LUXURY Timber Lake Lodge - Nolin Mammoth Cave+View

Timber Lake Lodge is a finely appointed timber 6-bedroom framed home sitting on a PRIVATE gated 40-acre wooded estate with DIRECT access to one of the most beautiful & serene coves in all of Nolin Lake. With everything that Timber Lake Lodge has to offer, there is nothing of this caliber available for rent at Nolin or any other lake in the state of Kentucky. The home is located in the middle of Nolin Lake, giving you the best access to explore. The short path to the lake is directly in front of the house.

This luxurious home was designed for entertaining & relaxing in serenity. Enjoy the open plan kitchen, living and dining, breathtaking woodwork, 2-story cupola, stunning hardwood floors, indoor and outdoor stone fireplaces, and covered deck and patio. There is a king bedroom & ensuite on the first floor, and a king bedroom and ensuite in the basement. On the second floor, two queen bedrooms share a jack and jill bathroom. The wonderfully appointed bunk house with loft sleeps 8+ and is located above the garage.

If a rustic cabin lake vacation is your dream, but luxurious accommodations are more your style, you will bask in the respite of this exquisite home located on forty acres at the end of a secluded and serene cove on Nolin Lake. This is the only home in the entire gated property, located just six miles from Wax Marina, and only nine miles from Mammoth Cave National Park. From the gorgeous interior, step outside to the IPE, exotic hardwood constructed deck to enjoy nearly 750 square feet of covered porch with built-in outdoor stone fireplace, grill and large dining table. Beautiful forested views surround you, and yet the gentle sloping path to your private dock on Nolin Lake is directly in front of the home. A swim ladder from the dock gives you access to the private cove, located directly across from a nature preserve, providing peace and quiet.

The first floor includes a spacious open floor-plan great room with a stone gas fireplace that looks up into a two-story cupola. Plenty of comfortable sofas surround the fireplace sitting areas. A large dining table is situated close to the kitchen, and provides ample space for a large gathering. The granite countertop island is large enough for a sizable buffet, a five-burner gas cooktop, and six barstools. The gourmet kitchen includes a farmhouse sink, stainless steel appliances, and a stand-alone ice maker. Kitchen is stocked with everything you will need, including dishes, silverware, and glassware for 24, pots and pans, prep and cooking equipment utensils, serving platters and bowls, small appliances and pantry staples.

Down the hall from the great room, a first floor bedroom with king bed is situated to view the trees from the beautiful bay windows. A two-sink vanity and tiled walk-in shower, two closets, as well as a private entry to the covered deck await the guests that occupy this suite.

Just off the kitchen, a pantry with pull-out shelves, mudroom/laundry, and a half bath complete the first floor.

Up the stairs, with another impressive view of the estate, there are two queen bedrooms that share a jack and jill bathroom. A pack and play is available in the closet. The jack and jill bathroom has a double-sink vanity that is separated from the bath/shower combo and toilet, giving privacy for multiple guests.

Let the fun begin downstairs with a pool table, wet bar with beverage refrigerator, large screen television and plenty of plush seating to watch a movie or the big game! Over 250 DVDs await movie buffs. Indoor time can be filled with the array of board games, cards and toys. A second full-size refrigerator is located in the storage area.

An additional king bedroom with the same footprint as the first floor bedroom is located down the hall from the open floor plan basement living area. Here, another two-sink vanity ensuite, tiled shower and two closets, as well as a private entry to the covered patio await the guests.

Just steps away from the main home, a wonderfully appointed bunk house with two additional bedrooms, kitchenette with sink and beverage refrigerator, a full bathroom with shower/bath and living area can occupy additional guests, including all of the kids and teenagers. They will have a ping-pong table, full size arcade game with over 1,000 games, large screen television, and sectional sofa to immerse them at night or anytime they need a break from outdoor activities. The bunk room has three sets of bunk beds, for a total of five twins and two fulls. The upstairs loft bedroom has a full size bed, and is perfect for adults that want to supervise and sleep in the same home as the children. We also have two air mattresses available.

The entire home is outfitted with bed linens, blankets, comforters, and comfortable mattresses. Look forward to 100-percent cotton towels in the bathrooms.

An outdoor utility closet houses a double hammock, corn hole and an oversized Jenga game. Pack up some beverages to take with you out on the lake using the industrial style wagon. Put on your sneakers and take a hike across the property. You won't have to leave the estate during your entire stay!

The home is located within minutes of several ramps, including Dog Creek Recreation Area (7 minutes by car) and Wax Marina (15 minutes by car).

As short and long term hosts of various properties for nearly 20 years, we work hard to understand the needs of our guests. Please reach out to us before your stay if you need information on catering, Nolin Lake, Mammoth Cave, area activities and attractions, hikes, mountain bike trails, or other needs. We are here to make your vacation for you and your guests the best it can be!

Fun weekend getaway
Our family of 6 adults and 4 children had a wonderful time at Timber Lake Lodge! We rented a pontoon boat at Wax Marina and fishing from the dock was very productive. We also grilled our dinners and made smores on the deck. The golf cart was great for going back and forth down to the dock. Everyone enjoyed staying at this beautiful place.

Wow! Everything everyone wanted!
Our group was a family of 3 generations. We enjoyed the home so very much! There are many opportunities to include the entire group in games, skits & the outdoors. Our visit was during the summer Olympics which prompted an Olympic ping-pong tournament! The lake was beautiful, so clean & calm. We enjoyed boating,kayaking, fishing & swimming. Nightly corn hole games were fun, as was an indoor Bingo tournament. The house itself is very beautiful & accommodating, with lots & lots of extras throughout. We especially appreciated having wi-fi available for those who needed to attend to responsibilities off site. Thank you, Kristin for your quick responses to my questions. You have been a wonderful host!

Perfect spot for a large group!
Our family has stayed twice at this well appointed and quiet home. Plenty of room to spread out for activities or to just chill in the wrap around porch. We did the golf cart this year and highly recommend getting it if you plan on going down to the lake.

Beautiful Area
The lake house was perfect for our family of 19. Enough space that everyone had a spot to relax. Although Mother Nature did not cooperate, with all the rain before our arrival, causing us not to utilze the lake, we survived. We enjoyed it being close to other activities in the area. Easy access to Louisville and Bowling Green. We spent a lot of time on the patio just soaking up the quiet peacefulness. The kids didn’t even miss not being in the lake. They had plenty of games to keep them busy. This is the first time we’ve rented a house. We will definitely do this again. Highly recommend this rental!!!

The Perfect Getaway on the Lake
The house was amazing! Plenty of room and decorated perfectly. IT is clear a lot of thought has gone into making this cabin a fantastic experience for guests. We loved every minute of our stay. Also Kristin was incredibly communicative every step of the way and when a major storm hit the state just before our trip, she got things taken care of and kept us informed. The private dock is fantastic and the land is beautiful. Cannot recommend this cabin enough, we will be back!

A beautiful home to celebrate the love of family and the gift of nature!
Beyond our expectations, this massive home allowed 11 adults and 9 little ones under the age of 10 to gather together! We enjoyed waterfront swimming from the dock (double decker pontoon w/slide was easy to rent from the marina)Canoe was available for exploration and a golf cart for those who didn’t want to enjoy the walk down the path from the home. Wonderful meals were prepared in the well stocked kitchen…GENIUS separate ice maker made it so easy for us all! Loved the 2 big refrigerator/freezers AND the mini bar fridge; since it’s located about 35 minutes from grocery stores, we appreciated bringing all food and drinks that could be stored to last the week. The beds were large and comfortable, the bathrooms stocked with everything we needed. Able to wash clothes in full-size machines. The best part for the cousins was the bunk beds above the garage that slept 8 w/full bathroom, mini kitchen, and a loft bed for the attending parents (wish a queen size could fit up there, but that’s not a complaint😉) The beds and playroom together kept them very occupied. Seriously, they thought of EVERYTHING when setting this home up for rental. Worth every penny to find places of seclusion throughout, and yet rounds of fun at the pool table while the kids were mesmerized by the big screen TV with over 200 DVD’s. The setting near Mammoth Cave allowed us a day’s adventure, but we really didn’t want to leave the rest of the time!

Awesome stay for the whole family!
My extended family (ranging in ages from 1-72!) enjoyed the Timber Lake Lodge for our family gathering. The spaces were just as described and perfect for our group to enjoy games, cooking, and time together. The lake is a bit of a walk down a path so the added rental of the golf cart was great for the older and youngest family members who would have struggled with that. Kristin was super responsive and the house was clean and welcoming.

Wonderful place for a relaxing family vacation.
Beautiful home with lots of space for a large family to hang out and relax. The layout is great. There are lots of beds in the bunkhouse to fit kids/teens. A large living area downstairs to hang out and play pool or play games or for little ones to run around. The kitchen has just about everything you need including spices for cooking and all of the liitle things you might not think to grab at the store. Very well stocked. The deck is a wonderful place to hang out and relax. There is a little bit if a walk to the lake but it is not too far. We enjoyed the canoe. The house is beautiful and Kristen was wonderful to deal with and easy to get in touch with. We appreciate her sharing her home with our family and would love to stay there again if she will have us. Highly recommend this home to anyone looking for a wonderful, relaxing vacation near the lake.

Terrific house for our large family!
This house is gorgeous and roomy. Well appointed with many places for small groups to play games and enjoy the get-away. We had 16 and never felt crowded. We did not realize that the bunkhouse area was separated from the main house or that one bedroom was actually open to the bunk room. Since we had young kids we had one family use it while the rest stayed in the main house. Plenty of space on sofas for them. It is a steep walk down to the lake. Bring good walking shoes! The lake was lovely with a dock for our boat. Nice area to float and have the kids play. We are hoping to return next year since we found it a perfect fit.

Wonderful lodge for a family vacation
We had an amazing time at the Timber Lake Lodge! It was a very hot week so we didn't spend as much time at the lake as we had planned, but the house had so many things to do (pool table, cornhole, huge kitchen, etc.) and the area did too (Mammoth Cave, bourbon trail, etc.), so there wasn't a moment of boredom. On the couple of days that we went down to the lake, we took the canoe out and it was so peaceful. We also loved swimming in the lake because it was as warm as bath water. Kristin was quick to respond during our stay and made sure we had everything we needed for a perfect vacation. I highly recommend the Timber Lake Lodge for your next big group trip!
