The property was so clean, and plenty of room for our family of four. We loved the fire pit out back and enjoyed eating dinner on the back patio. The location was fantastic for our visit to the National Park.

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.

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 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!
