Beautiful place with thoughtful touches throughout. The host was incredibly responsive and easy to communicate with. The open layout made it perfect for our family, and everyone enjoyed their stay—the kids loved it, and the adults did too. We would happily stay here again
Everything was top shelf. More than we needed. Clean! Host 100. Great space for me and my wife. Location very close to Beech Drag Strip and Amusement Park. Parking Great. Snacks and water and extra bathroom items much appreciated. Thank you Thank You Thank You.

Thank you so much for the wonderful review! You all were wonderful to host and we welcome you back again anytime!
This place is amazing! We felt completely at home and Jerri and Pat were amazing hosts! It was clean with modern decor and amenities. They truly thought of everything from the forgotten home essentials, games, and so much more. My girls loved the snack basket! The location was so close to all the tourist sites. We would definitely come back and stay

Thank you so much for the kind words. We are so grateful we were able to host you and your family! We would love for you to come back anytime!
The attention to detail of this beautiful property definitely made all of us feel welcomed from the moment we stepped onto the front porch. Beautifully decorated, but still very comfortable and you felt at ‘home’ in every room of this home. We appreciated the cleanliness, it was well stocked with extra towels and extra linens, and the welcome basket with the snacks was a hit! We booked it right away for our trip next year to the Bowling Green area. Thank you for being awesome hosts!

Thank you so much! We really appreciate your kind words. We are honored you chose to stay at Blue Haven and welcome you back anytime!
I love how this host has a lot of little extras that you would normally need to bring or purchase. Water, snacks, First aide kit, sun screen, sewing kit, spices, cooking oil… and the list goes on. Lovely host and home. When I come back to this area, I will definitely stay here again. I also love how it’s outside of Bowling Green so it was very peaceful yet close enough to everything we needed and wanted to do. We had everything we needed here and then some.

Thank you so much Melissa! It was a joy to host you and your family. I am glad you appreciated the little extras we have at Blue Haven. We’ve worked hard to ensure it is exceptionally clean, comfortable and cozy for our guests. We truly want it to feel like your home away from home! We hope you will come back and stay with us again real soon!
From the moment we pulled up, we thought, "What a cute place!" We immediately fell in love with the charming front porch. The host was absolutely wonderful to work with and provided excellent communication from the moment I booked until the end of our stay.The home was spotless, spacious, and incredibly welcoming. There was plenty of room for everyone, and both bathrooms were a great size. The kitchen was fantastic—we especially loved the large island and how well it was stocked with everything we needed.Every little detail made us feel at home, from the extra toiletries (just in case you forgot something) to the thoughtful welcome card, basket of snacks, and extra bottles of water. The house was beautifully decorated and full of charm.Unfortunately, the weather didn't cooperate, so we weren't able to enjoy the back porch. We would have loved to grill out or relax by the fire pit. Even so, we enjoyed a great cup of coffee every morning while sitting on the front porch.The location was another huge plus—it was just minutes away from everything, making it easy to get wherever we wanted to go while still enjoying a quiet, relaxing stay.When we return to Bowling Green, we will definitely book this home again. We highly recommend it to anyone looking for a comfortable, charming, and thoughtfully appointed place to stay!The location was just minutes away from everything.

Thank you so much for the wonderful review! We take pride in making sure the home is exceptionally clean and we appreciate you noticing the little extras we always provide to make our guests stay even more enjoyable! You all were a joy to host and we would love to have you back again anytime!!
We had a great stay! The home was the perfect size for four adults, with plenty of space for everyone to be comfortable. The hosts were incredibly welcoming and friendly. We appreciated the baskets of snacks and the waters in the fridge—we took a few with us on our adventure to Mammoth Cave National Park.We loved the peaceful, remote location and enjoyed relaxing on the porch with morning coffee and while doing a little light studying. The hosts were always responsive, and it was a nice and thoughtful touch to have beyond just the common items stocked and on hand. It was the perfect accommodation to celebrate my birthday : ) Highly recommend this vacation rental!

About the host
Hosted by Jerri Lynne Hayes
Pat and I were high school sweethearts and we’ve been married for 46 years. We have 3 sons, 3 daughter-in-laws and 5 precious grandchildren (4 boys and 1 girl). They range in age from 3 days old to 14 years old. Pat and I are both retired. We are active in our church, Plum Springs Baptist. Our church is just a few minutes away from Blue Haven, so if you happen to be here on a Sunday we would love to have you visit. We enjoy camping, traveling, and most of all spending time with our family. Having time to spend with our grandchildren truly is the best thing about retirement!
Why they chose this property
We love the neighborhood because it feels private but still just minutes to everything!!

Outside on the breezy front porch, you can enjoy rocking in the rockers, lounging on the loveseat or sipping your favorite drink at the table.
