    Beautiful secluded home with space for 12. Love the porch, fire pit, hot tub and fishing pond. Also met a farm cat affectionately named ‘Barb’ by the kiddos.

    Would be nice to have a shampoo and conditioner dispenser in the showers. Also, the fishing poles and lures need upgraded to something functional. Thanks, we enjoyed our stay.

    A gorgeous property in a great location! This property is extremely well-kept and comfortable. Our family of 4 (kids aged 8 & 11) enjoyed everything about it - fishing, hot tub, making s’mores around the fire pit, relaxing on the porch, playing outside. With the ferry back up and running, we could go in and out of the park with ease to hike and do cave tours. We actually didn’t know the ferry was an option when we booked, so that was an awesome perk! We found the kitchen to be well-stocked for our cooking needs and everything worked perfectly. The hosts were easy to contact and very responsive. If we get back down to this area, we will absolutely book this house again!

    The house was very well maintained and clean. It had about everything you could want, and the hot tub and pond were great additions. Communication with the owners was excellent and we were even allowed to check in a bit early as we arrived earlier than expected. Truly a wonderful retreat!

    This house and property is outstanding! Our grandchildren had a great time! The only issue we had was the air conditioning unit upstairs was not working great and the mattress on the upstairs bed was not great. However, the house setting, cleanliness, etc. made up for this. It was great!

    Our stay at the Hidden hideaway was fantastic! We were two families, with a total of 9 people and we all had plenty of space! The kids loved the bunk bed room and the kids space upstairs. The grown-ups loved the outside space and the wonderful views. The kitchen had everything I needed to bake yummy breakfasts each day. We made watermelon sorbet too, yay blenders! Hidden Hideaway is a fantastic place to chill, slow down a bit, and enjoy time with friends and family. The views from the lake were incredible. Great spot for exploring Mammoth Cave. Check to see if the ferry is running, it was damaged during flooding in early spring 2025. We did our research and it was not a problem for us! We loved our time here and look forward to returning. Thank you!

    We had an amazing stay at this beautiful house near Mammoth Cave! The property is absolutely stunning, with a lovely fire pit that we enjoyed, and a peaceful private lake that added to the serene atmosphere. The house itself was gorgeous—spacious, clean, and very well-maintained. We really appreciated the tranquil surroundings and the opportunity to unwind in such a beautiful setting. The only downside was the limited space for eating inside, and unfortunately, the weather didn’t cooperate, so we couldn’t take advantage of the outdoor dining area. Despite this, we still had an incredible time and would definitely recommend this place for anyone looking for a relaxing getaway. Five stars all around!

    We were looking for a quiet place to enjoy nature and relax away from the city for a while. This place was wonderful. We got all of that and more on top of being able to enjoy Mammoth Cave for a few days. The property is comfortable and well maintained. We are already considering another visit.

    We were a group of 8 (2 families each with tween/teen girls). We all found the home to be modern, comfortable, and clean. Plenty of space for us all. Great kitchen with everything needed to cook meals. We all loved the grounds with the pretty pond and geese. We also enjoyed the fire pit .. perfect for s'mores! 10 minutes to Mammoth Cave National Park when the ferry is operating .. 45 minutes when it's not ( but the drive is pretty).

    Loved the house. If I did not already live out in the country and not quite so far away then would come back every fall just to get away from it all. Nice relaxing last day of a 2 1/2 week vacation.
