About this property

Cozy house close to Mammoth Cave and Bowling Green

This is a cozy farmhouse located in Oakland, KY on a 150+ acre farm. It is only two minutes from I-65 south to Bowling Green/Nashville, five minutes from 1-65 north to Louisville/Lexington, 10 minutes from the Corvette Museum, and 20 minutes from Mammoth Cave National Park, Nolin Lake, Beech Bend Raceway, and Western Kentucky University. It is centrally located between Nashville, TN and Louisville, KY. We look forward to hosting travelers from a variety of backgrounds and interests!

Space
Extra beds (besides the king size bed): There is a queen size pull-out sleeper sofa with a new cool gel memory foam mattress. We also have a 22 inch raised queen size air mattress with a built in electric pump. We have a game and movie rack with a wide selection of favorites. We also offer several kitchen gadgets including crock pots, George Foreman grill, double panini maker, stand-up mixer, pots, pans, baking sheets, etc. Guests will also find the SOKY Magazine, which offers a monthly calendar for all the daily/nightly events in Bowling Green and surrounding cities. There is also a high school regulation-size basketball court and a pond (sorry - no swimming or fishing).

Our most favorite attractions on the farm are the cows. They are very friendly and LOVE bread for treats. Guests are more than welcome to feed and pet them.

Guest access
We hope guests will enjoy the entire farm - from the basketball court to walking the airplane landing strip to the pond.

Guest interaction
We live in a separate home in front of the farmhouse and will be available at almost anytime.

Other things to note
While we do not have cable TV, we do have an antenna which provides approximately 15-20 channels along with a DVD player and wide selection of movies. The house is divided into two sides with each side having an open floor plan. The kitchen leads into the living room and the bathroom leads into the bedroom. The toilet is hidden from view of the bedroom by a half wall and curtained area.

Upon departure, guests are asked to start the dishwasher. We take care of the rest!

Lovely getaway
This was such a wonderful and peaceful place to getaway. Beyond happy we were able to bring our pups with us on our vacation. Perfectly placed, close enough to access everything you need, far enough away feel secluded.

A real farmhouse
A lot of rentals in rural places like to call themselves "farm houses" but the one is the real deal. It's on a working farm, with cows pastured close by. That said, it's easy to access both the house and Mammoth Cave about 20 minutes away.

Great location
Needed a place to sleep at a half way mark in a road trip. Great location just 5 minutes off 65. Very welcoming and quiet. Loved saying hi to their cows!

About the host

Hosted by Jonathan Carrier

Host profile image
Hello, VRBO'ers! I am from a sweet, small town and currently live in my great-grandparents' 100 year old farm house. I am a rental property manager and an aspiring songwriter. I started using private vacation rentals two years ago when we traveled to Denver. Our experience was so wonderful that, when we moved from the "little house" at the back of the farm to where I am now, I knew I wanted to open a rental and share our love for the farm life. I spent the better part of the spring arranging the space and had family members of our friends who were traveling to do some trial stays. They LOVED it just as much as we did when we were living there and knew it was time to start welcoming traveling guests.

It is so exciting to meet new people from all different backgrounds who are traveling for a variety of reasons!

Why they chose this property

We provide a cozy space on a 150+ acre farm with lots of room to wander and play. The sunrises and sunsets here are second to none. We live at the front of the farm so we are always available. Need a toothbrush? We've got you covered. How about a cup of sugar? We've got that, too. We truly want to make your stay as wonderful as possible.
