Spacious, clean, adorable!

An absolutely wonderful place to stay! I wish we could take this place with us! There was so much space in the living, dining, and kitchen area. The rooms were spacious as well. Every amenity was provided that we needed, and we all loved the resident cows in the field adjacent to the property. A lovely stay!!

Country comfort close to Bowling Green

Johnathan had excellent communication with us before & during our stay and the house was clean, beautiful, and stocked with everything we needed. There were also great recommendations of nearby restaurants and attractions and the trip to Bowling Green was quick and easy. The sunrise pictures and morning coffee were relaxing and enjoyable from the back patio. A great place to stay!

Mammoth Cave

We had such a great stay at Nonna’s place! I planned this weekend getaway for my boyfriend’s birthday. Neither of us had been to Mammoth Cave in many years. I found Nonna’s Place on VRBO and it looked and sounded amazing! I’m so glad we stayed here! It was clean, comfortable and felt like home. We look forward to visiting again soon!

KY vacation

The house was extremely clean and felt very homey. The rooms are bigger then they appear in the picture. It's in a quiet, safe, rural area, but close to the interstate and centerally located, allowing us to visit other regions of KY. 10/10!

Beautiful

Great place to stay near Mammoth Cave and so much more to do in the area! Felt like home away from home. Excellent communication and your host really want you to enjoy their property! The place is spacious, sparkling clean, private, well thought out, put together and had everything we needed for our stay. We would definitely book again over any place else if we came back to the same area. We have already sent the listing information on to friends who are interested in visiting the area as well.

Comfortable and centrally located

My family stayed in Nonna’s place, which included our 4, 7, & 9 year old sons. Everything was very clean. The kitchen had every dish, spoon, bowl, etc. we could ask for. There were plenty of towels and washcloths available as well. The house is centrally located. There were also several board games for the whole family. It is a short drive to Mammoth Cave National Park (where we spent most of our time) and Bowling Green.

Nonna's place is so perfect!

Great spot to stay and explore the Bowling Green area. It's a little noisy because it's right by the road, but turn on the fan or something and it's fine. The cows are very friendly and don't make any noise. Everything was spotlessly clean.
