Exile on Main Street

We are minutes from Mammoth Cave and fifteen minutes from Nolin Lake. Whether you are in the area to visit family, enjoy the local attractions, or just passing through, this is a great place to rest and unwind! In addition, the large screened in porch will allow you to soak up the City Of Brownsville's charming atmosphere, plus you can enjoy the new hot tub!
In the morning please enjoy our coffee bar, we supply coffee and tea.
We named this adorable house Exile on Main Street after The Rolling Stones album from 1972. It is on Main St after all . The spaces in this home are music themed. Some rooms are decorated around a specific song while other spaces follow the music ambiance. This cute cottage will delight the music lovers from yesteryear.

Weekend stay

Perfect for a week or weekend stay. We enjoyed the hot tub on the screened in porch but recommended adding curtains or shades for more privacy. Well stocked with blacks and towels. Kitchen was well stocked for at home meals and coffee bar was nice, recommend mini flavored creamers. Over great experience, would stay again and will recommend to family looking to visit Mammoth cave area.

Mammoth Cave trip

We had everything we needed. The provided coffee was a minor surprise and much appreciated. Was clean and comfortable. A great place to stay when visiting Mammoth Cave.My only issue: It’s a little tight getting in, but especially out, of the driveway. I have a CR-V, so I managed.

Great home base to explore Western KY

Great little house with everything you need to visit the area. It was very clean and comfortable. I enjoyed staying here more than I would have at any of the local hotels. Pet-friendly was a huge plus, and again, very clean, didn't even smell like a bunch of other people's pets. It is on the main road but it's a very small town. You'll hear the occasional truck or sirens at night but nothing too disruptive. Easy check-in easy check-out.

Everything you need near Mammoth Cave National Park

What an absolute gem! Clean, great location and very accommodating owners who communicate well. We stayed a few nights for a family trip to Mammoth Caves National Park. It's an easy drive to everything, including supermarket, gas and restaurants. The music theme behind all of the home decorations were really cool. And the boys loved the hot tub. We couldn't have asked for more. Would highly recommend to anyone looking to stay in the area.

Comfortable Stay

Stayed here for a night while on a long road trip. Cute town (a couple of dining options within walking or short drive distance). Off street parking behind the house. Grassy area for pets. Screened in back porch was great for relaxing in. Hot tub worked great! All the conveniences of home—including some comfortable reclining chairs. Appreciated the coffee bar. This place ranks in my top 5 cleanest places I have stayed at. Would definitely come back again.

Cute Place

We really enjoyed our time here, was a awesome little town, friendly to walk around. A great Mexican food restaurant right up the road, my son loves pokemon go, and we were able to walk around and had quite a few poke stops around. Hot tub was convenient for relaxing at night. Though the expectations of cleaning up and even bringing all trashes out was a bit extreme, when guest get a large cleaning fee, we are generally really clean and would do it anyways, but was a heck of a to do list. Regardless, fun place for the family to explore the area and see some of the enjoyments Kentucky has to offer.

Anniversary celebration

My wife and I booked the property in April for our 10th anniversary get away. Unfortunately our babysitter canceled so we ended up having to contact the property manager and inform them we had to either add our 3 kids or cancel our reservation. They cordially insisted that we bring our children along and did not charge us anything extra. We had a great time and the town was so quiet and welcoming. We would definitely visit again. Thank you!!!

Lovely House-Clean and Quiet Stay

We booked this for a trip to Mammoth Cave National Park. The house was lovely and clean. We did have a slight issue with the heat not working the night we checked in but I reach out to the Property Owner and he has someone there within an hour of contacting him. Very pleasant to deal with. Hot tub was a great perk of our stay. Mammoth park was about 10 miles away. Great, quiet neighborhood. My only complaint, which has nothing to do with the property or the owners, is that the city has one of those LED purple street lights across from the house and at night, I found it hard to see pulling in the driveway.

Perfect Location To Visit Mammoth Cave National Park

This clean little house was perfect for 2 adults and a teen to relax at after exploring and hiking in the National Park all day. Just 20 minutes to the Mammoth Cave Visitor Center where all cave tours start. There are small grocery stores and a few restaurants close by as well. The home had all the linen and kitchen essentials, including the stocked coffee bar. We really appreciated the hot tub at the end of the day after long hikes! The smart TV was also available for us to login with our Netflix account to watch movies. We would stay here again! The only complaint we had is the neighbors’ two large dogs wandered into our backyard numerous times and our little beagle is not friendly with other dogs. This is out of the property owner’s control, though.

Cozy cottage near Mammoth Cave

Very clean and well maintained. Charming and welcoming decor. The owners clearly take pride in the property as local community members. The drive to mammoth cave was easy, about 20 minutes. The beds and furniture are comfortable. The property was well stocked with towels and basic kitchen supplies making it easy to relax. The owners also operate PJs restaurant for breakfast, lunch, and ice cream just around the corner. Mexican place down the street is also good. Basic groceries available very nearby as well. Perfect for a couple nights to relax or recover from hiking. The road out front is busy but the blinds are thick and it didnt disturb us. We felt very safe and relaxed and appreciated the responsive and involved owners. Definitely want to return and do more of the park.

The house was perfect. The location was great probably 20 minutes from Mammoth Cave, and other nearby towns. The screened in porch was great to relax, and hot tub would be nice if it wasn’t during a heatwave. The decor on the inside was all music themed. This is a place we will definitely use again in the area.

It's not obvious from the photo, but you are right on the street so it was a little loud with the cars. We got in at night so basically just slept and showered there, so it was adequate.
