Kid-friendly holiday rentals in Barren County

Location, Location, Location. I can't imagine being closer to the park without actually being in the park. The house was cozy yet spacious if that makes sense. The house has some essentials, (spices, dishwasher pods and detergent, shampoo, body wash) but no laundry detergent, so you need to bring some if you plan on using the clothes washer. An IGA and save a lot are about 20 minutes out, but they don't have a great selection, stock up on groceries elsewhere. Communication with the owner was quick on our first night when we couldn't figure out how to use the shower. I would stay here again if I'm ever back in the area. And by the way, Mammoth cave was amazing.

Our family so enjoyed staying in this beautiful home! It was close to Mammoth Cave and the setting with the fields was so peaceful and relaxing! The kids loved catching fireflies as we sat out and watched the sunset in the evening. The home had plenty of space for family and it was so well-kept and clean! Gwynne was so hospitable and helpful when we needed it. Definitely recommend a stay here!!

The hosts were excellent at communication! Location is extremely close to Mammoth Cave as well as Park City and Cave City which is where you will most likely be dining and shopping. Already looking to potentially rebook this cabin!

Our family of 4 loved this quiet, peaceful house. The house was very clean, and we appreciated having bunk beds for the kids as well as a separate living area with TV for us to spread out. We stayed over a week to explore Mammoth Cave National Park as well as 7 other caves, including 2 just over the Indiana border. This location is great also because it puts you on the southern side of MCNP, with only a 20 minute drive to the visitor center. Walmart is 12 minutes away, gas/fast food around 7 minutes. We would absolutely stay here again if we ever returned to the area.

Very nice place. Well definitely try to get it again when we're in the area

Such a cute home! I brought my family from out of state to spend a long weekend touring Mammoth Cave National Park and this was the perfect space! A quiet, beautiful space that was exactly what we needed and wanted for our trip. Attractions were about 20+mins out which we preferred. The space had everything needed to feel right at home and there was so much room! We had the best time and I would 10/10 recommend 😃

This was an amazing stay! You could feel the cleanliness as soon as you walked in the door and it smelled amazing! Easy to find and get inside! Anala was very responsive and so kind! We stayed here to go to Mammoth Cave National Park and it was only a 25 minute drive, super close and convenient, would definitely stay again!!

House is close to Mammoth Cave Park and very peaceful. Enjoyed our stay and would definitely rent again. Thanks for sharing your home!

We enjoyed our stay!! Perfect location by the square. We were able to walk to everything!!

We loved staying here! It was beautiful & we couldn’t have asked for a better place to stay!

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ An effortlessly cool, clean, and welcoming stay! From the moment I walked in, I could feel the care and intention behind this space. The decor was modern, stylish, and calming — like something out of a boutique magazine, but still totally livable and cozy. Everything was spotless (seriously, not a dust bunny in sight), and all the little touches made it feel special without being overdone. The host was incredibly friendly and responsive, striking that perfect balance of being available but not intrusive. Check-in was seamless, and the vibe of the whole experience was relaxed and easygoing. If you're looking for a space that feels both elevated and homey, clean and cool, with just the right amount of personality — this is it. I’d absolutely stay here again in a heartbeat!

I had a great time at Sam’s place. It’s clean and very close to WKU campus.

Was a cute place to stay. Convenient to Mammoth Cave and to Bowling Green. The train was not a issue. There are fans and a sound machine. Ear plugs are also provided. Highly recommend.

I highly recommend this location for distance to Mammoth Cave, Dinosaur World, Kentucky Down Under and restaurants. Yet it is private and serene. Playground out back, swings around the fire pit and friendly little barn cats. We had everything we needed! Our hosts were very friendly and helpful!

Had a small issue with ants in the kitchen area due to a rainstorm the night we arrived, but otherwise the place worked perfectly for us on our trip to the national park.

Really enjoyed my stay. Good location, lots around you to take advantage of, and the place was very well set up for me when I got there. Super convenient check in process. Would absolutely stay again!

awesome stay with an awesome host! more than accommodating with walking distance to a bunch of local establishments. my wife and I enjoyed our stay and had a wonderful time exploring the community!

I arrived early. Was accommodated and let in early. . The place was clean. Everything worked.there were 0 issues the entire time i was there. Close to every shopping thing you can imagine. Would deff stay again.

My husband and I loved our stay at this beautiful home! We look forward to another visit in the near future.

Beautiful, spacious rental in a safe area. Check in was easy and we felt at home.

This property was extremely well maintained. It was convenient to everything we wanted to do for Western Kentucky University's graduation weekend. Highly recommend!!!

The space was great! Very modern setting, very clean as well. We walked the square every night. The host left some notes on her favorite spots to check out. We checked out most on the list and were not disappointed. The local bands played in the bar downstairs until 1am. They were super loud but the host left headphones! So my husband was able to sleep and be well rested for his class everyday!

Very quiet neighborhood. Walking distance to downtown. Plenty of parking.

This was a clean 2 bedroom apartment. It was very close to down town Bowling Green and a safe location. It was easy to get in and out of and was great for our 4 night stay. The beds were comfortable and the unit had all we needed (washer/dryer, dishes, kitchen equipment, iron, etc)
