Nonna's place is so perfect!
Great spot to stay and explore the Bowling Green area. It's a little noisy because it's right by the road, but turn on the fan or something and it's fine. The cows are very friendly and don't make any noise. Everything was spotlessly clean.

Totally enjoyed our stay in the Bowling Green area. Nonna's Place is very well kept and easy to feel right at home. Out in the country which made evenings very quite when enjoying the evenings outside but easy access to local attractions.

Perfect place to stay!
We loved our stay at Nonna's place! This pole barn is so spacious and clean and very tastefully decorated! It is also located on a beatiful property overlooking the fields. Our daughter loved visiting the cows, they were so cute and friendly. I would highly recommend! We come to Kentucky for LS Fest almost every year and this has been our favorite place to stay by far!

The once pole barn has been turned into a beautiful, cozy place. It was great to sit and relax. God’s scenery outside was like a beautiful painting. I loved being greeted by our 3 cow neighbors that love bread. Many memories made!!!

Amazing find and centrally located
Brother and I stayed for a few days to visit Bowling Green and Mammoth Caves. This place we perfectly situated to visit both. Met the owner as we pulled in and got some last minute instructions. Great layout for the two of us- the place looked as if it had just been remodeled, and had all the right things in the kitchen for our cooking needs.

The house was extremely clean and felt very homey. The rooms are bigger then they appear in the picture. It's in a quiet, safe, rural area, but close to the interstate and centerally located, allowing us to visit other regions of KY. 10/10!

Short Vacation
The location for us was perfect. Its midway between Bowling Green and Manmouth Cave National Park. Rural setting which our family prefers. Was super clean and the car port came in very handy when it decided to cut loose and pour down rain. Plenty of room to spread out after a long day of cave exploring or site seeing. I would stay again if we are in the area.

Rural peaceful, close to Caves and Bowling Green.
Our family stayed for a few days in late June 2024. The property is immaculately clean. The parking is under a roof which was nice protecting us from the rain and the hot Kentucky sun. The farm is peaceful. The family who own the property super friendly. We enjoyed our stay. Many thanks for making the property available for our use.

Amazing stay!
We absolutely loved Nonna's Place! It was so clean and comfy. We felt right at home there. I highly recommend staying here. The beds were comfy and there is plenty of seating in the living room space. The sweet cows were an extra bonus. They provided a sound machine to help with the road noise. Thank you for a wonderful stay! Plus it is literally a few minutes from the new Buc-ees, I just wish it would have been open while we were there. Stay here and you won't be disappointed!

We had such a great stay at Nonna’s place! I planned this weekend getaway for my boyfriend’s birthday. Neither of us had been to Mammoth Cave in many years. I found Nonna’s Place on VRBO and it looked and sounded amazing! I’m so glad we stayed here! It was clean, comfortable and felt like home. We look forward to visiting again soon!

Wonderful place!
Super clean, quiet little place. Perfect for a small family. Beautifully built, short drive to Mammoth Cave, and great host!
Hubby had a little trouble sleeping the first night because the building is close to the road, so you hear vehicles passing, but it’s not bad unless you’re a super light sleeper. The kids (7 & 9) loved the game corner and the cows! Bed was really comfortable and it was more than enough space for the 4 of us. So glad we stayed here and would definitely recommend.
