This cabin was so much more than we hoped for. A relaxing quiet New Year’s Eve and birthday stay is what we were looking for and American Barn was the perfect place. We will definitely be back as we make trips through the area often. Thank you for your amazing hospitality and the use of your amazing place!

We enjoyed our stay at the Barn. It was the perfect size for the two of us and included everything we needed for a weekend away. It was very clean. We also enjoyed the fresh eggs and breakfast foods provided for us. The Barn was located within a reasonable distance to everything we wanted to do and see in Louisville.

This cozy cabin was great for an overnight getaway.

This was the perfect little cabin to stay in that kept us happy and cozy. It was nestled back in a secluded forested area and their home was lovely. Their hospitality and thoughtfulness went above and beyond! From the fresh eggs to the whirlpool. We were in bliss and not far from the city sights! We would definitely visit again!

The owners were very nice... which is good because you are just off there house. They respected our privacy and when you closed the blinds you could easily sleep in darkness and privacy. The house is tiny but easily big enough for a weekend stay. Perfect for a romantic hideaway to stay while you had your adventures in Louisville. Also, it did feel like you were a little outside of the city while being 5 minutes away from everything. We would make it our first choice if we come to Louisville again. Also, fresh eggs and chickens were a plus!

Was a wonderful place at a great price. Everything was spotless. Even though 15 - 20 min from downtown Louisville and close to owners felt isolated like in the woods. Lot of extras such as farm fresh eggs, jellies, bread, bacon, fruit and juice for breakfast as well as chocolates at bedside. Provided towells for pool and jetted tub which were also very clean. The owners take great pride and care with this property. Would definately reccommend and use again.

It was thoughtful of our hosts to leave fresh eggs from their chickens, orange juice and fruit along with bread for breakfasts. They were very responsive, and even though their home is located very close to the cabin, they weren't intrusive at all!

Where to start... this was an AMAZING stay and I feel like I was SO LUCKY this was available for our stay. Marquetta and Jerry are the absolute BEST hosts! Everything is meticulously kept from the drive pulling up, to the "barn", yard it is just absolutely beautiful place. Everything in listing is true including the breakfast stocked for you which in itself is an amazing touch. I LOVED being able to talk to the "girls" (hens) every morning and evening just like I do my "girls" at home. Located convenient to everything especially Waverly Hills which is what we were down for. They have TONS of books and magazines on the area and KY in general so if you are at a loss of things to do it is YOUR fault so many great ideas! Their book of "faves" as far as dinning options are SPOT ON and I will second the suggestion of Marks Feed Store that food is INCREDIBLE probably the BEST brisket I have ever had and their Burgoo OH MY LANTA I didn't know that Burgoo was a "thing" let me tell you not only is it a "thing" but it is an INCREDIBLE "thing" that I HIGHLY recommend! Marquetta and Jerry are fantastic and I will be staying with them any time that I am back in the area just the 2 of us. This place is just fantastic and I would give it 10 stars if I could. Thank YOU so very much for making our stay one to remember there was nothing I would reccomend to make it any better as it was PERFECT! Quiet, safe, convenient, and the sweetest hosts you could ask for!

Such a cute place with sweet little extras, like fresh eggs! Loved the stay!

We come to Louisville from southern Illinois to celebrate my wife’s birthday. When we first booked this place, we were a little apprehensive about it being essentially in the backyard of the owner, however, there’s enough space to where you feel like you have your own place and we did meet the owners and they were super sweet, and this place was super clean when we arrived, and had all the little extras that one would not even expect at a VRBO. The only thing I could complain about would be the bed and it’s not really a complaint per se, but we have a California king at our house and it’s a queen size bed here it is super soft, so if you like that kind of thing there you go , I prefer a little bit more of a firmer mattress. Honestly, this was a 5 Star Pl. and we would definitely stay again.

We were stopping over in Louisville on the way to visit family and couldn't be happier with our stay at this property. It is a delightful cabin with everything you need - and more - to be comfortable and enjoy yourselves. It was immaculate, access was easy, and the owners have thought of everything to make your stay wonderful. The eggs were delicious! Thanks for a great stay!

VRBO did NOT disappoint! America’s Barn is a literal barn turned into a fabulous suite with a full kitchen, whirlpool tub, and every amenity you could ask for… including chickens on site with fresh eggs every morning! It’s beautifully decorated and everywhere we turn there’s something more to see! Would absolutely stay again and recommend to anyone wanting a quiet, peaceful stay. The owners are onsite next door and were extremely friendly and helpful. Would definitely stay again.

Perfectly located outside the city; about a 15-20 minute drive depending on your destination. Very cute cottage and the breakfast provided was great! We would recommend!
5.0
This place is so dang cute! They thought of all the little details. It was so thoughtful to leave breakfast supplies right down to butter and jelly. There’s small soaps, shampoos, etc.. You only need to bring your clothes. It’s very clean and welcoming. The atmosphere is very calming and relaxing. Hosts are very nice. If we are traveling again anywhere near, this will be the 1st place we reserve. Thank you so much for making the last leg of our trip so relaxing. Hoping to see you again. Thank you! Randy and Sheila Sugden

We enjoyed our stay in the cabin. Everything was as shown in the listing. The hosts were great and we enjoyed the fresh eggs. Our favorite part was sitting on the porch in the evening enjoying the view.

We had a great stay at Jerry and Marquette’s Chicken Coop. The only place we’ve ever stayed where you can meet the producer of the eggs you get for breakfast. The chickens were right next door and they were very accommodating. The cottage is ideal for two people. It is clean and well-kept. Our hosts have thought of everything that visitors could need and they have provided it, including a dozen very fresh home grown eggs. The best part of the trip is visiting with our hosts. They are friendly and welcoming. We loved staying here. Premier hosts on VRBO are truly premier. You can’t go wrong if you stay with a premiere host.

Perfect little spot for a getaway. Very comfortable and homey. Everything we needed at the rental was provided. They left us fresh eggs from their chicken as well. Didn't need to worry about bringing soaps for showering, they had travel size and samples of shampoo, conditioner body bars and face bars. Nice and quiet property!
4.0
Stay was good; had everything we needed plus the fresh eggs, bread, and juice were extremely nice. We arrived after dark, and the property was not easy to locate. At first, we were concerned with how close to town the property was. (We live more in the countryside than this location.) We were thinking it would be more secluded. However, we quickly realized that there wasn’t any traffic noise or any other distractions. Our stay was relaxing, and we got exactly what we needed: time away together relaxing. Thanks for helping us to chillax away from home!

We wanted something away from downtown, quite and like home.Americas Barn was just that.We live outside of our city on acreage with chickens and farm fresh eggs in the morning are the best.So once I saw this property it was a no brainer.I feel places like this take more pride and are cleaner then hotels.Def recommend people staying here if they like piece and quiet and great hospitality.We will Be back soon

Cabin is in residential area, bordering on forested area. Private and quiet. Owner is very accommodating. As there were no guests immediately before or after our stay, he offered early checkin and late departure at no additional cost. The fresh eggs, loaf of bread and bacon, along with fresh fruit were greatly appreciated. The Keurig coffee and chocolates were also welcome treats. We would certainly rent the cabin again whenever returning to Louisville.
