Lake Access (Please Read!)
Dock access is not included or available with this rental. This is due to U.S. Army Corps of Engineers regulations, which apply to all homes on Nolin Lake—private docks may not be used by guests renting lake homes.
However, you’re just 1 mile from Nolin Lake State Park, where there’s a sandy beach in the summer and a free public boat ramp for launching your own watercraft. Note: Nolin Lake State Park is currently closed for recreation. You may still use the boat ramp there to launch your boat .

- Wax Marina – Closest by road
- Moutardier Marina – Newly renovated; closer by water
Check their websites or social pages for rental info and seasonal hours.
Groceries
We recommend bringing your main groceries in with you. This is a peaceful, rural area—it’s part of what makes it special!
Nearby options:
- DG Market (15 min) – Closest and great for basics
- Cee Bee Food Store (20 min, Brownsville) – Great stop after Mammoth Cave
- Walmart & Save-A-Lot (40 min, Leitchfield) – Best for full grocery runs
- Bowling Green (40 miles south) – Big-box stores and major chains, everything you need!
Restaurants
Many local dining options are available. Check our Guidebook for current recs!
Important:
Edmonson County is dry. Alcohol is not sold locally, so please plan ahead and bring any with you.
Lake Levels & Wildlife
Nolin Lake is a seasonal reservoir, and water levels change throughout the year:
Summer (May–Oct): Full pool for swimming, boating, fishing
Winter (Nov–April): Low levels, often exposing the lakebed—a neat way to explore, but not ideal for water activities
You’re in the Kentucky countryside, so it’s not uncommon to see deer, bunnies, birds, or the occasional insect or critter. We use regular pest control to help minimize surprises.
A Few Country Comfort Notes
Life is slower out here—embrace it!
- Some restaurants have limited hours
- Cell signal may vary depending on your carrier
We encourage guests to disconnect and enjoy the stillness—play games, take a hike, relax in the hot tub, or make s’mores under the stars.
