"We had a nice shady parking spot outside, cold AC and fast Wi-Fi inside, and a clean comfortable home for our long weekend stay. The house is walking distance from some shops and restaurants, a coffee shop, and a couple of bars. We drove a few minutes into the National Park for cave tours, and a few minutes up the road to Kentucky Down Under. And there was a very sweet neighborhood cat who hung out in the shade on the porch in the afternoons. All around an excellent stay."

"Communication was proactive and showed a genuine concern for our comfort during our stay. There was an error in double booking on the property’s end and they made extra accommodations for us and went out of their way to make sure we were taken care of. The owner is a very kind person and reached out on a few occasions to ensure we had everything we needed. The cabin was beautiful, well maintained, and clean, and had great amenities for cooking. We enjoyed the brand new grill outside and also used the fire pit and enjoyed the local hiking trail. It is close to Mammoth Cave and we really enjoyed spending half the day at the park then relaxing at the cabin for the rest of the day. Highly recommend!!! (Side note - we are now at our next cabin destination of our road trip and we are missing the comfort and amenities at Maple Retreat!)"
