We loved our stay! The location was perfect for exploring the area (Mammoth Caves, Diamond Caverns, Kentucky Down Under, Lost River Cavern). It was great to have some space for the kids to run around, and staying next to the horse ranch was a unique experience. We loved seeing the horses in the morning and in the moonlight. Great value, would definitely recommend for a family (or 2) visiting Mammoth Caves.

We love our guests that let us know how much they enjoyed their stay! The house is conveniently located close to attractions. Also a short drive to Nashville or Louisville! Also a safe kid friendly house with lots of games and space to enjoy the covered deck and outdoors. We work hard to give our guests a perfect retreat!
The host was very attentive and very professional. The stay was beautiful, with a gorgeous view. 10/10 would recommend.

Beautiful, Peaceful Cabin with Great Location – Highly Recommend!
Our stay at this cabin was fantastic! The property was beautifully maintained, spacious, and perfect for our family. One of our favorite moments was enjoying morning coffee on the porch while watching the horses—it was such a peaceful experience. The location was excellent, offering easy access to Mammoth Cave and some great local restaurants. We highly recommend this cabin for a relaxing and memorable getaway!

The log cabin on the Horse ranch was fantastic. Jade the host was great to work with. She was very communicative from a week before the trip. We got all the required info to check in and plenty of options for visiting around the area. We took her advice and went for an attraction which we were not aware of. Just 25 min from Mammoth caves and Corvette museum makes it a top spot to reserve. Our kids got to view the horses early in the morning and they were thrilled 😁. The rooms were clean and plenty of towels were provided for our stay. This place can house a party of 3 families comfortably. Would recommend to anyone who is visiting Mammoth caves national park .

The house is beautiful. The location is great on great roads. It is a peaceful quiet, country location. 5 minutes to I-65 and 15-20 minutes to a local attractions. The housekeeping is immaculate. The rolling pastures and horses are an extra treat!
Very comfortable and relaxing atmosphere. Had everything we needed and then some. Very clean.

We work hard to make sure everyone enjoys their stay on the horse farm! From comfortable beds to plenty of supplies. The housekeeping team is great! We always appreciate it when renters take the time to leave great reviews!
This place was in the country, but not so far out that you could not get to the interstate and get to places (so close to Buc-ees!) It was quite, and off the highway. When pulling up, you don't really get a feel of how big the house is until you are inside. Seeing horses and cows around was really nice to drink your morning coffee to! Jade was a fantastic host, constantly in touch to see if we needed anything, offering places to go or see, she even offered a horse feeding experience with my 6 year old, who just loved it there! The house was roomy and clean. With clear instructions on what was where, and what to do for checkout. I could not have asked for a better place to stay!

We are always happy when our guests have a perfectly relaxing stay! The house is located in a quiet country spot 5 acres of the rd. But only 3 miles to i65 and Smiths Grove with restaurants and grocery stores. It is within 15 -20 minutes of popular local attractions: The Corvette Museum is south on 1–65 and Mammoth Cave is 20 minutes North on I-65. 1hour to Nashville south or 1 hr North to Louisville. All great for day trips. Then quiet relaxation when you get back to the house.
Accused us of stealing a BLANKET because it wasn’t on the chair it originally was on and found bed bugs in downstairs bedroom. Also does not sleep 16 people. Rate is for 7 people and the rest have to sleep on air mattress.

We appreciate the time taken to do a review. The original reservation was for 2 however at the last minute changed to 10. We understand plans change and always work hard to accommodate our guests. The description clearly states the rates so there are no surprises. Anyone can contact us it there are questions. Had The renter looked They would have seen bed bug protectors in place, The house was inspected and None were found. The check out instructions are very specific asking simply to put linens in the laundry and start a load of wash. When guests move everything around it can be very difficult to put everything back. We never accused anyone of taking anything. We simply asked where items were and were given false information. As owners we are always disappointed when guests make false accusations in hopes of getting money back.We always carefully inspect and thoroughly clean the house to ensure a comfortable stay.
With over Ten years in business and ONE HUNDRED EIGHTY FIVE 5 star reviews, this house continues to be a top rental.
Enjoyed our weekend staying near Mammoth Cave. We visited the park and did lots of hiking. A beautiful area for sure To visit in the fall!
