This property is fantastic. We loved everything about it. It was thoroughly clean, very comfortable and beautifully presented at the height of Southern charm. We loved the farm setting so much, and felt so fortunate to have found it for visiting family.
My husband and I booked this house as base camp for exploring the area over a long weekend. It was a wonderful house with beautiful farm views. It was great being outside the towns/busy areas but still close to everything. The house was incredibly charming and comfortable. We both loved our stay.

Thank you Lisa. We would love for you to visit again
We had a wonderful stay at this home. Very clean and well stocked with lots of space for our family of five to spread out and relax. We really loved the location too - an easy drive to Mammoth Cave, shops and restaurants yet far enough out for peace and quiet. The views from the back porch are amazing. We will definitely be staying again!
This property was perfect for our 2026 girls trip. Plenty of space both inside and out. Host was fabulous to work with. Would stay here again if in the area.
Home was very clean and spacious! Loved that it was a bit remote yet not far from shops and attractions. Would recommend this place to everyone. Host was wonderful.
As with the other reviews, the home was immaculate - so quiet, the sky was full of stars, pool table and corn hole were highlights for one lazy afternoon. The kitchen had everything we needed and all appliances and utensils were top shelf. The bathrooms were stocked with plenty of comfortable plush towels and who doesn’t want to shower in a lavender tub! We brought a telescope and spent two evenings star and planet gazing on the front porch and back patio area after visiting Mammoth Cave. Thank you for a lovely stay.
We had the most wonderful stay at the homestead! The proximity to national parks and great food was a welcome surprise. In addition, we loved the quietness of the homestead, such a beautiful and peaceful place to stay. If we ever visit Kentucky again, we will definitely be staying here.
Wonderful large older home with all the modern conveniences! We had plenty of room for our family of four to have space away from each other and to also come together. The pool table was a big draw for us as was the covered back patio. Out of Cave City a bit but close enough to everything including Mammoth Cave National Park. Would certainly recommend and hopeful to some day get to go back!
We really liked the house and the pool table was great. Clear directions and great scenery. I would like if the kitchen were just a bit better stocked with cooking utensils, oils, basic seasonings, etc. My only negative is that the host fees were far too high for me to consider staying here again. What was advertised as 250 per night came to over 600 per night with the added fees.
You have a beautiful home with plenty of space for everyone! We felt like we were visiting a grandparent from our childhood with the wooden floors and all the cabinets. The sewing table and storage chair full of notions was a very cool touch! Our kids thought the best feature was a toss up between the pool table and the cat. Thank you so much for such a lovely stay!

Thank you Melissa, so glad you enjoyed your stay Hope you can return again someday
Great house and great amenities. Back porch was amazing for morning coffee. Had a blast using the pool table and the tvs were really nice for watching football. Really cool location with so many things a short drive away. We had a group of golf dads and would definitely stay here again.
The house was beautiful and so clean and cozy. Amazing smell throughout the house, beds comfortable. Would recommend over and over! The host responds quickly and very friendly.
Sheila was a great host and communicator. We really enjoyed our 3 day stay. We particularly enjoyed the space of the home and the privacy and peacefulness of the surrounds. The formal dining room and stocked kitchen came in super handy for Thanksgiving dinner, and the pool table was so much fun. Conveniently located close to Mammoth Caves National Park. We definitely recommend this property if you are planning on being in the area.
Our family loved our stay at this spacious home. We enjoyed the beautiful farm views and watching the sunset from the back patio. We had a blast playing pool in the downstairs rec room. Communication was great and the house was super clean and stocked with all the amenities. This was the perfect property for our family as we explored the Mammoth Cave area.
I have stayed in many air b&bs, but this is probably the best I have stayed in. The bedrooms were spacious and well decorated, my wife loved the kitchen. The ambiance of the place was “we are at home”. If we have the opportunity to return we will definitely check here first.
The property was so big we weren’t on top of each other!very clean and so quaint.my 90 year old aunt lives in a farm house so she felt right at home. We had a family reunion to attend so didn’t spend a lot of days but wish we could have . Thanks so much to host for easy check in!
This house was perfect for our stay in Kentucky. It is spacious, clean, and a fun property for our group. We all especially enjoyed the pool table and the front porch. The location was great for our time exploring the area of Mammoth Cave National Park. Cave City has some delicious restaurants. Shelia was a wonderful host and thought of everything we may need, from popcorn to laundry pods and even restaurant recommendations.

Rebecca’s group were perfect guest they followed check in and check out rules left the house very tidy and would love to have them return anytime
Perfect 'home base' for our Horse Cave, Kentucky visit! This was a lovely home in a quiet, peaceful, and beautiful setting. All our needs were meet, with some fun extras like the pool table. The beds and sectional were super comfy. The two teenage girls even raved on and on about how comfortable their beds were. Sheila was very responsive and provided great recommendations on dining in the area. Hope to go back again in the future and highly recommend!
The house and the property were fantastic. We really enjoyed each person having their own bed and we played pool each night. We visited Mammoth Cave and the Lost River Cave. We loved the added security of Tom Tom the guard cat. The homeowners were responsive to the couple of questions that we had and the information at the house about where to eat and the checking out instructions were very clear. Thanks for a great time.
We had a wonderful stay at the Homestead in the Barrens! The house is a very comfortable, and well-furnished. There is a ton of space to spread out. The setting is very quiet and peaceful.
The two cautions I would give are 1. we found the property a bit difficult to locate in the dark -- recommend arriving during daylight the first time and 2. cell signal was spotty for us and the house's internet connection did act up on us partway through our stay.
