Very nice stay

It was the perfect space for our family of 5. It was quaint but we loved that because it forced us to be together at all times. The owners were so friendly and I learned a lot about chickens!

Peaceful pet friendly stay.

We had the most wonderful stay at this peaceful rural gem! From the moment we arrived, the friendly hosts made us feel right at home. The serene setting was exactly what we needed.What truly made this Vrbo standout was how pet-friendly it was! Our pup was not only welcomed but spoiled with their very own bed—such a thoughtful touch! It’s clear that the hosts go above and beyond to make every guest, furry or not, feel special.We can’t recommend this place enough for anyone looking for a relaxing retreat.

Spontaneous decision to travel - great results

We made decision to deliver Christmas gifts personally rather than ship at the last minute, found this delightful place to stay about 15 minutes from downtown Bowling Green where my son’s family lives His family came out to this rental and we had plenty of space to open and play with the gifts we brought for the grandkids.

Welcoming cottage in a great location

Highly recommended! Chris and Chuck were amazing hosts. The cottage is very welcoming, comfortable, clean and nicely decorated for the season. It was stocked with everything you could need, the fresh eggs were a nice treat. It was great for our family of 5. We spent a lot of time outside and sitting under the gazebo with a fire. The cottage is nicely located 20-30 minutes from most cave attractions and Bowling Green. The hilly winding roads give a great southern feel. We would love to stay again if we were in the area. Thank you, Chris and Chuck.

I absolutely fell in love with this little cottage as soon as I walked through the door. The hosts, Chris and Chuck were very friendly and welcoming and have created a beautiful little slice of heaven to share with others. I thoroughly enjoyed our stay and i hope to visit again with my children to enjoy the area and the farm scenery. Definitely one of the best ABNB I've been to!

Perfect getaway, amazing hometown hospitality!

We absolutely loved our short stay here!! The cottage is perfect. First, Chris (and Chuck) is the BEST host! She goes out of her way to make you feel welcomed and informed. The farm fresh eggs from Chris’ chickens made our time feel like being back home on our farm. Due to significant traffic on our drive, we arrived much later than expected. Chris noticed this and made sure that the lights were on and the door unlocked for us. The cottage is very spacious with all the comforts of home. The kitchen is well stocked. The beds great. The seasonal decorations just added to our delightful travels to Smiths Grove! We will definitely be staying here again!!!

Great place

A beautifully decorated home, 2BD 1Bath with total laminate flooring ( pretty) which is great for being pet friendly. The well manicured property is several acres, with lots of room for strolling around outside. Nice covered deck with fire pit and gas grill. Friendly owners live next door- they provide anything you might need, but the home is extremely well stocked. They have brochures at the house available for most activities- We went to Mammoth Cave - 30 minutes away- I would advise booking your tours before going if possible. They sell out quickly and you can be left with nothing to do for several hours waiting on your tour. Another note- if you are planning to leave a dog with a sitter, be sure to bring immunization papers. We drove to Bardstown for the day. ( little over an hour by interstate) It's a fun historic town, bourbon capitol, with neat shopping and restaurants.

Home away from home

My family stayed a few days while our home was being renovated. Hosts were onsite, took care of anything we needed. Our two dogs enjoyed exploring the rolling hills and appreciated the dog bed and toy provided. House was clean and comfortable for a short getaway. Strong wifi allowed me to work from home successfully while there.

Great spot near Mammoth Cave National Park!

Quiet country cottage close to Mammoth Cave. Beautiful location with host living in the adjacent house. Beds were comfortable and place was clean. We had a great time sitting out on the patio one evening when the weather was cool. Close enough to grocery stores, restaurants, and Mammoth Cave to be convenient, but nicely quiet and relaxing. Would definitely stay again.

Cute and well stocked cottage!!

We loved this little cabin! It had everything we needed and was such a nice place to come back to after exploring mammoth caves! It was only a short 25 min drive to the park! We enjoyed the yard for our young kids to run around it and the farm fresh eggs were a nice touch!

pre-eclipse Mammoth Cave trip

This immaculate, beautifully maintained property felt like home from the minute we walked in. It was peaceful and featured amazing views. The location was very convenient to get to a wide array of parks, museums, distilleries, wineries, antique shops and so much more. All the amenities were there. The furniture was in great shape and very comfortable, as were the beds. Definitely one of the best properties we've been to & a real bargain!

Kentucky Backroad Motorcycle Trip

The owners were extremely helpful and accommodating both before and during our stay. It was as comfortable as being at home. They made room for our small trailer in the driveway and we were able to easily load and unload our bikes in the driveway. Property is amazing, enjoyed afternoons on the covered patio. Property is close to all amenities and recreation and the sport bike riding in the area is second to none.

Great Place to Vacation

We had a great time staying in Smiths Grove! The reason we chose this property was the location, close to Bowling Green, and the reasonable price. It has all the comforts of home. Our fur babies were comfortable, too. The kitchen is fully stock with dishes, kid's dishes, serving bowls non-stick pans, bakeware, blender and toaster. The towels, both kitchen and bath, were good quality. The seasonal decorations were nice. A firepit was added during our stay, which we enjoyed. The owners, Chris and Chuck are friendly, helpful and respectful. There were issues with the wifi and the grill but they were resolved. We will stay again when in the area. The Owens Family

Great place to stay!

My family of 5 plus our Golden retriever had a very nice stay at Chuck and Chris’s cottage. The view was beautiful, the cottage was clean, nicely decorated and well stocked with all the necessities and then some. It was a 20 minute drive to Mammoth Cave and 20 minutes to Bowling Green Kentucky. We got to see a lot in our short visit and enjoyed coming back to the cottage to rest. We hope to visit again.
