You Can Sleep and Meet Mini Cows at This Farmhouse Airbnb in Kentucky

Whoever coined the phrase: life is better on a farm, knows that spending time in the countryside can cure our souls. Waking up in a destination with peaceful, misty mornings, watching the sunrise over grassy fields, and animals grazing in the distance, is like a dream come true - well, at least for most of us. 

Luckily, Kentucky is blessed with miles of serene countryside, where we can escape the noise of everyday life, unwind, and soak up every fleeting moment. And there is a peaceful farm getaway in Elizabethtown where all that is possible. Not only is this farmhouse Airbnb in Kentucky a destination to relax, but the barnyard animals will make your stay unforgettable. Bring your fur baby and your entire family for a peaceful weekend in the country.   

Welcome to Mini Cow Cottage, your next vacation destination in Kentucky! Here, you’ll find a quaint two-bedroom bungalow with everything you need for a comfortable stay. Tucked on a small animal farm with mini Highland and High Park cattle, a horse, and friendly barnyard cats, you’re in for a relaxing but fun weekend. As one recent guest raved, “The farm itself is such a delight, with the sweetest animals! I adored petting the friendly farm cats, and having the horse and mini cows come right up to the fence to say hello was such a special experience.” Chances are, after your weekend here, you too will have glowing reviews.  

The rustic two-bedroom, one-bathroom home boasts a comfy king-size and a queen-sized bed and sleeps a total of four guests. So, if you’re traveling with kids or you’re looking for a destination for a couple’s getaway, this is the place for you. I like that the rooms are spacious with natural lighting and have views of the serene landscape. I can imagine how peaceful it is waking up to the soothing hums of the countryside.

Your mornings can be spent making breakfast in the fully stocked kitchen that has everything to prepare meals, smoothies, and coffee. A lot of thought went into designing the open-air floor plan that allows you to effortlessly entertain guests from the kitchen while they sit and watch TV in the living room. Other amenities include Wi-Fi, a dedicated workspace, and lots of room to relax and get cozy.

While inside the cottage is warm and inviting, you’ll be spending most of your time outdoors. There, you’ll find front and back furnished covered porches, perfect for watching the sunrise or sunsets. But that’s not all! You can take morning or afternoon walks by the serene pond and explore the nearby walking trails. After a long day, guests can cozy up next to the fire pit, roast marshmallows, and gaze at the twinkling night sky. 

But what makes this cottage truly special is seeing and petting the barnyard animals every day. While you stay, you’ll meet Bo and his brother Jesse (the kitties), who enjoy greeting and interacting with the guests. The adorable cows will be ready to meet you, too. If you have the kids, they will especially love meeting the animals and playing with the cats. Your fur pal will have a blast as well, just be sure to keep them on their leash for safety.

You could easily spend an entire day on the farm with the cute mini cows and horses, but I’d recommend that you carve out time to explore the area. Within minutes of the cottage, there are restaurants, shops, and live entertainment in Elizabethtown or Bardstown. For those who enjoy adult cocktails, you’ll be delighted to know that the rental is close to the Kentucky Bourbon Trail. You can visit several distilleries for tours, tastings, and take home one (or two) bottles of that good ol’ Kentucky bourbon. 

Treat the little one to a hike through the Bernheim Forest and Arboretum to cross fairytale bridges and see the magical forest giants. Once you’ve explored all the fun attractions in the area, return to your comfy retreat for a night of peaceful rest. The best part? You can wake up to the mini cows, cats, the horse, and the serene pond, and relive this dreamy day again.   

The next time you need to escape your daily schedule for a relaxing weekend in the country, consider this farmhouse Airbnb in Kentucky. Not only will you be able to recharge your batteries, but you’ll also be making some lasting memories.
