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 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.

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!

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!

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.

It is a delightful cabin with everything you need - and more - to be comfortable and enjoy yourselves.

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.

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!
