I was concerned that Pam left a raving, written review, but only indicated 4-stars (our first ever). I contacted her for clarification, and she told me it was because her sister, who is ill, fell when entering the house. The porch clearly has two steps to enter the house as shown on Vrbo. I am sorry that your sister

We had been traveling for a while when we came to stay at Ida’s Cottage and we immediately felt at home and peaceful. I regretted that we couldn’t stay longer! Plenty of room for everyone (we had 3 young kids with us), big kitchen and living area, and super comfortable beds. The location was great too. Easy drive to Mammoth Cave and a nice, quiet neighborhood. Would definitely stay here again!

The home was charming, decorated as from the 50's or 60's. Each of the teenage boys had their own room{3boys) and my husband and I had the master bedroom downstairs, The beds were very comfortable, and one could block light coming in with the curtains. We were close to Mammoth Caves and Kentucky Down Under. We tried several restaurants close by and spent time in Bowling Green. We came home in the evening and had snacks from the charming kitchen which had all items needed to prepare a meal.

This was a great home away from home. Such a cute place, will definitely be back next year! Beds were very comfortable . Kitchen stocked for any meal you’d like to prepare. Bathroom was also stocked well. Very spacious for family that came to visit, and such a great location close to everything. Downtown shops and eating at the Bistro Cafe is a must do!

Large and comfortable space. Beds and shower were great! Really appreciated the central air and bottled water in the fridge as it was very hot and muggy on the days we were in Glasgow. Off street parking was a bonus. Stewart was a great communicator. Would definitely stay here again!
