Robins Nest nestled on Nolin Lake! Boat parking onsite & close to the boat ramp!

Wonderful cabin to stay in, very clean with all the amenities, plus the area was nice and quiet. Lots of wildlife, we saw a variety of birds, geko, deer, and a huge owl that flew out of the tree. Owners Jamie and Nicki were responsive to our questions, and helpful to us planning the trip. The Ferry was running while we were there and that cut down our drive significantly for the activities in the area. We loved the location, lots of things to do in the area. We will definitely book again with The Robin’s Nest!

Amazing property just as listed, had a blast. The host was very chill and communicative. My kiddo loved the toys they put out. Will definitely go there again.

Everything worked great except wifi connection.

Wonderful little cabin located at Nolan Lake close to mammoth caves

The house was nice and private and not too far from Mammoth Cave. We enjoyed the large porch. The listing advertised WiFi, however, we were without WiFi for the entire duration of our stay. The owner was responsive, but failed to resolve the issue and provided solutions that did not work nor were feasible with us being at the park the whole day. Note that there is little to no reception, so having no WiFi and no reception made it impossible to put in directions or make calls. I’ve managed vacation rentals myself, and most places these days have a router connected to a mobile device where the owner can resolve the issue. We would have appreciated someone stopping by as well to try and troubleshoot. There was also an exterior camera that was constantly recording which made us feel that there was limited privacy and could have been turned off after we arrived. The overall rating reflects the above comments…

Our stay was fantastic! Everything was beautiful. Very clean and well stocked. The host was responsive and helpful!

Very cute place. The wrap around porch is awesome!

Thank you for a wonderful stay. The surprise in the Frig was so very sweet. Thank you. We will definitely stay at The Robins Nest again. Burke and Diedra

We had the absolute best time in Kentucky! This house is adorable. The only thing I was surprised to find was that there is one queen bed in the master bedroom and only one small full-size bed upstairs. I don’t know if the pictures on the listing confused me, but I thought there were more beds. We made it work and had a great time! The kitchen was awesome, included everything we needed to be able to cook what we wanted. The fire pit was great and came with two marshmallow roasting sticks! Everything was clean and beautifully decorated. Would recommend!!!

Convenient location and cozy, bright cabin. We had a great stay.

Kitchen was equipped with all utensils and cookware. Everything was very clean and comfortable

Everything was great

Fabulous stay! Loved the wrap around deck! Comfortable bed! CLEAN, CLEAN, CLEAN! That's what's most important to us!

We stayed at this property over the weekend. We chose it based on the reviews. Which I'm sure many people make decisions on travel properties by reading reviews just as we did. However, some of the items in the reviews we found to not be quite the same for our stay. We definitely can't give this place 5 stars.Overall for what we paid it didn't match the 5 star reviews. We give it 3 stars. The hosts were really great about messaging us and answering questions. We did have an issue with the shower not draining properly. We messaged the hosts and they responded immediately. Less than ten minutes later they had a maintenance guy out to fix it.The bedroom downstairs has very thin see thru curtains. Anyone can see right inside and at night I was not comfortable. We ended up putting blankets over the windows. The downstairs bedroom has a closet but its where the cleaning company shoves everything from the vacuum to toilet paper. It was just thrown in. AwfulCleanliness---in some areas--- NO in others. There were lots of cobwebs hanging in corners in the bedroom downstairs. Cobwebs hanging in the overhead doorway of sliding barn door going into the bathroom. Dryer and washer were dirty with sand and roþcks in the dryer. Pots in lazy Susan in corner by coffee pot were nasty. Coffee pot had to be completely cleaned before my husband could use it.

Great place to stay

The cabin is tucked into a quiet neighborhood. It was peaceful in the evening and has a nice firepit for evening fires. The cabin was comfortable for four adults with indoor and outdoor seating. The cabin is about a 40 minute drive to the visitors center at Mammoth Cave National Park.

A slice of heaven!

The cabin itself is great and is well-air conditioned and equipped. Our three kids loved the loft and it was nice having kitchen to have breakfast in before going out to explore Mammoth Cave and go horseback riding. We also liked the porch, but were not out on it much, as we discovered there was a hornet’s nest in the bird feeder on the porch. The neighborhood is fairly run down, and some of the roads are blocked off as “private”, so we couldn’t drive around to see the lake. We had planned to utilize the Nolin Lake State Park beach while we were there in mid-July, but were surprised to learn the beach had been closed since April when there were damaging floods. There was no immediate indication when googling the beach that it was closed, so it was a disappointment. We ended up leaving a day early because we’d run out of family activities to do. If you are looking for fresh(ish) food, make sure to pack it and bring it with you, as the shops within a 40 min drive are really limited with their offerings.

We thought the cottage was quiet and secluded. Everything was easily accessible and the porch was perfect for a morning cup of coffee. The firepit was far enough from the house to not make everything smell Smokey. Wildlife was beautiful to include a skink (lizard), deer, cat and a screech owl at night. The Lakeside Cafe at the end of the road was absolutely delicious! Pizzas were amazing and cinnamon rolls and breakfast casseroles were scrumptious before heading out to the caves.

Robins Nest had everything we needed to have fun including games for the kids.

Everything was wonderful. This place was perfect for our 23rd wedding Anniversary.

Quaint little cabin. Beds were comfortable. AC worked well during the heat wave. Deer visited the property daily.Locals were friendly. Nice little restaurant nearby. Grocery stores were few and far between.

Great cabin for a short summer vacation in Mammoth Cave. Very easy check in, check out process. One of the cleanest vrbo we had stayed in. Very comfortable and nicely decorared. Keep in mind, driving to the park visitor center is about 40 minutes. That is where all cave tours start. We really enjoyed biking and hiking in the park as well. Also, keep in mind that Nolin lake park is closed due to flood damage. I didnt realized it and was kind of dissapointed that we couldnt use their beach area and hiking trails. Overall it was a great stay. Recommended.

A great spot and grest deck! Everything was perfect.

Overall enjoyed our stay at Robin’s Nest. Peaceful place to relax after a day of exploring! The place was spacious for a family of four. Would stay there again if ever in Mammoth Cave, KY area again.

Very clean. Very nice place. Comminication with the owner was great. Quiet neighborhood. Fantastic stay.

Quiet and peaceful stay in a cute cabin. Would have preferred some better skillets and knives for that last star in the rating! Would stay there again. Very comfortable bed!

Cute cabin with everything you need, extremely clean and comfortable. Perfect for our short stay.

We really enjoyed sitting on the porch and listening to nature.

Our family just stayed for two nights here to visit Mammoth Cave and it was the perfect cabin. We spent a ton of time on the giant covered porch enjoying the outdoors and fresh air. The kids loved playing and sleeping up in the loft and the adults appreciated the kitchen with all we needed to cook dinners.

Good

We stayed at Robin’s Nest on our way from Florida to Illinois. This is a lovely cabin, and we really enjoyed it (despite an unusual amount of rainfall for this area, April 2025). Our host was accommodating and responded quickly to my questions. The house is has most everything you’ll need. We would stay again! Things to know: The county is dry so BYOB, there is a DG Market close by, a small grocery store is 15-20 drive away. Because we were road tripping I had a cooler with food supplies so we could cook in.We loved Lakeside Cafe for breakfast (Bonnie & Daryl are great) and Webb’s Roadside Mart/Grill on HWY 78. Seriously the BEST ribeye steak dinner!

My daughter and I thoroughly enojoyed our stay here for her spring break. This was a nice location to the Mammoth Caves, which is worth a trip if you have never been! But, even better, this location is nestled in by Nolin Lake, which is so peaceful and quiet. The owner is great, they respond quickly and go the extra step to make sure you enjoy your stay! ggreat! They are so quickntonrepond

As advertised, it was a nice comfortable stay. Neighborhood got a little noisy with other vacationers aroound but we were in the off season and only lasted a few minutes. Close enough to many attractions but far enough away to not feel crowded.

We enjoyed the wonderful accommodations, great proximity to Mammoth Cave, a bonfire, and a porch to visit and grill dinner!

The cabin was perfect for a weekend of hikes in Mammoth Cave, s’mores, and hanging out on the porch listening to the rain!

We had a wonderful stay at this house. The kitchen was well equipped and the space was perfect for our group. Everything was clean and just as described. Thank you for sharing your home!

We had the best time. It was very quiet and cozy. The communication was phenomenal. I highly recommend.

A lovely cabin in the woods. The neighborhood was very quiet with plenty of wildlife to see. It's about a half hour from town but there's a DG market right down the road if you need anything. We enjoyed the fire pit in the evenings.

We stayed at this beautiful cabin while visiting Mammoth Caves. The location was so quiet and peaceful and my family loved having space to spread out and relax. We cooked, had a fire in the fire pit, and had meals out on the porch. Everything was provided and thought of and we didn’t need a thing. The inside and outside of the cabin were beautiful and we would definitely stay again!

Loved the cabin stay for the weekend! It’s so peaceful and cozy! Very clean!

Cabin is secluded and nicely decorated. Has beds for 5, but unless I had elementary to middle school children it is better suited to 2 adults. It has 1 bath and the door has a slight gap upon closure so you would need to be careful with privacy for 2 couples. It is about 30 minutes from Mammoth Cave, but not a bad drive. Nolin Lake is pretty but not much to do on it if you don’t bring.your own boat, canoe, etc. It was a good place for us to stay for a quick 3 day trip. It had the basic items to cook a meal. Do know that this property requires you purchase insurance for damage so add that to the cost of the stay. This was the first time I was required to do that. We had a nice time and the hosts were responsive. The fire pit area was nice but we did not take advantage of it. The porch on the cabin is lovely. Thanks for allowing us to stay in your cabin.

The house was beautiful 😍, Jamie is a wonderful host, anwered promptly to any questions i had, It was quiet and clean, and comfortable, just what we needed for a small getaway from home and some relaxation time
