Great short trip to cave country

We booked a last minute stay during our kids' spring break and were very happy with the home. There was plenty of space for our family of 4 and 2 small dogs, and it was well furnished with everything needed for cooking a couple meals at home. Quiet neighborhood with a private feel, an easy base for day trips to Cave City and Bowling Green.

Amazing Experience

This place was amazing! Such a short drive to several slips. Pool table in great condition and so many amenities! Firewood was provided. We were lucky that the cabin beside us was vacant during our stay! Will absolutely come back.

Wonderful family getaway

My family ages 21 to 70+ had a nice long weekend at the cabin. Everything was spotless and the property was very quiet and relaxing. We really enjoyed the fire pit and screened porch. The cabin had all the amenities we needed. I especially liked that one of the bedrooms was on the main floor as my parents are elderly. The host was very responsive. Cabin location was also great and within less than a 40 minute drive of activities for all interests and ages.

Gorgeous

This cabin and property is beautiful and spacious. It is well stocked with everything you could ever need. Melissa is an incredible communicator and check in/out is a breeze. My family loved the walk out basement and pool table- not to mention the yard and fireplace. Would definitely recommend! Grocery stores and restaurants within 20 minutes, Mammoth Cave about 40 minutes. If we are ever in the area again, we will absolutely stay here!

Quite Get Away

The location of this property allowed us to visit/explore a variety of caves in neighboring towns. Also it is not too far to make a day trip to Nashville. Would recommend Annie’s for breakfast in Glasgow. Last, Melissa was very responsive to our questions/comments. She is a great host. Cabin was clean as advertised and provides ample room for a variety of family activities.

Perfect getaway for a group of friends

We stayed two nights with another family for a low key getaway for my husband’s 40th birthday. We grilled out, hung out by the fire and just enjoyed the downtime. There were lots of things to entertain the kids, from games to tinker toys; and the property was just beautiful. We will definitely keep this one in our list of places to revisit!!

Beautiful modern cabin

This cabin is accurately described in the listing. The spacious 2 story open living room allows a lot of light in. There was plenty of space for our family of 5 adults. We visited Mammoth Cave and Crystal Onyx Cave and hiked in the area. We would have liked to use the outdoor fire pit and screened in porch, but time did not allow.

The Perfect Place for us

We had a family getaway weekend and ended up here while we ventured out and explored a little bit of what Kentucky has to offer. A beautiful place in a beautiful setting. We really enjoyed our evenings here relaxing, enjoying the sunset and brushing up on our pool skills. It was the perfect place for us. Beyond this, any needed communication was very prompt and I greatly appreciated this! Thank you agian for letting enjoy your beautiful space!

About the host

Hosted by MELISSA

Host profile image
We strive to make your stay at our cabins an exceptional experience. We are constantly upgrading and making improvements like new furniture, professional landscaping, a bubbling boulder and a chapel for guests who want to get married. We have recently started featuring the same luxury spa sheets used in 97% of Forbes 5-Star resorts. Once you stay with us you will see the difference.


Why they chose this property

It is truly one of a kind! You'll never see another like it. It's remarkable to see much less stay in. The little log cabins in the back yard next to the fire pits make it even more endearing. There's a tree in back we call "The Hugging Tree" because it looks as if the trees are hugging. We've recently added a chapel for weddings and a bubbling boulder.

What makes this property unique

Close to Mammoth Cave. The Narrows Marina is a mile from the cabin, where you can swim, fish, boat, picnic and go on walking trails. Conveniently located for Mammoth Cave, Dinosaur World, Lost River Cave, Beech Bend or National Corvette Museum in Bowling Green.
