Gorgeous rental

We loved every minute of our stay. Very quiet and peaceful. Tim and Shannon were great at getting back to me with any issues. But we did not have any issues , it was really just questions. We had to extend our stay by 4 days and they were so accommodating. We will be back sometime and this is where we will rent again.

Perfect Getaway Stay

This place is in a great location for those who want to explore and do outdoor activities. There is plenty to do within a 30 mile drive, which is beautiful in any direction. We enjoyed our time in Bowling Green, and the areas in and around Mammoth Cave. This home has a stocked kitchen (minus spray oil), plenty of towels, and laundry machines were a plus! They also provided a small bowl of snacks. The only issue we had was the driveway is a bit steep for a super car! :-)

Perfect getaway location

Me my wife and 1 year old daughter absolutely loved our stay here. We were in the perfect location to hit Nashville for a day, side by sides another, Mammoth cave, and not even enough time to hit the local fishing. Tucked into the woods was an ideal spot for our getaway while being near so many awesome spots. Being from Michigan and enjoying the local Kentucky countryside was a definite plus. Even happened to run into the owners and they were super nice and accommodating. Would 100% recommend this location to anyone looking for a fun getaway. Although we didn't spend much daylight at our place, the porch and sun room elevated our stay that much more. Was sad to leave.

Amazing Cabin & Bring along your Small Boat!

We LOVED our stay at this little cabin near Barren River lake! Super clean & inviting, comfy bed, great shower & everything we needed - we esp loved eating out on the sun porch! The best part? SO convenient traveling with our 15’ deck boat. Easy pull through & enough cover for our Wrangler & boat trailer! Thank goodness bc a huge storm came through! Also - literally only 2 minutes from the Port Oliver boat launch. Amazing & made our drops into the 💦 so easy! It was our first time to this lake & we will definitely be back - met so many kind locals! We even caught the annual poker run which was perfect for exploring the lake, coves & marinas! This stay was 5 stars all the way! Thanks for the booking!
