We loved this lake house! We had 8 adults and our dogs and it was perfect. The hill to the water is pretty steep but doable. We brought a big foldable wagon, that helped. The owners were very responsive and the lake was beautiful!! We rented a boat from wax marina and that worked out well for us too. We loved the screened-in porch for morning coffee and evening chill time. Would definitely recommend!
What an excellent property! Plenty of room for a family of ten to spread out and enjoy quality time together in the woods. The screened in porch was a big hit, and easy access to the lake had the kids busy swimming and fishing while I FINALLY beat “Ghosts ‘n Goblins” on the arcade machine in the game room (thank you Rewind button).. Highly recommend!
Beautiful, Well stocked house, accessible to the lake cove. Very steep hill down to the lake. Quiet cove. Lots of games inside & out. Fire pit with firewood & roasting sticks supplied. Must be careful with guest dock use during day keeping brief stops for supplies. Easy contact with hosts if questions. Remote, bring plenty of groceries! Loved our stay!
Property is beautiful. We had 9 adults and there was plenty of space, rooms and activities for all. Host was very communicative and quick to respond to any questions. We would definitely stay here again.
We had a great time with our family and friends over the 4th of July weekend. We even saw fireworks right from the deck! The host was very responsive and had the house stocked with all the basic necessities. The kids had an entire floor to themselves and lots of games to keep them busy. Just to clarify, the house is a few minutes walk down a hill to the lake, so it is not exactly on the lake. But a great location for Mammoth Caves and Bourbon Trail visitors.
The house was beautiful, well stocked with everything you could think of. Very clean and our host went out of his way to make sure our stay was excellent! Would highly recommend!!
Our entire family thoroughly enjoyed our vacation at Cub Run! We spent our days exploring Mammoth Cave, renting kayaks at Wax Marina, and swimming at the Iberia Recreation Area. There is also a great playground available at Dog Creek. There was plenty to do for everyone.The home was the perfect size for our group of 8 adults and 3 kids. Since we prefer cooking our meals on vacation, the kitchen got a lot of use, and we definitely put the dishwasher to work! There were so many comfortable places for everyone to gather, relax, and enjoy each other's company.Thank you for sharing your wonderful home with our family. We made great memories and would happily stay here again!
We had a great time and everything we could ask for was there! I love all of the recommendations that they gave us ahead of time to help plan where to shop and visit.
Perfect family vacation spot! Kids enjoyed the downstairs tremendously and adults enjoyed the main level. Beautiful place, inside and out! Hosts were extremely responsive to my questions before arrival. If come back to this area, we will definitely stay here again!
My family came down with two other families and had a great time. The house was really nice and well-kept. The access to the lake was great and the kids loved playing on the floating raft. We would definitely stay there again.
House was clean and well stocked. No problems with check in and had a wonderful stay. Everything exactly as described and fantastic. Would stay again if in area.

Thank you for the 5-star review! We’re thrilled to hear you had a wonderful stay at our cabin and that everything met your expectations. It’s great to know the check-in was smooth, and the cabin was clean and well-stocked for your visit. We’d love to welcome you back next time you’re in the area!
We had a great time in the water . The house had plenty of room for everyone to have their own space . I was involved in a car accident the week before the stay so the hill down to the water almost killed me , but overall a great time was had by all
The house was great - really suited our needs - the lower level family area was especially great as were the toys there for the littles to use. It was a wonderful trip for us.

About the host
Hosted by Lee and Blake
We grew up in Kentucky and have lived in several states and are now Very happy to call Kentucky home again, especially after being stationed overseas in the military and moving for work multiple times. We have experienced living in other places across the country but truly love everything that Kentucky has to offer and hope to share our getaway with you.
Why they chose this property
We fell in love with this property based on the ability to accommodate a large group of friends and family and the proximity to both Nolin Lake and Kentucky's only National Park .
What makes this property unique
This property has WONDERFUL entertaining spaces! From the open main floor living area that extends to the large deck or the large basement that includes multiple televisions and games for both children and adults that also extends to a large covered porch. The basement bar was hand built using bourbon staves (3 full barrels) and pays homage to the uniqueness of the history of Kentucky Bourbon.
