Spacious, clean, adorable!

An absolutely wonderful place to stay! I wish we could take this place with us! There was so much space in the living, dining, and kitchen area. The rooms were spacious as well. Every amenity was provided that we needed, and we all loved the resident cows in the field adjacent to the property. A lovely stay!!

Kentucky Trip

I was very pleased with my stay here. Property was unique, clean, and spacious. We made it a point to spend a lot of time here during our trip to cook, play games, and pet the cows. It is cdntrally located between Mammoth Cave and Bowling Green. Would recommend and would definitely stay here again.

Country comfort close to Bowling Green

Johnathan had excellent communication with us before & during our stay and the house was clean, beautiful, and stocked with everything we needed. There were also great recommendations of nearby restaurants and attractions and the trip to Bowling Green was quick and easy. The sunrise pictures and morning coffee were relaxing and enjoyable from the back patio. A great place to stay!

Mammoth Cave

We had such a great stay at Nonna’s place! I planned this weekend getaway for my boyfriend’s birthday. Neither of us had been to Mammoth Cave in many years. I found Nonna’s Place on VRBO and it looked and sounded amazing! I’m so glad we stayed here! It was clean, comfortable and felt like home. We look forward to visiting again soon!

KY vacation

The house was extremely clean and felt very homey. The rooms are bigger then they appear in the picture. It's in a quiet, safe, rural area, but close to the interstate and centerally located, allowing us to visit other regions of KY. 10/10!

Beautiful

Great place to stay near Mammoth Cave and so much more to do in the area! Felt like home away from home. Excellent communication and your host really want you to enjoy their property! The place is spacious, sparkling clean, private, well thought out, put together and had everything we needed for our stay. We would definitely book again over any place else if we came back to the same area. We have already sent the listing information on to friends who are interested in visiting the area as well.

Comfortable and centrally located

My family stayed in Nonna’s place, which included our 4, 7, & 9 year old sons. Everything was very clean. The kitchen had every dish, spoon, bowl, etc. we could ask for. There were plenty of towels and washcloths available as well. The house is centrally located. There were also several board games for the whole family. It is a short drive to Mammoth Cave National Park (where we spent most of our time) and Bowling Green.

Nonna's place is so perfect!

Great spot to stay and explore the Bowling Green area. It's a little noisy because it's right by the road, but turn on the fan or something and it's fine. The cows are very friendly and don't make any noise. Everything was spotlessly clean.

Five star place to stay

Totally enjoyed our stay in the Bowling Green area. Nonna's Place is very well kept and easy to feel right at home. Out in the country which made evenings very quite when enjoying the evenings outside but easy access to local attractions.

Perfect place to stay!

We loved our stay at Nonna's place! This pole barn is so spacious and clean and very tastefully decorated! It is also located on a beatiful property overlooking the fields. Our daughter loved visiting the cows, they were so cute and friendly. I would highly recommend! We come to Kentucky for LS Fest almost every year and this has been our favorite place to stay by far!

Beautiful Lawn Farm GetAway

The once pole barn has been turned into a beautiful, cozy place. It was great to sit and relax. God’s scenery outside was like a beautiful painting. I loved being greeted by our 3 cow neighbors that love bread. Many memories made!!!

Amazing find and centrally located

Brother and I stayed for a few days to visit Bowling Green and Mammoth Caves. This place we perfectly situated to visit both. Met the owner as we pulled in and got some last minute instructions. Great layout for the two of us- the place looked as if it had just been remodeled, and had all the right things in the kitchen for our cooking needs.
