The home is very comfortable and has what you need to enjoy your stay. We spent our days exploring Mammoth National Park, the Diamond Caverns, the Corvette Museum and Churchill Downs. All of these visits are a must. TJ is a great host and ensured we had what was needed prior to our arrival.

Everything was perfect. Excellent and fast communication with the host whenever we had any questions. Outstanding location (local coffee spot was a hidden gem.) I would recommend this place to anyone. Take a drive in any direction and the sights are nothing short of beautiful.

Just needs some minor upkeep. As far as furniture outside and landscape. I'm sure that is due to the popularity of the cottage. And the time of year. The driveway is a bit intimidating, with it being such a steep hill and rock gravel. It's VERY clean, and a comfy place to stay. Wanted to have a bonfire, but it rained so we chose a night in for movies And relaxing. We were very happy with our stay. We were able to take our dog when the pet sitter didn't work out, and he even worked with the last minute change in plans. Would suggest a bigger sign for the house number. LolBut the special instructions were very accurate and helped a lot.

First thing we noticed was how clean the place was and smelled great all that really stood out. We've stayed at a lot of VRBO and this one stood out. Also the host contacted me th efforts day to make sure everything was working and we had what we needed, first time for that. As mentioned there is a short term rental on the property so you may have neighbors ours turned out to be very curtious. So if this place looks good to you don't hesitate this is one of the best VRBO places we've stayed at.

Daughter & I stayed 4 nights as a base to visit Nolin Lake & Mammoth Cave NP away from the tourist crowds. MCNP is 45 minutes away on scenic, rural roads. Best thing about this rental: access to the neighborhood boat ramp with adjacent swimming area, a 5 minute walk away or you can drive & park there. The bottom is sandy/rocky, not muck. This saved our visit to the area, booked before I learned that the public beaches on Nolin Lake & most of NLSP are closed due to spring flooding, expected to be closed for the season. We enjoyed floating in the lake & enjoyed some gorgeous sunsets there. Our host was responsive the few times we messaged. The cottage had everything we needed - used the firepit & kitchen to make a few meals. The AC was needed & appreciated. Nice seating area outside. Cottage is in a wooded neighborhood of cottages & RVs & situated for outdoor views. Neighbors were very friendly. Would recommend. Good for groups, families, little ones, people w mobility issues. Other than a few steps to the door, the cottage is all one level & you can park close to the door.

Great Place

It was really a great place, although the cleaner I believe it was, left soda on the table and the closet door open with keys in the lock and a pile bedding on one of the beds, just fyi. But very nice place! There is a dip in the driveway that is a bit hard on the car. But thanks for the nice place.

Cute place

We enjoyed our stay with some exceptions. There was a single partially used roll of toilet paper in the house. I can understand having to supply paper products for the majority of our stay, but that wasn’t even enough for one night with three ladies. Also short on paper towels and no kitchen towels to be found to use instead. TV remotes had no batteries, there was a sour milk smell in the fridge. Towels, sheets, and pillows need a major upgrade. When we messaged the host for help with TVs we got a very generic reply and then silence. But it was very quiet and peaceful, and it was close enough to Mammoth Cave and the Lincoln sites to be easy to get around. Price was very affordable.

poor communication & a few hiccups but overall a fine stay

The outdoor pergola lights were not working & I messaged the host our first night there & didn’t hear back for over 12 hours. Then, the nextmorning as we woke up, the primary bedroom bed cracked beneath us & when we took off the mattress it appeared that the bed wasn’t properly built & was missing some screws. We used pallets found in another room to create a support under the bed which made it useable but it wasn’t ideal. After mssng and calling the host about the lights, the bed, and the tv remote batteries being out (we asked if there were replacements) we waited over 12 hours for any response and the response wasn’t helpful. Host ignored the batteries, told us to plug in the lights (they were plugged in), and offered to “come look” at the bed the following evening. To be fair, we turned down the offer of him coming to look at it bc we didn’t want it to interfere with our plans - but the bed should’ve been in safe condition to begin with. We also happened to be there during heavy rain & the door keypad wasn’t working while wet so we struggled to get in one evening. Last con was the driveway had a very large dip which damaged my car when we pulled in/out and almost made the driveway inaccessible entirely. Now the positives - plenty of space for a family (there were only 2 of us but could’ve had a few more people comfortably). The bathtub was so nice - we really enjoyed using that!! Roku TVs were nice & space was clean. Kitchen had everything we needed.

Cozy, lovely cabin

This well appointed cabin had all we needed for a short stay close to Mammoth Cave national Park. Our family of four found it perfectly suitable with comfortable beds and adorable kitchen with a brand new sink! We had a lovely time here in the quiet of the woods, before heading over to Mammoth Cave the following day. Thank you for a fabulous stay!

Cute place!

This stay was adorable. The place was clean and my toddler LOVED the bath tub! The chalk board was super fun and there were lots of cute books to read. It was easy to get into the place and to find it. The only drawback was that it is in the opposite side of Mammoth Cave than the visitor center, which is about 40 minutes from the house. However, there is a great park with a playground right near the home. Otherwise, it was great place!

Cozy Cottage

Just returned from a wonderful stay at this location!! First want to straighten out some of the past reviews: this location definitely has a conventional stove/oven, second point, yes there are two units on this lot but you definitely have your own private outdoor space, there are two separate fire pits and two separate porches. The only downside is, Yes you “could” sleep 5 or 6 people but there are not enough utensils to feed 6 people without bringing your own additional dishes. This unit is WONDERFUL for 2 people. Lastly, it is a SOLID 45 minute drive to the Mammoth Cave Visitor Center. Would definitely recommend!
