We had a great time at this location. The property was beautiful, and the house was perfect for our reunion. The host stayed in contact throughout the entire process, and we were well-informed and confident she would meet all of our needs. We will stay here again if we get the opportunity. I would recommend it to your family as well.
Beautiful, Peaceful Cabin with Great Location – Highly Recommend!
Our stay at this cabin was fantastic! The property was beautifully maintained, spacious, and perfect for our family. One of our favorite moments was enjoying morning coffee on the porch while watching the horses—it was such a peaceful experience. The location was excellent, offering easy access to Mammoth Cave and some great local restaurants. We highly recommend this cabin for a relaxing and memorable getaway!
Property is easy to get to, but secluded from the hustle and busle of the highway and city. Includes a peaceful country atmosphere.

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 .
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 owners were fantastic, helpful and attentive. The house was warm and in a great location away from noise. Sitting on the deck looking at horses and cows was very enjoyable. Highly recomend this property!
Great home for a family getaway. My wife, 4 teenagers had a great time and this home was perfect for us. It was very comfortable and well decorated as well as very clean. Host was fantastic and met all our needs. Location was good as we were close to Mammoth Cave and the National Corvette Museum. Many other nice attractions also. Would highly recommend this rental to anyone with a family, absolutely enjoyed the stay!
Great property and hostess! The property was the perfect location for our family, we visited Mammoth Cave and the museums in Bowling Green. We highly recommend the 5 broke girl’s restaurant in Cave City, great burgers and onion rings. The property hostess was very attentive to all our needs and we enjoyed watching the horses and the cows from the deck! We had a great vacation!
Great house! Very peaceful. Just a short distance from main highway and a small grocery store. Host was great with communication. We visited Mammoth Cave and Nashville during this visit. Our only complaint was the deposit took the "allowed" 4 weeks to be returned.
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.
The home was excellent. Everything that was needed was already available. Plenty of room for us all. The host was very responsive and communicated to us if there was anything we needed. Definitely would come back again. Thank you Jade for making this a memorable moment for our family!
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.
This home worked out great for our three generations of family to meet and celebrate Thanksgiving. Jade made sure to check on anything we might need and even put up Christmas decorations for us to enjoy. Cooked a full turkey dinner and celebrated two family birthdays while we were there. Great location to visit Mammoth Caves and the surrounding area.
The beds are all very comfortable and the main bedroom is beautiful and huge. It worked as a separate movie room for grandma and the kids while grandpa watched football. We had a great time. Thank you for your hospitality.
Everything was as described. We had a last minute addition to our group and Jade took care of it immediately.
Our intent was to find a big house within 90 minutes of Louisville and Nashville. This was it! We did daily trips to our adventures and came back to a great place to relax.
We had a group of 10 staying at the house and had room for everyone.
Can't say enough about the location and beauty of the property. Beautiful and comfortable! Thank you!
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.
Gorgeous, relaxing, cozy, and great customer service
We had a wonderful time staying at Jade and Angelo's cabin. They have excellent customer service from communication, ensuring the property is ready, check-in and check-out process, and ensuring we are comfortable during our stay. The property and the location is very peaceful and relaxing. It's around 20-25mins away to Mammoth Cave, 30mins to Nolin River, and an hour away from Nashville so we were able to do both nature and bar activities during our 4 day stay. The cabin is so nice and cozy. It is well maintained and has all the amenities we need. We had the chance to chat with the nice and friendly owners! We had a great family time at night relaxing by the camp fire and made smores. The mornings are my favorite... it was a great experience to unplug, relax in the hammock with a cup of coffee watching the lush greenery and the beautiful horses as the sun rises. I highly recommend this place!!!
The property has a picturesque setting, with beautiful rolling fields and horses. There's a hammock on the porch & large-sized master and private bedrooms. It's close to local attractions, and common areas were spacious enough for our sibling trip. Clean and generally a good rental.
It may not be for everyone, so I just wanted to flag a few things. I suspect Jade has had some bad experiences with guests that have led to these, but still not ideal for everyone:
- Temperature range is pre-set and cannot be adjusted; Jade was responsive when we asked her to change the range. However, the thermostat is in the hallway near the door so the temperature range applies to the hallway and the bedrooms downstairs got very hot at 4 am (everyone woke up!). I prefer to be able to control the temperature myself, and everyone's "comfort settings" are a little different, so if this is an issue for you, this may not be the house for you.
- Cameras that appear to have audio are in several places around the porch, which makes it not particularly enjoyable to hang out on the porch for coffee and conversation. It's more than a "Ring" doorbell, with multiple cameras views from all sides. Again, some people won't mind but not for everyone.
- I bet Jade is very nice but not great at texting, and her communication style can seem perhaps unintentionally abrupt (lots of all caps). There are notes all around the house (lots of DO NOTs); some are helpful, some less so.
This proper was well stocked, plenty of everything including toilet paper! The grounds are beautiful as well. We stayed for WKU family weekend and it was about 20 minutes from campus. Beers were super comfy! Would definitely stay again!
