The house was very well maintained and clean. It had about everything you could want, and the hot tub and pond were great additions. Communication with the owners was excellent and we were even allowed to check in a bit early as we arrived earlier than expected. Truly a wonderful retreat!

This house and property is outstanding! Our grandchildren had a great time! The only issue we had was the air conditioning unit upstairs was not working great and the mattress on the upstairs bed was not great. However, the house setting, cleanliness, etc. made up for this. It was great!

The morning views and baking!

Our stay at the Hidden hideaway was fantastic! We were two families, with a total of 9 people and we all had plenty of space! The kids loved the bunk bed room and the "kids space" upstairs. The grown-ups loved the outside space and the wonderful views. The kitchen had everything I needed to bake yummy breakfasts each day. We made watermelon sorbet too, yay blenders! Hidden Hideaway is a fantastic place to chill, slow down a bit, and enjoy time with friends and family. The views from the lake were incredible. Great spot for exploring Mammoth Cave. Check to see if the ferry is running, it was damaged during flooding in early spring 2025. We did our research and it was not a problem for us! We loved our time here and look forward to returning. Thank you!

Amazing house and property

The house was very clean and very nice. The kids loved the bunk room. But the best part was the property and view of the beautiful pond and trees. This place was a sanctuary and we loved every minute of it.

Lovely private home near Mammoth Cave

We had an amazing stay at this beautiful house near Mammoth Cave! The property is absolutely stunning, with a lovely fire pit that we enjoyed, and a peaceful private lake that added to the serene atmosphere. The house itself was gorgeous—spacious, clean, and very well-maintained. We really appreciated the tranquil surroundings and the opportunity to unwind in such a beautiful setting. The only downside was the limited space for eating inside, and unfortunately, the weather didn’t cooperate, so we couldn’t take advantage of the outdoor dining area. Despite this, we still had an incredible time and would definitely recommend this place for anyone looking for a relaxing getaway. Five stars all around!

Great getaway

We were looking for a quiet place to enjoy nature and relax away from the city for a while. This place was wonderful. We got all of that and more on top of being able to enjoy Mammoth Cave for a few days. The property is comfortable and well maintained. We are already considering another visit.

Great rental home near Mammoth Cave

We were a group of 8 (2 families each with tween/teen girls). We all found the home to be modern, comfortable, and clean. Plenty of space for us all. Great kitchen with everything needed to cook meals. We all loved the grounds with the pretty pond and geese. We also enjoyed the fire pit .. perfect for s'mores! 10 minutes to Mammoth Cave National Park when the ferry is operating .. 45 minutes when it's not ( but the drive is pretty).

The cabin was absolutely beautiful with plenty of space for the 6 of us. All beds were super comfy and the lux shower in the master bath was heavenly after a full day of hiking at Mammoth Cave. It was about 45mins to the park since the ferry was closed.

Nice property, issues management

The house is very nice, property is spacious, and everything was as described. There were two issues we had with our experience that made our stay pretty disappointing. The first issue is that the listing states there is a hot tub. My young kids were pretty excited about this and there simply was no hot tub or even jacuzzi on site. Not the end of the world, but I'm just not sure why you would put that on the listing if it's not true? The other bigger issue is that when we arrived to check in, the house was not clean. There were dirty/wet linens and towels that had been sitting in the laundry room for days (or weeks?) and the whole house smelled horrible. I had to call the property owners several times to get an answer and they did send someone out to clean the house. We had to pack all of our things back up and leave, so the house could be cleaned. This was a big inconvenience, as we had been out hiking all day and were ready to get in the A/C and relax for a moment. The property owner claimed they would give us a partial refund for this inconvenience, but it's been 3 weeks at this point, so I don't expect that will be happening.

We had a blast!

This property is amazing! If you are looking to get off the grid and spend some quality time with your family, you can not go wrong with this place. The listing does not do the pond enough justice. The pond has an awesome deck, the water is CLEAN, and there are plenty of fish.
