If I could rate this property more stars, I would! Every detail was thoughtfully and tastefully executed. The setting was private and quiet. The outside of the house was well lit with automatic lights which was nice to come home to at night. Immaculately clean. Luxurious linens. The porch was such a great, comfortable space to relax. The location was central to everything we planned. We would definitely recommend this property!

Relaxing journey

We had a great time relaxing, cooking, and spelunking in Kentucky. The cabin was clean, with beautiful views, and comfortable with plenty of amenities. The neighborhood cave was closed but we had many adventures at Mammoth!

They thought of everything….

Our stay was wonderful! The owner seemed to have thought of everything to make for a perfect stay. We especially loved the porch. I wish we would’ve used the grill area which was nicely laid out for family to spend time together.

Quick stay at the lake

We stayed at Whipsaw while visiting Mammoth Cave (part of our trip to Nashville area). The cottage was clean, comfortable, peaceful (with the exception of the heavy thunderstorms that rolled thru our first night). Nice place to stay…just make sure you have some groceries, because it’s a few miles back to Brownsville

Cabin Oasis

We loved this property! It was gorgeous, with a well stocked kitchen. The cabin and furnishings were comfy. The decor was fantastic and we felt at home. We wnjoyed meals on the front porch and watching deer around the house. It was convenient to Mammoth Cave National Pork, Hidden River Cave in Horse Cave. The kitchen was well stocked for folks that like to cook. We would stay here again!

Beautiful Home

My only complaint about our stay, the directions, given to us by the owner and on GPS tell you to turn on Hilltop, unless you want your vehicle tore up go straight and GPS will take you around that road. We had a hard time getting up and down that road in our 4-wheel drive truck. If we would have come in our car, we would not have made it. The property, home, furnishings were absolutely beautiful, great bed, everything we needed for a comfortable stay was there.

Nice property in beautiful area. Well kept, furnished and clean except for some cobwebs here and there up high. Loved the view and furnishings on the balcony. The listing says "5 min walk to SEE the lake", but be prepared that you can't actually get to the lake, you can just see it from behind someone else's property.We enjoyed our stay and would recommend to others.

Great stay. open concept of main area was great for hanging out. Kitchen had all the needed pots/pans/etc. Quiet and away from touristy areas so did need to drive a decent amount but that’s what we wanted. House was clean and host were easy to communicate with.

A lovely stay! Welcoming and a comfortable “at home” felling. Nicely decorated with attention to everything you need for your stay and very clean. We enjoyed breakfast on the porch with birds and butterflies stopping by and evenings around the fire. The location was good for touring the Mammoth area.

Home away from home!!

The pictures do not do this place enough justice! It's absolutely gorgeous! They have it stocked with everything that you would need other than your groceries! Its so peaceful. Just a short walk to the lake! Or short drive to many other things to do. You can grill out or have a campfire and everything is already there for you! Or if your like us and just need a relaxing weekend or week this is definitely your place! I will definitely be coming back! Also they stayed in contact and let us know they were there for any questions and concerns. Great people!!
