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.

Perfect family getaway

This property was so clean, accommodating, and had so many things to do, we didn’t even want to leave the cabin! The Nolin State Park beach is so close, and my kids loved it! Thank you, Steve for being awesome, and providing such a beautiful space for us to make fun memories!

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.
