Great spot, very clean

We had a great stay at the place. It was very clean and the host is responsive. The location is close to Mammoth Cave. Beware walking your dog around the property. There’s a wedding venue behind that’s private property and monitored. I recommend taking dogs the Turnpoint Sink loop just down the street heading toward the park. It’s a nice half mile walk good for doggies.

What a great location and proximity to Mammoth cave. I was able to stay with family at this excellent property and we had a great time. My son especially loved the playhouse. Can’t wait to stay again sometime.

Close to the park

We enjoyed our stay overall. There’s not many options to get this close to the park without being in the park. The location gives a rural feel, which is nice. Sitting on the front porch, you can’t really see the neighbors, just the field across the street, which is nice. The house is a renovated single-wide trailer but it feels spacious inside with open kitchen and living room and good-sized bedrooms. It was clean. I only downgraded the overall and clean ratings because of the bug issue. There was an ant problem in the kitchen; this was fixed by keeping all food on the kitchen table instead of on the counter. There was a ladybug problem in the master bath. Thankfully, they’re just ladybugs! FYI - the county it is in is a dry county - no alcohol sold in restaurants or stores. So if that affects you, might bring some from home or a different county. The local grocery store otherwise had everything we needed and was reasonably priced.

Great place to land

Very nice property that allowed our family (3 teens) to spread out and find separate places at the end of each day's adventures. The kids loved the games and mom & dad loved the peace and quiet. Definitely recommend for a family!

Cute Place Near Mammoth Cave

Barely off the beaten path, this was a cute and functional place for my nephew and I stay where we had lots of space together yet room enough apart. You cannot beat the views of this part of Kentucky and we were just a tiny bit away from most of the caves we visited. Super clean and had a great place for me to set up my office.

Would highly recommend.

Clean, spacious, supplies were plentiful and beyond expectations. The kids loved the yard. Used the fire pit each night. Answered all questions I had before our trip with patience and friendliness. If and when we can return, I will definitely choose this over any motel, cabin or condo. Very enjoyable.

Wonderful spot at the edge of Mammoth Cave NP!

Loved my stay here. Communication was easy, great recommendations for the area, in the welcome binder, and in the guest book. Easy drive to the natl park and other nearby hiking/swimming spots. The dog also had a MASSIVE yard to run around when he wasn't exhausted from swimming at Hoachin's(sp?) Ferry or hiking the grand loop encircling mammoth cave np. I would stay here again in a heartbeat. Everything in this area is about 15-20 minutes away no matter how you shake it, so stay here and be near the park and nature and the farmland and the neighbor's horses and the QUIET! Highly recommend

Mammoth Cave Holiday Weekend

My family and I had a wonderful experience! We wanted to spend the weekend exploring Mammoth Cave National Park and this house was located right by the entrance to the park. The house is tucked away by a farm and it made for a peaceful trip. The inside was clean and exactly what we expected, maybe even better! My Dad is 6'7 and owner was nice enough to measure the height of the ceiling for us. It was perfect and extremely comfortable for him (besides hitting his head on one doorway which was due just his own lack of attention). Overall it was great and we would recommend to anyone!

Family Vacation Weekend

We chose to stay at this property compared to getting a hotel since we had other family going with us on our vacation. The home was clean upon arrival. There are some quirks, such as the hot and cold is backwards on most of the sinks and an outlet in the kitchen is sticking out from the wall. The amenities provided met all of our needs. Just note that the nearby grocery store closes early. I had tried to reach out to the property owners with questions originally through the Vrbo app, but was not getting responses. However, once I received contact info from Evolve Travel and sent an email, they responded almost immediately. It was hot outside, so we did not spend much time outdoors at the fire pit and our son only played in the playhouse for a bit (watch out for wasps). There was plenty of room overall for the 5 of us to have space, and our 2 year old to run around. The AC worked great for the 90+ degree days.

Quirky

This is a quirky place--e.g., the hot and cold water seem to be reversed in half the house--but it was clean, and there were lots of thoughtful touches like a brand new sponge in the kitchen and fresh bars of soap (still in the box!) in the bathrooms. The host was super communicative and helpful. The WIFI is really touch and go--click a link; wait a few minutes; hope for the best--and we had no cell service (Cricket/AT&T) so we couldn't just use that; in its current state, WIFI probably shouldn't be listed as an amenity. That said, the host let me use the WIFI at her house (not on the property) for a meeting, which was above and beyond. I think this home is ideally located if you plan to spend most of your time in the park. Cave City and Park City are about a 20 minute drive away, and that's where the majority of the attractions and restaurants seem to be.
