About this property

LUXURY Timber Lake Lodge - Nolin Mammoth Cave+View

Timber Lake Lodge is a finely appointed timber 6-bedroom framed home sitting on a PRIVATE gated 40-acre wooded estate with DIRECT access to one of the most beautiful & serene coves in all of Nolin Lake. With everything that Timber Lake Lodge has to offer, there is nothing of this caliber available for rent at Nolin or any other lake in the state of Kentucky. The home is located in the middle of Nolin Lake, giving you the best access to explore. The short path to the lake is directly in front of the house.

This luxurious home was designed for entertaining & relaxing in serenity. Enjoy the open plan kitchen, living and dining, breathtaking woodwork, 2-story cupola, stunning hardwood floors, indoor and outdoor stone fireplaces, and covered deck and patio. There is a king bedroom & ensuite on the first floor, and a king bedroom and ensuite in the basement. On the second floor, two queen bedrooms share a jack and jill bathroom. The wonderfully appointed bunk house with loft sleeps 8+ and is located above the garage.

If a rustic cabin lake vacation is your dream, but luxurious accommodations are more your style, you will bask in the respite of this exquisite home located on forty acres at the end of a secluded and serene cove on Nolin Lake. This is the only home in the entire gated property, located just six miles from Wax Marina, and only nine miles from Mammoth Cave National Park. From the gorgeous interior, step outside to the IPE, exotic hardwood constructed deck to enjoy nearly 750 square feet of covered porch with built-in outdoor stone fireplace, grill and large dining table. Beautiful forested views surround you, and yet the gentle sloping path to your private dock on Nolin Lake is directly in front of the home. A swim ladder from the dock gives you access to the private cove, located directly across from a nature preserve, providing peace and quiet.

The first floor includes a spacious open floor-plan great room with a stone gas fireplace that looks up into a two-story cupola. Plenty of comfortable sofas surround the fireplace sitting areas. A large dining table is situated close to the kitchen, and provides ample space for a large gathering. The granite countertop island is large enough for a sizable buffet, a five-burner gas cooktop, and six barstools. The gourmet kitchen includes a farmhouse sink, stainless steel appliances, and a stand-alone ice maker. Kitchen is stocked with everything you will need, including dishes, silverware, and glassware for 24, pots and pans, prep and cooking equipment utensils, serving platters and bowls, small appliances and pantry staples.

Down the hall from the great room, a first floor bedroom with king bed is situated to view the trees from the beautiful bay windows. A two-sink vanity and tiled walk-in shower, two closets, as well as a private entry to the covered deck await the guests that occupy this suite.

Just off the kitchen, a pantry with pull-out shelves, mudroom/laundry, and a half bath complete the first floor.

Up the stairs, with another impressive view of the estate, there are two queen bedrooms that share a jack and jill bathroom. A pack and play is available in the closet. The jack and jill bathroom has a double-sink vanity that is separated from the bath/shower combo and toilet, giving privacy for multiple guests.

Let the fun begin downstairs with a pool table, wet bar with beverage refrigerator, large screen television and plenty of plush seating to watch a movie or the big game! Over 250 DVDs await movie buffs. Indoor time can be filled with the array of board games, cards and toys. A second full-size refrigerator is located in the storage area.

An additional king bedroom with the same footprint as the first floor bedroom is located down the hall from the open floor plan basement living area. Here, another two-sink vanity ensuite, tiled shower and two closets, as well as a private entry to the covered patio await the guests.

Just steps away from the main home, a wonderfully appointed bunk house with two additional bedrooms, kitchenette with sink and beverage refrigerator, a full bathroom with shower/bath and living area can occupy additional guests, including all of the kids and teenagers. They will have a ping-pong table, full size arcade game with over 1,000 games, large screen television, and sectional sofa to immerse them at night or anytime they need a break from outdoor activities. The bunk room has three sets of bunk beds, for a total of five twins and two fulls. The upstairs loft bedroom has a full size bed, and is perfect for adults that want to supervise and sleep in the same home as the children. We also have two air mattresses available.

The entire home is outfitted with bed linens, blankets, comforters, and comfortable mattresses. Look forward to 100-percent cotton towels in the bathrooms.

An outdoor utility closet houses a double hammock, corn hole and an oversized Jenga game. Pack up some beverages to take with you out on the lake using the industrial style wagon. Put on your sneakers and take a hike across the property. You won't have to leave the estate during your entire stay!

The home is located within minutes of several ramps, including Dog Creek Recreation Area (7 minutes by car) and Wax Marina (15 minutes by car).

Wonderful place for a relaxing family vacation.
Beautiful home with lots of space for a large family to hang out and relax. The layout is great. There are lots of beds in the bunkhouse to fit kids/teens. A large living area downstairs to hang out and play pool or play games or for little ones to run around. The kitchen has just about everything you need including spices for cooking and all of the liitle things you might not think to grab at the store. Very well stocked. The deck is a wonderful place to hang out and relax. There is a little bit if a walk to the lake but it is not too far. We enjoyed the canoe. The house is beautiful and Kristen was wonderful to deal with and easy to get in touch with. We appreciate her sharing her home with our family and would love to stay there again if she will have us. Highly recommend this home to anyone looking for a wonderful, relaxing vacation near the lake.

Terrific house for our large family!
This house is gorgeous and roomy. Well appointed with many places for small groups to play games and enjoy the get-away. We had 16 and never felt crowded. We did not realize that the bunkhouse area was separated from the main house or that one bedroom was actually open to the bunk room. Since we had young kids we had one family use it while the rest stayed in the main house. Plenty of space on sofas for them. It is a steep walk down to the lake. Bring good walking shoes! The lake was lovely with a dock for our boat. Nice area to float and have the kids play. We are hoping to return next year since we found it a perfect fit.

Luxury in the forest
A beautiful timber framed home in the woods of KY. They thought of everything. Beds were comfy, layout was great, kiddos can be pooled together in the bunkhouse and I would recommend it highly.

About the host

Hosted by Kristin Townsend

Host profile image
I am a wife, mom to two children and an Interior Decorator. While I was born and raised in Louisville, Kentucky, and currently live there, I have also lived in Atlanta, Georgia, and New York City. My family and I have lived in Louisville, Kentucky in the historic Cherokee Triangle neighborhood for over 18 years in a home built in 1896. We love being close to Cherokee park and all of the activity on Bardstown Road. We also have a second home and boat on Nolin Lake that is our sanctuary from the city. Being on the lake brings us such happiness! My family and I like to travel year round, but especially in the summer when our children are out of school.

Why they chose this property

After spending a couple of years looking for the perfect lake property, we found Timber Lake Lodge. With a private 40-acre wooded estate and direct access to one of the most beautiful & serene coves in all of Nolin Lake, we couldn't find anything in two years of searching of this caliber available at Nolin or any other lake in the state of Kentucky. We knew this was the spot we wanted for our second home with its location in the middle of Nolin Lake for our boat, and the short path to the lake directly in front of the house. We feel blessed to be able to share it with others.
