Wonderful
My family and I spent Thanksgiving together in this wonderful home. The kitchen was well stocked and there was plenty of room for the 7 adults and 2 children. The kids loved the loft and the basement was a great place to curl up and watch a movie. I’m sure it’s even more fabulous in the summer with the lake. We had a great time.

Good times
Nice property off the beaten path. Secluded and quiet. Enjoyed the deck and view of the lake. Couple minor issues with the house the main one being the toilet. We had a log jam every day if our stay. this never happens back home but the toilets in this house just need replaced. If u don't want to plunge in vacation I would rent a different place.

Lake weekend with friends
My buddies and I rented this house for a weekend over the summer. The house was perfect. We spent the weekend swimming and fishing. The fishing is really good right off the dock. This is an awesome house. Definitely recommend

Great family weekend
The property was perfect for a family getaway. The house was clean and stocked with all the essentials you would need. The 2 big decks were a favorite spot to hang out and watch the sunset. I would absolutely recommend it.

Beautiful Lakeside Home on a Hill
This beautiful property provided everything we needed. We had 4 adults and 3 children ranging in ages from 3 to 68. We had a wonderful time visiting Mammoth Cave and Dinosaur World and spent our mornings and evenings fishing off the dock. We would definitely stay here again.

It was a beautiful house and property. Well stocked and ample sleeping space. Only I and a half bath. Another full bath and it would have been perfect. Full fridge downstairs would be nice. Small fridge downstairs did not work. Over all a beautiful rental. Thank you.

Luxury Lake Vacation!
If you are looking for that PERFECT, quiet, lake getaway - stop scrolling and book this place NOW! This was absolutely the best vacation home we have ever stayed in. The views are breathtaking, the lake perfect for fishing, boating and swimming, The sunsets were out of this world. The home had everything you could ask for: fully stocked kitchen, washer/dryer, dishwasher, towels, yard games, board games, hammock, firepit, tvs in every room..... and CLEAN. Everything just smelled CLEAN when you walked in. What to bring with you? You are literally in no-man's-lind, so stop at a grocery and get shampoo, conditioner, a bar of soap, and whatever you'll need to eat while you're there. There's no groceries or food for a good 30 minutes (walmart is about 50 minutes). This property was just heavenly for the week. No noise, 1 or 2 bars of free wifi (which is just enough if you HAVE to use the computer, but also just enough to keep the kids off their devices and down the lake fishing instead!) 48 minutes to the visitor center at Mammoth Caves. I can't say enough about this place. 10 stars!!!

Loved Nolin River Lake!
The decks were great. The stairs to the lake were many but well built and maintained. The deck was good but could use a better ladder, it was difficult to get out of the water onto the deck. The swimming although deep was excellent. We had terrific weather. The upstairs loft was good. I thought the basement bedrooms and bathroom were somewhat awkward. Suggestions: put mirrors and towel hooks in both bedrooms. Put more towel racks/hooks in the full bathroom as well.

Fantastic Place to Relax
This home provided everything we wanted. The lake view on the incredible decks were wonderful. The loft, the downstairs, and the great room met our needs when it came to enjoying together or some one wanting to go to bed earlier than others. Pictures of home are very accurate. We rented a pontoon and enjoyed diving at the home. Our granddaughters really liked jumping into the lake…a first for them. Please note…this home is definitely located far from a supermarket or restaurants. There is a great Mexican restaurant on the way to Mammoth Cave. There is also a great restaurant at the Wax Marina. Be sure to tour the cave. A simple tour is the Frozen Niagara. Our three granddaughters, including the youngest who is 3 , were able to enjoy. Highly recommend going to the water park in Bowling Green…about an hour from the house. Be sure to eat at Micki’s on Main in the historical part of town. It was excellent. Our granddaughters even liked the food a lot. One full bath meant planning for 7 people…and we did that just fine. Movie night on the large sectional in family room was terrific. My husband and I have rented many different homes and condos from VRBO over the years. This one was quite good and lived up to our expectations.

Family get away
This was a wonderful property for our extended family to spend a getaway. The house was spacious and very clean. The master bedroom was blocked off , so there was only one full bathroom, but this really wasn’t a problem. The decks overlooking the lake are amazing for viewing the sunset. We really liked having our own boat slip/dock for swimming and bringing people on and off boat. There are 150+ steps up from lake dock to house, so be ready to do a stairs workout. The couch in the basement was really comfy. Four people slept comfortably on the couch. The loft upstairs had two bunks that slept 4 people each. This house comfortably slept 16 people, using the sectional downstairs for sleeping. There are two arcade games in the loft and a fusball table for the kids. Would definitely stay here again.

Hidden Gem
House was great overall and we would definitely recommend. Indoor spaces and outdoor views did not disappoint! The lake was a fabulous surprise… clear, warm water with very few boats. We bought rafts to float on while the kids jumped off the dock/swam/fished/hunted for geodes along the bank. Kayaks would be an awesome addition to this home ;) Boys (ages 9, 12, 13, and 14) also loved the sleeping loft and sand/fire area. We were able to travel to mammoth caves and do some really fun zip lining while staying at the house. Drive to get anywhere was 30-45 minutes so pack and plan accordingly and enjoy this relaxing vaca!

The property was very nicely appointed - all very comfortable furniture and beds but the outdoor space is what really made the weekend! The HUGE covered decks and seating areas let us take full advantage of the great views and nature. I would definitely stay at this property again. Proximity to Mammoth Cave was great! Very pretty lake!

Mammoth Cave Spring Break
We just spent 5 very relaxing nights at this home over spring break. My pre teen boys loved the bunk room and big comfy couch on the ground floor. The lake water level was low but the views were still gorgeous. The kitchen was great- fully stocked with high quality pans and utensils. The master bedroom is off limits to renters so everyone had to share the small full bathroom off of the laundry room on the ground floor. The beds are comfortable but the two downstairs bedrooms are windowless. That is truly the only downside and not really a big deal. In all, we had a great time at the house and surrounding parks. Well worth it.

Great spot
We had a great time, the view was beautiful and the location was great. I wasn’t sure about the dock set up based on the listing but there is a dock, easily accessible, we rented a pontoon boat from wax marina for two days and it was nice to be able to dock the boat and go up for lunch or forgotten necessities. I was nervous about the bathroom situation since there’s only one full bath and one 1/2 but it worked out fine, I wouldn’t let that deter you from this property. The loft was awesome for the teenagers and the adults stayed in the super comfy basement, we could not hear them which was perfect. The outdoor patio and seating on the porch was awesome. There were way more amenities in the kitchen than I anticipated I way over packed. Do you keep in mind, they provide bath linens but not beach towels. I would highly recommend this house!!

Overall Great Property
This property was great. All of our needs were covered. The shower situation was not ideal, but was manageable and the stairs down to the dock were long but good exercise (around 300 round trip). The location was somewhat remote but that helped make it peaceful. Approximately 30 minutes to Mammoth Cave, 15 minutes to Nolin River State Park, 20 minutes to a Grocery Store, and 40 minutes to Walmart.

Peaceful but far
It’s was nice on the Nolin lake, but a drive to anything like Mammoth Cave or groceries. It would be nice during the summer to spend all day boating and hanging on the huge deck. We did have a problem with a leaky sink that didn’t get fixed.
