Lakefront home near Mammoth Cave earns praise for its beautiful lake views, roomy layout for groups, and well-stocked kitchen, with many guests enjoying the large deck and relaxed, quiet setting away from busier areas.
It is generally 30-45 minutes to Mammoth Cave, and a few note the neighborhood feels a bit odd and the county is dry. Lake access and amenities can be inconsistent: high water or obstacles sometimes limit dock use, some kayaks or paddles need attention, and the fire pit or grill may be basic or dirty. Cleanliness is usually good, though several report deep-clean or maintenance gaps, occasional odors or a wet yard from septic issues, and limited amenities like no washer/dryer or TVs in some rooms. Expect a spacious, view-focused retreat best for relaxing by the lake.

We had a great extended family weekend - everything was as expected. Plenty of space indoors and outdoors to relax together. The dock was not accessible due to the high water level (we knew that the water level would be unknown until we got there), everything else was wonderful!

This was the perfect end of summer getaway for our family, we did a couple of fun things including touring Mammoth Cave and horse back riding, but most of the time we swam in the lake, took the kayaks out that were provided with this house, cooked, and relaxed. We absolutely loved just getting away for a few days! The only downside is there is no washer and dryer. Wasn't a big deal because we only stayed 4 days, but if it were a week I could see laundry definitely piling up.

My family had a great time here. We have 4 adults and 4 kids and didn't feel on top of each other. My 4 year old asked if we can come back the next year. pros- very open living area upstairs- very cosy living area downstairs- great views everywhere- big and well furnished deck. - kids loved the kayaks- kitchen was a good size and well stocked- hosts were easy going and communicated well. - loft bedroom was more helpful than we thought it would be. - furniture was newer and in great condition.- yard had a nice flat area compared to most river/lake houses- no fees for my doggie- very cleanCons:- mattresses were cheap and not comfortablenotes:- 45 minutes to Mammoth Cave visiter center- Dock access was blocked by flooding, but not hosts fault and it was spring so we didn't need it. - Some reviews said that it didn't have a firepit. It has a firepit but its rudimentary, but it didn't bother us. We had fires 2 nights.- dock was pretty small. We were not there to swim, but if we were. It would have been a problem.

View was great, planned to do some fishing but the lakes water level was too high to get to our dock.Not the owners fault though.Scenery was beautiful, the cabin was very roomy and nicer than we expected.Had a lot of fun around the fire pit with good friends. Owner has been in contact with me since the day I reserved the stay. I definitely recommend, and we will be back!

Loved the space and the lakeview! All the needed things were supplied! Nicely decorated! No fire pit as listed in the amenities. Grill was pretty dirty and remnants from other guests caught fire before we even cooked, so we had to clean thoroughly before use.

This is our second year and we love it. However we have a one year old now. He will be two next year and his sister 6 months. We may have to go sone where else for several years and then come back. Too many steps and steep terrains . But we think it is great, just maybe not for active toddlers.

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.

This was great place with a beautiful view of the lake! We got lucky with really nice October weather to use the lake but we were only able to use 2 of the kayaks due to only 2 paddles available and 2 of the kayaks had holes in them. It was a little more off the beaten path then we expected but no the less we really enjoyed it!

Needs a good deep cleaning, lots of sticky surfaces, dirty oven, crumbs in the pantry and cabinets.We had a problem getting access to the lake because of a downed tree and a gap between the stairs and the dock. The owner responded that this is normal. We would have enjoyed swimming from the dock but couldn’t reach it from shore.

We enjoyed our stay. The home had lots of space for our family. The kitchen had most everything we needed, except enough silverware. Our one disappointment was finding a stack of dirty dishes in the cabinet. Gross! It's hard to feel comfortable when you know something hasn't been cleaned. Everything else was as we expected.

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.

Everything was nice and clean inside. Outside there was an issue with the septic tank and the back yard was a sewage leak that made the flies and a stink. Could not use fire pit. If sewage issue fixed I would go back

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.

The stay was wonderful. There was everything you could want to have for a trip in side the lakehouse. The only thing was, in the basement room with the two double beds, the covers smelled of mildew. We chalked it up to the room being a basement room but other than that, everything was great.

This property worked well for our muti family vacation, plenty of room for everyone. This was our second stay at this house. The first time the back yard was unusable due to sepic tank issues ,very smelly and messy with concerns of what it was. This time it was worse, you couldn't even sit on the deck and enjoy the lake without smelling sewage. The dock was available due to high water, had to make a walkway out of logs and rope to be able to use it for some, my wife could not get to the dock at all. While staying all week it became an issue not having enough towels and such, with it not having a washer or dryer, they should supply more. Becarfull walking on the rock path to the dock, your gray water that you are producing, runs across them and makes them slippery. Probably will not be a third visit.

Our stay at this beautiful lakeside cabin was wonderful! The views were absolutely stunning, and the location—tucked away on a quiet street—made it the perfect spot to relax and unwind. The home offered plenty of space for our group to spread out comfortably, and we really enjoyed the café just at the edge of the neighborhood - convenient and great food! A few small suggestions that would make an already great stay even better: adding a TV on the main level (a swivel-mounted one where the clock is above the kitchen table would work perfectly), including a few dish towels in the kitchen (if they were there, I didn't find the), checking the light in the left-side main-level bedroom (it flickers), and replacing the bulb at the rear entry on the deck. None of these detracted from our experience—it was a beautiful and peaceful getaway, and we would definitely return! Check-in was easy and descriptions accurate. For those not familiar with the area, it is a dry county so come prepared if you plan on a drink with dinner.

Big enough for our party of 11, nice property close to the water. One issue was wifi didn’t work, wasn’t a huge deal for us as we came to see mammoth caves. Other reviews were accurate that there were only 7 forks which is funny since the property sleeps 14. We purchased 9 and they now have 16 forks! Lol. It was a 40 minute drive to the cave tours, but is a perfect little drive for people with kids for car naps.

Comfy place with more than enough room to rest, play games, watch movies, and eat for our group of seven. Convenient to Mammoth Cave (visitor center was about 40 minutes away).

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.

Owner has been in contact with me since the day I reserved the stay. I definitely recommend, and we will be back!

Our stay at this beautiful lakeside cabin was wonderful! The views were absolutely stunning, and the location—tucked away on a quiet street—made it the perfect spot to relax and unwind. The home offered plenty of space for our group to spread out comfortably, and we really enjoyed the café just at the edge of the neighborhood - convenient and great food! A few small suggestions that would make an already great stay even better: adding a TV on the main level (a swivel-mounted one where the clock is above the kitchen table would work perfectly), including a few dish towels in the kitchen (if they were there, I didn't find the), checking the light in the left-side main-level bedroom (it flickers), and replacing the bulb at the rear entry on the deck. None of these detracted from our experience—it was a beautiful and peaceful getaway, and we would definitely return! Check-in was easy and descriptions accurate. For those not familiar with the area, it is a dry county so come prepared if you plan on a drink with dinner.

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.

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.

The property was as described and perfect for our stay. We were there for Spring Break and unfortunately experienced the historic flooding. But the house was a great base for nearby sightseeing and relaxing.

This house was nice. Plenty of space for our family gathering. And the beds were comfy. We enjoyed the deck space & outdoor firepit. The owners were very responsive and added a nice touch with a Christmas tree in the living room. Only downside was that The neighborhood was a bit odd.

Needs a good deep cleaning, lots of sticky surfaces, dirty oven, crumbs in the pantry and cabinets.We had a problem getting access to the lake because of a downed tree and a gap between the stairs and the dock. The owner responded that this is normal. We would have enjoyed swimming from the dock but couldn’t reach it from shore.

Location
Peaceful, quiet lakeside setting about 30-45 minutes from Mammoth Cave, with small groceries nearby. Some note curvy, hilly drives, a dry county, and an odd-feeling neighborhood near the approach.

The property is nice, clean, and exactly what is communicated! It is a little further from the attractions near Mammoth Cave than expected, but overall it was a nice place that served us well.

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.

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!

Big enough for our party of 11, nice property close to the water. One issue was wifi didn’t work, wasn’t a huge deal for us as we came to see mammoth caves. Other reviews were accurate that there were only 7 forks which is funny since the property sleeps 14. We purchased 9 and they now have 16 forks! Lol. It was a 40 minute drive to the cave tours, but is a perfect little drive for people with kids for car naps.

This was great place with a beautiful view of the lake! We got lucky with really nice October weather to use the lake but we were only able to use 2 of the kayaks due to only 2 paddles available and 2 of the kayaks had holes in them. It was a little more off the beaten path then we expected but no the less we really enjoyed it!

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!

Beautiful view of water, wildlife, and trees. Well equipped property with everything we needed to cook and store food. Cute deco - fun, stylish lake theme. Comfy place with more than enough room to rest, play games, watch movies, and eat for our group of seven. Convenient to Mammoth Cave (visitor center was about 40 minutes away).

We enjoyed the view from the deck and the porch swing from this beautiful home. The beds were amazingly comfortable just like a high end hotel. There were only 2 paddles for the kayaks so we never got to use more than 2 at a time.
