The home was super accommodating with activities for us and the children. The space was lovely and we had plenty of room to roam around inside and out. The area was clean and quiet. We would definitely stay again if we are ever in the area.

I've stayed at different properties, and none were better than this. The place was immaculate and perfect for entertaining or just relaxing. It's perfect for a family and pet friendly. It's situated in a very quiet and private location within walking distance of restaurants and coffee shop. Hosts are very friendly and responsive. Highly recommend! 5 stars in every regard! Thank you Blair and Jennifer!

Family Time

This house is amazing. It had so many things to make us feel at home. It was close to stores and my daughter. The only thing that would have made it perfect was a recliner chair.

Spacious and relaxing

There was plenty of room in this house with 4 bedrooms and 3 beds in one room. There were 2 living room spaces. We enjoyed the Keurig and flavored coffees, taking pics by the gazebo and pergola and pretty flowers. I enjoyed the short walk to downtown Barbourville. The beds were more comfortable than most with memory foam mattresses. There were a lot of little extras like super soft wash cloths, We used the dryer for clothes that got wrinkled. The kitchen was well stocked and when we looked for a ziplock bag, we even found that. It was perfect!

Home away from home

I brought my parents to Barbourville (their hometown) for a couple days. For years we have always had to stay in Corbin and were pleasantly surprised to find this VRBO property available. The pictures do not due the outdoor sitting area or home justice. Jennifer was a fantastic hostess and we did not want for anything! We will definitely stay here in the future 😊

Lustron House perfect for hiking or sightseeing getaway

Lustron House was one of our best VRBO experiences. Hosts were welcoming, with all that you need at the house. Lustron is roomy for several guests with very comfortable beds and furniture. It was centrally located to many hiking and adventuring locations. We saw Cumberland Falls and hiked other trails to waterfalls. We enjoyed the choices (adult and child) of several board games for evening fun. Also nice to relax in front of the fire at night. Oasis Pizza was a couple blocks away and was delicious. Thank you so much for a great getaway weekend!

Great for a wedding weekend!

Our son married a Barbourville girl and the ceremony was in Union College in Barbourville. The Lustron house was just perfect for us and a few friends to stay. The accommodations are on the upper scale and was spacious and roomy! We had an area to eat and visit, the fireplace room was perfect for lounging and the kitchen was just delightful! We had a wonderful time and look forward to our next visit!
