Kitchen had alot of gadgets, dishes, spices and things that we normally dont see enough of in other properties. The hot tub was very nice, just an odd smell and seemed salty, but that couldve been chemicals.

This was a great place to stay witv plenty of room for four adults. Highlights of the property for was that it was quiet, spacious and well appointed. The downside is that is a bit remote so there is a lot of driving involved to get to attractions or dinner. On the plus side, it has a fully equipped kitchen, so making our own meals was a breeze. Our main reason for visiting the area was to see Mammoth Cave which made the location great for us as it is only a 30 minute drive away.

We were in town for a family reunion. The location was perfect as it was only a couple of miles from our family and the place we held our reunion. Everything was clean and we had what was needed for our stay.We did not have the opportunity to you use the fire pit during our stay unfortunately but would have been a nice bonus. Loved the porch. Our only issue was that we had seven adults and the BR upstairs does not have a door that can be closed...it's more like a loft so you could hear everything that was going on so it made it difficult to sleep until the whole house was sleeping! Only a couple of nights however so it was fine overall. Would stay again.

Great experience

The house is located in the town of Bee Spring, which is maybe a 15-20 minute drive from Mammoth Caves. It’s off one of the main roads in the town, making it very convenient to get anywhere you need to go. The area was nice and we felt safe. The house is very roomy and nicely decorated. It was clean and well-stocked. We loved enjoying time on the huge front porch!

Fantastic stay.

The house was well equipped with everything we needed for 4 adults and 5 kids. Plenty of towels, kitchen supplies/utensils, comfortable furniture. Location was a short drive to Mammoth Cave, and the hot tub was a bonus. Add in that the house is pet friendly, and we couldn’t have asked for me. Would definitely stay here again.
