Very nice place. The seating area was small. We added a couple camp chairs to get by. About an hour to Mammoth Cave and only a mile to a marina. Fire pit worked fine and we did use the grill but had to use tin foil. Could use extra kitchen towels. Overall a good VRBO.

This house is so adorable! We loved staying here. We had our mother in law and two teens with us and we all fit comfortably. The girls loved the upstairs and loved that they had a place of their own. The house was clean and had everything you need. If we are ever in the area again we will definitely stay here.

Mixed review

Stay Awhile is cute and clean. Comfortable beds, well stocked kitchen. Games and puzzles are added bonus. The teens loved the loft. There is seating at the table with 6 stools. The home sleeps 6, but the common area has room only for 2-3 people to sit comfortably. The AC was welcome coming in from the heat. Saturday morning we were awoken by mowing at 6:30 am. (Obviously trying to get it done before it got hotter. July heat advisory meant we were limited with our outdoor plans. There were no indoors activities available nearby.

Beautiful cabin!

The cabin was absolutely beautiful and was the perfect amount of space for the 4 of us! We wish it was a little closer to the caves. Made for lots of driving after driving all the way from Michigan. Everything was awesome except for a mild ant problem, but the owners were very quick to respond and offered to bring us spray. We would recommend this VRBO to others!bring us spray.
