Quick stay at the lake
We stayed at Whipsaw while visiting Mammoth Cave (part of our trip to Nashville area). The cottage was clean, comfortable, peaceful (with the exception of the heavy thunderstorms that rolled thru our first night). Nice place to stay…just make sure you have some groceries, because it’s a few miles back to Brownsville

Perfect getaway spot
We had a wonderful time at Whipsaw. The location was perfect for our needs. We visited Mammoth Caves several times during our short stay. The Green River Ferry was open so the drive to the visitor's center was very reasonable, as well as beautiful. The cabin was perfectly stocked with everything we needed. We grilled each night on the gas grill. We discovered the towel warmer in the bathroom and were tickled because we had never seen or used one before. The front porch was covered and relaxing with plenty of room to sit. There is also a back deck and a fire pit. The deer came to visit each morning. The only negative was our fault because I didn't read the directions to the cabin and relied on our gps, which took us to Hilltop Road, which was a washed out gravel road. Make sure you take Lake Shore Road which is paved (and read Ken's directions). Aside from that, we had a wonderful time and would definitely go back. Thank you Ken and Nancy!

Great house near Mammoth Caves
Great property near Mammoth Caves. Well stocked, comfortable house with great balcony. The master bedroom bed was very firm and comfortable, and the shower was great. Second bed was a pull-out sofa in the living room, but was great for the kids. Mammoth Caves visitor center was approximately 40 minutes away, but it was a pretty drive. Overall we really enjoyed the stay!

Beautiful Home
My only complaint about our stay, the directions, given to us by the owner and on GPS tell you to turn on Hilltop, unless you want your vehicle tore up go straight and GPS will take you around that road. We had a hard time getting up and down that road in our 4-wheel drive truck. If we would have come in our car, we would not have made it. The property, home, furnishings were absolutely beautiful, great bed, everything we needed for a comfortable stay was there.

Great getaway
We loved the quietness of the property. We often saw groups of deer and there was a family of stray cats as well. The outdoor space was what atrracted me to this property in the first place. The owners really paid attention to detail with their decor as well as amentities stocked, such as coffee.

I enjoyed staying here! I would recommend updating checkout instructions to show that there is no dishwasher in the cabin. Also the outside trashcan I would be more specific if it needs to stay where it was at or it needs to be moved.
