Off-Grid Solar Haus am See / Private 80+ bewaldete Hektar am Nolin See

Entfliehen Sie dem "Disaway", einem umweltfreundlichen, in Privatbesitz befindlichen Haus am See, auf einem mehr als 80 Hektar großen geschützten Wald am Nolin Lake, der sich ideal für Liebhaber von Seen und Naturliebhabern eignet. ***** ABSOLUT FANTASTISCH ZU BESUCHEN IN DEN HERBSTEN UND DANKSAGEN ***** Truthahnbräter ist verfügbar und wartet.

Dieses einzigartige solarbetriebene, netzunabhängige solarbetriebene Haus (mit Notstromaggregat) war eines der ersten Solarhäuser im US-Bundesstaat Kentucky und verfügt über fast alle Annehmlichkeiten der modernen Gesellschaft außer zwei: es hat KEIN FERNSEHER / WIFI und KEINE NACHBARN (Aber ausgezeichneter Zellempfang für die meisten). Über 80 Hektar, von denen die meisten niemals entwickelt werden können, verbunden mit dem Haus macht diese Gelegenheit wie kein anderer. Eine Atempause bietet einen äußerst komfortablen Ort, um die Natur von Kentucky zu erleben. Es verfügt über ein privates Dock, das über einen sanften Hang erreichbar ist, weitläufige Terrassen und Terrassen, ein Sternendeck, eine abgeschirmte Veranda, mehr als 4 km Seeufer, Skifahren / Schläuche, Angeln, Wanderwege direkt vor Ihrer Haustür und Vogelbeobachtung vor Ort. In der Nähe finden Sie Bootsverleih, Reiten, Golf und den Mammoth Cave National Park.

Tauchen Sie ein in die Wege durch den privaten Wald und erkunden Sie die natürliche Umgebung. Ein Beispiel für Vogelbeobachtungen auf dem Grundstück sind Weißkopfseeadler, Fischadler, Eisvögel, Scharlachrot und Sommer Tanagers, Indigo Buntings, Whippoorwills, Bob Whites, 5+ Sorten von Spechten, 4-5 Falkenarten, Kraniche. . . Die Liste geht weiter und weiter. Der reife Wald ist die Heimat von Hirschen, Puten, Rotluchsen und Waschbären, unter anderem (keine Bären). Über 20 Arten von heimischen Wildblumen wurden festgestellt, um in einem Tag innerhalb von 150 Meter von der Garage zu blühen. Erkunden Sie mit den mitgelieferten Kajaks (und Schwimmwesten) die längste in Privatbesitz befindliche Küstenlinie im Hauptteil des Nolin Lake oder bringen Sie Ihr eigenes Boot mit, um es an das einzige private Dock anzulegen.

Das passiv-solare Design und der offene Grundriss mit vielen Fenstern ermöglichen eine herrliche Aussicht von jedem Zimmer im Haus. Die zentrale offene Fläche ermöglicht es, dass das Haus von einer einzigen energieeffizienten Split-A / C-Einheit gekühlt und durch den steinernen Kamin erwärmt wird (kann aber mit den eingebauten Propanheizungen ergänzt werden). Das große See-Deck und Patio können über 2 Dutzend Menschen Sitz und bieten eine friedliche schattige Bereich für Sommertage oder die ideale kühle Wetter Sitzplätze für ein Nacht-Feuer hören Barred Owls und Chuck-Will-Widows. (Brennholz bereitgestellt!) Ohne Licht der Nachbarn kann der Blick auf die Milchstraße vom Sterneblick in einer mondlosen Nacht atemlos sein.

Dieses zedernseitige Haus liegt unter hoch aufragenden weißen Eichen-, Hickory- und Buchenbäumen mit den Sonnenkollektoren, die sich 250 Meter entfernt auf der Garage befinden. Die vier Schlafzimmer (eins davon ist ein Loft) und 2. 5 Bäder in 2100 sq ft können bequem Platz 12-14 (Plus 1 mit vorhandenem Pack-N-Play). Die moderne, voll ausgestattete Küche verfügt über einen Kühl- / Gefrierschrank mit Eismaschine, einen Gasherd / Ofen, eine Mikrowelle, eine Kaffeemaschine, ein Doppelwaschbecken und ein separates Aufbereitungsbecken. Außengrill ist auch Propan. Das Hauptgeschoss Hauptschlafzimmer hat ein en suite Badezimmer, Doppelbett und ein Sitz- / Spielbereich mit Blick auf den See. Das Obergeschoss Hauptschlafzimmer hat ein Doppelbett, Lesebereich mit einem ausklappbaren Futon, der 2 weitere schlafen kann. Das zusätzliche Schlafzimmer und Loft-Bereich kann 2 und 4 mehr bezahlen.

In der Nähe befinden sich Bootsverleih in Moutardier Marina, Mammoth Cave, das Corvette Museum in Bowling Green, die Nähe zum Bourbon Trail, Golf bei Shady Hollow, Reiten durch die Mammoth Cave bei Double J Stables .

Ein ziemlich steiler Hügel begrüßt einen bald nach dem Betreten des Landes, und die Straße zurück kann scheinen, wie es vielleicht nicht Licht am Ende des Tunnels sein kann. Aber ein Licht ist da so geduldig. Gelegentlich muss der Generator manuell gestartet werden (Anweisungen sind selbstverständlich enthalten).

Wenn Sie nach einer wilden Party-Atmosphäre suchen, in der sich die Hälfte der Leute an einem Spieleabend oder einem anderen für "Reality-TV" um einen Fernseher kuschelt, ist dieser Ort NICHT für Sie. Wenn Sie nach einer Behandlung für die überwältigende Vergangenheit der Gesellschaft suchen, einen Ort, um dem Alltag zu entfliehen und die Natur neu zu entdecken, sich mit Ihrer Familie wieder in Verbindung zu setzen, endlose Stunden in einer abgelegenen Bucht zu schweben, einheimische Wälder von Kentucky zu erkunden oder eine Linie zu benetzen, sind wir herzlich willkommen Sie als unsere Gäste

Very peaceful!

We enjoyed our stay. The house is well off the main road. The only sounds we heard were from nature. The deck and fire pit was perfect for catching up and hanging out. The house is solar powered so we did lose power a few times for a few minutes. The owner was always available to help us through the generator start up. But we knew this going in. There is not much to do in the area outside of the caves. Plan on cooking in. Would definitely stay there again.

TLC needed

The owner was outstanding and very easy to work with. The property, however, needs a lot of TLC and the cabin needs a deep deep cleaning before it’s rented again. Mark was top-notch and help us through a power outage. I’d rent from him again, just not this cabin in its current condition.

Private lakefront property

Private and heavily wooded property. Private dock was great for the swimming and our boat tie ups. Not ideal for biking as trails were not visible or too wooded to traverse.

Family vacation

We really enjoyed this home! The lake is lovely and fun swimming in this quiet cove. The kids fished every evening and caught quite a few every night right from the dock. The walk to the dock was not too bad, a little bit of a workout coming back up in the 90 degree heat. The house did pretty well staying cool in the extreme heat, but we did use a few portable fans. The house was exactly as described and we did not miss having a TV or WiFi Kitchen was well equipped. My only suggestion for owners would be to add another trash can- because a week with 11 people created quite a bit 😊 We have never been to Nolan lake and will definitely be back. All the kids and grandkids agreed that they liked this house and lake and location better than previous vacation rentals.

Great Place for 4 couples!

Our group of 8 (four couples) had a great stay during a long weekend stay over Memorial Day. Kitchen very well socked and handled many cooks in the kitchen easily, with kitchen bar seats so we could all talk comfortably while preparing meals. Likewise the large table was perfect for meals together. The sofa is large and comfortable so we could all hang out in living room with comfortable seating. Beds and linens comfortable and everything was ready for us when we arrived. Several members of our group took advantage of the kayaks and started the day with a great dose of Mother Nature. The wooded setting is absolutely beautiful and made you just want to hang out together and soak in the nature. Abundant windows throughout the home brought nature indoors. We had a fire in the fire pit one night. Everyone fit around it and there were plenty of deck chairs but I think8 might be the max around the fire—but the adjacent deck is huge so if we had had more there would have been more than enough room there. It somehow worked even though the wood was really wet. Luckily my husband brought a fire starter. Owner great to work with. He accommodated one request and was a delight to deal with. Loved the idea of being in an off-grid place, but we ended up using the generator do to our extensive use of lights, ceiling fans, and appliances while cooking. Plenty of parking for our three vehicles. We didn’t think it was hard to find with the owner’s great instructions. I hope I can bring my family there next!

Clean and uncluttered with large kitchen/great room. Two sets of sliding doors out to deck.

As advertised, secluded solar 3 BR 2.5 bath house w deck overlooking woods. Also includes screened in porch and another private deck off an upstairs BR. House was clean and cool upon arrival in mid-August. Ample linens, towels, napkins and placemats provided. Lots of chairs and two round tables on the deck, plus picnic table in the yard. Trail to the dock was sloping but not too strenuous. Dock had an umbrella to provide shade and a ladder to get out of the water when swimming. Large supply of games and puzzles in case of rain. We were all adults, but I can see a couple of families having a great time here. No TV and no WiFi which we really didn’t miss. Most had at least limited cell service via Sprint and Verizon. Moutadier Marina is a short drive away where we rented a pontoon boat. We cooked in, but there is a restaurant near the marina, and a few stores nearby where we picked up those forgotten items. Kitchen is well stocked with several large pots for spaghetti, boiling corn; baking pans, cookie sheets and frying pans. Quality of cookware is good. Nice large grill w extra burner runs off the house propane line. No worries about an empty tank. Concrete patio for the fire pit was a little small for our group but we managed. Nice supply of wood provided. GPS took us right to the driveway. The gravel drive is totally navigable. We all had sedans of various types. The seclusion and lack of light pollution enabled us to see massive numbers of stars, including the Perseid meteor shower, despite only a small opening in the tree canopy. Heard owls, great blue herons, woodpeckers, eagles and also coyotes two nights about 10:30 pm. Saw deer, a bald eagle, herons and we were escorted down the drive by hosts of butterflies feeding on large purple flowers. A wonderful place to get away from the city and relax in nature with friends or family. Owner is responsive, provided great information and acted quickly to solve a problem left by previous guest. He obviously loves this place and I appreciate him sharing his home with us.

Fantastic spot for the family and friends.

Amazing and secluded property that allows you to put away the electronics and unplug without giving up the comforts of home. Bring friends or family for a much needed retreat. Plenty of space and beds for everyone. There is even a small reading corner on the upper floor to quietly relax and catch up on your favorite novel. Down the hill is a private dock with chairs, kayaks, and even an umbrella to provide shade on hot summer afternoons. A huge back deck with plenty of seating is shaded by large growth maples and oaks and even a dogwood that I’m certain would be gorgeous in the Spring. I simply can’t think of one thing negative to say.

Excellent Cabin in the Woods

Three generations of our family stayed in the Bee Spring cabin. We were delighted with the layout of the cabin, its nearness to the lake (but shielded from a direct view of the lake - which was important, or the kids would have been begging to swim all the time!), and the site's short drive distance from Mammoth Cave. We especially loved the porches - great for bird-watching!!!

Great Way To Get Away From It All.

This was a perfect place for our family to checkout for awhile. We as a family enjoyed our time together without the day to day stresses of technology. We enjoyed our time playing games, swimming, kayaking and visiting Mammoth Cave National Park. Mark the owner was very friendly and provided lots of information. Positives: Large open spaces, direct lake access for swimming and kayaking. Cons: AC had a hard time keeping up with the hot days, bed broken in one of the rooms. For the price, somethings were rather dated.

In all, we had a wonderful time at this house, but with a few shortcomings.

The Nolin lake house in the woods is really very nice, quite beautiful, with big windows looking into foliage and the lake beyond, and generally well appointed and supplied. The views were great and we made good use of the lake and the kayaks. The open living area layout is great for a family gathering. Our group of eight people (six adults and two children) were very comfortable and fit perfectly around the large table for meals and family games. Likewise, the large sectional couch could accommodate us all. We brought our own screen and projector for watching movies together. There is a big porch/balcony where we enjoyed listening to birds and seeing fireflies. Of course during summertime in the woods, there were plenty of bugs to contend with, and ticks were a particular concern. For the most part the kitchen and laundry appliances were modern, in good shape and worked well. However, the ice maker was broken and there were no ice trays, so guest should be advised to arrive with a bag of ice. Also, the gas grill was non-functional, so the expert chef in the group had to grill over the fire pit. We really appreciated the provision of linens, towels, cloth napkins, toilet paper, and paper towels, as we are driving from out of state with already fully loaded cars. While the concept of the house being "off the grid" is well and good, the owner needs to improve the system so that the generator kicks in automatically when needed. The power would go off at some point pretty much every day, requiring someone to don long pants and apply bug repellant to traipse the hundred yards up the drive to the out building where the generator was located and manually start the generator. My biggest complaint, however, is with the access "road" which was rocky and narrow with a ridge in the center that was too high for our Prius to clear without scraping bottom. We had to drive with one set of wheels on the center ridge and the other on one edge, which was downright scary at two narrow parts with drop-offs on both sides, and challenging when the sides were deep and muddy or so steep and rocky that the wheels slipped. A couple of days we left the Prius parked out by the main road and had our son-in-law ferry people back and forth with his 4-wheel-drive Subaru. Another small point is that if you like bar soap, bring your own.

Beautiful Home

We really enjoyed our time at Disaway with our 3 kids (8, 5 & 3). The house and surrounding property is just beautiful. For those worried about the lack of technology (and we definitely were), we didn't even miss the TV/Internet. Instead we played games, did puzzles, took walks up and down the long and windy driveway and just relaxed looking over the lake. The home is stocked with everything that you would need, including many different games/toys for the kids, kayaks, life vests, firewood, washer/dryer, kitchen necessities, etc. Also, the upstairs loft area was a huge hit with our kids! We visited many of the local attractions and had a very memorable Spring Break. Already planning when we can come back!

The home was open, comfortable and the property was beautiful!

We had a group of 12, which included youth from a trauma therapy program. The kids loved exploring the 80 acre property, even when it was raining. There was plenty to do inside also, lots of games to enjoy! The best part—-no TV’s! We spent our trip talking and interacting with each other. Mark was an amazing host, he communicated thoroughly prior to our trip and was very responsive when we had questions during our trip. If you want privacy and seclusion within a beautiful, wooded setting on a lake, this is the place! Thank you Mark!

The Perfect Family Get Away! Relax, UnWind and Enjoy.

What an amazing hidden treasure. Secluded, peaceful and yet full of life. Our family spent the Thanksgiving holiday here and would recommend it to everyone. A gorgeous view from the front door to the back deck to the open balcony; a beautiful lake, and stunning wild animals. We were fortunate to see deer, wild turkeys, hawks, and a bobcat! Being a nature lover, our family fell in love with this getaway. Hiking trails around the property were perfect for exploring. We had a five day vacation and never left the property for the first two days! Lots to see and enjoy. Of course some of our kids were worried about not having Wifi or tv. However that was quickly forgotten about. We spent the days wandering and the evenings actually talking to each other, playing games, enjoying the fire place & outdoor deck campfire. If you are looking for a place to destress, unwind, and reconnect with your family, this is the perfect place! Oh and you're "next door" to a state park & Mammoth Cave. What more can you ask for...

Über den Gastgeber

Zu Gast bei Mark

Bild für Gastgeberprofil
I have been visiting Nolin Lake since I was 3 years old, my family having owned 2 different cabins through the years. Both areas eventually became too developed, basically becoming subdivisions next to the lake. My wife and I bought the vacant land in 1998 with the intent of maintaining it in a natural state and camped on the point for a decade. Our oldest girl camped for a few years, but we needed a cabin once our twins were born. The house was completed in 2007-2008, immediately becoming one of the most unique local places one could ever visit.

Darum fiel die Entscheidung auf diese Unterkunft

Being so far from the main road, and our desire to keep the woods intact, the decision to use solar power was not difficult. The house was designed from the ground up by Ginger Watkins, a refreshing new architect. Jeremy Coxon, founder of SunWindPower Inc, provided the expertise in developing a solar power system with generator back-up. The house was one of the first EVER totally off-grid houses in the entire state of Kentucky. Leon Mattingly, a local builder, came onto the project with decades of experience yet an open mind to deal with the unique requirements the house needed to make it as energy-efficient as possible.

We were quite meticulous in the placement of the house, preservation of the surrounding trees, access to the lake, etc. The careful pruning of the trees to increase views through the woods began years before the first shovel hit the ground. Even the ATV trails, which were quite active at the time of the purchase of the land, have been recycled, providing the basis of the hiking and mountain-biking trails around the lake. Most of the 83+ acres have been protected in a conservation easement, promising a legacy from our family to the beautiful nature of our beloved home state that our children can be proud of. The restrictions allow for a harvest of timber on a renewable basis, the most recent being in 2015. Prior to that, one was done in the early 1990's. Despite this, the land continues to support a oak/hickory forest upon which wildlife thrives.

Das macht diese Unterkunft einzigartig

The privacy of this house is unsurpassed. The hiking begins literally within a few feet of the house. The 0.8 mile-long driveway provides a pleasant quiet walk without having to worry about going 'off-road'. The private dock (only a handful of private docks on whole lake) sits in small offshoot of the main cove, with no other houses within 1/4 of a mile, though a couple of docks can be seen down the lake. (One distant dock can be quite, um, active on holiday weekends providing a reminder of how much you are enjoying your seclusion.)

New bird watchers can learn quite a bit just by looking out the windows or sitting on the dock or decks. Experienced nature lovers can use their ears to explore the woods even deeper. The amount of wildflowers and butterflies can keep kids entertained for hours.
