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.

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.

Why they chose this property
This house was my grandparent’s home for over 60 years. All of my best memories are here. We spent 2 years renovating it with so much love and attention to detail.
