Country Charm
We enjoyed our stay. The place was very cute and well thought out. It was one of the cleanest Airbnbs we have stayed in. The location was peaceful and quiet. It had everything we needed.

Cozy MidCentury Modern Farmhouse near Mammoth Cave
We loved staying at Anna's place. The interior decor was impeccable and coming back in the evening from hiking and cave tours to bourbon and the peaceful outdoors was perfect. Loved our stay and would not hesitate to go again.

Hidden Station
Thank you for hosting us. Had a great time in Horse Cave. One of the most unique AirBnB we’ve stayed in.

Quiet horse farm with pool, hot tub and more!
Beautiful property. Very clean. We couldn't find a quick all to the lake that was described. It was a little awkward having people right upstairs but we adjusted. But it did keep us from using the pool. The place did have a very musty smell but we made a quick trip to dollar general and got some air freshener and a candle and it was fine.

The Loft off Main I
I loved that the Airbnb is above a coffee shop, as well as being walking distance to other stores and restaurants. The town is very cute & felt safe.

Rough River Lake Cabin close to ramp pet friendly!
Marissa was so responsive… and we were placed in the middle of Bluegrass country was simply amazing! I spent two days at Mammoth Caves National Park, and one day at the Bluegrass Music Hall of Fame, jamming with other musicians, and one day at the Bill Monroe museum and homeplace in Rosine, Kentucky… It was an amazing! adventure!

Treetop Views *Trails, Fishing *No Cleaning Fee
In a word… FANTASTIC! 5++ Stars. Staying in Matt’s Tree House exceeded our expectations. In addition to what other reviews have noted, I will add the craftsmanship, in every detail of the Tree House, is exceptional! I enjoyed seeing this quality work. Layout, functionality, quality, tastefully decorated, and so many extras. Enjoyed the campfire ring one night as well. Highly recommended!!

Redbird Hideaway With Hot Tub
Redbird Cabin Hideaway was a very relaxing cottage. We were all very comfortable and the spacious outdoor areas were all filled with different pieces of nature and activities. Justin was responsive with information and clear concise instructions. We highly recommend this cabin and serene getaway for and couples or family vacation. The from porch, cabin, hot tub, fire pit, firewood, playground, the outdoor perch at the top of the hill. Extraordinary.
Your guide to Mammoth Cave
All About Mammoth Cave
Mammoth Cave is a natural wonder in the heart of Kentucky, located midway between the major cities of Louisville and Nashville, Tennessee. Home to the world’s longest known cave system, the UNESCO World Heritage Site of Mammoth Cave National Park has just as much to do above ground as it does in the 400 miles of caverns that lie beneath it. There are over 53,000 acres of park with nearly 85 miles of trails for hiking, biking, and horseback riding, and you can spot muskrats and rare local species such as the Indiana brown bat.
Park rangers are posted at the Visitor Center on the southern side of the park to answer any questions you might have and host free guided hikes through the park. The Green and Nolin Rivers provide 30 miles of space to kayak or canoe. Outside of the park, there are a few nearby towns, including Cave City, where you can ride a zipline and see life-size dinosaur statues.
The best time to stay in a vacation rental in Mammoth Cave
Mammoth Cave is a major attraction year round, but be sure to bring a jacket when you visit as the caves’ interiors are cool regardless of the season. Summer is the most popular time to visit the caves and explore the rest of the park because of the temperate weather outside, but be prepared for a wait for some tours. The cooler days of spring and fall make them quieter times to arrive. Springfest in Old Louisville offers food trucks and local artwork in May. In late fall and winter, you’ll have much of the park to yourself, and September brings the Ten-Tucky Festival in Louisville, a series of plays by local professionals.

The Sinkhole Trail
This two-and-a-half-mile trail is an accessible path through Mammoth Cave National Park. The route winds its way through moss-covered rock formations, past smaller caves, and across a wooden boardwalk. You’ll also be able to catch a few glimpses of the underground river that flows through the cave system.
Abraham Lincoln’s Birthplace National Historical Park
An hour’s drive northeast of Mammoth Cave National Park is the birthplace of America’s 16th president. This historic site in Hodgenville is home to pastoral trails following in the footsteps of the statesman’s boyhood play places, a large stone monument, and multiple exhibits where you can learn about his early life in rural Kentucky.
Historic Churches and Cemeteries
More than 600 families in 30 rural communities called Mammoth Cave their home before it became a national park in 1941. Learn about their history and lives at the four churches and adjacent cemeteries, such as the Old Guide’s Cemetery off the Heritage Trail and the Mammoth Cave Baptist Church.
