Serenity in the Country

The hosts were very friendly and attentive. Their historic home in the heart of rural central Kentucky provided a step back in time, and the excellent food added to the relaxing and inspirational experience. We look forward to our next stay.

5 Star Hosts, Home and Food!!!

My wife and I stayed here for one night as a surprise for her birthday as we visited Mammoth Cave. It was our first stay at a B&B, and it was a great experience.Tony and Sharon were incredible hosts. The home has amazing character and is very clean. There's also a fun game room with a pinball machine that Tony has had for about 40 years, very cool! Morning coffee on the front porch overlooking Brownsville and their garden was a highlight.The dinner and breakfast that Tony and Sharon made for us was a true delight. Their passion was displayed in the dishes they prepared, and everything tasted so fresh! That's not by accident; they grow a lot of the ingredients they used, and Sharon makes a wide assortment of jam and jelly.As we were leaving, Sharon said "Take care of each other." A slight twist from the usual "take care of yourself". That summarizes the type of hosts Tony and Sharon were during our stay. They went the extra mile and cared about our experience and comfort.

Amazing Experience

Sharon and Tony were incredibly welcoming to my girlfriend and I from the moment we arrived. We loved hearing the stories behind everything in the home—every item seemed to have its own little piece of history. The house itself was beautiful, and we had such a great time hanging out with Sharon and Tony in the game room, playing pinball and Pigs.I'm so glad we stumbled upon their bed and breakfast on our way to Nashville. If we head back that way, we're definitely coming back—and bringing another couple along with us!

Wonderful Bed and Breakfast!

My husband and I enjoyed our one night stay immensely! I would definitely want to stay there again if I ever return to that area. Tony and Sharon thought of everything! They were very gracious hosts and made us feel very welcome. The room was large and the bed was comfortable. Closet space was available and a little fridge was located in the bathroom that also had goodies in there if we wanted them. The bathroom had a combo jetted tub/shower and a hair dryer available. We also had access to their game room, dining room for the included breakfast, and that beautiful covered porch. We opted to have dinner there and we selected our meal from their menu a few days prior to arriving. It was absolutely delicious! Breakfast the next morning was also wonderful! They were very conscientious about avoiding spicy ingredients because of my digestive issues. Thank you both, again! I am a fairly quiet person and you both made me feel at ease right away. It's a beautiful home located close to Cave City and I recommend it 100%. More importantly, I recommend Tony and Sharon for their outstanding hospitality.
