8 minutes down the road, Nolin Lake State Park offers a beautiful sandy beach with a designated swimming area open from Memorial Day through Labor Day. The park also features a free boat ramp, clean bathrooms, and year-round access to scenic hiking and mountain biking trails at Brier Recreation Area. The lake is perfect for fishing, with abundant bass, crappie, walleye, bluegill, trout, and catfish—so don’t forget your poles and favorite bait! Be sure to check the special fishing regulations before casting your line.

The closest boat ramp to the house is 2 minutes away at the Nolin Dam. You will need to pay a small access fee to use this.

Moutardier Marina and Wax Marina are the closest on-lake spots offering boat rentals, including both pontoon boats and jet skis. Be sure to check their websites or social media for up-to-date information on seasonal hours and availability.

Mammoth Cave Access:
The Mammoth Cave National Park Visitor Center is just 13 miles from the house if the Green River Ferry is operating (please check the ferry status on the National Park website before you head out). If the ferry isn’t available, you can take a scenic 30-mile drive through Brownsville to reach the park. Mammoth Cave National Park is home to the WORLD’S LONGEST underground cave system and is a UNESCO World Heritage Site! Be sure to book a tour ahead of time to immerse yourself in the fascinating history, geology, and exploration of these incredible caves. It’s an experience you won’t want to miss!

Groceries:
The house is nestled in a remote location, so it’s a good idea to bring your food and beverages with you, with the option to supplement at nearby stores if needed.

~ DG Market is the closest, located just minutes away. This newer, convenient market offers most of the basic provisions you may need, making it perfect for a quick stop if you run out of something.
~ Cee Bee Food Store in Brownsville is about 15 minutes south, a great option if you’ve spent the day at Mammoth Cave National Park and are heading back.
~ Walmart and Save-a-Lot in Leitchfield, roughly 30 minutes north, are larger stores with a wider selection for those looking to stock up on essentials.
~ If you're coming from the south, Bowling Green is about 40 miles away and has plenty of big-box stores to choose from, offering an even broader selection.
