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.

Relaxing journey

We had a great time relaxing, cooking, and spelunking in Kentucky. The cabin was clean, with beautiful views, and comfortable with plenty of amenities. The neighborhood cave was closed but we had many adventures at Mammoth!

Nice property in beautiful area. Well kept, furnished and clean except for some cobwebs here and there up high. Loved the view and furnishings on the balcony. The listing says "5 min walk to SEE the lake", but be prepared that you can't actually get to the lake, you can just see it from behind someone else's property.We enjoyed our stay and would recommend to others.

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

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!

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!

Great getaway

We loved the quietness of the property. We often saw groups of deer and there was a family of stray cats as well. The outdoor space was what atrracted me to this property in the first place. The owners really paid attention to detail with their decor as well as amentities stocked, such as coffee.
