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.

My best friend and I came for a weekend getaway. The property was perfect - secluded but a close drive to nearby caves, restaurants and coffee spots. Would definitely stay again
We had a great stay here while out sightseeing with our kids and dog! Lake is beautiful and our kids loved the yard. Would be awesome to use in the summer when lake is in full swing.
Myself and 5 friends stayed at this property for a few days during Easter weekend and it was perfect. The kitchen is well stocked and the fire pit was really nice. We were able to use the grill as well. Would definitely stay here again.
Overall, the trip was great. We had an absolute blast and the house was perfect. It was quiet, easy to get to, and had a great view. I would definitely want to stay here again.
Lovely spot on the lake in a very quiet neighborhood with lots of wildlife. We saw deer every day! The house was nicely furnished and extremely clean. The check in and check out process was very easy. Perfect place to stay for our day trip to Mammoth Cave.
The hosts were wonderful. Very communicative and helpful when we experienced a slight snafu. The place is super clean and nice. Good amenities. Games were a bonus with my son! Peaceful area also. Definitely recommend and would return.
Nice little lake house, good property with a dock on the water. Some more amenities would have been nice, like soap/shampoo in the shower. Great place to hang out and in a great location.
We enjoyed our stay! The house was very comfortable. We especially appreciated the large living room and the well-stocked kitchen. The drive to Mammoth Cave was not bad at all. If we return to this area, we'd definitely stay at this house again.
The home was exactly as advertised. Right on the lake and very beautiful and quiet. It was so relaxing to drink morning coffee on the deck overlooking the lake watching the sunrise. Location is close to a multitude of great hiking opportunities. If you want to get away, this is the place!
My family and I had a wonderful stay. The house was very accommodating and the view of the lake was perfect. We enjoyed canoeing and exploring the caves and just relaxing in the lake. The host were great to communicate with and made us feel welcomed.
Beautiful property. We booked the property for a family birthday getaway. The house was perfect size, clean, very well stocked and so inviting. Check in was very easy, the property owners are very helpful and respond quickly. Will definitely rent this home again.
Everything was seamless and easy as our amazing hosts have thought of everything. To the easy check in process, amenities, extra blankets, modern decor and INCREDIBLE communication. The host makes you feel like family. I would highly recommend this place.
Clean, well-appointed retreat. Very comfortable. Very quiet and private during the week. Great sunrises on the deck. Besides the caves, plenty to do within an hour's drive.
I enjoyed swimming off their dock. The water was clear, cool and clean. My husband enjoyed fishing off the dock too. We saw deer walking by lots of birds singing. It’s a beautiful place to stay.
This was a lovely getaway on a lake! It was welcoming and clean - a home away from home. Would highly recommend if you want to be in the Mammoth Cave area. The hosts were very attentive but totally unobtrusive.
Would rate this a 5 out of 5!
The owners have thought of everything. Very clean and well stocked. Sitting out on the back deck with a view of the lake was awesome. A walk down the stairs to the dock was a leg work out but well worth it. We would definitely recommend a stay at this property.
It was awesome the stairs to the dock are a little longer than I expected but the view from there was beautiful in the morning sunrise and our host were exceptional sincerely, Laura and Scott
Super cute property right on the lake. We loved how close it was to the dam. We spent time down there at the spillway. This property has everything you need. It’s great.
Wonderfully stocked kitchen, very clean, awesome fire pit, wonderful porch overlooking backyard and lake, great dock for swimming and fishing. Comfortable furniture and beds. Our son loved the huge bathtub in the master bathroom! We hope to return again. Thank you to the Raleigh family for a great place to stay!
Clean and comfortable house right on Lake Nolan. Everything we needed to cook, spend time as a family unplugged, visit the lake, or a short drive to Mammoth Cave was easy. Owners have clearly put time and love into this property. Would 100% recommend.
