About this property

OVERSIZED PORCH, LAKE FRONT, Mammoth Cave, Fast WiFi, Firepit, hiking

Lakeside Paradise is a spacious resort cabin located on beautiful Nolin Lake in the Mammoth Cave region of Kentucky. We are open for vacation rentals during the summer months. This 1340 sq. ft. cabin has 3 Br., 2 baths, a fully equipped kitchen, custom oak cabinets, living room with sofa and love seat, flat panel TV, and central heat & air. There is a large covered porch with gas grill and picnic table overlooking beautiful Nolin Lake. All that you need to bring is food and lake towels!!

On Nolin Lake you are able to enjoy swimming, skiing and fishing. Other activities nearby include cave tours, museums, golf, hiking, horseback riding, shopping and live theatre.

We are located only 8 miles from the north entrance of Mammoth Cave National Park and only 30 / 45 minutes away from other show-caves and area attractions

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.

Boat parking at the dock is no longer available as the Corp of Engineers restricts rented properties from using a permitted boat dock. 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 here, gradual entry and somewhat beachy in front of the house.

We have been to this cabin 3 times and it's always a great experience. Clean space and the big deck is nice. We can walk down to the water and there's a space to sit in beach chairs. We will be back again!

We had a wonderful stay and we even added an extra day to our stay because it was so nice! The property was clean, well maintained and even had games/puzzles for our little one to enjoy. Plenty of wildlife (deer, birds, fish) to see and relaxing outdoor space to enjoy. Kayaks were a great addition to the experience and so much fun! Overall, a really great stay and would recommend!

Most air-bnbs don’t have your standard stuff like dish washer packs/ laundry supplies. This one had everything. The place was laid out good for the size. Roxanne was super quick to respond. We actually got to meet her on the little boat dock near the place we rented. She was super sweet and funny. Would Defiently come back here!

Great lakeside getaway for the family, they are already wanting to come back. It rained the 1st 2 days, but gave us time to visit, play games, watch movies, or read our books. When the sun popped out, my son and friend went kayak fishing. Enjoyed the amenities, small kitchen but adequate. DG and grocery/bait shop 5-10 minutes away. The perfect weekend getaway!

Beautiful Lake & Mammoth Cave Trip

We loved staying at Paradise Lake House while we spent most of our time at Mammoth Cave - it takes about 35 minutes to drive on enjoyable roads. We were hoping to eat all our meals on the porch overlooking the lake but it was a bit too cool in April until our last day.

Nice stay with basic amenities

We had a nice stay with extended family. The location and view were beautiful. We didn’t realize the two upstairs bedrooms were connected which ended up being ok for our group but may be a deal breaker for some. The general amenities throughout the house are pretty basic, but everything is functional. Overall a decent stay for a decent price.

My husband grew up on this lake. We spend summers at the lake!
