About this property

Cozy house close to Mammoth Cave and Bowling Green

This is a cozy farmhouse located in Oakland, KY on a 150+ acre farm. It is only two minutes from I-65 south to Bowling Green/Nashville, five minutes from 1-65 north to Louisville/Lexington, 10 minutes from the Corvette Museum, and 20 minutes from Mammoth Cave National Park, Nolin Lake, Beech Bend Raceway, and Western Kentucky University. It is centrally located between Nashville, TN and Louisville, KY. We look forward to hosting travelers from a variety of backgrounds and interests!

Space
Extra beds (besides the king size bed): There is a queen size pull-out sleeper sofa with a new cool gel memory foam mattress. We also have a 22 inch raised queen size air mattress with a built in electric pump. We have a game and movie rack with a wide selection of favorites. We also offer several kitchen gadgets including crock pots, George Foreman grill, double panini maker, stand-up mixer, pots, pans, baking sheets, etc. Guests will also find the SOKY Magazine, which offers a monthly calendar for all the daily/nightly events in Bowling Green and surrounding cities. There is also a high school regulation-size basketball court and a pond (sorry - no swimming or fishing).

Our most favorite attractions on the farm are the cows. They are very friendly and LOVE bread for treats. Guests are more than welcome to feed and pet them.

Guest access
We hope guests will enjoy the entire farm - from the basketball court to walking the airplane landing strip to the pond.

Guest interaction
We live in a separate home in front of the farmhouse and will be available at almost anytime.

Other things to note
While we do not have cable TV, we do have an antenna which provides approximately 15-20 channels along with a DVD player and wide selection of movies. The house is divided into two sides with each side having an open floor plan. The kitchen leads into the living room and the bathroom leads into the bedroom. The toilet is hidden from view of the bedroom by a half wall and curtained area.

Upon departure, guests are asked to start the dishwasher. We take care of the rest!

We've stayed here for several years while attending events at the Beach Bend raceway park and will for several more. Always clean and tidy. Plenty of room for parking trucks and trailers and our classic cars. Very quiet and peaceful just a few minutes from everything. Jonathan always makes it a priority to talk to us and makes sure we're all good.

We had a wonderful stay at this cozy farmhouse! The home was peaceful, comfortable, and surrounded by beautiful cornfields and cows. We especially loved the quiet evenings and seeing so many stars at night. The location felt relaxing and private, while still being close to many local attractions. A perfect place to slow down, unwind, and enjoy the countryside. We would happily stay here again!

Our stay at the cozy farmhouse was wonderful. It was clean and roomy. There was plenty of space for our 2 children, dog, and ourselves. We spent time playing basketball, watching the sunrise, watching the cows, dancing and cooking. It was a great family trip. Thank you opening your home to us.Sam

Very cute little house on a lovely farm. Our kids loved the cows! It had what we needed and is convenient to Bowling Green (15 mins) and Mammoth Cave (15 mins to the park, 30 to the visitors center). The bathroom set up is a bit challenging if you have folks needing lots of privacy, but we were ok with it and had a great time.

We stayed at the cozy house for 3 nights, and it was just that. What a wonderful place to stay. So comfortable and relaxing and clean. Just perfect for my husband and I and our small dog. She got to meet a cow for the first time - she wasn’t sure what those big things were! The location is just far enough from town for peace and quiet, yet close enough to many places. We visited the Corvette Museum and the Lost Cave Park. The trails at the park were beautiful. We had a wonderful stay and look forward to a return in the future.

Property was easy ro find. Plenty of parking on asphalt driveway. The farmhouse was so spacious! It felt like home we were very comfortable! Jonathan was kind, easy to communicate with, and responded immediately. We were 20 minutes from Mammoth cave. We were about 15 minutes from Lost River and Bowling Green. We loved eating at Pub by Nova. We would stay here again!

I had a great stay here. The location was peaceful and convenient--being within a 20 minute drive to a plethora of restaurants and attractions. Being able to stay on a farm is what initially inticed me, but for so many other reasons, I'm glad I chose to stay here. You can tell how much time, effort, and care the host has put into this property and making sure the guest's stay is enjoyable.

About the host

Hosted by Jonathan Carrier

Host profile image
Hello, VRBO'ers! I am from a sweet, small town and currently live in my great-grandparents' 100 year old farm house. I am a rental property manager and an aspiring songwriter. I started using private vacation rentals two years ago when we traveled to Denver. Our experience was so wonderful that, when we moved from the "little house" at the back of the farm to where I am now, I knew I wanted to open a rental and share our love for the farm life. I spent the better part of the spring arranging the space and had family members of our friends who were traveling to do some trial stays. They LOVED it just as much as we did when we were living there and knew it was time to start welcoming traveling guests.

It is so exciting to meet new people from all different backgrounds who are traveling for a variety of reasons!

Why they chose this property

We provide a cozy space on a 150+ acre farm with lots of room to wander and play. The sunrises and sunsets here are second to none. We live at the front of the farm so we are always available. Need a toothbrush? We've got you covered. How about a cup of sugar? We've got that, too. We truly want to make your stay as wonderful as possible.
