Short family getaway

The location was secluded and relaxing. Short walk or drive to the lake and beach area. The teens enjoyed playing games and talking around the fire pit. The only downside for us was the beds- the mattresses were harder than our liking.

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.

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.

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!

Great spot for families!

We chose the rental due to location to the state park (which was still closed due to flooding), but also for the fire pit, comfortable beds and screened in porch. We were delighted with the space and my kids loved that there were a few toys. I read lots of reviews before booking, and some said wi-fi was an issue, but it worked great for us during our three night stay. However, cell service was terrible in the area, so don't rely on it for directions. Our only complaint was the fire pit was completely full and hadn't been cleaned out. Someone had used charcoal in it. We didn't mind needing to clean it, but couldn't find a shovel. We improvised with a fast food cup, so it took a while, but the kids loved cooking their own hot dogs and making smores! We brought a few pieces of firewood, but also found a few there. Highly recommend the space and if we return to the area, we'd love to stay again.

Beautiful forested lake house at Mammoth Cave

Great Lake house set in the trees, very peaceful. We were in the area to visit Mammoth Cave. Nice place to stay, as we were with family and would have been separated had we stayed at the lodge, so worked out well. Would stay there again.

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!
