Home Away From Home

This was such a wonderful stay for us! The house is beautiful. Very family friendly. Perfect for guests with children. My significant other, my five year old niece, and I felt right at home here. It was truly equipped with everything. Playset, toys, and dishes for children including cutlery was such a unique touch.This little country house had so much to offer. Whoever designed and decorated the inside, brilliant job! Did not expect that looking from the outside. So modern and cozy! We hope to visit again!!

Great location for a trip to the National Park! Property was GORGEOUS - we loved all the outside seating and sunset at the pond. Check in was easy peasy - simple instructions and good communication from the host.

This was a wonderful stay for me and my family. The home was well supplied with everything we needed. It was very clean and comfortable and my kids loved the property. The play set and the pond kept them occupied! We would totally look at this home to stay again if we come back to the area in the future.

Very nice property! We really enjoyed our stay. It was quite convenient to get to Mammoth Cave and Cave City as well. The interior of the home was very nice. It looked like it was recently renovated and was super clean. It had all the conveniences and comforts of home. The smart TVs and Internet access worked perfectly. The outdoor space was nice as well. We definitely recommend staying at this property.

Sweet escape

The host and property were amazing. The host thought of every little detail to make our Stay feel comfortable and like a home away from home. Our eight-year-old son enjoyed the playground, the pond where he caught serval fish (catch and release), boar games and so much more. We look forward to staying again at the end of the summer.
