This was a very comfy, clean place to stay. We had everything we needed for our comfort & enjoyed it very much. We would stay here again! The hosts were very quick with any questions we had & were very accommodating on every level!
This property was a really cozy and nice and relatively close to mammoth caves NP! It had all the items necessary for a campfire. My wife and I thoroughly enjoyed our stay!
I highly recommend A-Frame Stays!We had a fantastic stay! The place was very clean and thoughtfully stocked with all the essentials we needed! The location was so convenient, close to great restaurants, coffee, and the lake. The host was absolutely amazing, friendly, and responsive. She went above and beyond to accommodate us! Whether you're staying for a weekend or a longer visit, this is a perfect choice. We would absolutely stay here again!
Angela and the amenities. This place is just a few minutes from where my brother lives. It is so convenient to be that close to him. We do not have to travel to see him. It has been a joy to work with Angelia.
This house was super cute and had everything we needed for a quiet getaway for our family. It was very clean, fully stocked kitchen, and even a few games for our kids!
It was the weekend getaway that we really needed! Cabin was very pretty and clean. Close proximity to Wax Marina allowing us to spend some time on the lake. We would definitely stay here again!
Our family loved staying in this cool A-frame for the week. The boys loved the upstairs loft and it was the perfect home base for a week of cave, kayak, boating, and swim adventures. Highly recommend this property with all the amenities you need for a relaxing getaway with kiddos.
Very adorable home - our family so enjoyed the fire pit outside as well as the grassy area in between the two homes! The owners communication was fabulous!
This was the perfect size property for us. Everything was very clean and new. It was very well stocked with all the items we needed. Location was great. 10 out of 10.
This cool, surprisingly spacious A-Frame getaway was a perfect place to unwind after a long day of hiking Mammoth Cave National Park. It was clean and well decorated, and with three bedrooms (one in a fun loft), it was a great stay for the four of us!
The owner is extremely nice and helpful, and seems to care about the property and the people who rent it.
I highly recommend!!
Our family of six from Ohio stopped for two nights on our way to Gulf Shores, Alabama. Our kids loved the space and we loved not staying in a hotel with four kids for two nights. Having a second full bathroom has become a must and we loved seeing more of the beautiful countryside on our way to and from Mammoth Cave. We also toured Crystal Onyx Cave and had a wonderful meal at Bouys which was so convenient.
This cozy A-Frame was perfect for my group of two teenage girls (who loved the loft area) and two adults. It was clean and beautifully simplistic. Not a loud neighborhood at all. We enjoyed the time spent at the cabin relaxing. There are parks and trails around the area; close to Nolin Lake as well. I enjoyed visiting this A-Frame.
This was the perfect property to stay in while we visited Mammoth Cave. The beds were comfy and plenty of room for playing games at night or watching a movie.
If the ferry is open its a quick 25 minute drive to the caves. Our first night a big storm hit and the ferry was closed all week, so we had a 50 minute drive to the caves, but enjoyed the drive each day.
We enjoyed our stay at the cabin and our time in KY. The cabin was very clean, comfortable beds, clean/fresh towels and sheets, adequately stocked kitchen. We had plenty of room for a cozy stay with our family of 5.
We visited Mammoth Cave and found lots to see there. We did have a little bad weather during our stay and found there is not much else around the area to go and do.
We would absolutely recommend a stay at this cabin. Angela was very responsive and the description/pictures are accurate!
House was the perfect spot for our family of four. Plenty of room to spread out inside and out. Beds were comfy, everything was new and clean. Wonderful water pressure in the showers! Stairs to loft are narrow but fine for our kids. We roasted marshmallows in the evening, our host Angela gave a great dinner suggestion at nearby Buoy’s. Be sure to take the ferry to Mammoth Cave, take at least two tours while you’re there, and say hello to the horses up the road from the house.
