"Comfortable luxury." — Jean, Kentucky
🏡 BUILT FOR MULTIGENERATIONAL GROUPS
This is a private estate designed for groups that need to spread out and come together. Two distinct upstairs wings mean grandparents, parents, and kids each have their own private corner of the house. The main-level master suite means no stairs for elders. The 5,500 sq ft footprint means no one ever feels crowded.
From ages 5 to 85, every guest finds their thing here.
"Three families, each had their own 'wing.'" — Monte
"The rooms are spacious. The house is quiet. Each family had their own section." — Jennifer, Colorado
"Something there for all of us, from age 5 to 67."— Andrew, Ohio

🌅 A DAY AT GLENCAIRN KNOLL
Morning — Coffee on the front porch. Sunrise over rolling Kentucky hills. Grandparents at the kitchen island. Teens at the coffee bar. Little ones already planning pool time.
Afternoon — One push of a button and the automatic cover retracts to reveal the sparkling 38-foot saltwater pool. Cannonballs in the 8' deep end. Cornhole on the lawn. A wander out to the quiet 1800s cemetery tucked in the trees.
Evening — Grilling for the gang on the 38" 4-burner Blackstone. Outdoor dining for 12. One shared meal that lingers.
After Dinner—Karaoke echoes from the basement. Bourbon poured in the Speakeasy. Marshmallows roast at the firepit.
Night—pool lights glowing. Night swimming becomes the highlight nobody planned for. Flashlight tag across 3.75 acres.
Bedtime — Everyone retreats to their own spacious room and king bed. The main-level master features a deep soaking tub and walk-in rain shower guests describe as "like a spa."
Most groups plan to explore Kentucky. Most end up staying right here.

My family enjoyed the house. We loved the pool and hot tub and there were so many other things we could do while staying in the house. The kids loved all of the games and the karaoke. The house fit our needs perfectly and the hosts were very kind and helpful.
This place was incredible! Has everything you could possibly need and more. It was one of the cleanest and homey places we have stayed. The beds were SO COMFY and the place had everything you could need. Thank you so much!!!

Thank you for taking the time to leave a review Abby! And thank you choosing our place for your celebration!
This place is amazing! The host was so easy to work with. Our grandchildren wanted us to buy this house so we could continue coming back! We never needed to leave and look for attractions or something to do. Every bedroom room was so roomy and comfy.The master bath is something you want all your quests to experience. The kitchen had everything you needed to cook amazing meals. The basement and the garage space was filled with tons of activities for every age. Thank you for a most memorable stay!

thank you for taking the time to review! We loved hosting y’all!!
This is an amazing property, very well appointed and many thoughtful touches. (Our grandkids loved the snow cone machine!) It's close enough to Louisville for all the tourist sites and activities but far enough away for peace and privacy. The beds are very comfortable and the kitchen is well supplied. There are several cabinets reserved for guests' food which doesn't always happen!The pool and hot tub are great. The pool cover takes a little extra effort but is worth it.An air conditioner unit that cools 2 of the bedrooms broke but was dealt with promptly. Communication was exceptionally responsive.
Our stay was incredible! The most amazing amenities and they have every age in mind for things to do. Games and even a karaoke room! They even have a scavenger hunt to compete as couples or families - such a treasured time. The pool and outdoor space is phenomenal. The master bathroom is to die for. The beds, are so comfortable and the bedding makes it even better. This home, the space, and the property is just so incredibly stunning. Communication with the host is perfect. If we are ever this way again, we will be staying here! We had the best time!

Thank you so much Brandy! Hope to host you in the future!
An amazing house! Big kitchen, spacious bedrooms, and a basement that has entertainment for hours with games and karaoke. A pool and firepit area. We loved having privacy, and this house was perfect! The owner was very responsive and helpful.
This is one of the most fabulous properties I have ever stayed at. I brought my family to celebrate my doctoral graduation, and it was truly a pleasure to work with Deb, the host. I highly recommend this property if you’re looking for a peaceful, family-oriented space where you can have a great time.

The host Deb was very responsive and genuinely wanted us to have the best time. She truly cares about her guests and their comfort.

My dad, brother, and I did a little boys trip for a few nights there. Wanted to get out of the hustle and bustle of our business in the city. What an awesome spot to get away for a few days to unwind and recharge the batteries. One of the cooler and nicer properties I’ve had to opportunity to stay at! Definitely would book again!

Thank you, Mel! Y’all were wonderful guests! Thanks so much for taking the time to review!
We had the most amazing time with our children and our good friends. The teenagers always had some activity to do, the younger kids loved the pool and exploring the house, and the adults loved that the home had something for everyone. We rarely left the house because it was the perfect calm vacation that we all needed after a busy few months. The home itself is immaculate. Getting to cook in the beautiful kitchen while having countertop space for everyone to hang out, as well as additional tables and chairs close by made it the perfect set up to spend time together. Deb was phenomenal at communicating and we are so grateful we got to have this time together making memories that will last us a lifetime.

Molly- thank you so much for this wonderful review! Y’all were the best guests and we appreciate you! Please come back! 🙏❤️
We celebrated our first baby turning 12 at this amazing house. From day one, Deb answered all my questions before I even booked the house. She sent me ideas about what we could do on the trip. I travel with a lot of stuff. I did not even need any of it. The house was fully stocked with anything you would ever need. She even left flowers and a balloon for my baby girl. The house is well-planned, from the decor to the layout. The kitchen bar was so amazing. The beds felt like heaven. The pool and hot tub were so clean. We travel a lot. And this was, hands down, our favorite house. We pulled back up at home, and all looked at each other and said we missed our Kentucky house already. The neighbor is building a house, and there were no problems with that either. They were quiet and we did not even know they were over there. If you are thinking about booking this house, do so now. You will not regret it. We loved it so much.
Hi, we’re Deb and James Paul—hosts, storytellers, and passionate believers in the power of connection. After five years of hosting in Destin, Florida, we found our next chapter in Kentucky, where the hills are wide, the pace is slower, and family time stretches longer.
We created Glencairn Knoll as more than just a vacation rental—it’s a space designed for families to reconnect, slow down, and remember what really matters. Whether you’re gathering around the table, playing in the pool, or just breathing easier under a Kentucky sky, we hope this home becomes part of your story.
We’re honored to share it with you.
Why they chose this property
We picked this place because it gave us both—space to connect and space to breathe with plenty of room for everyone. It’s tucked just far enough from the city to feel peaceful but close enough for bourbon trail touring and brunch. The first night we saw the stars here, we knew it was the one.
What makes this property unique
Smart home technology, Karaoke room, salt-water pool, hot tub, fire pit and game room.
