This home was everything we needed for a stay near Mammoth Cave National Park-you can’t beat an 11 minute drive to the visitor center. As host, Dylan communicated very well and had all the essentials ready for our stay. This was a perfect booking for our family of five.

This was a great choice for our family of 4 with a teen and tween. It was a very convenient location for visiting mammoth cave and a short drive from the restaurants and other family activities in Park City. The beautiful backyard provided hours of quality family time. The interior was clean and tidy and my kids especially loved the horse decor. Communication with the owner was timely and thorough. I would highly recommend this property when visiting Mammoth Cave!

Sweet escape

The host and property were amazing. The host thought of every little detail to make our Stay feel comfortable and like a home away from home. Our eight-year-old son enjoyed the playground, the pond where he caught serval fish (catch and release), boar games and so much more. We look forward to staying again at the end of the summer.

Home Away From Home

This was such a wonderful stay for us! The house is beautiful. Very family friendly. Perfect for guests with children. My significant other, my five year old niece, and I felt right at home here. It was truly equipped with everything. Playset, toys, and dishes for children including cutlery was such a unique touch.This little country house had so much to offer. Whoever designed and decorated the inside, brilliant job! Did not expect that looking from the outside. So modern and cozy! We hope to visit again!!
