The Award Winning Historic 1893 Reed - Dossey House Bed & Breakfast

Experience the charm of the Historic 1893 Reed-Dossey House Bed & Breakfast, located atop a hill with picturesque views of Brownsville. In August of 2023, she was awarded 2nd place in the Specialty Lodging & Bed & Breakfast category In Kentucky Living Magazines 2023 Best In Kentucky contest. In December of 2023, she won 1st place in the Edmonson County Most Merry and Bright Christmas decorated house contest. This cozy B&B is conveniently situated just 5 miles from Mammoth Cave National Park, 10 miles from Nolin Lake State Park, and 25 miles from the Corvette Museum in Bowling Green. As our exclusive guests, you will have the entire property to yourself, including the stunning bedroom with 12-foot ceilings and an attached private bathroom featuring a jetted bathtub and shower.

Take your pick from the two beautiful porches to unwind during your stay, or head to the game room with board and arcade games for some indoor entertainment. Please note that the maximum stay is 3 nights, and we only accept bookings from the guest who will be staying on the premises. The minimum age limit for adult renters is 25 years, and we do not allow children or any additional guests.

A highlight of our B&B is the made-to-order gourmet breakfast, which is included in the room rate and served in the elegant dining room. We use only the freshest ingredients to prepare your breakfast of choice, whether it's scrambled or fried eggs, bacon, ham, or sausage, French toast made with specialty breads, toast, mixed fruits, juice, coffee, or tea.

In addition to the dining and bedroom areas, guests have access to all lower-level rooms, including the Parlor, Game Room, and Sunroom, as well as both outdoor porches. Please note that the kitchen is off-limits during meal preparation, and the host's bathroom is not available for use.

Last but not least, please be aware that we have a friendly cat named Katie who roams the premises but is never allowed in the guest room.

Best place ever

I cannot say enough about this bed and breakfast. Sharon and Tony were THE BEST hosts. The house is so beautiful. The first morning we were up bright and early for a tour at Mammoth Cave. Both were up and breakfast was ready at 7 a.m. The second night we had them cook us dinner ~ Ribeye - delicious. Sharon even baked us a special dessert as we were celebrating our 30th. Was great to sit down and chat with them both after dinner. Thank you to you both. We will definitely be visiting again. Can't recommend enough, that if you're in this area, you must stay here.

Absolute perfection in a B&B!

You can read all the reviews and it still won't come close to capturing the warmth and hospitality of Tony and Sharon. If I could go higher than 5 stars, I would. Literally from the moment we drove up, they were welcoming - in the way family comes out to greet you. The house is gorgeous, and they've made it a home that everyone instantly feels comfortable in. We did order a dinner - and the pizza was amazing, handmade with homegrown herbs *chef's kiss*. The bedroom is lovingly made up, and they've thought of everything you could possibly want or need. Lots of added thoughtful touches that separate this place from any other. Breakfast was superb! So many choices of their homemade award-winning jams and jellies! Each one better than the next! We were stuffed! Tony and Sharon not only love their home, it's evident that they love being hosts and genuinely care that you are more than comfortable. If you could make a wishlist of everything you've ever loved about any B&B - this is it all in one place. This was so much more than a play to stay for the night -- it absolutely was an added event to our little mini-vacation. You've got choices on where to stay in the Mammoth Cave area, but you will never ever regret staying at The Reed-Dossey House. We can't wait to go back!

Best Bed and Breakfast

It was just what I needed - quiet beautiful charming - God’s country. Sharon and Tony (owners) went above and beyond to make sure my every need was met - true southern hospitality. They opened up their home to me and I felt like family. My room was quaint and had every amenity possible. The breakfast was delish and with so much to choose from - more than I could eat. I will definitely recommend this place to any and every one. I will be back for another stay.

Perfection!

The home, the owners, the environment, EVERYTHING was truly a perfect getaway for me! What a relaxing and beautiful weekend! The Reed-Dossey House is historic yet immaculate, truly a wonderful experience! I feel like I have new-found friends in Tony and Sharon. They definitely have a gift for hospitality: food was decadent, the room was top of the line, and tucked into every feature, I found beautiful cut flowers from their garden or stunning art with a story to add to the peaceful atmosphere of their home. Definitely making this a regular getaway!!
