This home does have lake access.
This is the perfect place to enjoy a quiet getaway without the busyness of the city! In case you forget something, there are several local mini markets (Webb’s and Sailings) close by and a Dollar General Market about 10 minutes (5 miles) away. One of the local Amish stores has amazing donuts on Saturday mornings and a Walmart is just 30 minutes away in Leitchfield.
Please be advised the US Corps of Engineers own Nolin Lake and is used for flood control. Lake access is best during the summer as the Corps lowers the lake (25 to 30 feet) starting late October. Due to flood control aspects of the lake, the walk up and down to the water is steep, and some guests might find it difficult. Winter pool is 25-30 feet below summer pool. Which makes the lake inaccessible during winter months. During rainy seasons the lake has been known to go 25 ft above summer pool. Also making the lake hard to access. We try very hard to keep the access to the lake available but sometimes the levels change drastically and are hard to keep up. We do the best we can. The water levels can be checked at the Nolin River website.
Owners reside next door and the property has exterior security cameras.
Two dogs (under 50 pounds each) are allowed for a pet fee of $75/trip. Please be sure to add them to your reservation prior to checking out.

We had a terrific stay. I would definitely stay here again! The house is comfortable and clean. Everything you need if you want to cook. The weather was perfect for an evening campfire. Mammoth Cave is nearby and a trip to the Zoo, Kentucky Down Under was a highlight. You can feed a kangaroo or two or several.

We are very glad you enjoyed your stay at our home and visiting such amazing places! Your pictures are wonderful. Thank you for sharing them.
The home was beautiful, and a peaceful getaway. Very clean and well stocked for our stay. The owners were so friendly, and checked in to make sure we had everything we need. A great place for a family vacation.
The property was clean and had everything we needed. The fire pit and games made the evenings enjoyable. The bedrooms need room darkening shades. The kitchen was well equipped except there was no salt! Unfortunately, the water level in the lake was low so we could not use the kayaks. The proximity to Mammoth Cave was awesome!

Thank you for your feedback. We are so glad you enjoyed your stay and had a great time visiting the caves. We do our best at keeping our home stocked. We were unaware that the salt was empty and will look into this, as well as your suggestion on the room darkening blinds.
We enjoyed our stay. The weather didn’t always cooperate with us but the few days we were there we had a good time. Beautiful area.

We are so glad you enjoyed your stay at The Raleigh Retreat. We truly find it so relaxing. We also provide games and WiFi, on those days when the weather doesn’t fully cooperate.
My best friend and I came for a weekend getaway. The property was perfect - secluded but a close drive to nearby caves, restaurants and coffee spots. Would definitely stay again
We had a great stay here while out sightseeing with our kids and dog! Lake is beautiful and our kids loved the yard. Would be awesome to use in the summer when lake is in full swing.
We booked this property as a get away retreat and enjoyed every minute of it. The property was clean and the location was amazing.

We are so glad you had a wonderful stay! Thank you for your lovely review and for leaving the home so clean. We are glad that you enjoyed your stay. We would love to have you stay in our home again, if you visit Nolin Lake!
Myself and 5 friends stayed at this property for a few days during Easter weekend and it was perfect. The kitchen is well stocked and the fire pit was really nice. We were able to use the grill as well. Would definitely stay here again.
Overall, the trip was great. We had an absolute blast and the house was perfect. It was quiet, easy to get to, and had a great view. I would definitely want to stay here again.
