OVERSIZED PORCH, LAKE FRONT, Mammoth Cave, Fast WiFi, Firepit, hiking

Lakeside Paradise is a spacious resort cabin located on beautiful Nolin Lake in the Mammoth Cave region of Kentucky. We are open for vacation rentals during the summer months. This 1340 sq. ft. cabin has 3 Br., 2 baths, a fully equipped kitchen, custom oak cabinets, living room with sofa and love seat, flat panel TV, and central heat & air. There is a large covered porch with gas grill and picnic table overlooking beautiful Nolin Lake. All that you need to bring is food and lake towels!!

On Nolin Lake you are able to enjoy swimming, skiing and fishing. Other activities nearby include cave tours, museums, golf, hiking, horseback riding, shopping and live theatre.

We are located only 8 miles from the north entrance of Mammoth Cave National Park and only 30 / 45 minutes away from other show-caves and area attractions

Please be advised Nolin Lake is owned by the US Corp of Engineers and is used for flood control. Lake access is best during the summer as the Corp lowers the lake (25 / 30 feet) starting late October. Due to the flood control aspect of the lake, the walk up and down to the water can be steep and some guest might find it difficult.

Boat parking at the dock is no longer available as the Corp of Engineers restricts rented properties from using a permitted boat dock. There is a boat ramp 1/4 mile away that you can launch and recover your boat very easily with parking at the ramp (parking can be limited on weekends). Swimming is available off the shoreline here, gradual entry and somewhat beachy in front of the house.
Make yourself comfortable in this air-conditioned vacation home, featuring a kitchen with a refrigerator and an oven. There's a private patio. A Smart television and a DVD player are provided for your entertainment, while complimentary wireless internet access keeps you connected. Conveniences include a microwave and a coffee/tea maker.
Take in the views from a garden and make use of amenities such as gas grills.
Guests will find features like internet access and onsite parking.

Beautiful Lake & Mammoth Cave Trip

We loved staying at Paradise Lake House while we spent most of our time at Mammoth Cave - it takes about 35 minutes to drive on enjoyable roads. We were hoping to eat all our meals on the porch overlooking the lake but it was a bit too cool in April until our last day.

Nice stay with basic amenities

We had a nice stay with extended family. The location and view were beautiful. We didn’t realize the two upstairs bedrooms were connected which ended up being ok for our group but may be a deal breaker for some. The general amenities throughout the house are pretty basic, but everything is functional. Overall a decent stay for a decent price.

Great cottage on the lake!

Stayed at Paradise on the Lake for 3 days during fall break with our family of 5. Loved that everyone had their own bed and a separate bathroom for the kids. The property was very clean and nicely stocked with essentials. Location on the lake was perfect with a very conveniently located boat ramp! Will stay again!
