The property was located in Amish country with a pond in the back yard. We saw lots of horse and buggies and wildlife. It was so peaceful and not a very long drive from a wide variety of entertainment. We would stay here again!

Our family had the trip of a lifetime to Mammoth Cave! Cabin was a wonderful place to stay. Fishing in the pond was fantastic. Amish buggies were fascinating to my son. Road gets pretty busy at times but pond is quiet and peaceful most of the time.

This was my second stay at this cozy cabin, and I am already hoping for a third! The kitchen has everything you need if you like to cook on your vacation and a microwave if you don't The view is amazing no matter what time of the day or night you get to sit and rock on the porch. I had never used VRBO before this but found the experience user friendly. It's obvious the hosts take great care of their cabin and want you to enjoy your time there. I would highly recommend this cabin to everyone.

About the host

Hosted by Dee

Host profile image
We're the proverbial "Odd Couple". He's retired, Vietnam Veteran, ex cowboy, bass fisherman that always needs to be doing something and I work full time in the corporate world and like to relax by being a farmHER.

Why they chose this property

When we bought this property it was an overgrown, tangled piece of swamp land that just needed to be brought back to life. We spent 3 years turning it into something next to Heaven on Earth and believe that it can bring a little bit of peace and Heaven to your time away from home.

What makes this property unique

This is the house that love built. It will be our only home when we are too old and tired to take care of the big house and farm. Sitting in the rocking chair, looking out at the pond brings inner peace at the end of a long day. It is big enough and yet small enough that you don't get lost in it.
