Owensboro & Holiday World

Had a wonderful stay. The kitchen was spacious. The rooms were as advertised. We found the area to be safe and pleasant. The property was about 40 minutes from Holiday World and we enjoyed downtown Owensboro as well (10 min drive). The owners were extremely responsive when we asked a question. We would definitely stay here again.
