Cabin vacation rentals in Barren River Lake

I had such a wonderful stay at this cozy cabin near Mammoth Cave! The grounds were absolutely beautiful—peaceful, green, and full of charm. The nearby waterfall was so much fun to explore and made the whole experience feel magical. The cabin itself was spotless and decorated so cutely—it had a warm, welcoming vibe that made me feel right at home. Communication with the host, Dagmar, was excellent from start to finish. She was responsive, friendly, and made sure everything was just right. I’ll definitely be back in the near future—and next time, I’m bringing my fishing pole! Highly recommend this little getaway spot to anyone looking for nature, comfort, and great hospitality.

The cabin at Cub Run was a perfect get away for our family! It is a beautiful, clean cabin with everything we needed and more! Kevin was great with communication and we had all of our check in and check out information in a timely manner. It was about a 45 minute drive to the Mammoth Cave visitor center and we loved sitting around the campfire in the evening. There are neighbors nearby but it was very peaceful and quiet. If we head back to the area we would definitely stay there again!

Well, the first thing that really stood out for me was that the coffee maker worked. Lol. Coffee sets the day for me. But seriously. This place was exactly as described. Everything listed was exactly the way it was. It was restful, peaceful, and again, exactly as advertised. The whole family was satisfied with the experience. Made for a great 3-day getaway for the whole family.

We loved staying here! The porch swing was a family favorite as well as the fire pit. Sunsets over the lake were amazing!

We stayed at the cabin for 3 nights over the Memorial Day weekend. Such a lovely place, very quiet and peaceful! We particularly appreciated the back screened in patio, with the view of the lake. All amenities were provided that were needed (and more!); a great deal of thought has gone into making guests comfortable and happy. The kitchen is well-stocked and pristine, and the bathrooms are lovely as well. Interesting architecture makes this house something special! So glad we chose this one and we will definitely be back!

This place is amazing! It is everything we wanted and more! It is in the most beautiful, private setting (and complete with a hammock). The inside is gorgeous, clean, and very tastefully decorated. Literally everything was perfect; but some of my favorite features included: 1.) Foam top mattresses! We slept so good! 2.) Raining shower head and instant hot water! 3.) The separate tub was perfect! 4.) My 8 year old LOVED the standing video arcade game downstairs! 5.) No expense was spared. Even the toilet paper was high quality! 6.) The games, books, and activities provided were great! 7.) The wrap around porch with gorgeous views! 8.) Three and a half bathrooms that felt perfect in every way. 9.) The windows that make you feel like you are outside in nature! 10.) We all felt like we were HOME. So, so comfortable and inviting. This is the best Airbnb we have ever stayed in and I can’t recommended it enough! We would love to make this place part of our yearly vacation. Thank you so much!

This was a great place! There was 5 of us(3kids) and still had plenty of room. Was nice to be able to walk right out and fish and also had a side by side available to get around with. Was awesome weekend, Thank you!

Great home! Terrific firepit! Very private. Lots of wildlife! The lake is a plus! Will definetly be back.

Probably the best air bnb experience any of us had ever had. Felt like we were at a friend’s place vs a rental… the house is incredibly well stocked and comfortable, from the kitchen to the linens and activities and games. The various outdoor spaces were a dream and even though it rained all weekend we were able to enjoy the outdoors. The house is beautiful, the kids LOVED the bunk room (the secret aspect was so cool!). We hope to be back, and wish the owners lots of success with their new property. It was awesome!

This was a great private location for the last couple days of our honeymoon.

The house was perfect for two small families! Our boys (two age 8 and 1 age 6) loved the bunk beds, pool table, and air hockey. The moms loved the hammocks on the back porch. The house was immaculate and Laine was very communicative. Great house! Great amenities! The trail to the lake's edge is very steep as described. The last part of the path is wooded as described, but it is worth noting that the lake's edge is also wooded and not an area to set up and enjoy the lake. Would most definitely stay here again!

Enjoyed staying at Greg’s place!

We've stayed at a lot of cabins for fall and spring breaks with our kids & this is one of our absolute favorites! Everything was clean & comfortable, the hot tub is fantastic, and the layout of the house worked well for our family (kids in the basement, mom + dad in the upstairs master). There's an incredible amount of deck space (three levels!), and having coffee outside each morning was a highlight for me. The 18-hole disc golf course is a unique feature! My 7-year-old is just getting into disc golf, and we liked that we could just take him out to play a couple of holes at a time after spending the day doing other activities. A couple of things to know: (1) Grocery stores are few & far between in the area, so plan to bring most of what you need with you or to eat at local restaurants while you're out and about, (2) If you're visiting Mammoth Cave, look up information about the Green River Ferry -- not only is it a fun experience but it will save you a ton of driving time.

We had a great stay at the cabin. The kids enjoyed the downstairs area with their bedroom, pool table, darts and access to the back yard. We fished out back and had no luck but caught lots of fish at the boat ramp down the road. The host was very responsive.

Jamie’s place was exactly what we needed for our visit to Bowling Green. We were traveling with family, and the home was spacious enough for everyone in our group! The kitchen was well-stocked, which was important to us. Jamie was so helpful and responsive to messages and questions.

Great stay in Cub run with Hari! this cabin is seriously one of the most beautiful we've ever stayed in. worked for our little group. while we wish there was better lake access, you can't deny how beautiful the surrounding area is and once everything gets cleaned up from the floods I'm sure the closest lake access points will be back in action. really enjoyed easy connection to Mammoth cave, on both sides of the park, and several of the local restaurants.

The Gnome Home was such an amazing place! We enjoyed the week spent here. Heather was an amazing host. We had all the amenities we needed, including more towels than we've ever had at an Airbnb (it was amazing). We loved chilling by the fire pit at night, and watching wildlife during the day (deer, turkey, owls). We can't wait to come back and visit again!

We enjoyed staying at this historic home. The host was quick to respond and even kept us updated on severe weather that was headed to the area. We would definitely love to stay there again.

This is a beautiful, clean, and well appointed cabin. Lora was so kind to check in and make sure we had all we needed after our arrival, but the place was already perfect and we felt right at home. We stayed during the summer which was great for easy access to Barren River Lake, but this would also be an amazing winter rental with the cozy look of the cabin and the two fireplaces. Thank you Lora for hosting us!

We really enjoyed our stay! We loved the cabin, perfect size for the 2 of us. It was so clean and neat and so peaceful! Great location, close to all the caves and other attractions and also other nearby towns.

Beautiful stay with plenty of room for a good group of friends and family. Good games for entertainment and lots of conversation starting decorations.

Joel’s cabin was perfect for our group. We were in town to play the Park Mammoth golf course. Lots of space. Beautiful surroundings. Very comfortable. Easy to make yourself at home. Joel was a great host! - Nick

The house was perfect for our weekend away! Plenty of space both inside and outside. We went to Mammoth Cave and Louisville from here, and it was a relaxing home base.

I would highly recommend this stay to any of my friends and family. It was such a homey feeling. This place brought me back to growing up on the farm minus the live stock. We look forward to visiting again.
