Had a great stay at this terrific property. The suite was well-appointed and it's obvious the hosts have put in a good deal of thought about the guest experience. Special thanks to Mandi for taking time to talk with me about the other areas of the hotel, too! I'm already looking forward to my next booking.

We have stayed at several different places in the Leitchfield area. This one, by far, takes the cake! The apartment was absolutely stunning when we walked in. Very clean and luxurious feeling. We will definitely be returning guests next time we visit Leitchfield!

As an AirBnB owner ourselves, we are always looking for places that are upscale and have all the bells and whistles…..THIS PLACE IS AMAZING!!! The host goes above and beyond with comfort, amenities, and communication. The design and decorative style of the property are some of the best we have seen. Look no further for a place because this place has it all and then some!

5 Star luxury accommodations in the heart of a small town. My husband and daughter made our first trip to this adorable town and were blown away by Mandi’s newly refurbished hotel. Our suite was more like a small modern luxury home. Beautiful furnishings, luxury bath, full modern kitchen. Felt like we were staying in an Architectural Digest spread. And they have a theater next door and a fantastic restaurant and bar on the main floor. This is a perfect place for a girls weekend or a corporate retreat.

Y’all this place is such a find! We stayed in the McKinzie suite and it was perfect. High ceilings, perfectly curated decor, a cozy fireplace, and the relaxing patio are some of the things we loved. We were able to see stars and lighting bugs while we sat on the patio in the evening. We enjoyed walking to the coffee shop and the new Steak and Stone restaurant just below. Out itinerary took us to Mammoth Cave (45”) and it honestly was a pretty and scenic drive dotted with barns and rolling fields. You can tell the owners love their town and are committed to making your stay excellent. Come be a part of small town revitalization!
