This was a great choice for our family of 4 with a teen and tween. It was a very convenient location for visiting mammoth cave and a short drive from the restaurants and other family activities in Park City. The beautiful backyard provided hours of quality family time. The interior was clean and tidy and my kids especially loved the horse decor. Communication with the owner was timely and thorough. I would highly recommend this property when visiting Mammoth Cave!

We had an amazing extended weekend vacation with our family of 4. The house was beautiful and clean. It was conveniently located near the cave and surrounding attractions. We loved spending time outside at the pond fishing and on the play ground.The house was equipped with everything and it made it easy to make meals. We grilled out one night and made smores at the fire pit. It had everything we needed and then some for entertainment and relaxation. I would definitely recommend and hope to stay again in the future. Dylan the host was so helpful and responsive. We loved everything about our stay. If you are looking for a family friendly option this is the place to go.

Sweet escape

The host and property were amazing. The host thought of every little detail to make our Stay feel comfortable and like a home away from home. Our eight-year-old son enjoyed the playground, the pond where he caught serval fish (catch and release), boar games and so much more. We look forward to staying again at the end of the summer.

Home Away From Home

This was such a wonderful stay for us! The house is beautiful. Very family friendly. Perfect for guests with children. My significant other, my five year old niece, and I felt right at home here. It was truly equipped with everything. Playset, toys, and dishes for children including cutlery was such a unique touch.This little country house had so much to offer. Whoever designed and decorated the inside, brilliant job! Did not expect that looking from the outside. So modern and cozy! We hope to visit again!!
