NEW! Pet-Friendly Brownsville Retreat w/ Porch!

Reviews

• Lovely place, close to many attractions

  4/5

  This place was even nicer than the pictures show. We really enjoyed it. My one and only critique is that with the mini-split hvac system in the main room, it’s impossible to have any privacy because you can’t shut bedroom doors off from the cooling/heating source. A bit of a design flaw. Overall really enjoyed this property though!

• Nice apartment

  4/5

  The apartment itself was great. Very clean inside and plenty of space for us and the pup. Currently, there is construction "next door" which is really right outside and there was quite a bit of construction mess when we were there, making it less desirable for our dog at the present time. The property manager was very accommodating on this point and made it right for us in the best way that they could. Be aware that the property is a little "out there" if you're looking for restaurants or distilleries, but perfect if you plan to spend all of your time at Mammoth Cave :)

• Cozy small family home

  4/5

  Enjoyed the weekend in this beautiful area at this cozy 2 bedroom 1 bath home. Beautifully decorated and sufficient space for our family of 4. Pet friendly home with plenty of grass areas to walk pets. Area is beautiful country. Didn’t bring our pets but will next time. All supplies provided making us feel right at home. Washer and dryer with supplies. Beds comfortable and cozy. No central air with ventilation in each room. Home cooled sufficiently by a large ductless heat pump system with remote in the open living room/ kitchen area quietly and quickly . A floor fan and ceiling fans provided in bedrooms assisted with cooling. Fans assisted with circulation of cool air throughout home pretty good. Bathroom had a ventilation vent so the temp stayed normal during showers. Some linens removed from beds to stay cool when sleeping. Very close to mammoth cave and Bowling Green. currently building 3-4 new apartments next door to the duplex. Zero noise complaints from construction. We were there for the weekend unsure during the week. Plenty of room to park. Easy to check in through the August app and lock home when leaving. Enjoyed our stay in this beautiful home. Felt safe in area. Would recommend to others and stay again if in area.

• Uncomfortable stay

  3/5

  While this property was very clean and the host was lovely (even bringing us a fan at 9pm), it was lacking in many ways. The kitchen is an important space for us while traveling and this kitchen did not have the basics (no s&p, spices, sugar, flour, oil). It lacked equipment like measuring cups, baking trays, knives (only steak and paring), scissors, tongs, dishwasher detergent.Small things are missing like hooks for towels and curtains to darken the bedrooms (only mini blinds and sheer curtains). The most difficult aspect is the heat/AC. There is one unit on the wall in the living room. Bedrooms are not vented so it was extremely hot in bedrooms even with doors open and fans on. This also meant that if one person wanted to go to bed early, they could not close door for privacy because it was sooooo hot. It was quite chilly in the living room with the unit blowing directly on you, but if the temp wasn’t set down to at least 68 degrees, the bedrooms were unbearable. We traveled with our small dogs, but really had no place to walk them. There is a very large apt type building going up next door so there is construction debris/dirt/rocks and lumber everywhere. The green areas were sparse and mostly course weeds (not great for small dogs). The only “grassy” area was right against the house but that put us right outside the other units bedroom windows. Because of construction, there was a porta-potty about 20 yards from our front door. Overall, this is not at all what we have experienced with VRBO over the years. Unfortunately, would not recommend.

  Manager's Response:

  Shannon, the homeowners were surprised to read your review, as they are accustomed to providing 5-star experiences, and would like to clarify the following:
  
  From the owners: "Shannon, thank you for staying with us! We are sorry that your stay fell short of expectations and that the temperature was not to your liking. We've had many guests in the unit at record high temperatures outside tell us that the HVAC unit was sufficient and that it kept the entire home cooled, so we were unaware that it was ever an issue. We were understanding of this, as everyone is different so, we provided a box fan immediately after they arrived. Upon request, we also brought several items for the kitchen while they stayed at the unit. We've never provided sugar (except for packets), oil, or flour, etc. Due to cross-contamination with other guests, we removed all of those items across all of our Airbnbs because of that and Covid19. However, we do provide coffee and tea because we know that is something most guests will use, whereas flour and oil are rare. We are sorry about the inconvience of the construction. We're building an additional apartment building on this site. The contractor is also an owner in this unit and does a great job keeping any debris or excess lumber/material in 1-2 spots on the property. We also let all guests know there is construction underway at the property as it is included in the welcome text and email. Our goal is to get that building completed as soon as we can! We work extremely hard to accommodate each guest as much as possible throughtout this process. We understand the frustration about not having a designated area for your pets to be in. We have never told guests that we had a gated yard their pets can roam freely on. Guests assume this and can be frustrated that they have to walk their dog outside on a leash instead. Thank you again for providing such valuable feedback!"

• 5/5

  We absolutely loved this Vrbo. Not only was the house super clean and very comfortable, it was also conveniently close to all attractions and restaurants that we went to. We would highly recommend this Vrbo to other guests/visitors to the area. Michelle the property manager was super nice and helped make our stay very nice.
