New Signature Highlands Home- steps away from…

RobertRating, 5 stars1 week ago
The house was a great place to stay and gather with family. Host was responsive and helpful. House was pretty clean. Only suggestion would be to rake the leaves out front and clean off the outdoor furniture. Otherwise, nice place and we enjoyed ourselves at Jimmy's BNB!

Paw-fect for pet lovers & thrill seekers

KathleenRating, 5 stars2 months ago
Anita’s place is exactly what we needed. It was clean & comfortable! The fenced yard was a perk for my dogs! Thank you. It’ll be awhile before we’re back in town. But I will definitely reach out if we need a place to stay!

Traveler's Cottage

DonnaRating, 5 stars5 days ago
Wonderful Airbnb, simply delightful just to walk inside. Colorful, artsy and fun decor. Everything in its place. Very welcoming. Around the corner from the best bagel shop, Native Bagel, and to the best burger place Night Jar. Easy walk to campus and town center. Will definitely stay here on my next visit to Berea.

Urban Getaway .6 Entertainment Historical District

BrittanyRating, 5 stars1 month ago
The place is adorable, and in walking distance of the local library and a couple restaurants. The place feels bigger than the pictures make it seem. There is train tracks just a few streets away, so you do get that noise, but I learned to tune it out pretty quickly. The stairs to the basement / laundry area are steep, but it has a railing. Overall, a great place to stay.

Cozy Cumberland Cabin

JamieRating, 5 stars2 weeks ago
Perfectly located for a Cumberland Falls visit. We intentionally picked a full moon weekend so we could see the moonbow. We also enjoyed a full day of hiking with our dogs. The town of Corbin is only 18 minutes away in the other direction and that’s where we went in the evenings to do dinner at The Wrigley (great food, casual - but actually great food) and the pinball museum (which was AMAZING). The cabin had everything we needed and it was just as described.

Cozy cottage, pets free, quiet, private,5m. to DT

JenniferRating, 5 stars2 weeks ago
This was such a good experience! We were in town to visit our son who attends college in Louisville. We talked to Anne about having our son and a few of his friends over to the house and she was SO enthusiastic and helpful as we made our plans. The house was GORGEOUS - beautifully decorated and other than the clothes we needed to wear each day, we barely needed anything else! Anne had a wide assortment of shower gels, shampoos, conditioners, lotions, etc. available so it immediately felt like home. Something that I absolutely loved was all of the artwork. It felt like each time I walked in a room I discovered another drawing, painting, or figurine that I hadn't noticed before. Some of it was quirky, some fun, some lovely, and it all worked together to create this beautiful energy for the entire living space.

The York House at Catawba Farm

CindyRating, 5 stars4 weeks ago
Catawba Farms was an excellent choice for my family. My husband and I brought our grandchildren and neither were ever board. My grandson is a train lover and could not get outside fast enough when he heard the train coming. The animals, the freedom to roam, the big tree with the swing in the backyard, and the peace is just a tidbit of the goodness we found at the farm! Faith is super kind and very responsive. We spent two days, back and forth, to the creation museum, The Ark Encounter and driving into Cincinnati, all of which were within an hours drive. Thank you, Faith, for sharing your home and treating us like family!

Entire Waterfront Home - 6 Bed/4.5 Baths

JoshuaRating, 5 stars1 month ago
We felt welcomed and "hosted" throughout our marvelous three-night stay. Shari went out of her way to provide a wonderful home for our family as we gathered from multiple states. The accommodations exceeded expectations. She intuitively provided items in the home that even we (experienced guests) didn't anticipate. Everything about our time at Dock Holiday was a step above. Communication could not have been better. Everything was perfectly in order for a tremendous time away from the busyness of Nashville. Our many thanks for this special location, special home, and special time!

Lakeview Lodge

DougRating, 5 stars4 days ago
Beautiful home with more than enough space for a large group. Well equipped with everything we needed to prep meals and feel at home while we stayed. Rachel was responsive and helped with any questions or issues we had while we stayed. The only issue we had was the hot tub... it was quite dirty with a lot of floating debris which led to us deciding not to use it. Other than that the place was wonderful and we would absolutely stay there again.

OnTheRocks Lake-house w/Pvt Dock

LouiseRating, 5 stars5 months ago
I travelled from Illinois to meet family from Alabama for Thanksgiving. It cut everyone's travel time in half. We brought with us all of our groceries and made all our traditional Thanksgiving favorites in the well equipped kitchen. We spent 2 days enjoying family time with a view of the lake. The last night we roasted hot dogs and marshmallows over the fire pit. One other comment everyone had was the excellent quality and number of towel available.

Lake Front - Private Dock - Sleeps 10!

KathyRating, 5 stars2 months ago
We used this house for our Salty Sister Ladies Winter Retreat. The views were amazing! Beautiful house with plenty of space and beds for our group. As described, the driveway is extremely steep and 4WD is needed. Age range was 16-80 and we were thankful for our two younger ones helping those with walking difficulty. Sadly, we broke a chair immediately upon sitting at the dining table. The leg was loose without her realizing. As described, the driveway is a battle for carrying things down and up the hill. But we had an amazing time together and so glad we braved it.

Your guide to Kentucky

All About Kentucky

Bordered by the Ohio River to the north and the gently rolling Appalachian Mountains to the east, Kentucky is a land of rugged hills, raging rivers, endless caves, and oh so much good music. The state’s musical innovations span several genres, including bluegrass, blues, and country, spawned from the eastern hills where you can still find local artists and national acts performing in places like Covington, with its independent theaters and music venues. Along with being the birthplace of bourbon, Kentucky also boasts an impressive culinary tradition: its unique hickory smoked barbecue style has spread to the rest of the country and can be traced back to the Welsh settlers of the western wetlands.

For a dose of Kentucky culture, stroll Louisville’s fashionable Frankfort Avenue in with its trendy bars and bohemian vibes, or spend a day in the cute little town of Bardstown, where you can sample the state’s legendary distillate, see an outdoor musical, and visit a whiskey museum. If it’s the outdoors you crave, explore the rugged Daniel Boone National Forest or the sandstone bluffs in the Red River Gorge Geological Area that make up just a small portion of the almost 2 million acres of public land in the state.


The best time to stay in a vacation rental in Kentucky

Sitting between the warmer climate zone of the south and the colder northern areas of the country, Kentucky finds itself with generally mild temperatures and pleasant weather conditions throughout much of the year. Summers can bring high humidity, and with that often comes dramatic thunderstorms that sweep the landscape. For summer festivities, the famous Kentucky State Fair takes place towards the end of August, and the International Bar-B-Q Festival takes place around mid-May in Owensboro for a taste of the hickory smoked meats and spicy vinegar-based BBQ sauces the region is known for.

The diverse deciduous forests break out in a brilliant display of autumn hues during the fall, which can be a great time to search for cabin rentals in Kentucky, as the temperatures tend to be the mildest during the shoulder seasons. With the winter comes slightly lower temperatures and a reduction in humidity. Regardless of the time of year, the state's levels of rainfall tend to stay relatively stable.


Top things to do in Kentucky

Mammoth Cave National Park

Mammoth Cave National Park is a 52,830-acre limestone cave system in central western Kentucky with over 400 miles of surveyed tunnel, making it the most extensive known cave system on the planet. Spending as little as half an hour, or up to a full day of exploration, is possible in the underground passageways alone. Above ground, hiking, rock climbing, kayaking, and horseback riding are all on offer.

Berea

This rural countryside town is known as the Folk Arts & Crafts Capital of Kentucky. Artisans, artists, and creatives have flocked to this UNESCO Creative City for its tradition of supporting the arts since its earliest days as an English settlement. Museums and galleries like the Appalachian Artisan Center, where you can find exhibits, classes, and art for purchase, can be found in Berea’s old town Artisan Village alongside glass studios and other artisanal workshops for patronage.

Bluegrass Music Hall of Fame & Museum

Located in Owensboro, the Bluegrass Music Hall of Fame highlights the musicians and performers who helped bring the iconic style into the limelight. In addition, the museum has several displays and exhibits that detail the history behind the music, as well as lesson opportunities and several live concerts throughout the year.
