The Space
It gets quiet at night. Lounge out on the wrap around deck in the evening. Listen for our family of owls living in our trees or the distant great horned owl lording over the forest. Turn down the lights, let your eyes adjust, and gaze deep into space on a clear night. Wake up early, brew a pot of coffee and have a quiet breakfast before your day of exploration underground, above ground and on the water!
Located in the coveted Green Acres Neighborhood on a peninsula of Nolin! Your Saltbox Cabin is nestled on a hillside acre overlooking the wooded gravel road that leads down to the lake.
!!!!MAMMOTH CAVE VISITORS Summer 2025!!!!
Our normal scenic, 25 minute Kentucky country drive to Mammoth cave is going to be a bit longer longer than usual. The Flooding from early Spring damaged our Green River Ferry, and our shortcut to Mammoth cave remains closed. The drive to and fro will now be about fifty minutes, but it now takes you through many of the area's attractions that you would otherwise miss.
If you follow google maps to the closest bridge, for the first 36 minutes of the drive, you'll pass many postcard worthy rolling Kentucky farms, including horse farms, ancient country churches, the unmissable Nolin River Dam, and many little towns and unique general stores. Watch out for our Amish friends on the road in their horse drawn buggies. You'll make your way to the bridge at Brownsville, and cross into the National park for your final 14 minutes. Roll the windows down, and let the pine breeze fill your car.
On the way back, you might opt to head the other way around: Make your way through Cave City and Horse cave Kentucky. Horse Cave has it's own massive cave feature right in the center of town. You can gaze into the abyss right off main street! You'll also pass by Kentucky action Park (Ski lift, go carts, "alpine Slide" downhill), Dinosaur World, a smorgasbord of restaurants and countless other nearby attractions.
