The house was a great base for our family to explore mammoth cave and nolin lake. The house was very clean and had everything we needed. The lake was a short walk away in a quiet neighborhood. Although the water was still down, we got some fishing in. It was a great experience all the way around.

We really enjoyed our stay! The house was absolutely beautiful. By far one of the nicest we have stayed in so far. My son enjoyed fishing and we did lots of day trips during the week. Mammoth cave is a must! We went to Lost River Cave as well. We went to the Corvette Museum and Nashville all in one day. Such a fun trip exploring Kentucky!
