Perfect spot!
Easy instructions for gate, door and wifi. We loved seeing deer and turkeys around the cabin. The lane was perfect for evening walks. Love all the green details of the cabin. The property is impecably maintained. Awesome to have washer n dryer and so many items conveniently stocked in the cabin. Thank you! An ale8one bottle would make a perfectly Kentucky vase for the color scheme.

Great Getaway
The place was just as advertised, everything was clean and up kept well including the landscaping and road to the cabin. The owner was very communicative, gave all of the necessary instructions before we arrived and even checked in on us to make sure we had everything that we needed. Highly recommend!

Amazing Cabin!
We had an amazing stay at this adorable historic cabin in Berea, KY! The cabin was full of charm and character, and the location couldn't have been more perfect for exploring all that Kentucky has to offer. From kayaking through a flooded, abandoned mine to exploring the vast Mammoth Caves and visiting the Ark Encounter, our days were packed with adventure.John was a fantastic host—quick to respond and full of great local recommendations that made our trip even better. My family and I truly felt at home and already can’t wait to come back for another stay!

Our stay was amazing. This cabin was everything advertised and more. The history of the property was an extra fact that we learned while there and made our stay much more adventurous. I would recommend this place to anyone looking for a little solitude and relaxation. We will return, soon, now that we know this place is here.

Simply the Best
The cozy cabin deserves an A. The directions provided made it easy to find and the pictures on the listing are completely accurate. The cabin is spotlessly clean and the beds were the best ever. (Wish I had this mattress at home!). We loved the nicely appointed decor. There was a puzzle provided which helped us pass a quiet evening. We were about 7 minutes from hiking at The Pinnacles which was challenging and fun. And a 15 minute drive got us to Berea which is a delightful town. We’d love to return to this cozy cabin. So thankful we discovered this home.

Cleanest cabin
Nestled in the mountain on secluded property, it was peaceful and quiet. The cabin itself is impeccably clean and has just what you would need for a quiet get away. Yet this place was short drives to many destinations. We had a great family getaway with many memories made!

Quiet Getaway
Wonderful Experience. I rented this place for my wife’s birthday and could not have been more satisfied. The cabin was spotless, comfortable beds, and amazing views with peace and quiet. The host checked in to see if everything was fine and if we needed anything. Secluded away in the woods, but close enough to restaurants and shopping. Only problem with this place is that we couldn’t stay longer. Definitely will return and would recommend to others.

Four Senior Ladies in a Cozy Cabin in the dark, dark woods.
After all was said and done we decided we couldn’t have had a better place to stay. The cabin was clean and well maintained with a TV, cookware, comfortable seating, lots of lights inside and out, comfortable queen beds, etc. We did have trouble navigating the rock slab steps, but we discovered it was better to drive up the hill and park even with the yard to transfer suitcases etc. from the car to the cabin. Even though the dishwasher looked “newish” we couldn’t figure out how to use it. Perhaps a paper with directions on how to use it would be useful. Also, the Keurig coffee machine had a blinking light to descale it. The Keurig worked for us but it needs to be descaled to keep it working. The two scatter rugs in the bathroom need to be replaced with a thin one that the door can clear. For safety the rug should have a backing to keep it from sliding on the floor. If these few suggestions can be fixed Cozy Cabin will be perfect!! By the way, there is an amazing mountaintop view not for from the cabin!!

We had a family emergency
We were unable to stay due to a family emergency. I messaged several weeks ahead that we would not be able to come. I messaged the phone line listed, emailed the host, messaged the host and sent a message on VRBO. I did not get a response and sent these messages twice. I am hoping the host saw our messages and just did not respond. This looked like a darling place to stay! Hoping to try again one day in our future!
