Great getaway

We used this VRBO as a bit of a mini moon to celebrate our wedding from the weekend before and wow did we stumble across a gem! I wanted to plan a little getaway that wasn’t too far (we’re from Indiana) and had a pool. The cottage ticked all the boxes and ones we didn’t even know we had. The property was beautiful to walk around and the activities were so fun. Playing badmitton, swimming, waking the acres, grilling by the fire pit was a blast! And the location is perfect, Lebanon has a delightful small town vibe but still everything you could need. A Walmart and pharmacies within 5 min i case you forgot things, local eateries, wineries, bourbon, and a local bar with karaoke on Friday nights. The downtown is only a .5 mile walk from the cottage and has a farmers market that we used to get steaks and potatoes to grill on Saturday night. On top of all that the hosts are amazing. They were so friendly and helpful, but stayed out of your hair and let you enjoy your stay. He even lit the fire pit for us at night when we headed down. If you need any local suggestions or just want to chat they are full of friendly advice and stories. Chris has crafted and continues to improve on a wonderful property and its safe to say my wife and i will want to visit again.

A Hidden Gem

Ticky's Cottage is one of the best homes that I have ever stayed at through VRBO. The host, Big C thought of every little thing that a guest may need. He is personable and will be there in a flash if you need anything. The kitchen is well stocked, the bathroom was spotless with many towels, soap, hairdryer, cups, etc. The living room has a wonderful couch and big screen tv. We did not use the tv but it is listed as a smart tv and I assume it too is in good working condition. There is also another large recliner that rocks. You may want to ask Big C how to operate this chair to stabalize the chair so it doesn't rock. The bedrooms were also comfortable and had a large dresser, lights and ample hangers and pillows. There were several charing outlets for computer and phones. The WiFi worked very well and had ample connections throughout the house. You won't be disappointed with this lovely 'home away from home' in a rural part of KY. Don't pass it up, you will regret it if you do!

Country Oasis

The property is beautiful and although the weather wasn’t ideal for our week stay, we enjoyed it very much. The quietness of a retreat and the creek with the wildlife airings was great. Easy location to many area attractions from farmer market to shopping. We highly recommend staying here!

Kentucky Vacation

I came down for Las Vegas, NV to visit my sister in Gravel Switch, KY and we stayed at the quant cottage in Lebanon! We all enjoyed the cottage, the pool, the spacious yard and the fire pit! The host was more than accommodating and I highly recommend anyone who’s looking for a great place to stay to book this cottage! Loved it!

A Most Beautiful Place Developed by A Most Kind and Determined Man

My husband and I were incredibly pleased with our stay. The property is absolutely beautiful and speaking with the owner and learning everything he has put into the property made it that much more beautiful. The cottage was fully stocked with everything you need, you just need to bring food to stock the fridge. We look forward to our next stay and excited to see the owner and what more he has added to his amazing property.
