We loved our stay! The location was perfect for exploring the area (Mammoth Caves, Diamond Caverns, Kentucky Down Under, Lost River Cavern). It was great to have some space for the kids to run around, and staying next to the horse ranch was a unique experience. We loved seeing the horses in the morning and in the moonlight. Great value, would definitely recommend for a family (or 2) visiting Mammoth Caves.

Liked: Cleanliness
The location of the property is absolutely breathtaking. It is very family friendly..porches all the way around allowed for the grand kids to run and play without us worrying about where they were. The owner was so kind to the kids. She introduced them to the horses, and helped them learn to feed/pet them with her assistance. There is a king bed, 2 queens, and a set of bunk beds as described. If you have older children or more than 6-8 adults, be prepared for sleeping on sofas or blow up beds as described. Our kids were small, so it was fine. There were plenty of sheets, pillows and blankets and hot water. Bar soap was provided, but if you like body wash, bring your own. The kitchen was well equipped with dishes, pots, pans, etc.. but bring your own zip locks, storage containers, plastic wrap if you have leftovers. There are fold out tables, and chairs that accommodate a large group. There is a washer and dryer, but bring your own detergent if you are staying a while and plan to wash clothes. If you want to check in early, there is an extra charge to hire more housekeepers to finish pre-cleaning early, so be sure to communicate that to the owner in advance. The gate does not open until 4:00 for check in as advertised. There are stores to purchase food/items within a short distance if you forget something. The owner, Jade was very kind, and responded quickly to our inquiries. We would stay here again.

This place was in the country, but not so far out that you could not get to the interstate and get to places (so close to Buc-ees!) It was quite, and off the highway. When pulling up, you don't really get a feel of how big the house is until you are inside. Seeing horses and cows around was really nice to drink your morning coffee to! Jade was a fantastic host, constantly in touch to see if we needed anything, offering places to go or see, she even offered a horse feeding experience with my 6 year old, who just loved it there! The house was roomy and clean. With clear instructions on what was where, and what to do for checkout. I could not have asked for a better place to stay!

The log cabin on the Horse ranch was fantastic. Jade the host was great to work with. She was very communicative from a week before the trip. We got all the required info to check in and plenty of options for visiting around the area. We took her advice and went for an attraction which we were not aware of. Just 25 min from Mammoth caves and Corvette museum makes it a top spot to reserve. Our kids got to view the horses early in the morning and they were thrilled 😁. The rooms were clean and plenty of towels were provided for our stay. This place can house a party of 3 families comfortably. Would recommend to anyone who is visiting Mammoth caves national park .

Beautiful area

This property is beautiful, we all wished we could stay longer and just enjoy the deck and fire pit a little more. House is very clean. Beds were comfortable. Be aware the bunk beds are not in a room, they're under the stairs, so not a lot of privacy. There were 8 of us in the house and it was snug-I don't think having the 16 it says it can accommodate would be comfortable. The owner is extra communicative. The lock on the door took a hot minute to figure out but once we did we had no issues the rest of the trip. (The owner did send a video on how to work the door). Kitchen is pretty well stocked with pots and pans, etc. I would definitely consider this property again in my future travels.

Relaxing break from the races

We as Sunseeker Solar Car Project annually attend a track race each summer. This year's occurred at the National Corvette Museum's Motorsports Park. The races can be very hot and exhausting as we are out in the hot 12+ hours a day each day. This VRBO served as a nice place to rest out of the sun and heat during the weeklong event! The property is very quiet and away from any major traffic, yet close enough to the highway for you to get anywhere fast. The host was very polite and accommodating and frequently checked in on us to make sure we were doing okay. If I end up back in the Smiths Grove/Bowling Green area again, I will absolutely be coming back here!

Wake up to horses next door with only rollings hills and cattle in view. This lovely home is a GREAT retreat from the typical hotel stay or urban setting. Owner is very supportive and willing to offer any assistance she can to make your stay convenient and comfortable. You are 7 minutes from the new Bucc-ees, 20-ish minute from Mammoth Caves Visitor center, and 30-ish minutes from Bowling Green. The grocery store in town is lovely with wonderful service. Nice home with all the little touches to make a convenient and comfortable stay.

At Home in the Country

A great place to stay if your visiting Bowling Green. A short drive to a peaceful and picturesque setting just off of I-65. Enjoy country living in a modern log cabin with all the comforts of home. The furnishings and de-core are fitting to the countryside. The home has porches on 3 sides from which you can watch the sun rise, the sun set, or just watch the horses graze in the pasture. Your host is very friendly and makes you feel right at home.

Jade is an amazing host!

Our family group included a 4-year-old and a 1-year-old and Jade made sure we had a high chair, booster seat, and safety measures appropriate to those ages. The house was just as advertised and perfect for the 7of us. We were grateful for Jade’s suggestions regarding area attractions, given our little ones and our lack of familiarity with the local scene. The kids loved watching the horses grazing in pastures close to the house too. We had a terrific visit.
