Comfortable!
The proximity to the things we wanted to do made this a good choice. We enjoyed the layout of the place, esp. the porches to enjoy coffee and watch wildlife. Our bed was was comfortable as well, very important to us. Appreciated the washer/dryer! A note to navigation: Having read another of the reviews that expressed concern about Hilltop Road, we found Jaggers Rd to be a great option as it is paved.

Cabin Oasis
We loved this property! It was gorgeous, with a well stocked kitchen. The cabin and furnishings were comfy. The decor was fantastic and we felt at home. We wnjoyed meals on the front porch and watching deer around the house. It was convenient to Mammoth Cave National Pork, Hidden River Cave in Horse Cave. The kitchen was well stocked for folks that like to cook. We would stay here again!

Our stay was wonderful! The owner seemed to have thought of everything to make for a perfect stay. We especially loved the porch. I wish we would’ve used the grill area which was nicely laid out for family to spend time together.

Peaceful Haven
My husband and I loved staying at this sweet cabin. I loved waking up each morning and having coffee on that glorious porch. It was a fantastic place to come back to each day after exploring the Mammoth Cave National Park. I highly recommend this property if you're planning on visiting this beautiful area.

Short Trip to Mammoth Cave
My husband and I, with our two kids, stopped in Mammoth Cave on our way back to PA from FL. This was the perfect cabin for us to enjoy our short stay. The cabin is extremely clean and in a quite neighborhood. The owners were incredibly easy to communicate with and we had no issues with checking in or out. Although we did not stay long, we were able to enjoy a short walk around the cabin. We also enjoyed the ferry ride to and from Mammoth Cave National Park. This was one of our favorite things. When the ferry was closed, the drive too and from the park was not terribly long and quite easy to find.

Whipsaw
The hosts were super nice and polite. The house was beautiful in a very serene location. It was perfect for a cozy intimate getaway. If we hadn’t ran into an issue it would have been 5/5 stars. However, we ran into an issue on the first night though that dampened our plans and wasn’t able to be solved until the night of day two (we were leaving at 11 the next morning). The house was amazing and the hosts did get the problem fixed but it was just so late that it didn’t help the overall experience.

Amazing peace
Cleanliness was above. It rained hard one day, but to sit on the porch and smell and listen to it was what I needed. The big surprise was there were feral cats, and it made me feel like I was home. The worst part was having only three days, and I had to leave. Thank you again. I am looking forward to many more stays.

Quick stay at the lake
We stayed at Whipsaw while visiting Mammoth Cave (part of our trip to Nashville area). The cottage was clean, comfortable, peaceful (with the exception of the heavy thunderstorms that rolled thru our first night). Nice place to stay…just make sure you have some groceries, because it’s a few miles back to Brownsville

Perfect getaway spot
We had a wonderful time at Whipsaw. The location was perfect for our needs. We visited Mammoth Caves several times during our short stay. The Green River Ferry was open so the drive to the visitor's center was very reasonable, as well as beautiful. The cabin was perfectly stocked with everything we needed. We grilled each night on the gas grill. We discovered the towel warmer in the bathroom and were tickled because we had never seen or used one before. The front porch was covered and relaxing with plenty of room to sit. There is also a back deck and a fire pit. The deer came to visit each morning. The only negative was our fault because I didn't read the directions to the cabin and relied on our gps, which took us to Hilltop Road, which was a washed out gravel road. Make sure you take Lake Shore Road which is paved (and read Ken's directions). Aside from that, we had a wonderful time and would definitely go back. Thank you Ken and Nancy!

Great house near Mammoth Caves
Great property near Mammoth Caves. Well stocked, comfortable house with great balcony. The master bedroom bed was very firm and comfortable, and the shower was great. Second bed was a pull-out sofa in the living room, but was great for the kids. Mammoth Caves visitor center was approximately 40 minutes away, but it was a pretty drive. Overall we really enjoyed the stay!
