A great quiet location that is centrally located amongst the bourbon trail. We used this location and visited Bardstown, Louisville, and Lexington areas and it was great! Loved coming back after a long day and relaxing in the hot tub! Highly recommend!

Catbird seat on the Bourbon Trail
This cozy, quiet cottage is immaculate, well-appointed & ideally situated. Most stops on the KY Bourbon Trail are just a short drive in any direction on winding, picturesque roads. After a day of touring & tasting, watching deer and fireflies from the back porch and listening to the sounds of the lake were the perfect night-cap. Thank you for a lovely stay!
Squeaky clean, beautiful view of lake, private & quiet resort.
We were all very happy with this house. It was stocked with everything we needed and was very clean. The beds were very comfortable with nice, soft sheets. The location was gorgeous. Pictures don't do it justice. There's a beautiful view of the lake from the kitchen and deck. They had all of the different TV subscriptions which was so nice. The resort was very quiet and clean. We will definitely go back again!

Cozy cottage, with beautiful views!
We truly enjoyed our stay. The cottage is perfect for two couples and was clean as well as incredibly quiet. Great for those looking to spend time outdoors as there is a lake right up the road. About a 30 minute drive from downtown Louisville and 20 minutes to numerous distilleries, great location! We were in town for the Derby and were so glad we settled on this location!! Only suggestion to the owner would be to supply an iron for guests as when traveling its impossible not to have wrinkled clothes! Other than that, everything was great!!

Thanks Brooke! We will purchase an iron as soon as possible! We appreciate your feedback! You were a wonderful guest as well ! Hope to have you back in the future!
I’ve enjoyed coming to Taylorsville Lake now several times. The resort is quiet. With the gate at the front of the resort I feel safe and have come a few times by myself. The cottages are wonderful. I find most of them to be equipped with many amenities that I don’t need to pack. The area is serene and has become my sanctity. I’ll be back!

The Cottage was perfect!
We are 5 long time High School friends that wanted a place to meet in the middle for a weekend getaway, some of us from WI some from GA. When we found this cottage we felt it was perfect. After 6-7 hours of driving this place did not disappoint. The living area and kitchen were more then big enough for all us to hang out comfortably. Sleeping arrangements were perfect. The view was amazing and we couldn't believe how quiet it was. The location is perfect and the drive to Louisville was easy, only took about 35 minutes. I highly recommend staying here.

Not the best way to enjoy Kentucky
Three of my closest friends came out to Kentucky to enjoy the bourbon trail and have a relaxing time away from the kids for a weekend. We are all over 40 and wanted to enjoy the countryside, watch football, and relax after walking the trails all day! This little rental had high reviews so I booked it. It was close to the lake with a hot tub and enough space for all of us. But upon closer inspection we had issues.
The house was dirty, like it hadn’t been cleaned before we got there let alone in weeks. There were cobwebs on all the light fixtures. The hallway toilet was really hard to flush. The kitchen sink water didn’t get hot. On the front porch the rope lights were all falling down and we almost tripped on them carrying our luggage in. The windows all had BUGS caked on the edges and on the glass. You couldn’t open any windows without a spider web being right in your face. The sliding doors from the master to the deck was nothing but spider webs and bugs caked all over the doors. The deck was another story all together, the amount of bugs and spider webs out there was something from a haunted house! We tried to clear some of them out to use the hot tub but it wasn’t for the feint of heart. At night the bugs were insane and the owner left nothing to combat them…not even a fly swatter. I contacted the owner but got no response. We wanted desperately to use the hot tub but with the swarm of bugs that was impossible,then they got in the house and we had no way to get them out
We really enjoyed our stay at the Seabiscuit! It was bright, clean, and welcoming. We appreciated the thoughtful features of the cottage - from the smart TVs and charging station to the lovely welcome note and treat! The location was wonderful for us, with the resort road being quiet enough for short morning dog walks, before heading out for longer outdoor adventures. Taylorsville State Park was less than 10 minutes away with nice options for hiking. Louisville was about a half hour away, giving us access to any sort of outdoor or indoor experience we could want. A lovely, peaceful place to relax after a busy day - especially if we would have made time for the hot tub. Next time. Thank you, Natalya and Suzanne!
We enjoyed our stay in a perfect lakehouse in a quiet area. The view was gorgeous with the fall colors, house was tidy, and the hot tub was clean and worked well.
Love this tidy little cottage. We visit here often and always enjoy our stay. I love that pets are welcome, even though we let Fido stay home this time. This property is well appointed with large TV's which is a must for my husband. There is a very handy charging station for all digital devices and the kitchen is adequately stocked for casual meal prep. We will return to this property again!
We had a great time at this quiet retreat! We were able to easily get to Louisville and the countryside for our Bourbon Trail needs. The space for 2 couples (4 adults) was great -- two beds, two baths, great space for eating & entertaining PLUS a hottub!
This was a cute little cabin that fit our needs traveling with our dog. It was clean and comfortable. The back deck was nice but had peeling paint and would be so much nicer if repainted.
We loved our stay at Seabiscuit! Communication with management was clear, prompt, and always so courteous! Check-in and checkout were a breeze. The cottage was very clean and exactly as pictured. We were very comfortable there and enjoyed the space. The resort area was well-kept and very serene. We loved the view of the lake and the night sky from the hot tub on the deck. The cottage is just a quick drive away from a well-stocked grocery store as well as carryout locations - so you're set whether you want to cook or not! We were also able to spend a day in Louisville since it's a reasonable drive away (about 35 minutes). We would definitely stay here again!

Beautiful cottage. Very clean and nice location. We had a great time and would love to come back sometimes.
The property was really nice with a good view of the marina. Even though it rained a lot it was still a nice trip. My dog really enjoyed the stay as well which is always a plus.
Such a cozy, tidy cottage with beautiful surroundings. Always enjoy our stay here. Special thanks for the very nice TVs in Living Area and Bedrooms! And, of course, allowing us to bring our pooch. =)
We had a great time and hope to return when warmer.
Everything was excellent considering the weather. Only issue was Hot Tub was our main reason for going and it was dirty and under filled. We had to add water and that kept us fom using it the second night and the morning before we left as it did not get warm enough.

Amy we are sorry for those hot tub issues! We check the hot tubs before every stay and if the chemical balance was off we would have alerted you and drained and refilled it . In the winter time the hot tubs do take a long time to get back up to heat when the temperature goes down, it is a combination of the cold weather and the fact that the hot tub does not warm and run the jets at the same time, often people do not know this, but it is written in our cottage welcome book so guest know.I never heard from you about this issue so I couldn't do everything in my power to fix it , but I promise you I would have if I have known. Thanks for the review.
Wonderful experience. Wish we could have stayed longer. Everything was great. Super clean property. Property manager was super friendly and easy to work with. We will be back for sure!
With COVID, we were so stressed about finding a good spot to get a way to without flying, but this ended up being the perfect little cottage! It was a drive to get to the nearest cities, but none of that mattered with a view like they had, the hot tub, the over all feel of the cottage! We didn't even want to leave!
