Kentucky Heaven

Relaxing is understated. Clean, comfortable, centrally located to distilleries, and other adventures. Property description is accurate. Step outside to see every layer of the star lit night sky. Amenities exceeded all or any expectations. The only negative I can report is that we had to leave too soon. Rebooking soon.

Beautiful Slice of Heaven

We wish we could have stayed longer! Beautiful, extremely private trip. Host went above and beyond with little things left for us to enjoy. A loaf of bread, apples, etc. We will definitely be back sometime when it is much warmer with no snow so we can enjoy the property!

Beautiful place. Very clean and well stocked!

Place is beautiful and very clean. Only issue was the road leading back to the property. It's a rough one lane gravel road. Loved our stay and would definitely recommend, just be aware that it's a pretty rough road getting to the property.

5 Stars - Exceptional Stay!

I had the pleasure of staying for a long weekend and it was truly a remarkable experience. The property exceeded all expectations—immaculately clean, beautifully decorated, and equipped with everything you could possibly need. The attention to detail was evident in every corner, from the cozy linens to the well-stocked kitchen. The location was perfect, offering both tranquility and easy access to nearby attractions. Whether we were relaxing on the patio or exploring the local area, we felt completely at ease. Overall, this was one of the best vacation rentals we’ve ever experienced. I would highly recommend this property to anyone looking for a relaxing and enjoyable getaway. We can’t wait to return!

Beautiful and quiet spot convenient to the bourbon trail

The owners could not have been nicer and more communicative. Made sure we had everything we needed and checked in to see if there were things we needed along the way. The property is one big room with a big bed, eating area, family room and spacious kitchen. There are two bathrooms and a wonderful front patio. We especially loved that it was pet friendly!

Wonderful Quiet Getaway

The hosts Judith and Lindsey were great! If was nice to find the kitchen stocked with coffee, fruit, snacks, eggs and bread. This was really thoughtful and the first time we have ever experienced such gracious hosts. The place was great, immaculate, exactly as described. We would breakfast on the porch and would be regularly visited by a few of her hens. Located in the heart of bourbon country with easy access to Bardstown, Lawrenceburg, Frankfort and Lexington. We would definitely stay here again the next time we do the Bourbon Trail.

Quiet, quaint, quality

Our stay here was for my husbands 40th birthday bourbon trail trip and it was perfect for us and our sweet pup. It’s in a quiet location with lots of seclusion and places to walk and roam. This little cabin was quaint and the quality was wonderful. We look forward to visiting again in the spring or summer!

Exceeded Our Expectations

Judith and family made us feel at home and as comfortable as possible in their beautiful Kentucky hidden getaway. The house was spotless and very welcoming as soon as we walked in. Every creature comfort was provided. We truly appreciated the Keurig coffee and the food and snacks that we found. The towels were big and soft and there were plenty of them. The road in and out was always an exciting adventure and we loved seeing the bison and deer. We highly recommend Judith’s home. Every question we had was immediately answered and we had no issues whatsoever. Thank you for making us feel at home. PS: we had read in the comments to drive the road in the daylight the first time and that was excellent advice. It is a little nerve wracking but we never encountered oncoming traffic during our entire stay.

Perfect getaway

Exactly as advertised. Great location for the Bourbon Trail or just a getaway. The Host Judith was always available if necessary and very helpful. Everything necessary for a great stay including a very comfy bed. Loved the firepit (it was a chilly week) and the surroundings. Would recommend to anyone without hesitation. Great time.
