The house is beautiful inside and out! It’s a clean home, and comfy to just lounge around. Area was super nice and quiet. Definitely would recommend and you would enjoy your stay!
We had a wonderful stay. House was beautiful and plenty of room. Loved the 3 king bed! Location was great right the middle of town close to everything. Will definitely stay again!
Was in town for a family event last week. The Blue Moon Cottage is a beautiful home, with plenty of space and everything you can think of. Has to be one of the best rentals in Owensboro. Nice quiet neighborhood but also minutes away from anything you need, especially good barbecue! We will definitely stay here again next time we are in town!
We loved everything about this house it was more than we expected. Our host made sure we had everything we needed to make our stay great. We may even plan another stay with our grand children just so they can enjoy the pool.
The house was very roomy and had everything you would need! The outside with pool was very relaxing and comfortable perfect to sit and visit with family and the hosts are wonderful! I highly recommend !
We have family in Owensboro, and sometimes we need a little extra space when we visit from Bowling Green. This adorable house is in the perfect location and gives us the extra space needed for “spillover”…so much better than staying at a hotel.
We will definitely be staying at the Blue Moon Cottage again!
Our number one priority was the pool and it didn't disappoint! The pool area had lovely trees around it. One of my sisters said she plans to stay in your area in the future and wants to stay there again.
We came down for my son’s wedding. The cottage was very nice, clean and all the bedrooms had lovely decor and king sized beds. The main living room was big enough for all who stayed with us. Love that we could do laundry. The pool was still open and we did get a swim in due to how warm it was outside. We absolutely loved this vrbo. We will definitely stay here again.
We had a fantastic time at the blue moon cottage. The house is huge with three master bedrooms and two fireplaces. Location is also wonderful and a safe area. I brought my great grandmother and our baby and we couldn’t ask for more. Thank you for everything
My family stayed for a wedding weekend.
Totally exceeded our expectations. Decorating was beautiful Magnolia Home look. Joanna couldn’t have done it better. Completely stocked with everything including snacks and coffee. Pool and yard beautiful as well
Perfect Home for Our Volleyball Tournament Weekend!
We stayed at this home for a volleyball tournament and it was absolutely perfect! The house was incredibly spacious, spotless, and beautifully decorated, just like the photos, but even better in person. It had everything we needed and more, plenty of thoughtful extras that made the stay super comfortable.The location was fantastic, tucked away on a quiet street but still close to tons of great restaurants and things to do. What really stood out was the host’s communication, so friendly and helpful! They reached out ahead of time with weather updates (flooding was expected in the area) and stayed in touch to make sure we had everything we needed. That extra level of care was so appreciated.We’re already planning to come back in the summer, it was that good! Highly recommend!
This property was everything we wanted and more. The pool was actually bigger than I had thought. Plenty of room for everyone. And lots of extras also…. Pool noodles, loungers, basket for of snacks (my teenagers liked that), keurig pods, extra towels, pillows, and much more. The owners were excellent to communicate with and let us check in early. It was very clean. Our main focus on our trip was to visit Holiday World in Santa Claus Indiana and it was just a short distance for us to travel to get there from this property (approx 40 minutes I think). We also visited Evansville Indiana. A lot to see and do within an hours drive and then could come “home” for a relaxing evening in the pool. We truly enjoyed our stay!
Superb stay! Lovely home with responsive, thoughtful hosts!
The blue moon cottage was spacious, sparkly clean, and beautifully decorated. We immediately felt right at home in this relaxed, welcoming space. Each bedroom has a big, comfy king bed which completely eliminated the inevitable who-gets-the-best-room dilemma.
The hosts seemed to have anticipated our every need with thoughtful little touches throughout the home. The house is nestled in a lovely, quiet neighborhood and we enjoyed just walking around to see some of the other gorgeous old homes.
If I am any more effusive in this review, people may begin to wonder if I'm a paid spokesperson or somehow elated to the hosts. (no and no) So, I will just sum it up by saying we had a really, really great experience!
Host was great. The house was perfect and located perfectly in Owensboro. Celebrated family Christmas at the house and the everyone enjoyed it. The host had a Christmas tree and decoration for the occasion. Great job..
The house was very clean and comfortable. It was in a very charming neighborhood and a great location for local excursions. The pool was wonderful and the fire pit was a bonus. We enjoyed our stay and hope to visit again.
The house was perfect for our family! We had plenty of room to spread out and enjoy our time in Owensboro! The only issue we had was that the doors to the downstairs bedroom do not close all the way.
This place exceeded my expectations, it was stunning! They didn’t miss a single detail and the interior decorator did an amazing job! The pool was so much fun and the area was very peaceful! We would return, this was the best experience I’ve ever had in a short term rental, there are zero complaints, it was so perfect!
House layout is fantastic for several families. Bedrooms are large with closets stocked with extra blankets, pillows and a small fan. The kitchen is small, but stocked with everything we needed. The stocked coffee area and basket of snacks were used daily. Both kids and adults enjoyed the large pool. We will stay here again the next time we visit the area.
