Lakefront home near Mammoth Cave
About this house rental
This home is perfect for your family gathering. Located on Nolin Lake in Brier creek, right off the main channel of the lake. Swimming, boating, fishing, paddle boarding, canoeing and kayaking are perfect activities here. Enjoy Wifi and 200+ channels including Netflix and Amazon prime video. *Mammoth Cave is approximately 20 minute drive. *Blue Holler Off-road Park is 10 minute drive *There are golf courses, horseback riding, Amish shops and the state park beach/play area are within minutes of this home. Please be advised Nolin Lake is owned by the US Corp of Engineers and is used for flood control. Lake access is best during the summer as the Corp lowers the lake (25 / 30 feet) starting late October. Due to the flood control aspect of the lake, the walk up and down to the water can be steep and some guest might find it difficult. There is a boat ramp 1/4 mile away that you can launch and recover your boat very easily with parking at the ramp (parking can be limited on weekends). Swimming is available off the shoreline, or at the boat ramp, or one of the nearby public beaches (Nolin Lake State Park). This home is equipped with outdoor security cameras

Not what I expected. I never rented a house from vrbo or their competitors that didn’t include a washer/dryer and a tv in the bedroom. Not bad. Won’t be back. Cleaner needs to clean under things.

Very cute home! We had a family of 10 with 2 dogs and the home layout was very accommodating for our family groups. It can sleep up to 12 comfortably with nice beds and comfy linens. The listing shows up to 14 but not sure where 2 more people would sleep. The kitchen was well stocked with plenty of pots and pans and dishes. We enjoyed the lower level with walk out for the convenience of taking out the dogs. Driving in, the neighborhood was a little sketchy, but once we turned the corner, the homes were nice. The drive to Mammoth Caves visitor center was about 35-40 minutes so not too far to travel. We enjoyed our stay!

The property met all expectations and then some. Nicely situated. Great layout for our family group. Stayed in late fall so did not use the lake, but enjoyed the views. Worked great for accessing Mammoth Cave National Park. Nice and cozy place! Very enjoyable stay!

Beautiful view of the lake very quiet area. The house was very nice needs new sofa in basement area. Beds were comfortable. Property manager was not very responsive. Some amenities were lacking, ie. flatware, firewood.

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay here. It was close to Mammoth Cave National Park. And we loved being so close to Nolin Lake. I would definitely recommend this house if you're looking for a weekend getaway. We had 13 adults and were perfectly comfortable.

We stayed at this wonderful home for a visit to Mammoth Cave. It is a beautiful setting and the house had everything we needed. (Except forks, there were only 7 LOL) The beds were comfortable and everyone slept great, even the baby. Lots of room with the two levels and the upper loft bedroom. I would say a quick 20-30 minute ride to the cave. We were hoping to do some type of bourbon tasting around the area, but dry counties everywhere. BYOB We found two smaller grocery stores in the area, but if you need specialty items, bring them with you. All in all a great stay!

We are a group of 5 guys that visited the area to ride our motorcycles. The house was perfect for us. 5 separate sleeping areas worked great. The deck on back over looks the lake and was a great place to gather at the end of the day. There is a Dollar General Market just a few miles down the road which was well stocked for groceries. We came to ride and although we were prepared for unpaved roads, we couldn’t find any. Every road in Kentucky was paved and smooth. It is a very scenic area with friendly folks everywhere. I would definitely recommend visiting.

The home was perfect. We went to do some hiking and tours at Mammoth cave. We ended up hanging out at the house because it was so relaxing. Sitting on the deck watching the lake, having a fire, and kayaking. This was the perfect weekend getaway. Thank you.

This is our 4th time staying here and it just keeps getting better. The house was super clean, beautifully updated, well stocked and you can’t beat the setting. The dock was perfect to use for swimming and floating. Thanks for a perfect place to stay. Our friends loved it too and can’t wait to come back.

A group of friends and I booked to enjoy a couple days of fishing on the lake and we enjoyed this property so much. The check in/ check out process was easy. The property owner was wonderful to deal with and very responsive to messages. The property was clean and well maintained. Very quiet and peaceful area with a great back deck to enjoy the views on. Would recommend this place to anyone.

This lake house was super adorable. The layout made it comfortable for my family of 8 adults and 2 children to comfortably spend time together while still allowing us space to do our own things as well. The kitchen had EVERYTHING we needed. We were secluded enough that we didn't feel the hustle and bustle of every day life but also not so far from everything that we couldn't enjoy the local activities. The steps down to the lake are a bit steep just as a heads up. But they were well maintained and it seemed like most stair cases around the lake are about the same given the terrain. We all absolutely loved our vacation here and would definitely return if we ever found ourselves in the area again! Thank you!

Nice place. Plenty of space for 4 adults & 3 teens. Loved the outside space, covered deck and patio. Beds were comfortable, kitchen was great. Kids loved the swimming area. Not far from a grocery store and Mammoth Caves. The cons were that some beds were not clean and the floors had not been cleaned properly either. The drainfield (backyard) was wet the whole 3 days we were there. Firepit area too wet to have a campfire. Lawn got mowed while we were gone and the wet grass clippings were blown all over the back patio and then tracked in the house. Overall if these things were fixed I'd recommend this place.

The lake was great for swimming and kayaking. The deck was outstanding for hanging out and enjoying the view. The house itself was very nice and could comfortably sleep 12 adults. The drive in and out of the neighborhood was very curvy and hilly and not close to much without driving 45 minutes or so. This home is an excellent choice for staying put and hanging out with your friends and/or family, but not great if you want to go to restaurants and more city-type activities. While we were there we went to Mammoth Cave and Kentucky Down Under, which were really great and pretty close to the home.

The home was very clean and comfortable. The kitchen was well stocked. The dock space was perfect for the two boats that we brought. We didn’t have power for the first day and a half due to a storm. The owner provided a generator and was helpful in keeping us updated on when we should expect the power to come back on.

The place was really clean, beds very comfortable. They had plenty of dishes and towels. We rented it for 13 people but only 8 showed up so plenty of beds for everyone. It was myself , my daughter and so in law, her oldest son ( my grandson) and his girlfriend, my 2 teenage grandsons and my teenage granddaughter. They all had a great time using the kayaks and fishing. I even went out on kayak the last day and it was fun. We used the fire pit to make s'mores. Loved the place didn't want to leave. It was so peaceful and relaxing sitting on the patio and watching the river. Love to go back sometime

Very nice property, beautiful view of the lake. Adequate space, well equipped kitchen. Beds were comfortable. Outside furniture was adequate. However, the house needs a good cleaning - above what one person can accomplish in an afternoon between customers. The furniture was very stained and worn. Years of built up dust on fans, baseboards and under furniture. The bathroom door nobs edges of doors were very dirty. Gas grill was very dirty (planned to use but could not), there was no wood for fire ring we had hoped to use. The company was great and we had a good time in spite of this. I really don't like to be critical but we have been vacationing through VRBO for years and this is the first time we have been disappointed. I hope the owners will take this reference to heart and have the place thoroughly cleaned - its a health issue.

This was our second time staying here. It is the perfect location for my children to all meet. Some live in Georgia, while the rest of us live in northern Indiana. We love this house and it's quietness from the hustle and bustle of life. Would highly recommend!

We loved the area. Wish we were earlier to be able to use the lake but it was peaceful

Overall, we did enjoy our stay. The only downside was that it seemed a lot of steps had been missed during cleaning the home (dirty sheets and towels left on the floor, trash not taken out). The host had the housekeeper come over the next day, which I do appreciate, and I hope this was just a fluke. The view is beautiful!

This was a great place for our family to use as home base. Not too far from mammoth cave, plus great views of the lake. There was lots to do at the house as well like a fire pit, kayaking, board games etc. I would recommend this house for a famil trip!

Overall, this was a great place to stay, and we'd rent again in the future. The lake was gorgeous and warm in September. Everybody enjoyed the dock for swimming & kayaks for exploring. The house had everything we needed for our stay.
We did experience a couple small issues. First off, the tap water was undrinkable, due to a musty/moldy taste. We went out and bought bottled water for drinking. Since this wasn't mentioned in the listing or prior reviews, I'm guessing it's not always this way and likely was out of the host's control.
Second, we couldn't figure out how to use the Netflix & Amazon Prime video as mentioned in the listing. We opted not to reach out to the host for assistance, since there were plenty of other things to do.

Beautiful property and quiet. Extremely clean. Plenty of beds and room for all 9 of us. Would definitely come back in summer to enjoy the dock and swimming. Thanks!
