Truly a home away from home

My friend and I are taking a rod trip and going to visit Mammoth Caves, so we wanted something nearby. I found the B&B listing and all the rave reviews are true, and then some! Communication with Tony was easy and when we arrived, he and Sharon greeted us with open arms - and open umbrellas to get our luggage! We had opted to have dinner here at the end of a long day of driving and what a great choice - we had the most delicious steak with baked potato and salad... and then Sharon surprised us with a birthday cake (and homemade cards) as we are both celebrating our 50th this year. Everything about this place is thoughtful and considered, the house itself is gorgeous and really convenient to the Cave, and we feel so welcome and comfortable here! Couldn’t recommend highly enough!!

Wonderful Bed and Breakfast!

My husband and I enjoyed our one night stay immensely! I would definitely want to stay there again if I ever return to that area. Tony and Sharon thought of everything! They were very gracious hosts and made us feel very welcome. The room was large and the bed was comfortable. Closet space was available and a little fridge was located in the bathroom that also had goodies in there if we wanted them. The bathroom had a combo jetted tub/shower and a hair dryer available. We also had access to their game room, dining room for the included breakfast, and that beautiful covered porch. We opted to have dinner there and we selected our meal from their menu a few days prior to arriving. It was absolutely delicious! Breakfast the next morning was also wonderful! They were very conscientious about avoiding spicy ingredients because of my digestive issues. Thank you both, again! I am a fairly quiet person and you both made me feel at ease right away. It's a beautiful home located close to Cave City and I recommend it 100%. More importantly, I recommend Tony and Sharon for their outstanding hospitality.

Amazing Experience

Sharon and Tony were incredibly welcoming to my girlfriend and I from the moment we arrived. We loved hearing the stories behind everything in the home—every item seemed to have its own little piece of history. The house itself was beautiful, and we had such a great time hanging out with Sharon and Tony in the game room, playing pinball and Pigs.I'm so glad we stumbled upon their bed and breakfast on our way to Nashville. If we head back that way, we're definitely coming back—and bringing another couple along with us!

Wonderful experience beginning to end!!

Unfortunately, we were only able to stay one night at this B&B. We truly felt so welcomed and cared for-we would have loved another couple of days! Of course, none of our clothes would have fit by then! The food!! Absolutely delicious-soup to nuts! Tony and Sharon really put their hearts into every detail-we felt like royalty the whole time. In addition, we had great conversation and a lot of laughs! Thanks for the highlight of our 10 day vacation! ❤️

Much More Than An Ordinary B&B

Sharon and Tony welcomed my wife and me into their home as though we were long-lost friends. We enjoyed everything about our stay: the comfortable bed, spacious porch overlooking the scenic hillsides (gorgeous in the fall), delightful conversations and, of course, the delicious breakfast with homemade jams, jellies and syrups. If you stay there, sign up for the optional dinners. We had homemade pizza one night and grilled steaks the other, and both were great — and generous enough to enjoy leftovers as lunches the following days.

Great B&B

My best friend and I have stayed in multiple B&Bs and never have we been welcomed in this way. They responded to every communication. The food was catered to our likes but we were also given the chance to try other homemade dishes. Ask for French toast! We loved it here. It was also convenient to Mammoth Cave.

Just Amazing and so friendly

Sharon and Tony are super hosts, very attentive and caring about their guests at the Reed-Dossey BnB. The room/accommodations were pristine with everything you could need. Excellent bath facilities, super Wi-Fi, and extras with game room and gorgeous view of the valley. The breakfast is amazing, and we had a candlelight dinner added in for our first night - delizioso! Just a short distance from the Mammoth Cave Park, and perfect for anyone's stay in the area. You will not be disappointed.

Mammoth Anniversary Trip

Sharon & Tony welcomed us into their beautiful home with warmth and friendliness. They spoiled us during our entire three day stay with amazing breakfasts and dinners. We highly recommend having dinner there. We enjoyed two dinners, pizza and rib eyes, both were excellent. We retired into the Game Room at night where Sharon & Tony taught us a few new games and had fun on their pinball machine. They were wonderful hosts and chefs!
