About this property
The Bunkhouse @Dragonfly Ranch is made to make you feel like home away from home
We have opened up the Bunkhouse next to out Ranch house for guests that want a comfortable and relaxing get away from the city life or an exciting adventure out of their norm. We are family owned and operated Horse Ranch. We're still building as we go and improving every day to become a place where we can entertain, educate and rehabilitate folks from all over. We have big plans for our little slice of heaven and while you are here you can get involved with our day to day living or watch from the porch or in the hot tub. Our welcoming committee is a very friendly group of dogs that bark to let us know you are here and meet you at your door for petting and a sweet hello. The horses are everywhere and just as curious and loving as the dogs here...just a tad bigger. You can stay to yourself and explore the Ranch or mix n mingle with us as we come n go during the day. The Bunkhouse is comfy and has several personal touches to make it magical for young or older folks. You get to experience what it's like to live on a Ranch/ Horse Farm in the hills of KY while staying a stones throw from Mammoth cave national park. And we have a hot tub with a beautiful view to boot! Special Buckaroo camp in July 24-28th for kids 9-15 yrs old accompanied by an adult. multiple siblings can be accompanied by one adult. 10 spaces available $500.00 per child, adult free . This includes all activities and assigned horses and special events over the 5 days. if interested, message us at Dragonfly Ranch for more information and booking. Thank you

Its a legit working horse farm on 90 acres. We have 4 kids, ages 7 to 12. They loved it. Tonya, the host, is super helpful and friendly. Walk the grounds, pet the horses, explore the pastures, check out the "cave". A bit of a drive to Mammoth Caves, but we were looking for a place that was a little more secluded. Would definitely recommend for a great experience!
Went to blue holler off park to side sxs’s. Found this very nice off the beaten path house. Loved it, clean easy to get to and the host always answered my messages. Would recommend.
Staying at a ranch, we didn't expect it to be so clean. But this was the cleanest vacation house we have ever stayed at!! The horses and dogs were amazing. Tonya was great! We will definitely be returning!!
This was a very nice stay to get away from the city. Ample amount of room. We did a lot of tourist things that were within 30 to 45 minutes of our stay - mammoth cave, kentucky down under, amish bakeries, other cave tours.
Staying at the Dragonfly Ranch was such an incredible experience! The property is absolutely beautiful, the welcoming team of dogs were so sweet, the bunkhouse was just as was described in the listing, was extremely clean, and more spacious than we hoped.
On top of that, the trail rides that we were able to coordinate with Tonys gave us a view of the National Park that we never would have known about. Plus, the star gazing was spectacular.
In short, my family thoroughly enjoyed our stay and we would highly recommend this ranch to anyone who wants to spend time exploring this area!
We had a short but peaceful stay. The house itself is very spacious with plenty of sleeping areas. Walking in you immediately feel at home. My kids (5 of them) were in heaven with the horses and the pups. All of the animals were super friendly and lovable. If you forgot something don’t worry the house will probably have it! Many kid games and toys. The view of the stars at night are breathtaking. Definitely recommend sitting in the hot tub when it’s really dark and look at the sky.
We only had time to stay for one night on our way to Mammoth National Park. We were a group of 10 and they were happy to accommodate.
This place is old school charm all the way! With most sleeping arrangements in the basement it makes for a unique experience and great family gathering spot. Very spacious.
We loved the horses and tranquil feel of the property.
We would definitely stay again.
Tonya greeted us & is very friendly & helpful. The place has everything you need for a great family stay. The upstairs was stocked with various snacks & even some staples such as pancake mix. Main floor has a nice queen bed & a handicapped shower. The walkout basement has 2 queen beds, 1 bunk bed & 2 twin beds plus a full bath. The frig on lower lever had various snacks for the kids, tons of movies, a gaming system with lots of games. The 4 boys had fun at nite with all of these. We went out to walk among the horses & they all came up to be petted. There were also 2 bonus puppies who were adorable. Their mamas were very sweet. Beautiful country here!
We enjoyed the stay. There was plenty of room and the hosts were welcoming. Everyone enjoyed the horses and dogs. The property is in a nice and quiet rural setting.
Overall, this property was clean; check in and out process was easy. There was plenty of space for everyone. Hot tub was clean and everything was well taken care of.
I may not have read the description clearly, but only the master bedroom is on the main floor. The bedroom with 2 twin beds was in a basement room with no windows, if that matters to anyone.
Super easy check in. Just walked in a made ourselves at home. Had everything we needed In fact I overpacked. Great response from host. Beautiful property. We loved it so much we have recommended to friends and are wanting to come back again!!!
