This home does have lake access.

This is the perfect place to enjoy a quiet getaway without the busyness of the city! In case you forget something, there are several local mini markets (Webb’s and Sailings) close by and a Dollar General Market about 10 minutes (5 miles) away. One of the local Amish stores has amazing donuts on Saturday mornings and a Walmart is just 30 minutes away in Leitchfield.

Please be advised the US Corps of Engineers own Nolin Lake and is used for flood control. Lake access is best during the summer as the Corps lowers the lake (25 to 30 feet) starting late October. Due to flood control aspects of the lake, the walk up and down to the water is steep, and some guests might find it difficult. Winter pool is 25-30 feet below summer pool. Which makes the lake inaccessible during winter months. During rainy seasons the lake has been known to go 25 ft above summer pool. Also making the lake hard to access. We try very hard to keep the access to the lake available but sometimes the levels change drastically and are hard to keep up. We do the best we can. The water levels can be checked at the Nolin River website.

Owners reside next door and the property has exterior security cameras.

Two dogs (under 50 pounds each) are allowed for a pet fee of $75/trip. Please be sure to add them to your reservation prior to checking out.

We had a terrific stay. I would definitely stay here again! The house is comfortable and clean. Everything you need if you want to cook. The weather was perfect for an evening campfire. Mammoth Cave is nearby and a trip to the Zoo, Kentucky Down Under was a highlight. You can feed a kangaroo or two or several.

Disliked: Location
The property was clean and had everything we needed. The fire pit and games made the evenings enjoyable. The bedrooms need room darkening shades. The kitchen was well equipped except there was no salt! Unfortunately, the water level in the lake was low so we could not use the kayaks. The proximity to Mammoth Cave was awesome!
