The house is really lovely, and has everything you need. The master bedroom is at the back of the house with a sliding door to the fully fenced backyard. We sat outside several times while the dog thought it was his vacation! Plenty of parking, and even had an EV charger for our cars. If you are thinking of going to Buffalo Trace every morning, this is your place! So close. Thanks for a comfortable stay.

Great Kentucky getaway

We had a great time staying in Shelbyville for the weekend. The house offered everything we needed for a couple days and lots of extras that made our stay very comfortable. The property was clean and easy to access. We would definitely visit again, especially when the weather is nicer and we can enjoy the outdoor space more!

So Relaxing....

We were visiting Louisville from New Jersey, but didn't want to stay in Louisville. This was perfect! Close enough to travel for daily activities and meals, but far enough away to be quiet and relaxing.The backyard is amazing!! Just like the pictures. The girls and our dog loved the ability to just play and roam around.There were two teen girls with us, and they were in the two extra rooms, it was almost like they had their own wing!! The hosts were so responsive, super nice and check-in was seamless!!Thank you so much!!

Perfect KBT Homebase

Loved the large backyard for our beagle! The huge tree gave loads of shade and bird watching. Would suggest having a few flashlights or additional lighting in the backyard for the last bedtime potty in the dark, though. Enjoyed the open floor plan and the front room’s king bed and window seat, especially for our pup.

Great place to rest your hat between distilleries

This was a good resting place for visiting the bourbon trail. We went to Buffalo trace, four roses, castle and key, and woodford reserve. Pet owners will be thrilled to know this properties backyard is fully fenced now and our dog LOVED getting to run free! We felt relaxed with our pets here and place was clean. Beds were clean and comfy

Great time with friends

The house had everything we needed to spend the weekend with friends. Plenty of seating and a well stocked kitchen. Neighborhood was very quiet. Only downside was a bit of a drive to downtown Louisville.

Hard to communicate with Host . I had made reservations and then a day later. Contacted the host about adding an extra day period then about a week later. I suggested to add an extra day if someone could contact me and there was no contact period in about 3 weeks later. I wanted confirmation. From the host about the stay even though I'd received an email confirmation.Nobody was texting me back on the message.Host app. All in all love, the farmhouse and the fenced in yard , there are a couple things that, in my opinion need attention. The countertop ice machine did not work ,the back shower did not work as well, however, could have been due to the cold temperatures, but the toilet and the sink worked fine .All in all a nice stay and would probably stay there again , just would like better communication , thanks ,

Cozy home with perfect location

My brother and I and our spouses stayed here as a base for exploring bourbon distilleries. The house was perfect for us and was beautifully decorated. I regret not using the hot tub and fire pit but the snow and cold weather was too much to hang out outdoors!

Awesome stay

This place was amazing and the host was so great. This place was in an awesome location, close to everything but far away to relax after traveling Kentucky. The place was set up with an informative travel book and the propriety was so cool. Would 100% recommend for bourbon trail goers!

Exactly what we were hoping for

Renting houses these days can be hit or miss to say the least. This place is an absolute hit. There’s always a little anxiety arriving at a rental but it was a pleasant surprise my wife and kids were all happy witch isn’t easy to do trust me.

The Perfect Stay

I travel a lot. A lot. This is the BEST place I’ve ever stayed. So clean, so private, so comfortable, so beautifully decorated (the bourbon lover will appreciate the decor), so private. The hot tub was the perfect end to the perfect days of bourbon hunting. Great communication, great ease of accessing the property,

Great Stay Exactly as Shown

Although it rained all weekend due to Hurricane Helene we had a great stay. Clean, well stocked with necessities, and a great layout. The house was exactly as shown in listing and was perfect for our family. The location was great and surrounded by beautiful farmlands. Due to the weather we followed the Bourbon Trail and enjoyed the area.

A great place to stay if you don’t mind a drive into Frankfort. Loved the outdoor space to hang out after a great day of activities. The house furniture has been changed out in the living room to a short couch and 4 small chairs with ottomans. I’m sure the photo of that room will be updated soon. That’s why I rated 4/5 stars in the photo representation category. I had to phone the property manager for the wi-if password. He answered on the 2nd ring and then followed up with a text and phone call to make sure all was well. Wonderful prompt service so 5/5 for Rob - thank you!!! I would definitely stay here again if Frankfort is in our travel plans for future.

Better Experience Than Staying at a Hotel

The VRBO Shelbyville house we stayed at was top tier, and quite frankly felt way more inviting and homely than just staying at a hotel. With all the featured amenities, the space to spread out and everyone to have their own sense of privacy, and lastly location being a bit outside of town, group felt that we got to see and experience a lot more of what KY truly offers. It was a great experience overall, and I cannot recommend it enough!!! The ease of booking the property, working with the property manager to help manage arrival and departure expectations… it was all very smooth, simple and turnkey. We had a great time, and are already looking forward to our next trip.
