About this property

Family Friendly! 2-Car Garage. 3 mi to I-65. Fire pit. Ping Pong. Games!

At Horsepower Hangout of Kentucky, you will have loads of fun and experience southern hospitality at it's finest, in a relaxing, peaceful, spacious, safe, family-friendly location. The home sits on 1.3 acres with 30 mature trees. It's a great place to sit by the fire pit, relax in a hammock, and unwind on the front-porch swings. Close to local attractions like The National Corvette Museum (12 miles away), Mammoth Cave National Park (38 miles away), and Beech Bend Raceway (17 miles away)! The two-car garage is a safe-haven for your hot rods and motorcycles. Enjoy a full kitchen and a recreation room for hours of entertainment! Great for traveling families, couples, and groups.

Our mission and vision at “Horsepower Hangout of Kentucky” include “enjoying life” by eating, drinking, gathering with family/friends, and working with excellence. Life is short, so our mission is to enjoy our blessings every day and our vision is to share them with others (and that includes you)!

Throughout the home and property, you will experience a horse theme upstairs and a Corvette/Hot Rod theme downstairs. We chose our name and logo by combining our state’s equine industry (horseshoe) with the modern-day use of the term “horsepower” used by car and motorcycle enthusiasts (checkered flags).

*FYI, the home has steps for entry and exit; therefore, it is not wheelchair accessible. We apologize if this is a hindrance to your ability to book this location.

*FYI, depending on the size of guests who stay, and their preferred sleeping arrangements, if the maximum number of occupants (8) are residing in the home, one or two guests may need to sleep on either the living room couch or a queen-size air mattress. Currently, we have 3 private bedrooms with:
1 Full-sized bed
1 Queen-sized bed
1 King-sized bed
…and one living room with:
Couch
1 Queen-sized air mattress
1 comfortable twin rollaway bed

Happy Weekend Reunion

I have stayed at several airbnb and vrbo and this one was the best. The house was clean and in excellent condition. Bathrooms were well supplied. The owner communicated several times to make sure we were satisfied. The neighborhood was very nice and it was close to the main shopping areas. The beautiful front porch was so peaceful to sit and relax. The decor was perfect and you felt like a welcome guest. Everything was labeled and easy to find. I would give this experience an A.

Pick this one! From Lake Tahoe to Vermont, it’s the best VRBO we’ve ever stayed in! This place and this host deserves 10 stars!The home is immaculate. Beds are super comfortable. Decor creates a very cozy, welcoming place. After an 11 hour drive from Dallas, we arrived with lights on, mini “fireplace” lit, calming music playing throughout the house, and a personalized welcome board on the stunning front porch. Crista has thought of it all for making your stay easy and comfortable. Did you forget shaving cream, nail file, or a hair tie? She’s got you covered. Would you like slippers for the house, an eye mask or sound machine for comfort? She’s got you covered. Do you need a baby bib, toddler playroom or teen entertainment? Covered. Do you need a kitchen for baking cookies and making Christmas dinner? Covered. Crista is intentional about every single detail throughout the entire home and has put so much effort into ensuring a wonderful stay! And the Horsepower Hangout theme is so fun!Our family is very grateful for a wonderful Christmas at this wonderful place!

Welcoming country home close to city

This was the best VRBO experience we've had. The owners definitely go the extra mile in making the home welcoming. The kids loved the basement game room and my husband and I really enjoyed the beautiful, large front porch. The fire pit was great too, there's even smores sticks provided in the barn. We would definitely recommend this home!

Our stay at Horsepower Hideaway was awesome!

We had a blast after our days exploring playing foosball, ping pong , and basketball. Definitely fun for everyone! Highly recommended!!!

Wonderful stay in a great location!

Absolutely loved our week-long stay. The house is so comfortable and has everything you could possibly need (I can’t believe you provided shower caps - absolute lifesaver!!) Crista is a brilliant host - excellent communication and you can tell how much love, care, and attention she has put into this home. The location is perfect - just a short drive from Mammoth Cave and Nashville, and all the amenities to enjoy a relaxing evening. We absolutely loved the fire-pit, and the kids loved all the board games and karaoke - this place has everything you need, and then some. Thank you for a wonderful spring break - we’d happily recommend this place to family and friends, and wouldn’t hesitate to stay here again. 5 stars, across the board!!

The house was very well set up. Everything was labeled very clearly and everything seemed to be very clean. The kids really enjoyed all the games that were offered and playing in the basement a lot. The outdoor space was nice too, but lots of bugs in the evening. It was neat to see a horse next door and some chickens and a donkey. This host has provided a lot of little extras to make the space very welcoming. Our only complaint was the lack of accuracy in the listing for spaces offered which I believe has been changed already at our feedback. It has 3 small bedrooms, one with an ensuite bathroom and a second bathroom in the hall. There is a two person bed in each room and one rollaway twin offered if needed. There is also an air mattress available but not much space to put it other than the entire living room. Comfortable bedding, etc, but very firm beds. It was very clean, but being near woods we saw several bugs that got in - spider on the bed, beetle in living room, a ladybug, and a couple millipedes and spiders in the basement. It is obviously very clean and bug free overall though.
