Disliked: Cleanliness
The room was adequately furnished, and the bed was comfortable enough. However, there was an unpleasant odor in the property. The smaller coffee cups are not big enough to use with the Keurig-style coffee maker. I learned this the hard way by overfilling a cup and having to clean up coffee that spilled all over the counter. We had originally planned to spend two nights in the property, but we left on the second evening and drove home instead. Due to the odor, I would not recommend this property.

We enjoyed our stay here. The apartment was clean, cozy, and nicely furnished. I also appreciated it was private with a small fenced-in front yard. Check-in was easy. It’s also conveniently located to Mammoth Caves (about a 20 minute drive to the visitors center).

Wonderful stay
This was a wonderful place to stay while visiting mammoth cave. Myself and my boyfriend stayed here and we loved it. It is quiet and peaceful while still being close to Mammoth Cave. We also loved the town, it has a cute coffee shop just up the street from this place and many small, local places to eat. We went to Cave City to see some things and we drove away feeling so happy we stayed here instead of a hotel in Cave City. This place was like a little oasis and I would recommend it to anyone looking to stay in the area, especially while visiting Mammoth Cave. Communicating with the host was fast and easy and the place was very clean.

Perfect place for a trip to mammoth cave!
Stayed here for a weekend trip at mammoth cave, and it was perfect. Bed was so comfy, especially after cave hiking, and the amenities were clean and just what was needed. Super quiet and just the right size. Could not hear the neighbors in the Vrbo next to us. About 20 minutes from the visitor center at mammoth cave (where tours start) and no ferry needed! Only down side was it was a little difficult to find, but I blame that partly on the fact that we got there after dark in pretty heavy rain. Check in and out directions were easy and communicated early. Would stay here again!

Lovely studio apartment
This was a very comfortable apartment. In a quiet, small town near Mammoth Cave. Bowling Green is a short drive through the country. Host was responsive and check in was a breeze. Very comfy bed as well.

Our son got married in Smiths Grove and with very few hotel options nearby, we found this VRBO luckily. It provided exactly what we needed. Super clean, quiet and safe. The bed was very comfortable. The owner was exceptionally responsive to questions. I would definitely recommend this place!

Quiet & Comfortable
I thoroughly enjoyed my stay at this quiet, studio apartment. The place was very clean and all basic amenities were provided (towels, sheets, pillows, etc.). The bed was the typical memory foam-type mattress that most rentals have these day, and was comfortable. Keep in mind that the mini-fridge is truly just a fridge, no little freezer compartment. The location of the rental was right off Main Street, Brownsville, but it is tucked behind a much larger building, so you don't hear the traffic when inside the rental. There is a small, fenced in yard with a grill and patio furniture. It is accessed via a gate immediately off where you will park. I came for the Mammoth Cave tours and other local hiking. It was an easy 20 minute drive to Mammoth Cave National Park. It was about 30 minutes from Bowling Green.

Great small little town and nice apartment!
Had a very good time in the small little town of Brownsville! Out of the way of any big city, but easy enough to get to Bowling Green or Mammoth Cave National Park and short enough drives to Elizabethtown and Louisville. Enjoyed our stay at the nice little apartment. Had all the amenities that we needed. Also, recommend eating at PJ's Cafe! So if you're looking for a nice place to stay close enough to Bowling Green or the National Park, definitely book the Hickory & Bee.

Retreat near Mammoth Cave NP
What a lovely and relaxing place to come home to after a day of hiking/caving. This one room sanctuary is just as pictured. It was big enough but cozy. There are few restaurants in Brownsville (and one great grocery store that closes at 7PM) so you need to come stocked (or plan to go to Bowling Green KY for meals). The condo comes with a small fridge and a microwave. (A toaster oven would be a great addition). The backyard is a private sitting space - lovely and comfortable. The bed was comfy! A perfect hideaway for 1 or 2 adults.
