Outdoor Lover's Creekside Cabin (dog friendly)
Very nice quiet and peaceful locale. If you’re looking to get away from everyday hustle and bustle, this place is for you. Wooded area with a peaceful stream meandering nearby. Next to state park with mountains, woods, hiking, and lots of breathtaking sightseeing.

BreatheInnLuxury @ CaveRunLake
We really enjoyed our stay! It was very clean and private with a relaxing atmosphere. The master bath and outdoor area is amazing! We grilled out while there. The kitchen has everything you need for cooking. When I did have a question Linda and Breck responded quickly and were helpful. Would love to stay again!!

Full Moon Cabin, a cozy RRG Tiny Home stay!
Me and my husband stayed here for our anniversary. It was perfect. The creek sounds were so relaxing, the outdoor shower was refreshing. We had neighbors but it still felt very secluded. The bed was comfortable, and the cabin was clean. It was all we could have asked for, we will be back

Waterfront Cabin with Hot Tub
Beautiful! It was quiet, away from the city and the cabin is very cute. We loved staying there!

Dixie Mtn. Hideout
Beautiful view! Very private & peaceful. Easy to get to & plenty of activities in the area. Cabin was clean and had everything we needed. Would definitely stay again & looking forward to another trip there. The view from the deck was spectacular!

River House - Cottage with KY River View & Access
We really enjoyed our weekend at your B&B. Looking forward to returning! Thanks again!

Cozy Cabin with Private Walking Trail
This was our second visit and it lived up to our expectations and bonus was no bad storms while we were here! Spent one day in Bowling Green and another in Nashville. This place is a great location to see both! The home has such character! Really enjoyed the chickens and watching the cows across the street!

Beautiful place to celebrate our Anniversary!

Lazy Turtle
We really enjoyed our short stay at Lazy Turtle Cabin. The location was secluded and peaceful with a wonderful river view from the comfortable porch. The cabin met all our needs for a cozy family getaway. We just wish the weather had been nicer so we could have taken advantage of the outdoor amenities. Carla was a great host who went out of her way to make our stay enjoyable.. We would love to stay again someday.

Hot Tub Haven with Private Dock on Lake Malone
Our stay at this lakeside retreat was nothing short of magical! The home was impeccably clean, beautifully decorated, and equipped with everything we needed for a comfortable and relaxing getaway. The private dock provided the perfect spot for fishing and boat docking, while the hot tub offered a serene way to unwind after a day on the water. The peaceful surroundings and stunning views made it an ideal escape from the hustle and bustle of daily life. Our host, Sara, was incredibly welcoming and responsive, ensuring we had all the information we needed for a seamless stay. Her attention to detail and thoughtful touches truly enhanced our experience. We left feeling refreshed and rejuvenated, already planning our next visit. Highly recommend this hidden gem for anyone seeking tranquility and natural beauty!

Rough River Oasis: Close to Lake - Deck - Fire Pit
The stay was great! Went for a weekend getaway, and it was the perfect, cozy, & relaxing home we needed. If I am ever back in the area, I will choose to stay here again! Sarah was super proactive and responsive with messages! The listing was spectacular to begin with, but I was blown away when we walked in with what all the space included. A binder had ideas of how to spend time in the area which was much appreciated, too. Overall, I was incredibly impressed by this airbnb. Definitely my favorite place I’ve stayed :)

Midnight Pearl
The pictures do not do this place justice. The peacefulness and serenity of this vacation home are unmatched. Sara and Todd were fantastic hosts. Their communication and attention to detail were fantastic. If you are looking for a place to escape look no further. It is the perfect spot to disappear and relax. I know we will be back. Thank you Sara and Todd for a great weekend.

Scenic Cabin • Private Hot Tub • Fire Pit • WiFi
The outpost was everything we hoped for! It was an amazing stay! We loved every single detail in the cabin and everything was so clean! Would definitely come back!!

Hobbit Hollow Red River Gorge
This cabin was absolutely beautiful. They take such great care of this wonderful little gem. The surrounding woods are so peaceful and it is a perfect spot to unwind for a weekend.

Luxury Retreat w/ Hottub & Sauna
This was a 1000/10 experience! The Airbnb is identical to the pictures. What the pictures don’t capture is the care that Courtney puts into the place. When we walked in she had the Eiffel Tower up on the screen with music playing, a hand written note, and the smell from her candle company was heavenly. We actually went to the local place that sells the candles and purchased some to burn in our home! We chose this Airbnb just glancing looking for a trip to enjoy our 1 year wedding anniversary. We couldn’t have picked a better Airbnb! The nicest we have ever stayed at in terms of what it offers (hot tub, sauna, full kitchen to cook in the home, grill, back porch fire pit, and speakers throughout different areas of the home) the beds are like sleeping on a cloud as well! The cleanliness is unmatched. We have told all of our friends of this place and hope to visit again in the future! You HAVE to stay here at least once in your life!
Your guide to Kentucky
All About Kentucky
Bordered by the Ohio River to the north and the gently rolling Appalachian Mountains to the east, Kentucky is a land of rugged hills, raging rivers, endless caves, and oh so much good music. The state’s musical innovations span several genres, including bluegrass, blues, and country, spawned from the eastern hills where you can still find local artists and national acts performing in places like Covington, with its independent theaters and music venues. Along with being the birthplace of bourbon, Kentucky also boasts an impressive culinary tradition: its unique hickory smoked barbecue style has spread to the rest of the country and can be traced back to the Welsh settlers of the western wetlands.
For a dose of Kentucky culture, stroll Louisville’s fashionable Frankfort Avenue in with its trendy bars and bohemian vibes, or spend a day in the cute little town of Bardstown, where you can sample the state’s legendary distillate, see an outdoor musical, and visit a whiskey museum. If it’s the outdoors you crave, explore the rugged Daniel Boone National Forest or the sandstone bluffs in the Red River Gorge Geological Area that make up just a small portion of the almost 2 million acres of public land in the state.
The best time to stay in a vacation rental in Kentucky
Sitting between the warmer climate zone of the south and the colder northern areas of the country, Kentucky finds itself with generally mild temperatures and pleasant weather conditions throughout much of the year. Summers can bring high humidity, and with that often comes dramatic thunderstorms that sweep the landscape. For summer festivities, the famous Kentucky State Fair takes place towards the end of August, and the International Bar-B-Q Festival takes place around mid-May in Owensboro for a taste of the hickory smoked meats and spicy vinegar-based BBQ sauces the region is known for.
The diverse deciduous forests break out in a brilliant display of autumn hues during the fall, which can be a great time to search for cabin rentals in Kentucky, as the temperatures tend to be the mildest during the shoulder seasons. With the winter comes slightly lower temperatures and a reduction in humidity. Regardless of the time of year, the state's levels of rainfall tend to stay relatively stable.

This rural countryside town is known as the Folk Arts & Crafts Capital of Kentucky. Artisans, artists, and creatives have flocked to this UNESCO Creative City for its tradition of supporting the arts since its earliest days as an English settlement.
