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 35 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

We enjoyed the view from the deck and the porch swing from this beautiful home. The beds were amazingly comfortable just like a high end hotel. There were only 2 paddles for the kayaks so we never got to use more than 2 at a time.

Hello, thank you for your review. Our listing does state that the lake is raised and lowered for flood control. Unfortunately we have no control of when the corp of engineers changes the level. But summer time is always the best to visit!

This house was nice. Plenty of space for our family gathering. And the beds were comfy. We enjoyed the deck space & outdoor firepit. The owners were very responsive and added a nice touch with a Christmas tree in the living room. Only downside was that The neighborhood was a bit odd.

This was great place with a beautiful view of the lake! We got lucky with really nice October weather to use the lake but we were only able to use 2 of the kayaks due to only 2 paddles available and 2 of the kayaks had holes in them. It was a little more off the beaten path then we expected but no the less we really enjoyed it!
