Welcome to Cub Run Lake House Retreat, a spacious 5-bedroom, 3-bath getaway near Nolin Lake with seasonal lake views and plenty of room for families and groups to gather or spread out. Enjoy the lake with three complimentary kayaks and life jackets, or launch your boat at the nearby public boat ramp. Lake access from the home is a short walk of up to five minutes around the tree line. All docks are privately owned and may not be accessed or used by guests. Back at the house, soak in the private hot tub on the lower deck, relax on the upper deck beside the gas fire pit, cook dinner on the gas grill, or keep the friendly competition going in the guest-accessible separate yellow garage, which serves as the game room with a bumper pool table, a separate ping-pong table, a separate foosball table, a basketball arcade game, board games, and a Nintendo Wii. The full kitchen is ready for group meals with a gas cooktop, electric double ovens, a full-size stainless-steel refrigerator, dishwasher, and a combined Keurig and drip coffee maker. A second refrigerator and freezer in the attached garage provide extra room for longer stays. Remote work is easy with measured 1 Gbps upload and download fiber internet and a dedicated workspace in the primary bedroom equipped with a 27-inch monitor, dock, keyboard, mouse, and headset. Smart TVs are available for streaming; cable service is not provided. Parking is included in the gravel driveway and attached one-car garage, with space for up to eight vehicles. Trailers and RVs are welcome but must be backed in because there is not enough room to turn around; hookups are not available. All guest areas and listed amenities are for your group's exclusive use and are included with the stay. Seasonal lake levels: The Army Corps normally begins Nolin Lake’s fall drawdown around October 15, reaches winter pool around December 1, and typically returns toward summer pool by mid-April. At winter pool, open water recedes from the property and Little Dog Creek and Big Dog Creek are visible instead of the lake. Exact timing and water levels vary with rainfall and Corps operations.

About the host
Hosted by Kevin T Staebler
Hi, I’m Kevin—a Guam-born, Louisville-based technology guy who’s happiest outdoors, tinkering with something, or fixing a perfectly good thing that probably didn’t need fixing. I’m a UofL and Trinity alum, fueled by coffee and supervised by two Pomskies who are convinced they run the place. I love beaches, lake days, and creating comfortable spaces where families and friends can relax, reconnect, and make great memories.
Why they chose this property
I chose the Nolin Lake and Cub Run area for its laid-back pace and flexibility. It’s the kind of place where you can slow down, enjoy the water, and truly relax—or turn up the energy and celebrate with your group. Spend the day kayaking or boating, then wind down by the fire pit under the evening sky.
What makes this property unique
This spacious five-bedroom, three-bath retreat brings together lake views, complimentary kayaks, a hot tub, fire pit, and game room. With space for up to 15 guests, it’s designed for families and groups to spread out, play, reconnect, and make memories—whether the plan is an active lake day or doing absolutely nothing.
