Amazing historical property’

We loved this place… from the moment we walked In to the beautiful decor and coziness galore..we were so impressed by all the little special touches.. personal greeting included! The stone cellar was fascinating! The owners were friendly and responsive. We appreciated their extra details on history as well. The deck and park like area out back was so nice. The absolute only recommendation I’d have would be adding a side lamp to tv room area. Five star rating!

Ky Road Trip

It was a great place in a great location. The cottage was clean and well maintained with all the connivences desired. The location was close to the Perryville Battleground and while I am not a big civil war buff the small visitors center was exceptional. The location is also well centered for scenic day road trips through the bluegrass and bourbon country. The host was very attentive. Highly recommended.

Great place for our annual sister weekend

The place was just as pictured. It was a perfect size for me and my sister to meet up for the weekend. The shops right beside you were so friendly and welcoming. The steps upstairs were a bit of a challenge but we navigated them well. We used the grill for two of our meals. We also got a good start on a 1000 piece puzzle. If we are staying in the area again we will be sure to look you up. Do you have other VRBO places that you own? Cathy and Nancy

Things that should be included in the listing. Bedrooms are up steep narrow stairs Only bathroom is downstairs at very inconvenient location Property is on a busy street with traffic until late at night. Parking requires you to cross the street with your bags.

Fantastic place with excellent hosts!

Needed a quiet place to get away, visit some friends, get in a little birdwatching @ Central KY Wildlife Refuge, all while still working during the week. This place was perfect! Cute historic area, old store (maybe?) that the owners did a great job converting to a two bedroom house. Super clean with perfect parking out front. An easy drive to Danville and the Wildlife Refuge with the bonus of being right on the river. Walking distance to Mi Rancho Mexican Grill - great birria tacos and margaritas, the liquor store, dollar general, and Mr. Miser food mart (try the tenderloin breakfast biscuit) - everything you need for a low key long weekend! Highly recommend for a relaxing getaway. One word of caution: there are historic (aka narrow and steep) stairs to the bedrooms and the bathroom is on the first floor. If you have significant mobility concerns be aware.
