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.

Note that we reply promptly to all messages and VRBO is looking into the inaccurate metrics shown on the site. Thank you!

Great stay snd super pet friendly!

Beautiful property and home. Very welcoming when entering with little touches to make us feel at home. Best yet - my dog loved the area and there was a long leash outside so she could just hang out. The deck was wonderful.

Cub Run stay

The check in process was super easy and the house was extremely clean and the kitchen well stocked. Our only issue was that we didn't have access to the kayaks because they aren't available this time of year and the marinas do not have boat rentals until mid April.

Just as advertised

A lovely home right by the lake. Plenty of nearby trails to hike, and the water was right there. Lovely views. The home is extremely pet friendly with signs everywhere saying they welcome owners with pets. I left money on the table for the cleaning crew, and the owner reminded me that I had already paid that in my regular payment and they refunded the money.

Perfect winter getaway

We loved our time spent at Lake Tails! The house was perfect, clean & fully stocked with everything we needed. The layout was a perfect fit for our large family and allowed plenty of space for everyone to be comfortable. The hosts were great took, and quick to respond when we had questions. We would definitely stay again.

Great Mammoth Getaway

One of the best views and properties we’ve ever stayed at. Lots of things for kids and dogs to do. Outdoor area is just fantastic. Everything about the house was perfect. Kitchen was stocked with tools and other items more than most rentals! Loved our time here.

Mammoth Cave Tour

We traveled with our adult kids for a quick trip to see Mammoth Cave National Park. The house was just as advertised, and provided a warm and cozy place to stay on a very cold weekend. Kitchen was well stocked. Bedrooms and bathrooms were clean. Driving directions were super helpful, and it was easy to find even at night with all the great signage. Thank you, Jim and Judy, for making it a home away from home.

Peaceful and Calming

We had a lovely and relaxing stay at this property. The house is immaculate and the owners provided many essentials such as hand soap, dish soap, towels, and basic condiments. All of the queen beds were super comfortable (we didn't use the bunk beds or smaller bed in the basement). The kitchen is well stocked with glassware, pots, and pans. The 2nd level deck is absolutely perfect! There is a gorgeous view of the Lake, and there is a gas fire pit to help stay warm during chilly mornings/evenings. The wood fire pit by the lake is a great place to have conversations with family and friends. The red chairs are especially comfortable! We enjoyed walking everyday, and we were also able to visit Mammoth Caves. We brought 2 dogs with us, and we appreciated how pet friendly the owners are. During the time of year we visited we were not able to access the dock due to water levels, but we were aware of this before we went. It was still nice to sit on the steps to the dock and watch all the birds and wildlife. We hope to return to this wonderful property in the future.

Great stay!

This property was great for our extended family vacation- right on the lake with a private dock for our boat! The roads to the property were pretty narrow and winding to pull a truck with a boat behind it but we got it there. We enjoyed evenings hanging out on the porch and the kids loved the bunk beds. Great place- would rent again

Fall Break Getaway

We absolutely loved this house. The size was perfect for our group of 4 adults and 6 kids. We just hung out, did a lot of fishing, hiked, and of course saw Mammoth Cave. The views were spectacular, and the upper deck was great to gather around. Only reason I gave the location 4 not 5 stars is that it is quite a ways back and up a steep hill...this was lovely for us, but may not be the best for others.

Perfect spot for summer fun

The Lakeview Cabin is a beautiful rustic environment with all the amenities you need. A great game room that kept the teenagers happy when we weren't on the Lake swimming, boating or fishing. Most fun we have had in years. Can't wait to come back next year.

Tucked Away Gem!

This house is amazing! It was well stocked and very clean upon arrival. Hosts were great to work with; suggesting activities in the area for the us to explore with the kids. I highly recommend renting a boat from Wax Marina and exploring the lake for a day. The sunsets from the dock were beautiful and somthing we looked forward to each night. I would definitely stay here again!

About the host

Hosted by Judy Mahan

Host profile image
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!

What makes this property unique

We are happy to host families and their pets at no extra charge!

Great location only 9 miles from Mammoth Cave National Park makes this location a great vacation hub. There are so many activities in the local area!
