About this property

The Award Winning Historic 1893 Reed - Dossey House Bed & Breakfast

When you book your stay here, Our guests will experience the charm of the Historic 1893 Reed-Dossey House Bed & Breakfast located atop a hill with picturesque views of Brownsville, Kentucky. In the past 2 years, this B&B was awarded three Best In Kentucky awards from travel magazines. This cozy B&B is conveniently situated just 5 miles from Mammoth Cave National Park, 10 miles from Nolin Lake State Park, and 25 miles from the Corvette Museum in Bowling Green. With only the one private room with your own bathroom suite, you will be our exclusive guests and you will have access to the stunning bedroom with 12-foot ceilings and an attached private bathroom featuring a jetted bathtub and shower.

Take your pick from the two beautiful porches to unwind during your stay, or head to the game room with board and arcade games for some indoor entertainment.

Please note that the maximum stay is 3 nights, and we only accept bookings from the guest who will be staying on the premises. The minimum age limit for adult renters is 25 years, and we do not allow children or any additional guests.

A highlight of our B&B is the made-to-order gourmet breakfast, which is included in the room rate and served in the elegant dining room. We use only the freshest ingredients to prepare your breakfast of choice, whether it's scrambled or fried eggs, bacon, ham, or sausage, French toast made with specialty breads, toast, mixed fruits, juice, coffee, or tea.

In addition to the dining and bedroom areas, guests have access to most lower-level rooms including the Parlor, Game Room, and Sunroom, as well as both outdoor porches. Please note that the kitchen is off-limits during meal preparation, and the host's bathroom is not available for use.

Last but not least, please be aware that we have a friendly cat named Katie who roams the premises but is never allowed in the guest room.

The Best Food Ever

Tony and Sharon are a delight to speak with. The house is great and they are award winning chefs. If you are picking a supper, we highly recommend the pork chops. The fresh bread is fabulous. We will be back. Thanks guys for a fabulous stay. Dave and Valorie

Amazing Experience

Sharon and Tony were incredibly welcoming to my girlfriend and I from the moment we arrived. We loved hearing the stories behind everything in the home—every item seemed to have its own little piece of history. The house itself was beautiful, and we had such a great time hanging out with Sharon and Tony in the game room, playing pinball and Pigs.I'm so glad we stumbled upon their bed and breakfast on our way to Nashville. If we head back that way, we're definitely coming back—and bringing another couple along with us!

Historic Bed and Breakfast

This historic house is packed with charm and warmth. The amazing breakfasts set us up perfectly to fuel our miles of both above and below ground hiking each day in the Mammoth Caves National Park. Sharon and Tony are wonderful cooks and hosts.

Best B & B

My husband and I have stayed at MANY B & B's and we would rate this one the best ever. If you are thinking about the candle light dinner-YES it was great. If you are ever in the area again we would return.

Much More Than An Ordinary B&B

Sharon and Tony welcomed my wife and me into their home as though we were long-lost friends. We enjoyed everything about our stay: the comfortable bed, spacious porch overlooking the scenic hillsides (gorgeous in the fall), delightful conversations and, of course, the delicious breakfast with homemade jams, jellies and syrups. If you stay there, sign up for the optional dinners. We had homemade pizza one night and grilled steaks the other, and both were great — and generous enough to enjoy leftovers as lunches the following days.

We came to check out Mammoth Caves, but staying here was definitely a great addition to our trip. Sharon and Tony are phenomenal hosts. All the food they made for us was wonderful, breakfast is personalized every morning for you, the house itself is beautiful, they both put so much detail into everything they do for their guests. Truly a great place to stay!

Wonderful experience beginning to end!!

Unfortunately, we were only able to stay one night at this B&B. We truly felt so welcomed and cared for-we would have loved another couple of days! Of course, none of our clothes would have fit by then! The food!! Absolutely delicious-soup to nuts! Tony and Sharon really put their hearts into every detail-we felt like royalty the whole time. In addition, we had great conversation and a lot of laughs! Thanks for the highlight of our 10 day vacation! ❤️

Charming Historical Home

We had a wonderful stay in this charming historical home. The view from the porch is incredible. The owners Tony and Sharon are so friendly and welcoming. They went out of their way to make our visit special, sharing the history of the home, feeding us with special treats and a delicious breakfast! We cannot wait to visit again.

Great B&B

My best friend and I have stayed in multiple B&Bs and never have we been welcomed in this way. They responded to every communication. The food was catered to our likes but we were also given the chance to try other homemade dishes. Ask for French toast! We loved it here. It was also convenient to Mammoth Cave.

Anniversary Getaway

This was a memorable stay not only was it our 36 Anniversary, but to experience a BNB with many awards, its easy to see why when you spend time here, the views from the porch, the game room. Tony and Sharon are wonderful hosts, from culinary skills,fresh bread, cheese platter, dinner was fantastic. Breakfast was delicious, before we left our leftovers were packed for us when we left. Thank you again Tony an Sharon
