Our family really enjoyed our stay. The location was great for day trips to Louisville and Nashville, both about two hours away. Don't miss Fridays after 5 in the riverfront! The house was clean, comfortable, and had everything we needed. The beds were very comfortable and we loved the downstairs whirlpool tub and double shower. The kitchen is small with limited food storage buy he music room cabinets worked well. The only downside was the pool area. There was quite a bit of debris in the pool despite the skimmer running, the floats and furniture had caked on debris and the grill needed a good cleaning. This did not stop us from enjoying everything we just had to clean things. Overall, we had a wonderful stay and would recommend this propery.

Beautiful home in Owensboro

Was in town for a family event last week. The Blue Moon Cottage is a beautiful home, with plenty of space and everything you can think of. Has to be one of the best rentals in Owensboro. Nice quiet neighborhood but also minutes away from anything you need, especially good barbecue! We will definitely stay here again next time we are in town!

Good find in Owensboro.

We have family in Owensboro, and sometimes we need a little extra space when we visit from Bowling Green. This adorable house is in the perfect location and gives us the extra space needed for “spillover”…so much better than staying at a hotel. We will definitely be staying at the Blue Moon Cottage again!

Our number one priority was the pool and it didn't disappoint! The pool area had lovely trees around it. One of my sisters said she plans to stay in your area in the future and wants to stay there again.

Charming place

We came down for my son’s wedding. The cottage was very nice, clean and all the bedrooms had lovely decor and king sized beds. The main living room was big enough for all who stayed with us. Love that we could do laundry. The pool was still open and we did get a swim in due to how warm it was outside. We absolutely loved this vrbo. We will definitely stay here again.

We had a fantastic time at the blue moon cottage. The house is huge with three master bedrooms and two fireplaces. Location is also wonderful and a safe area. I brought my great grandmother and our baby and we couldn’t ask for more. Thank you for everything

Perfect Home for Our Volleyball Tournament Weekend!

We stayed at this home for a volleyball tournament and it was absolutely perfect! The house was incredibly spacious, spotless, and beautifully decorated, just like the photos, but even better in person. It had everything we needed and more, plenty of thoughtful extras that made the stay super comfortable.The location was fantastic, tucked away on a quiet street but still close to tons of great restaurants and things to do. What really stood out was the host’s communication, so friendly and helpful! They reached out ahead of time with weather updates (flooding was expected in the area) and stayed in touch to make sure we had everything we needed. That extra level of care was so appreciated.We’re already planning to come back in the summer, it was that good! Highly recommend!

Amazing

This property was everything we wanted and more. The pool was actually bigger than I had thought. Plenty of room for everyone. And lots of extras also…. Pool noodles, loungers, basket for of snacks (my teenagers liked that), keurig pods, extra towels, pillows, and much more. The owners were excellent to communicate with and let us check in early. It was very clean. Our main focus on our trip was to visit Holiday World in Santa Claus Indiana and it was just a short distance for us to travel to get there from this property (approx 40 minutes I think). We also visited Evansville Indiana. A lot to see and do within an hours drive and then could come “home” for a relaxing evening in the pool. We truly enjoyed our stay!

Superb stay! Lovely home with responsive, thoughtful hosts!

The blue moon cottage was spacious, sparkly clean, and beautifully decorated. We immediately felt right at home in this relaxed, welcoming space. Each bedroom has a big, comfy king bed which completely eliminated the inevitable who-gets-the-best-room dilemma. The hosts seemed to have anticipated our every need with thoughtful little touches throughout the home. The house is nestled in a lovely, quiet neighborhood and we enjoyed just walking around to see some of the other gorgeous old homes. If I am any more effusive in this review, people may begin to wonder if I'm a paid spokesperson or somehow elated to the hosts. (no and no) So, I will just sum it up by saying we had a really, really great experience!

The house was easy to find and has plenty of dining/shopping options within minutes. Check-in was easy, communication with the host was great, and the pool was fantastic! We really enjoyed the local farmer's markets/stands and made a few meals at the house with ingredients purchased from the markets. I would highly recommend this property to anyone visiting the area!

The Blue Moon Cottage was a winner in all categories! Clean, comfortable, and close to the places we traveled to visit. Excellent communication from owner and super easy check in and out. We travel to Owensboro annually and always stay with VRBO. Blue Moon is hands down the best rental in the area!

This house was great! We were only there for a couple of nights but the host is amazing! Check in was easy, it was clean, the pool & backyard were beautiful. We were there too early in season to use the pool but it was clean and well taken care of. The house is beautifully decorated. A bit older than I expected but so charming! My only slight complaint is that the bathroom upstairs is VERY small. We are not tall people but there is a big slant in the wall in the shower and it made it difficult for my husband who is only 5’8” to shower. It was less of an issue for me at 5’3” you can tell they did what they could to make it work though. And the staircase is very narrow. But overall it was great! The host was very friendly and kind. They even had some snacks available when we got there.
