Spacious Lakehouse Getaway at Mammoth Cave

Fantastic space for families!

If you don’t mind a 45 minute drive to places each day, this is a wonderful option for a trip to Mammoth Cave NP, Cave City, Horse Cave, etc. We found plenty of fun family activities around but also enjoyed our time relaxing at the house. Our kids and their friends LOVED the basement “apartment” they had with bunk beds, TV space, table for games, a separate bedroom, bathroom, and kitchenette. My only suggestion for not choosing this house would be if you’re planning on a lake vacation. We walked down to the docks to check out the lake just to find it completely dried up. Luckily, that wasn’t the purpose of our trip so we had fun exploring the area where the water used to be but that would have been a huge bummer if we thought we were doing lake activities.

Great house. Beautiful screened in porch with comfy chairs and a great view. Quiet private road. Close to a convenience store. Close to boat dock for boats and kayaks at the dam which was quiet and beautiful. Gravel drive is very steep. Walkable boat dock but many many narrow stairs.

Large house with a great view!!

There were only a few drawbacks to this property. The road going out is very steep and we were thankful to have AWD. The property isn’t really on lakefront and you couldn’t see the water. The cleaning fee was a bit steep especially for a family that likes to return the property as clean as they found it. Negatives aside because the positives outweigh them. Mammoth Cave is less than 20 minutes when taking the ferry. Your navigation apps won’t direct you this route so you need to know how to navigate to it. It’s quite simple. Played golf at Shady Hollow and Park Mammoth. If you’re going to play golf try both. We loved the hiking at Mammoth Cave. The house was very relaxing and the screened deck was the perfect spot for morning coffee and reading a book. We loved our evenings around the camp fire, too and appreciated the supply of fire wood. The open space concept in the family room/dining/kitchen was great. There was plenty of room and we didn’t feel crowded. The view was nice as well. This is just an overall good space to relax. The owner responds very quickly to questions and truly wanted to make sure we enjoyed our stay and that we did. Nice job!

We had a fantastic stay at this spacious house near Mammoth Cave National Park over the Thanksgiving holiday in November of 2023! Our party included six adults and four children, and the house accommodated us perfectly. The kids really enjoyed their own space in the bunk room. The house was incredibly nice, well-stocked, and comfortable. We especially enjoyed the fire pit for relaxing evenings. The drive to Mammoth Cave National Park wasn't too far, making it a convenient location for exploring. We would definitely rent this home again if visiting Kentucky. Highly recommend!

Great property for a family vacation. The kids all enjoyed crashing in the basement and exploring the property. Beautiful weekend with everything we needed!

Our main objective was to see Mammoth caves National park. It was about a 45 minute drive to Mammoth Cave NP. We are a large family from Florida with 10 adults and 4 kiddos (2,4,8,13 years old). The home provided plenty of space for all of us to sleep and relax. Nobody felt cramped. Rooms were very clean and spacious. The downstairs was perfect for the kids. The house itself was beautiful and updated. They provided a lot of amenities and everything was labeled. We enjoyed the fire pit and they even provided the firewood. They left us a nice s’mores kit that my kids were so excited for. At night, we got to see fireflies and in the morning we saw a Doe and her baby! There is also a friendly cat that loves to visit. Boots quickly became a family friend. This was a perfect gem for our family vacation. Overall, I highly recommend and will most likely come back for another stay! Jon is an amazing host and communicates very quickly. He obviously put in a lot of effort for the comfort of his guests.

Jon is an excellent host. Easy to communicate with at all times. We really enjoyed our stay for our visit of Mammoth Cave National Park. The house is very well organized. Feels like new!

We enjoyed our stay & our trip to mammoth caves. There was plenty of room for our two families. It even gave us nice areas to break away from each other when littles needed to nap. Would return.
