Comfortable and centrally located

My family stayed in Nonna’s place, which included our 4, 7, & 9 year old sons. Everything was very clean. The kitchen had every dish, spoon, bowl, etc. we could ask for. There were plenty of towels and washcloths available as well. The house is centrally located. There were also several board games for the whole family. It is a short drive to Mammoth Cave National Park (where we spent most of our time) and Bowling Green.

Perfect place to stay!

We loved our stay at Nonna's place! This pole barn is so spacious and clean and very tastefully decorated! It is also located on a beatiful property overlooking the fields. Our daughter loved visiting the cows, they were so cute and friendly. I would highly recommend! We come to Kentucky for LS Fest almost every year and this has been our favorite place to stay by far!

Nonna's place is so perfect!

Great spot to stay and explore the Bowling Green area. It's a little noisy because it's right by the road, but turn on the fan or something and it's fine. The cows are very friendly and don't make any noise. Everything was spotlessly clean.
