The place was just as advertised, everything was clean and up kept well including the landscaping and road to the cabin. The owner was very communicative, gave all of the necessary instructions before we arrived and even checked in on us to make sure we had everything that we needed. Highly recommend!
Our stay was amazing. This cabin was everything advertised and more. The history of the property was an extra fact that we learned while there and made our stay much more adventurous. I would recommend this place to anyone looking for a little solitude and relaxation. We will return, soon, now that we know this place is here.
We had an amazing stay at this adorable historic cabin in Berea, KY! The cabin was full of charm and character, and the location couldn't have been more perfect for exploring all that Kentucky has to offer. From kayaking through a flooded, abandoned mine to exploring the vast Mammoth Caves and visiting the Ark Encounter, our days were packed with adventure.John was a fantastic host—quick to respond and full of great local recommendations that made our trip even better. My family and I truly felt at home and already can’t wait to come back for another stay!
The cozy cabin deserves an A. The directions provided made it easy to find and the pictures on the listing are completely accurate. The cabin is spotlessly clean and the beds were the best ever. (Wish I had this mattress at home!). We loved the nicely appointed decor. There was a puzzle provided which helped us pass a quiet evening. We were about 7 minutes from hiking at The Pinnacles which was challenging and fun. And a 15 minute drive got us to Berea which is a delightful town. We’d love to return to this cozy cabin. So thankful we discovered this home.

Nestled in the mountain on secluded property, it was peaceful and quiet. The cabin itself is impeccably clean and has just what you would need for a quiet get away. Yet this place was short drives to many destinations. We had a great family getaway with many memories made!
Absolutely wonderful stay, gorgeous grounds and cabin. Would absolutely stay again. Cabin is stocked with everything you could need during your stay. Communication with host was top notch. Sad to leave!
A perfect get away nestled in the woods. We saw the beautiful vistas only footsteps away from the cabin. A convenient drive to town and hiking trails.
Woth coming back to.
We loved our short stay at the cabin. Beautifully decorated in a secluded, picturesque location. The host was great, directions were clear, and we were close to Berea while still enjoying privacy. Only wish we could’ve stayed longer!
Beautiful cabin with very interesting history. We loved walking over the grounds and reading about the connection with Berea College.
Very clean, a comfortable mattress, and everything you need in the kitchen.
John was quick to respond and very helpful with questions. Highly recommend!
We loved the cabin everything was as pictured description was accurate and the cabin was clean well furnished really nice the property manager was super helpful would definitely recommend this cabin and would book again if we are in the area
Wonderful Experience. I rented this place for my wife’s birthday and could not have been more satisfied. The cabin was spotless, comfortable beds, and amazing views with peace and quiet. The host checked in to see if everything was fine and if we needed anything. Secluded away in the woods, but close enough to restaurants and shopping. Only problem with this place is that we couldn’t stay longer. Definitely will return and would recommend to others.
This was my second trip here, and the host was accommodating when I asked if I could extend my stay another night. I called VRBO support and they worked with the host to extend my stay. I am so appreciative! Wonderful cabin in an amazing location, I will stay here again, and again!
Long weekend in the Berra area for some hiking at the pinnacles and to explore the town - loved the cabin - very peaceful and quiet - kitchen was very well stocked - great place to relax - would highly recommend and would stay there again if we are in the area.
We had a need for a quick stay in the area and found the Cozy Cabin. Owner was great with responses and all the follow-up. Could not have asked for a better experience as well as a cozy place to stay.
All enjoyed the nautral and human history of the property and the thoughtful renovation. A comfortable home setting for a group of Berea College grads.
