We loved our stay! The house is beautiful and the hosts were very kind and accommodating. It was a unique experience. and felt very cozy compared to staying in a hotel. The food was delicious and exceeded our expectations!
This was a super cute and fun bed and breakfast! The hosts are unbelievably hospitable and will spoil you during your stay. They go above and beyond to make sure you are comfortable and have everything you need. We highly recommend the dinner they offer. After a day of hiking at Mammoth Cave, it was just what we needed. The bedroom is comfortable, and we slept great. We highly recommend staying here!
Sharon and Tony spoiled us from the moment we arrived until we had to say goodbye. The house, room, grounds, food and hosts were amazing. We did not want to leave and will definately be back. Do yourself a favor and choose one of the amazing dinner meals offered.
This was our first bed and breakfast experience and Tony & Sharon exceeded all expectations! They are the best! Beautiful house and property, clean and comfortable rooms, and amazing food! We opted to have them make dinner both nights we stayed and that was the best decision we made. With their background, the pizza and meatballs dinners were excellent! We chose to stay here to visit the caves and it’s a short 20 minute easy drive. We will truly visit again in the future and we feel we made new friends staying here. Thank you so much Tony & Sharon for a wonderful bed & breakfast experience!
You must stay here if you're in the area. Everything is top notch. Be sure to take advantage of the dinners as there aren't many options in the area and it was very nice (as were the breakfasts). Sharon & Tony will go out of their way to pamper you.
Tony and Sharon are excellent hosts! We felt like we were family coming for a visit. The home is wonderful and there is even a bonus furry friend. We talked for hours and had an entertaining game evening. The food is outstanding and the room is very comfortable. We will return again to the area but mostly to visit our new friends!
This was the most amazing stay I've had anywhere. Mike and Sharon were beyond gracious, understanding, and accommodating. I've never had such a caring experience. I will happily be making another booking. The breakfast was stunning, amazing company and conversation. Don't pass up this chance.
Sharon and Tony were the ultimate hosts! We had the pleasure of booking a dinner with them on our first night there. And the morning breakfasts were so plentiful and delicious. They served us cappuccino’s before breakfast on the front porch as we listened to the birds and enjoyed the view. They were very open to our schedule. The room and adjoining bathroom felt very private and were very comfortable. We would 100% recommend them anytime your traveling in the area.
It was home away from home, like family, I Loved the Beautiful Old Home, Tony and Sharon pampered us, she made sure I had roses what ever room I was in, the Breakfast was made for a King and Queen, made us feel so special, Tony's coffee, excellent! Sharon's Honemade Jams, and sweet breads, excellent, Our room took us back in time, with the Beautiful Antiques, we will be back in the Fall! Its a 5 star in our book!
We had a wonderful stay at the Dossey House Bed & Breakfast! The house was clean and full of charm. The hosts curated a delicious menu selection for us. Their attention to detail made our anniversary weekend extra special! This house is located about 20 minutes from the Mammouth Cave visitor's center and is accessible to the main road. If you've ever thought about trying a bed and breakfast experience, this is the place to book!
We had a lovely stay at the Historic Reed Dossey House. The hosts, Sharon and Tony, put a lot of effort and personal touches in to making it a memorable place, from welcoming letters to a special wedding cake for our honeymoon. All the food was very delicious, including the optional dinners. We even brought home some of the jams they make. They graciously showed us around their home and gave us tips on things to do in the area.The location was great for seeing Mammoth Cave and antique shopping in Franklin. Sharon and Tony were very accommodating with an early breakfast before our morning cave tour. The game room was neat; we had fun playing pinball. We loved their sweet kitty, too.Although not uncommon in homes that didn't originally have plumbing, the steps in the bathroom could be challenging for some people. The motion light on them helped, though.Overall a wonderful stay. Thank you!
The property is beautiful. The cleanliness was great and the communication with the owners was amazing. I would recommend to anyone looking for a wonderful homey feeling place to stay.
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.
Tony and Sharon are amazing hosts! Incredibly personable, and the breakfast was delicious. The home is gorgeous, historic, and Katie Kat is adorable. Highly recommended.
The historic property was beautifully furnished with thoughtful details for comfort and convenience. It is evident that Tony and Sharon thoroughly enjoy hosting guests in their home.
This was simply the best Bed & Breakfast we have ever stayed at. The food was excellent and Tony and Sharon go above and beyond to ensure you are happy and comfortable. We hope to visit again!
Our time at the Reed-Dossey House was absolutely wonderful. Evenings playing pinball in the game room were so much fun, and Tony and Sharon went above and beyond by making a cake and singing to my sister for her birthday. Their warm hospitality, delicious breakfasts, and attention to detail made this stay truly special. Highly recommend!
