Cabin vacation rentals in Rough River Lake

Probably the best air bnb experience any of us had ever had. Felt like we were at a friend’s place vs a rental… the house is incredibly well stocked and comfortable, from the kitchen to the linens and activities and games. The various outdoor spaces were a dream and even though it rained all weekend we were able to enjoy the outdoors. The house is beautiful, the kids LOVED the bunk room (the secret aspect was so cool!). We hope to be back, and wish the owners lots of success with their new property. It was awesome!

This cabin was absolutely beautiful. It had everything we needed for our stay. It was just my husband, my adult daughter and me, but the space is very ideal for a larger family and very kid friendly. The location was close to Mammoth Cave, Horse Cave, Cave City, and Bowling Green, which were all places we visited while there. We enjoyed the Gothic tour at Mammoth cave and the tour at Hidden River Cave in Horse Cave. The guest contact, Beth, was very responsive to my questions and very sweet at giving us information on the area. The cabin itself is quite out there (in terms of location) but we don't mind that. We don't mind driving a ways in order to get a cabin that is comfortable and offers a nice location. Due to the recent flooding we didn't visit Nolan Lake and some other areas but KY never disappoints. It is a beautiful state and we will be back some day (been there twice now). I would highly recommend this stay. I was very pleased.

This was a great place for a big group. If you plan to make your own food, the kitchen has all the tools, dishes, pan, etc. - everything you need. The saloon was fun and the beds comfortable. Free firewood and a nice fire ring. Be aware that while it was close to the lake it was about a 40 minute drive to Diamond Cave and about 1 hour to Mammoth Cave visitors center. Scenic drive. Also, no restaurants, Walmart or large grocery store nearby that we could find. Some groceries at I65, about 1/2 hour away. We brought our own food and loved to quiet ambiance. I would definitely come back again.

The cabin is spacious and well decorated, so it feels like home from the very first step, and was an excellent place to unwind and reconnect.

It was a beautiful place that felt right at home! Thank you so much for your kindness ❤️

We really enjoyed our stay. Beautiful house and surroundings. Well stocked with linens and amenities. Clear instructions and Laine was very responsive. We would definitely stay here again. Thank you for sharing your house with us.

Thanks Greg! We enjoyed your cozy cabin! It was perfect for our needs- a comfy bed and place to rest near Mammoth Cave National Park. Thank you for being responsive when I had a question about check-in, and thank you for providing a pet-friendly space! Much appreciated!

We've stayed at a lot of cabins for fall and spring breaks with our kids & this is one of our absolute favorites! Everything was clean & comfortable, the hot tub is fantastic, and the layout of the house worked well for our family (kids in the basement, mom + dad in the upstairs master). There's an incredible amount of deck space (three levels!), and having coffee outside each morning was a highlight for me. The 18-hole disc golf course is a unique feature! My 7-year-old is just getting into disc golf, and we liked that we could just take him out to play a couple of holes at a time after spending the day doing other activities. A couple of things to know: (1) Grocery stores are few & far between in the area, so plan to bring most of what you need with you or to eat at local restaurants while you're out and about, (2) If you're visiting Mammoth Cave, look up information about the Green River Ferry -- not only is it a fun experience but it will save you a ton of driving time.

The Gnome Home was such an amazing place! We enjoyed the week spent here. Heather was an amazing host. We had all the amenities we needed, including more towels than we've ever had at an Airbnb (it was amazing). We loved chilling by the fire pit at night, and watching wildlife during the day (deer, turkey, owls). We can't wait to come back and visit again!

The cabin was clean and cozy and perfect for our family of four. The deck overlooking the ponds and pasture was awesome and the kids loved playing out there and watching the cows. We arrived pretty late at night and I was worried that we would have trouble finding or getting into our place but everything was very clearly marked and the whole property has great signage. Speaking of, this property is GORGEOUS. With multiple cabins, a lake, playground and beautiful hiking trail, we think this might be a perfect place for a larger family gathering in the next few years!

A beautiful little cabin on the water. It had plenty of space for our family of four and our two fur babies. It was very clean and nicely decorated and equipped w the essentials. Lots to do locally. A wonderulf porch and firpit area to relax at the end of the day. We cannot wait to go back.

Marissa was so responsive… and we were placed in the middle of Bluegrass country was simply amazing! I spent two days at Mammoth Caves National Park, and one day at the Bluegrass Music Hall of Fame, jamming with other musicians, and one day at the Bill Monroe museum and homeplace in Rosine, Kentucky… It was an amazing! adventure!

The house was perfect for our weekend away! Plenty of space both inside and outside. We went to Mammoth Cave and Louisville from here, and it was a relaxing home base.

Very peaceful location. The views off the back deck were wonderful. Cute cozy cottage.

Trish was really friendly and she made sure I had several ways to contact her. She provides a lot of convenient starters like paper towels and plates and coffee, not just little samples like most places. The lake is beautiful and the fire pit was really comfy and the kids loved the s’mores. The blankets were really soft and the shower is really good! Thank you and I will happily stay with Trish again!!!!

This place is amazing! It is everything we wanted and more! It is in the most beautiful, private setting (and complete with a hammock). The inside is gorgeous, clean, and very tastefully decorated. Literally everything was perfect; but some of my favorite features included: 1.) Foam top mattresses! We slept so good! 2.) Raining shower head and instant hot water! 3.) The separate tub was perfect! 4.) My 8 year old LOVED the standing video arcade game downstairs! 5.) No expense was spared. Even the toilet paper was high quality! 6.) The games, books, and activities provided were great! 7.) The wrap around porch with gorgeous views! 8.) Three and a half bathrooms that felt perfect in every way. 9.) The windows that make you feel like you are outside in nature! 10.) We all felt like we were HOME. So, so comfortable and inviting. This is the best Airbnb we have ever stayed in and I can’t recommended it enough! We would love to make this place part of our yearly vacation. Thank you so much!

Our family loved this place! It was just as Holli described it. Everything was very clean and organized. The covered picnic area was awesome for hanging out in the evenings. It was about a 40 minute drive to Mammoth Cave, but it was so pretty that it didn’t seem that long. We also brought a jet ski and were able to put in about a half mile from the cabin. Nolin Lake is BEAUTIFUL. The cabin had adequate parking for our truck and jet ski trailer plus another car. Holli was also very friendly and helpful when we reached out to her with a question. It really was exactly what we were hoping for. We plan to book here again.

We came to this lovely cabin for our annual sibling reunion. We had a great week as always. Even the bed downstairs, under the steps was comfortable and fun. We were able to enjoy things inside and out. A nice walk down to the lake and a nice firepit just past the yard in the trees. We did find a couple of things after we had been there a few days that would be helpful to know ahead of time. The lights have a turn switch that allows for two levels of brightness, there are 2 coffee pots, a Keurig and a drip pot, there is a table leaf under the upstairs bedroom, and there are extra trash bags in the trash can that you find when you take the bag out, no need to buy extras. We did most of our shopping in Litchfield before we arrived and used the Dollar General for anything we needed later in the week. Dan was always helpful with suggestions and answers when needed. Very cozy cabin.

My husband and I really enjoyed our stay at this cabin. It was tucked into the woods, walkable to the water, dog friendly, and a great first experience for us using an AirB&B. There was a welcome binder with local things to do and other helpful information. We'd recommend it to anyone we know looking for visit the area.

My children & grandchildren & I celebrated my husband’s 60th birthday. A very great place for family time! Very roomy & cozy! Our host was very responsive & helpful! We all loved it and can’t wait to get together again! ♥️

Would definitely book again!!!

Our family of four + dog came for a weekend to visit Mammoth Cave. Overall, we enjoyed the charming cabin as had all we needed and was convenient to surrounding attractions. Note, the hot tub was not working but host did respond quickly when I was trying to get it working. Not a huge deal but hopefully will be resolved for future guests. It was raining on/off for parts of the weekend, so wooden steps up to cabin were slippery (there is indeed a sign that says so, but do be careful going down!). Like I said overall was nice and comfortable stay that I would recommend.

It could not have been more comfortable and peaceful! Had everything we needed and Christy was so helpful and kind. Thanks so much!

A spacious, well-outfitted lodge in a beautiful setting! Our big family group had most of our meals on the deck, with a gas grill and wood-fire pit at one end, but we also enjoyed the large living/dining room , as well as boating and swimming and hiking the road in the forest.
