Clean, well-kept, comfortable, and well-managed hideaway. Beautiful surroundings. The guidelines for check in and check out were easy to follow. Great escape for a home away from home while investigating Mammoth Cave.

The cabin was beautiful and we really enjoyed the hot tub and jacuzzi tub each night. We made some good memories there. It was so quiet and far from the everything. I stayed on the front porch swing most days and nights. So relaxing! Perfect place to unwind and reconnect. We went horseback riding at JJ stables right down the road. They were amazing. We also visited mammoth cave, lost river cave, and Nashville. Even though it’s remote and most things took a while to get to, it was great! The roads are beautiful so I didn’t mind the distance going places. I highly recommend this place!

Great Cabin but not a cozi cabin, no cleaning supplies such as mop,toilet cleaners, no oven mits. Very dirty stove and oven. The cabin is great it lacks the little things that make you feel at home.

Comfy Cabin

We wanted a comfy place to stay while we visited the longest cave, Mammoth Cave. This cabin was a perfect place to chill for this busy family. If youre looking for outdoor adventures and doing “camping things” without camping, this cabin is perfect.

Nice getaway

Spacious, clean, and close to everything we wanted to see. Frank knows the area well and helped us get to everything we wanted to see and do. We enjoyed the hot tub, disc golf (even as beginners), and s'mores over the fire. Thanks for a great stay.

Family Vacation to visit mammoth caves

We had a good experience staying at the cabin. The disc golf course on property was a highlight for us and our kids. Host was available and responsive.

Great family cabin!

My family of 4 stayed here for spring break and really enjoyed the cabin & hot tub! It's nice, clean and spacious. The frisbee golf course on the property was a bonus too! It's a 30 minute drive to most places but the cabin is well equipped with full fridge, oven, microwave, toaster oven & Charcoal grill to serve up nice meals.

Family Thanksgiving

Beautiful property, well-kept on a disc golf course. Secluded but with ready access to town. Our family had a great time and the owners were very easy to communicate with and informative. Would definitely book here again!

Secluded Kentucky House

We had a wonderful time at this rural home. Though we were first taken back by the appearance of the house, as oppossed to the pictures on VRBO. The house is much older than pictures show; bushes in front of house are very tall, hiding some of house. The host was super friendly and helpful. The 18 hole disc golf course on the property was a definite plus for our teenage boys! Lovely place to stay.

Wish it was longer!!

We loved staying at this quiet, clean, relaxing cabin! Our 3 kids stayed downstairs and it was a great space for them. We loved our bedroom upstairs with a jacuzzi tub. We used the Green River ferry to get to the Mammoth Cave tour. We loved the hiking near the cabin at Nolin Lakes Park. The cabin was a great space for our family of 5 who loves quiet, natural places.

Relaxing getaway

My family of four loved that we were in the woods surrounded by a disc golf course. We enjoyed the beautiful views, the hot tub, and having multiple floors when we wanted some alone time to relax. The kids had a blast in the downstairs. The cabin was clean, the kitchen well stocked and Frank was helpful and informative at check in. We knew it was going to be a drive to go anywhere, but the atmosphere was worth it to us! We enjoyed the fall scenic drives to Mammoth Cave and our other destinations.

Very remote with lots of space

If you are looking to ‘get away’ this is the place for you. This is exactly what we were after. Very remote and close to mammoth cave. The green river ferry was as exciting as it was convenient. Our trip was cut short due to severe weather; the cabin lost power and so did thousands of other people and Mammoth Cave closed. The owner was helpful but not much could be done.

Perfect location next to mammoth cave!

My wife and I wanted a weekend away to break up our winter and this was perfect for us! It was pretty far away from any city and even most small towns, which is exactly what we wanted. We're also big into sight-seeing in national parks and mammoth cave was next on our list. The cabin was very clean and had everything we needed, in fact it was partially stocked with spices, and even coffee and coffee filters(it should be noted the coffee maker is a kuerig, so bring your K-cups), however these may have been left behind by others that have stayed. The hot tub was wonderful and a must for after some of the hiking we did inside of the park! This is probably about as close to the park as you can stay without actually renting lodging through mammoth cave visitor center. Frank was friendly and informative about the area when we arrived and met with him. Thank you very much for the amazing stay and helping us mark off another notch on our national parks list!

Secluded Oasis-ish

This property is great to getaway from everything and enjoy some peace in nature. The only things keeping it from being an actual oasis are the lack of a comfortable king size bed in the master (the queen bed/mattress is not comfortable at all), the rest of the main floor furniture has seen better days, and the lack of furniture in places you expect it (no coffee table or table lamp in living room next to the chairs, no bedside table on the right side of the master bed, no chair or additional future for luggage/clothes in the master). There is no toilet in the master, just a jacuzzi tub (not really that useful without a sink and toilet). There is a hot tub on the deck but it is older and has seen better days. Same for the foosball table. The pictures in the profile are obviously from many years ago as the cabin has not been updated and appears to be “maintained” at status quo without any significant investment in repairs. Also there is mold growing on the second floor hallway’s wood ceiling that will need to be remediated or could cause significant health issues if left untreated. However, the water pressure and hot water were a saving grace and much appreciated. As was the disc golf course on property, which we enjoyed (and cursed) immensely! The property owner Frank was super nice and willing to answer any questions we had. It was about 45 minutes to Mammoth Came State Park due to the ferry being closed which is becoming a common occurrence so expect the long drive.

I’m a little late here leaving a review but had a wonderful stay here. We had our grandkids with us and couldn’t have asked for a better place. The property owner was so accommodating and even gave a lesson on disc golf. The kids loved staying downstairs and played games in the evening and like the bunk bed and pullout couch plenty of room for their own space. We had a great stay.
