Take it easy at this unique and tranquil getaway just up the hill from Hardin's Landing boat ramp at Nolin Lake. Enjoy beautiful forest and ridgeline views during the day, and spend your evenings sitting around the fire pit with your loved ones.
The boat ramp is only a half mile down the hill, so bring your own boat, or take a 15 min drive to Wax Marina to rent one for your stay. We're also close driving distance to Blue Holler Off-Road Park, Trout Fishing and Mammoth Cave National Park.
This cozy cabin is a traditional A-frame that sits atop the hill at the end of Whippoorwill Way in Hardin's Landing just off Dog Creek in Cub Run at Nolin Lake. Outside you'll enjoy a tranquil and peaceful retreat where you can listen to the sounds of the Whippoorwills calling through the trees, and peaceful evenings with your friends and family grilling and chilling around the fire pit.
As you enter the home, there's a well-equipped laundry room as well as a generously sized full bathroom. Down the hall is the first bedroom with two twin beds (that can be converted to a king) as well as a nice desk with a large monitor to plug in your laptop or other device.
Also on this floor is the cozy living and dining area with access to the sitting porch overlooking a forested hillside, along with a small kitchen with a breakfast bar and an entertainment area with a record player with Bluetooth capability, as well as a collection of games and books. You can bring your own records or gently use our offerings. Our Roku TV is ready for you to sign into your accounts and binge to your heart's desire.
Upstairs you'll find the remaining three sleeping areas. These are designated as "bedrooms" in the listing in order to be individually featured in our photo tour. While it is a contiguous space, it is well separated into three distinct sleeping areas, and there are room dividers and a sound machine for extra privacy and comfort. The king and queen bed sleeping areas are across the stairs from one another, while the twin trundle section with the picture window is in an offset space at the front of the A-frame.
Currently there is one large wall unit and another window unit air conditioner installed in the upstairs of the property. There are multiple fans throughout the home, and supplemental air conditioning unit is available in the living area in the summer.
In the winter, we currently utilize the propane wall heater (if necessary), but mainly the few small space heaters will do the trick, depending on outside temps.
The exterior spaces of the home include a couple of seating areas, a picnic/grilling area, and a firepit with a grill grate for additional grilling space. We try to keep firewood available, but we can't guarantee it, or that it will be in great supply. If you plan on utilizing the firepit, please think ahead. If you need a firewood delivery, that can be arranged for you at an additional cost.
If you plan on using the charcoal grill, please bring your own charcoal and lighter fluid, and be prepared to clean it while you're heating it up. On occasion. people will leave these things behind, but we can't guarantee they'll be there for you. Think of it as a park style grill.
This property is not lake front or lake view. It features lovely forest and hilltop views, and it is just a few minutes walk down the hill to the public boat ramp and water access at Hardin's Landing. There are private docks there, but they're not public access.
The home is close to many local attractions other than the lake. Mammoth Cave National Park just a short drive. You'll take a very fun short ferry ride to reach the north side of the park as well. Blue Holler Off-Road Park is also nearby. The home is only 10 minutes from the Detwilers Amish market complex and deli. It's a great place to go roam around and get a quick lunch. In that area is also convenient shopping for supplies in "downtown" Cub Run. Bouys at the Lodge is a great restaurant/bar at Wax Marina that has live music some nights and is only about a 15 min drive if you want an afternoon or night out.
All that being said, this home sits atop a beautiful hill at the end of a graveled private drive with a somewhat steep ascent on the last curve. And while our real estate agent made it up with no trouble with her late model Honda Civic, please keep in mind *your own* comfort with your driving abilities and the capabilities of your vehicle. Seasonal weather affects the road conditions here, and this should ALWAYS be taken into account when driving to remote areas. And while we take extra efforts to keep our property and its private drive highly accessible, the trip up the hill could be a little stressful for some more timid drivers. Our advice to you is to just keep going! Once you are headed up that hill, **don't stop.** If a 15-year-old Honda Civic, Amazon deliveries, and a heavily laden Lowe's appliance delivery truck can make it, so can you!!
The water heater in this property is relatively small. In the warmer months when the groundwater is warm, you may not experience this, but if the groundwater is cooler, you may have to give the water heater a few minutes to catch up when taking back to back showers, or using the outdoor and indoor showers simultaneously.
LASTLY, because this is a very rural area, occasionally we do experience "Boil Water Advisories." We like to bring our own bottled water just in case, and we advise our guests to do the same. Normally these advisories are out of an abundance of caution. However, it is always best to play it safe when it happens. If we do get a notice of a boil water advisory, we will let you know as soon as possible. You can also check the Edmondson County Water company for their updates before traveling.
