Our stay was amazing! Crystal was super responsive at any time! The animals loved the attention! Waking up at 7 in the morning to the horses pretty much at the back door waiting for you was awesome! Duke and Sally the dogs were so sweet and hung out with us whenever we were there. We will definitely return with our kids. This was our anniversary/husbands birthday stay! I will also recommend this to any of my family and friends who are coming to cave city as well!

Farm stead fancy free

Check was very simple and easy and we were able to get in early. The kitchen didn’t have any baking sheet and there were a few broken utensils. Leaving open condiments is a little gross to me, though some people may like this. The biggest issues was no tv in the living area. The projector can not be used until it’s completely dark. Also to get sound you have to connect to the blue tooth speaker provided and that was a little glitchy. It is fairly clean, very dusty though. The games in the coffee table are completely trashed and just need cleaned out. There is not outdoor play area as stated in listing. The animals were amazing and Tyler, the farm manager let the kids helpWith farm chores and feed the animals every morning and evening we were there.

Cozy Farmhouse as described

We had a total of 2 adults and 4 teenage girls and this was more than comfortable to accommodate our group. Upon arrival, everything was clean and the kitchen and bathroom were well stocked which was VERY nice as we did not have to travel with much essentials. There were even extra board games, a cornhole set and charcoal for the grill while staying. Wifi was strong and was able to connect to all of our devices at a time (did I mention there were 4 teens ) We utilized the firepit for a couple nights to roast smores and had some animal visitors to welcome us. We attended a couple cave tours, visited the zoo and went zip lining. Everything was within a half hour travel which was nice. Our host, Crystal, was very prompt with communication as well on the app. 5 stars overall for the stay.

Best Place Ever!

The house is bigger than it looks, very comfortable and the animals are close by and so peaceful and fun to watch! Great low traffic road for long walks. If you need a rest, this is the best place you could pick to get away. And if you’re looking for fun, this is an active, working farm where everyone is friendly and welcoming, including the animals! Very kind and responsive owner if you have questions. I got a chance to help out with the sheep in the rain and ended up covered in mud and having a fantastic time - can’t recommend staying here enough!!

Perfect getaway

My kids loved the horses! My daughter sat and talked to them for most of an afternoon. The house held our family of 6 easily, and was on a nice quiet street. (Other than the train, but I love a train) Recommend the playground near Hidden River Cave if you have young ones. (Cave was flooded or I’d likely have a recommendation for it too) Other favorites from the area were “Shake my Burger” (I think it’s now Sweet Cheeks catering, but Google had it by Shake My Burger) and Kentucky Down Under where got to spend a morning petting kangaroos and emus. Loved the trip, and the kids would go back tomorrow if they could! Thank you for sharing your home and property with us!

Great Location for a Visit to Mammoth Cave

We loved our stay and visit to Mammoth Cave. The animals were awesome, and our youngest son loved visiting with the horses each day. The train at night took awhile to get used to, but overall, we had a great time.

Family Getaway!

My husband, myself and our two girls (3&4) stayed here for a little family getaway. It was exactly what we were looking for! A slice of country. We loved having the horses hang out with us all day, feeding them and relaxing by the fire. Crystal the owner was so gracious, and even sent us flowers for our 8 year anniversary! Highly recommend!

Excellent Small Farmhouse Stay

We loved all the homey personal touches in the house and on the property. Thanks for such a cozy stay! Making friends with the horses was such a cool bonus. A wonderful secluded location for sunset strolls. As suggested by others, use the provided fans as it gets quite hot at night with the primary AC blower unit being in the livingroom.

Girls trip

We rented the house as a group of 4 women for a short girls trip and had an amazing time! The location is beautiful and the house is great for the price. The only things we didn’t love was that there is no central AC so there is a single AC unit cooling the whole house and on the first night it was almost too hot to sleep. We also noticed there were plenty of dishes and utensils but lacked baking trays any bigger than what you’d use in a toaster oven so we did end up having to run out to get disposable trays to make frozen pizza. Other than that our stay was great, it’s super close to some really fun activities. We went to the outback zoo just down the road, the ravens cross escape room and Karst beach all of which we greatly enjoyed!
