Beautiful and cozy
We loved the home! It’s beautiful, cozy and quiet! Our stay was fantastic and we would definitely stay again! Our only suggestion is that the directions, even using the alternate directions, did not get us to the home. This could be because it was dark. We would suggest giving directions to Circle Drive rather than the large building. Once we found Circle Drive, we found the home easily.

Cozy Lakeside Home
The property was pristine and just as described. The information included was extremely detailed and helped us prepare for our relaxing stay. A short walk down the road takes you to a stunning lake and huge dock where we were able to swim and fish. It took us about an hour to get to Mammoth Caves- we didn’t get to experience the ferry because the water levels were low. Be prepared to do a bit of driving because everything is spread out but it is beautiful. Thank you for a wonderful vacation!

Kentucky Lake Cabin
This cabin is so wonderfully perfect! Our family of 5 comfortably stayed here for 5 nights. The layout allowed us togetherness with multiple options to have quiet space. The deck seating by the frog pond was our favorite retreat. The lake is a little hike away from the house, but the reward is privacy. It reminded me of undeveloped lakes in Northern Minnesota, but the water was much warmer! The Dollar Tree nearby was helpful for last-minute items. We had a baseball tournament in Elizabethtown, and ultimately wished we had stayed closer as it ended up being a lot of driving on the twisting country roads. We hope to make a return trip with more time to explore the area!

Exceptional!!
Our stay was beyond exceptional. The property owner, Jason was so incredibly kind and accommodating. He provided us a very detailed overview of the property, how to get to the lake and things to do in the area. The property was clean and inviting and we had the best time. Our kids had a blast fishing and swimming off the dock, which was secluded and the perfect little relaxation spot. I cannot recommend this property enough! If I could give 10 stars I would! Can’t wait to return!

Great Spot Near Nolin
We really enjoyed this house. It had everything we needed, plus the outdoor spaces were nice. Bed was comfortable but had a waterproof mattress cover which makes noise every time you move. I understand that is good for cleanliness, just not perfect. The only thing negative I would say is this house is not really "lakefront." You cannot see the lake from the house and the walk to the dock is a little long and precarious. We rented a boat both days and it was easy to find the dock and hang out there as well. Very private which was nice. Overall it was a great stay and I would return.

relaxing property with short drive to Mammoth Cave
Very clean cabin with lovely furnishings and décor. Plenty of extras to make it feel like home (pillows, blankets, starter supplies, kitchen tools and cookware). Although you couldn't see the lake from the home it was just a short walk to the dock for swimming and fishing. Kids were super entertained by the frog pond. Loved grilling and relaxing by a campfire with party lights. Wish we could have stayed longer!

The overall experience was excellent. The home is clean, well decorated and comfortable. The owner was quick to respond to any questions and concerns. My only complaint is there was not a lake view. There’s lake access and great outdoor spaces to use, however.

We had a wonderful experience! The lake access was terrific and so easy to access. The home was well kept, as was the yard. It was quiet and private. The home is located in a perfect location to access the Mammoth Caves, Abraham Lincoln’s birthplace, and we even made the semi-short drive to the Louisville Slugger Museum in Louisville! We were able to rent a boat from the Wax Marina, which was very enjoyable and convenient. The owner was very responsive when I locked myself and family out of the house. He was great to work with and clearly wanted us to enjoy our experience. I would highly recommend this VRBO. Thank you for helping us create more family memories!
