Blue Moon Cottage was a great place for our get away!! The kitchen was well equipped so we were able to fix dinner both nights. Pool was not open for the season yet. The host was great to work with and very quick to respond. Jouse was big enough for some family to gather and enjoy each comfortably. Definitely will have to try and stay here again when the pool is open. The decor of the house was so cute. So overall I scored huge brownie points with my fiancé and her family for getting this place!

Great layout and amenities for multiple families

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.

Beautiful home in Owensboro

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!

House was spotless. Remodeled and furnished beautifully. More spacious than photos show. It was too cool for us to enjoy the pool but the fire table on the back porch was perfect for a chilly night. The neighborhood is picturesque. The kitchen was small but had everything we needed and more. Host provided thoughtful and sufficient amenities. Stayed with family (4 adults and 5 kids 1-6 years old) and had the best weekend. So much better staying here than a hotel in separate rooms. 10/10 recommended and will be rebooking.

Good find in Owensboro.

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!
