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!

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.

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 an absolutely wonderful stay at this Kentucky home! It was the perfect setup for our group of two families with five kids—plenty of space for everyone to spread out, relax, and enjoy time together without ever feeling crowded.The property itself is beautiful—peaceful, well-maintained, and the kind of place where you instantly feel like you’re on vacation. The outdoor deck spaces were especially great for the kids to play, while the adults could unwind and take in the scenery.The amenities truly made the stay exceptional. Everything we could have possibly needed was provided, and then some. From the well-stocked kitchen to the comfortable living spaces and thoughtful extras throughout the home, it was clear the hosts put a lot of care into creating a welcoming and convenient experience.Speaking of the hosts—they were incredible. So thoughtful, responsive, and genuinely invested in making sure our stay was perfect. It’s rare to find that level of hospitality, and it really made a difference.We would absolutely stay here again and highly recommend it to other families or groups looking for a relaxing and memorable getaway!

A family dream house with endless activities for kids and adults. We loved how much there is to do in the area and we saw so much wildlife. It was quiet and beautiful. We didn’t want to leave!

About the host

Hosted by Lee and Blake

Host profile image
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.
