House had a very bad musty moldy smell. Pictures of the listing need to be updated. The furnace filter was very bad and was having hard time blowing we replaced the filter. The house was at 80 degrees when we arrived . lake access would've been nice. we were there for business the house was worked ok for us but i wouldn't want it for vacation.

Lake views, not lake access

This is a great lake house if you want lake views, but don't want to access the lake. The property is beautiful, the house is large enough and relaxing and the neighborhood is quiet. The host was quick to respond and very friendly. What I suggest for a potential renters: read the reviews (I did not) and didn't realize there was no direct access to the lake from the property. I also think given the number of complaints about this, the property description should state as such. It's a good 40 minutes to Mammoth Caves, not 17 as mentioned in the description. If you're going to the caves, be sure to plan accordingly. It was clean to the eye, but we did notice some minor issues (dead, dried bugs in the bathrooms, small stains on the towels and pillow shams, etc.) that could've been cleaned properly and made for a nicer stay. As long as you manage your expectations, you'll enjoy your stay.

Mammoth Cave Vacation

The cottage worked out great for our annual National Park vacation. This year we visited Mammoth Cave, and the cottage location was located about 30/45 minutes away and worked out precfectly for our needs - a comfortable place to sleep and relax after a day of cave tours (which are all awesome) and enjoy a nightcap on the deck overlooking the lake. One thing, if you plan on doing any cooking or grilling you will need to bring all the supplies, including condiments and seasoning, other then that, I would recommend the Lake House to anyone wishing staying the area. We enjoyed are stay and if we ever return to the area, we would stay here again. Thanks for sharing your cottage with our family.

Beautiful view, clean, roomy, nice yard & deck.

Over-all happy with our stay. My only complaint is I don’t think the listing was very clear that it didn’t have lake access. But it was clean, comfortable, had nice bedrooms, bathrooms and a beautiful deck, yard & fire pit. Recommend for those who don’t prefer lake access.

Lots of space!

The 3 bedrooms and 3 baths were awesome! The kitchen was large as was the living room/dining room combo! It was a great experience overall! Some reviews said 20 minutes to Mammoth Cave entrance, but that is just to one of the park’s entry points. The visitor’s center and cave tours are about an hour away. Make sure you give yourself plenty of time to get there. Great family weekend! I definitely recommend this place!

So close, but so far away.

I’ve never booked a VRBO but decided to try it to book a fun weekend lake getaway with my husband and two teenagers. It was nice that we each had our own bedrooms and bathrooms. The kitchen and living room space was adequate. Unfortunately, we all had stiff backs from the uncomfortable mattresses, which is why there is no place like home. :) What was most disappointing was seeing that the next door neighbors had direct access to the lake with their own private dock but this property has not done the same. Building a dock to swim and fish off of is needed.

Short Drive to Mammoth Cave

My husband and I with our friends and their 4 year-old son really enjoyed staying at this house! It was very comfortable and well stocked with amenities. The deck on the back of the house has been enlarged since the pictures were taken and looks twice as big - and the fire pit is quite large and we used it both nights (and made s'mores). We visited Mammoth Cave which was an easy drive from this house.

Great set up with an amazing view

My husband and I, with our 5 and 7 year old enjoyed our stay. The living room was a highlight of the place, with its long back wall, lined with large windows, overlooking lake Nolan. The place is clean and well maintained with enough space for each family never to have their secluded down times and private bathrooms. Kids loved the small amenities of extra books and games. Will likely revisit and recommend to friends. Thanks for everything!

The layout and cleanliness of the house was great. The firepit area was really nice as well. You could see the lake through the trees but it was limited. There was also no way to actually access the water but for our trip it met our needs!

Overall, our stay was great! A full bathroom for each bedroom was excellent! The yard has a steep drop off to the lake, there was dock access from a trail off the road, but steps were very steep! Not ideal for an adventurous toddler! Older kids were able to navigate, but you are unable to see the dock from the yard, so had to be with them.
