of seating on both levels for everyone to sit outside. Propane fire pit table located on the upper level for your evening enjoyment. The wood fire pit is situated close to the lake. S'mores, anyone?!

You enter the home on the lower level where you have a family room with a 55" TV, dining area and pool table. There is also a bedroom and a bathroom with shower on this floor. Upstairs you will find the kitchen and living room as well as three other bedrooms and another full bath (with tub/shower). The washer/dryer is also tucked away in a closet in the upstairs bathroom. Enjoy the gas fireplace in the upstairs living room on chilly nights. A baby gate has been added at the top of the stairs to keep the little ones safe!

The 4 sleeping areas provide you with flexibility to fit everyone who comes to visit. The large upstairs bedroom (bunk room) faces the lake, walks out to the deck and has a TV.

The eat-in kitchen has everything you need to feel at home including a Keurig coffee maker, a drip coffee pot, electric griddle, dishwasher and a full-sized refrigerator. Grill up your favorites on the propane grill available for your use. Our welcome book has information on many local restaurants should you not want to prepare your meals every day.

Just a short walk to fun on the lake. There are several convenient marinas that rent boats as well. Nolin Lake is known for great fishing.

Fall note: the Corps of Engineers begins the seasonal reduction in water level on 10/15. By 12/1, the lake will reach winter pool. Likely you cannot access the water at our dock after the end of October. The lake resumes full level again by mid-April.

Hiking trails at Mammoth Cave National Park are just 9 miles away providing you with lots of options to explore one of our nation's treasures. There are so many nearby attractions from Adventures of Mammoth Cave (zip lines, canoe/kayak rental, horseback riding and aerial challenge course), Blue Holler Off-road Park, Kentucky Down Under (Australian animal park with a cave - terrific for the younger crowd), many KY distilleries, the Corvette Museum and more!

We are pet friendly and welcome visitors that travel with their furry family members at no extra charge. Two dog crates are available for your use (sizes medium and extra large).

Our access roads have been newly paved to improve durability through the seasons.
Don't miss this great opportunity to tuck your family away for a week (or weekend) of fun and relaxation! We look forward to your visit!

Reservations for June, July and August (through Labor Day) must be 6 nights beginning early on a Saturday morning and ending on a Friday afternoon at 2pm.

Great spot on the lake

We (5 men) a work retreat at this lake house and it was great. The outdoor seating was exactly what we needed and the natural surroundings perfect for winding down and shutting out the noise. Loved the 2 fire pits and the short walk to the lake. A very relaxing and enjoyable time!

Beautiful Large Cabin right on Lake Nolin

Beautiful location! Large Cabin with ample room and all the amenities for a great stay. Owners were very easy to communicate with and our dogs loved it too! We cooked in the large kitchen and sat around the campfire at night right on beautiful Lake Nolin! A large upper deck had a propane fire to sit around in the evenings. A big grill was available to cook steaks and hamburgers. The pool table was a nice addition and a late evening favorite. The internet was fast and had good range too. Close to Mammoth Cave which we visited several times. Quiet, serene and a very enjoyable stay. I loved the relaxing cabin. Highly recommended!

We fell in love with the house and property. It is so beautiful and peaceful. The owners have thought of everything you will need! We will definitely book this house again! Hopefully in the summer time so we can take advantage of renting a boat and checking out the gigantic lake!

Fantastic House on Nolin Lake

This was an awesome house in an awesome location. Lake frontage with outstanding views. House was very spacious and super clean. Beds were great. Everything really was perfect for our family vacation over the new year holiday weekend. I can imagine how great this place would be in the summer months. Highly recommend staying here.

Remote escape

This property was just as described and we enjoyed our stay very much! There was something for everyone in our large family (the pool table and patio fire table were big hits)! The kitchen, bathrooms and linens were well-stocked (there wasn’t coffee, though, so if it’s important to you, make sure to pack it!) The house and property are beautiful. Even though I had read reviews and looked at maps prior to booking, we didn’t expect to drive quite as much as we did, so keep that in mind with planning your activities. It’s very remote! The host was wonderfully approachable and available and the check in/check out rules and procedures are very reasonable and we were happy to oblige. As previous reviewers noted, there is a staircase that is difficult to block off for adventurous toddlers (we brought our baby gate, but it didn’t fit).

Great for Family Fall Weekend

We had plenty of room for four adults and 3 little ones! The kitchen was wonderfully equipped with a great open design which opened up to beautiful covered large outdoor deck area. We found everything we could possibly need. And more! If you have a crawling or walking one year old who refuses to sit still, like we did, you might want to bring some kind of baby gate for the steps down to the first floor. The second floor outdoor deck had no steps, however, so it worked well to corral the little guy.

The Little Things

We really enjoyed our time at this lake house! It’s all about the little things … like the automatic light in the downstairs living room, the extra plugs in the bedrooms, the labeled light switches and the automatic string lights on the upstairs deck. These little things really change the experience. We felt welcome and invited! ❤️ It’s a little out of the way and hard to find; however, the directions provided by the host were perfect and led us to where we needed to be. We would stay here again hands down! Next time we’ll leave more time to enjoy the lake.

Vermillion/ assorted nuts

Nice property. We had 3 disabled adults with us that struggled with steps to lake access. Not a complaint, just a lot of slope on the property. We enjoyed the home itself. I accidentally packed the chalk my grandson was using. I thought it was his. Sorry.

Beautiful Location!!!

This home is in a beautiful location. Getting to it was an adventure but a highly enjoyable one. Our group consisted of my daughter, her husband and 3 children ages 8, 6 and 3. The kids really enjoyed the bunkbed room. There was plenty of room for everyone. The home was clean and the kitchen was well equipped. It had everything we needed.

Perfect for all of us!

We met our children and their spouses for a week’s vacation and the house was perfect for us! Plenty of space to gather and play games but then space to get in small groups. We hiked the area, fished and kayaked from the house’s dock, visited Mammoth Cave and rented a boat for the day. It was a great vacation.

Perfect

The perfect location to do the Kentucky caves tour, nature vacation thing. Blue Holler Off Road Park is a must if you are into off-roaring adventure. The house is great. It was clean, well maintained, and exactly as described in the add, actually better in person than the photos. The location is great, in a quiet spot but still lakefront. The property manager even communicated about the possibility of severe weather. You will not be disappointed.

Happy Bday/NY

Wife and my bdays and New Years weekend with friends. 4 adults and 4 kids 11-17. Fantastic spot. Great Mammoth Cave location. Great response and service from property management. Response with delivery of firepit propane tank FAR! exceeded expectations. Split wood available for wood fire but, we really loved the deck pit. Water access was great. Wrong time of year for water fun. Kids loved games and pool table. Only suggestions.... TV upstairs (big football weekend with lots of cooking away from TV), need pool sticks (all but 1 broken), better garbage can in kitchen (small can with wood edges and thin bags that ripped every time), and mattresses need updating. Minor nit picky things. Definitely not deal breakers. Otherwise, great place to stay and would definitely return if in area again.

About the host

Hosted by Judy Mahan

We are a Cincinnati family and have enjoyed taking lake vacations for years. We are very excited to now have a lake home of our own close enough to use regularly.

Why they chose this property

We love everything about this home and property! Easy walk to the lake. A dock in place. Room for our dogs to run. The home has beautiful porches on the upper and lower levels to watch the lake and enjoy the setting among the trees. I enjoy having my morning tea on the covered porch with a chorus of birds in the nearby trees. You feel like you are "away from it all". With room for all our family and friends to gather, we are looking forward to making many memories on this lake!
