About this property

Historic Home Farm Stay in the Heart of Bourbon Country

Welcome to The Harbison House! This newly renovated historic home is the best of both worlds- all the modern amenities you want with all the charm of a unique step back in time! There are neat treasures to look at in every room. Located in the heart of bourbon country on a family farm, you can take a picnic by the pond while being only a short distance from great restaurants and all the distilleries!

This one of a kind home is featured on the National Registry of Historic Places and dates back to the 1870's. It underwent an extensive renovation is 2023. We have added many modern amenities- including a state of the art chef's kitchen with commercial appliances, while maintaining the original historic finishes of the home.

Every room is unique- with unexpected treasures around every turn. With soaring 11 foot ceilings and floor to ceiling windows, the home is sun soaked and airy. Sit a while in a rocking chair on one of our many porches or cast a line in our stocked pond. Enjoy the serene sounds of nature while only being a short drive to dozens of distilleries.

Each bedroom has an ensuite bathroom. Two of our bathrooms boast claw foot tubs. Have a soak while you read a book and recharge. All bedrooms are equipped with a smart tv so you can connect to all your favorite streaming services. We are stocked with board games, playing cards and lawn games.

Enjoy a late night poker game or sip of wine in our bourbon parlor. The ambiance in this home is perfect for multiple couples traveling the bourbon trail or just wanting to step off the beaten path to have a truly Kentucky experience.

We've thought of everything in our chef's kitchen. From double ovens to a gas stovetop to an additional wine fridge, we've got everything you need. We provide coffee, tea and flavored syrups so that your morning coffee can be enjoyed on the porch as you watch the geese swim on the pond. We have spices and every imaginable piece of cookware you could need to make the perfect meal. Our dining table was custom made from wood milled off the farm and seats up to 14 people.

We are lifelong residents of Shelby County. We are more than happy to help you plan your trip! If we can help arrange transportation, a restaurant reservation or recommendation please let us know.
Our prices include all fees. No hidden fees.
