Our trip here was very memorable. Home is very conveniently located to access Mammoth and in a very peaceful setting. We enjoyed hanging out in the back patio area and made good use of the fire pit. Host was very responsive and made our stay as easy as it could be. Would definitely recommend staying here if you’re going to be in the area.

If you plan to use a place as a home base for mammoth cave, I couldn’t imagine one better. 10 minute drive to the visitor center and less than ten minutes to Cave City. Host was very responsive to my minor questions and the house itself and the property were very clean.

We had the absolute best stay at this property. It was clean and comfortable. We really enjoyed that it had two King size beds which made it great for a couples weekend. We also loved how close it was to all of the attractions near Mammoth Cave, not to mention the secluded feel. The hosts were wonderful to work with. If you find yourself in this area I would highly recommend staying here.

PERFECT location for Mammoth Cave National Park. If you travel to the national parks, you know it can be a challenge to stay in close proximity to the main entrance, and sometimes there is even some distance to travel after entering. You are within minutes of the entrance, making this house the ideal location. In addition to proximity to the park, the home is fresh, new, modern, with tasteful decorations, and is situated beside a verdant pasture with a lovely forest to the back. We observed fireflies and bunnies from the deck while dining. The bedrooms are beyond comfy, cozy with very nice European-style linens. So relaxing after a long day hiking or touring the caves. I am BEYOND HAPPY we chose this particular vacation home for our stay. We absolutely adored this house and hated to leave! I looked at too many choices to count when selecting a place to stay for our trip, and I have no doubt I made the right choice for my family.

We came for the weekend to visit the National Park - access to the house was easy and it's central location was phenomenal. One direction was the National Park (6 min.) the other direction heads to Cave City (10 min.) with a small, but diverse downtown. Pizza, local restaurants, coffee shop, and a book store. On the way in, you'll find lots of cute shops to find a souvenir. The house itself was clean, minimal and very comfortable. The rooms/bathrooms had lots of space with the right amenities - like shampoo, soaps, towels and spare hair dryer. The kitchen was switched with everything to cook in, if desired.Thanks again for an awesome stay, would love to come back in the future!
