Great place to stay in Southern Kentucky
We had a great time at this location. The property was beautiful, and the house was perfect for our reunion. The host stayed in contact throughout the entire process, and we were well-informed and confident she would meet all of our needs. We will stay here again if we get the opportunity. I would recommend it to your family as well.

Beautiful, Peaceful Cabin with Great Location – Highly Recommend!
Our stay at this cabin was fantastic! The property was beautifully maintained, spacious, and perfect for our family. One of our favorite moments was enjoying morning coffee on the porch while watching the horses—it was such a peaceful experience. The location was excellent, offering easy access to Mammoth Cave and some great local restaurants. We highly recommend this cabin for a relaxing and memorable getaway!

Relaxing break from the races
We as Sunseeker Solar Car Project annually attend a track race each summer. This year's occurred at the National Corvette Museum's Motorsports Park. The races can be very hot and exhausting as we are out in the hot 12+ hours a day each day. This VRBO served as a nice place to rest out of the sun and heat during the weeklong event!
The property is very quiet and away from any major traffic, yet close enough to the highway for you to get anywhere fast. The host was very polite and accommodating and frequently checked in on us to make sure we were doing okay. If I end up back in the Smiths Grove/Bowling Green area again, I will absolutely be coming back here!

Unique country experience
Wake up to horses next door with only rollings hills and cattle in view. This lovely home is a GREAT retreat from the typical hotel stay or urban setting. Owner is very supportive and willing to offer any assistance she can to make your stay convenient and comfortable.
You are 7 minutes from the new Bucc-ees, 20-ish minute from Mammoth Caves Visitor center, and 30-ish minutes from Bowling Green.
The grocery store in town is lovely with wonderful service.
Nice home with all the little touches to make a convenient and comfortable stay.

At Home in the Country
A great place to stay if your visiting Bowling Green. A short drive to a peaceful and picturesque setting just off of I-65. Enjoy country living in a modern log cabin with all the comforts of home. The furnishings and de-core are fitting to the countryside. The home has porches on 3 sides from which you can watch the sun rise, the sun set, or just watch the horses graze in the pasture. Your host is very friendly and makes you feel right at home.

Jade is an amazing host!
Our family group included a 4-year-old and a 1-year-old and Jade made sure we had a high chair, booster seat, and safety measures appropriate to those ages. The house was just as advertised and perfect for the 7of us. We were grateful for Jade’s suggestions regarding area attractions, given our little ones and our lack of familiarity with the local scene. The kids loved watching the horses grazing in pastures close to the house too. We had a terrific visit.

Thanksgiving family get away
This home worked out great for our three generations of family to meet and celebrate Thanksgiving. Jade made sure to check on anything we might need and even put up Christmas decorations for us to enjoy. Cooked a full turkey dinner and celebrated two family birthdays while we were there. Great location to visit Mammoth Caves and the surrounding area.
The beds are all very comfortable and the main bedroom is beautiful and huge. It worked as a separate movie room for grandma and the kids while grandpa watched football. We had a great time. Thank you for your hospitality.

Beautiful Setting, Lovely Home
The property has a picturesque setting, with beautiful rolling fields and horses. There's a hammock on the porch & large-sized master and private bedrooms. It's close to local attractions, and common areas were spacious enough for our sibling trip. Clean and generally a good rental.
It may not be for everyone, so I just wanted to flag a few things. I suspect Jade has had some bad experiences with guests that have led to these, but still not ideal for everyone:
- Temperature range is pre-set and cannot be adjusted; Jade was responsive when we asked her to change the range. However, the thermostat is in the hallway near the door so the temperature range applies to the hallway and the bedrooms downstairs got very hot at 4 am (everyone woke up!). I prefer to be able to control the temperature myself, and everyone's "comfort settings" are a little different, so if this is an issue for you, this may not be the house for you.
- Cameras that appear to have audio are in several places around the porch, which makes it not particularly enjoyable to hang out on the porch for coffee and conversation. It's more than a "Ring" doorbell, with multiple cameras views from all sides. Again, some people won't mind but not for everyone.
- I bet Jade is very nice but not great at texting, and her communication style can seem perhaps unintentionally abrupt (lots of all caps). There are notes all around the house (lots of DO NOTs); some are helpful, some less so.

Gorgeous, relaxing, cozy, and great customer service
We had a wonderful time staying at Jade and Angelo's cabin. They have excellent customer service from communication, ensuring the property is ready, check-in and check-out process, and ensuring we are comfortable during our stay. The property and the location is very peaceful and relaxing. It's around 20-25mins away to Mammoth Cave, 30mins to Nolin River, and an hour away from Nashville so we were able to do both nature and bar activities during our 4 day stay. The cabin is so nice and cozy. It is well maintained and has all the amenities we need. We had the chance to chat with the nice and friendly owners! We had a great family time at night relaxing by the camp fire and made smores. The mornings are my favorite... it was a great experience to unplug, relax in the hammock with a cup of coffee watching the lush greenery and the beautiful horses as the sun rises. I highly recommend this place!!!

Bad experience. Do not recommend.
I would not stay here again or recommend the property to others based on our experience with the owner.
The day before our trip, Jade asked for a guest count. We then found ourselves having to choose between either spending 40% more for our rental or cancelling our stay/trip and losing our rental fee. The listing highlighted how the house fit 16 people. It did not say we’d be charged $25/person/night for more than 7 people. If you don’t know how many people will be staying when you make the reservation, beware.
- There were notices posted around the house about how we’d be charged for not strictly following the cleaning guidelines, so we were extra diligent to follow the cleaning instructions. We then took photos of the cleaned rooms, folded laundry and empty trash cans. When Jade said she was going to keep some of our security deposit for things like not emptying trash cans, I said I was going to file a complaint because we had proof that this wasn’t true. At this point, Jade said that because we were “threatening” her, she was going to claim we also scratched a floor and would claim our entire deposit.
I’ve literally stayed in hundred of hotels and vacation rentals over the years and care for them as if they were my own. Never had a security deposit withheld until this experience with Jade. 👎
- The surveillance cameras w/microphones throughout the patio space gives you the feeling that you’re constantly being watched and have no privacy.

Everything was as described. We had a last minute addition to our group and Jade took care of it immediately.
Our intent was to find a big house within 90 minutes of Louisville and Nashville. This was it! We did daily trips to our adventures and came back to a great place to relax.
We had a group of 10 staying at the house and had room for everyone.
Can't say enough about the location and beauty of the property. Beautiful and comfortable! Thank you!
