What a unique property! Property was clean, comfortable, and entertaining! We loved our stay and Ben and Melinda were great hosts. We will for sure be back to stay again!
Absolutely blown away by this lovely rental! Stylishly decorated, spacious, lots of comfy seating and the beds were dreamy!! The family would love to return for a big holiday getaway. Great location.
Beautiful and very unique property. Melinda was great to work with both before and after our stay. Would highly recommend for those exploring the quaint town of Shelbyville, and the surrounding bourbon attracts fry ions and Churchill Downs. Centrally-located for all!
This property is one of a kind. It is hard to beat. Very clean, perfect for a large group of friends. Amenities in the glass enclosed rooms were tough (like no dresser drawers or place to store make up and whatnot) but certainly manageable for a few nights.
Awesome Property will definitely stay again in the future!
Only Suggestion is to improve the music system with Sonos or similar system with speakers around the loft! Sounds from Television are not same as stereo and dampen the mood!
Our stay was great and very convenient for our wedding. There was a tour of the venue that we were given a heads up about. However, while touring the venue the employee brought people into our VRBO while people were changing, getting prepared or occupying the space. We didn’t mind the venue being toured but the tour of our private space unannounced seemed inappropriate.
Overall, great place! Had good communication with the owners, and the place was as listed and as showns. Really cool place. Also used their chef for a night and was pleased. This worked great for a 5 guy Bourbon Trail house. Only issue we had was with tv and internet, but we were hardly there so it didn't make a huge difference, and if you ever worked with a cable company that is no easy task. I would recommend this place if you got the people to fill the space.
Property was very clean, comfortable and unique. I was celebrating my birthday with friends and family and enjoyed the unique space. With three of the 5 sleeping spaces not actual bedrooms, privacy was limited. Two of the three bathrooms were in the 2 bedrooms which made for limited use. The firepit in the center of the living space was amazing a great area to sit and talk. We had an issue with private limo service which we booked for a day of sight seeing. Owners refunded. I would definitely visit again.
We stayed here with a group of friends while doing the bourbon trail. It was everything we hoped for and then some. I love finding cool and unique places to stay. This one tops my list for now. If you have some time visit the little deli across the street called McKinley's. The food is to die for. Also, the coffee shop down the road called the paddock makes a great cup of coffee and a decent muffin. Do yourself a favor and stay here. No regrets.
Even better in person! Surprised my husband for his 50th birthday and had an amazing time using the loft as our base to tour the Bourbon Trail. Plenty of space for 4 couples — 5 would work as well but makes it tough with only 3 bathrooms and not a lot of counter/extra space in bathrooms. The circular fireplace is awesome!! We loved hanging around in Loft, and being able to walk around downtown to the restaurant and shops is a big added bonus! Highly recommend!
The property is immaculate, great for a large group. Central location between some of the largest distillery’s in KY. Thank you to the hosts. HGTV featured a great property. Can’t wait to visit again.
While some "lofts" are simply manufactured titles, this is the real deal.
What looks like an original industrial space in a turn of the century building has been transformed into a fantasy meets reality experience.
The amenities are glamorous and upscale. It is the perfect place for large groups to gather in a convivial setting while still having room to spread out. Guests should be able-bodied, as the elevator is only available during business hours. Highly recommended!
