Historic 1909 Gem on the Bourbon Trail w/4 King Beds
Step inside The Copper & Oak and discover a perfectly restored 1909 home designed for gathering, relaxing, and exploring the best of Kentucky’s Bourbon Trail. Right in the heart of historic downtown Shelbyville — the ideal midpoint between Louisville, Frankfort, and Bardstown — this upscale 4-bedroom, 4-bath getaway blends classic charm with modern comfort.
The home is split into two beautifully appointed units, each offering its own living room, fully stocked kitchen, smart TV, and cozy dining/workspace. A hidden speakeasy-style Murphy door connects the spaces, giving groups the flexibility to spread out while still enjoying time together.
Throughout the home, you’ll find warm décor, plush furnishings, and local artwork, including pieces by the 148th Kentucky Derby artist. Every king bedroom is designed for rest and retreat, and all four bathrooms feature stylish tiled showers — with two ensuite for added privacy.
Start your day with coffee from either Keurig setup, cook meals in the well-equipped kitchens, or gather for games of shuffleboard, cards, and board games after touring distilleries or horse farms. In the evenings, fire up the grill on the covered patio and enjoy a laid-back Kentucky night.
With private off-street parking and a walkable location near coffee shops, restaurants, and boutiques, The Copper & Oak is a welcoming, comfortable base for your Bluegrass adventure. Make yourself at home and enjoy an unforgettable stay along the Bourbon Trail.

We enjoyed our stay at the Shelbyville Vrbo. The home was very charming, and was situated perfectly between the Lexington and Louisville Bourbon Trails.Everything looked exactly like it did in the photos, and we would absolutely come back should we visit again.
This is a beautiful place to stay. Clean, great amenities, and beautifully decorated. The location was perfect and we were easily able to walk to the Main Street area for eating/shopping. You won’t be disappointed in choosing this place!
This was a great property, beautifully remodeled home, well stocked with the essentials. Would definitely stay here again. Property manager was very responsive.
If you are looking for a place to stay while checking out the Bourbon Trail, this is an ideal location. Quiet and very clean. Easy access to the different regions of the Bourbon Trail. We highly recommend.
Stayed at property for 3 nights (3 couples). Everything was clean and fresh. Great location to hit many stops on Bourbon Trail. Owners very communicative and offered suggestions. Would stay here again and recommend for 3-4 couples traveling together.
We stayed three nights and toured several distilleries in the area such as angel’s envy and buffalo trace. Our accommodations were exceptional. The home was well stocked, spacious enough for the four of us and the furnishings were comfortable and modern. The hosts were readily available for any issues or questions. Excellent place to stay!
Super cute older brick home with amazing updates. This place was absolutely wonderful! It was clean, beautifully decorated, and well stocked with all of the essentials! The hosts are very responsive and check-in / check-out was easy. The house is within walking distance to a coffee shop, ice cream shoppe, restaurants and bars. Highly recommended and we would definitely stay again!
This house was stocked with everything you would need. Beautifully decorated. Centrally located to the bourbon trail. Hosts were quick to respond and very friendly. Would stay here again!!
Loved this stay - We took a trip to celebrate a couple of 30th birthday's on the Bourbon Tour and this was the perfect house for it. Very great location to the distilleries, restaurants, and coffee shops. The place was very clean and beautifully updated. The managers stayed in contact with us during our stay, but we never needed anything as it was ready for us when we arrived!
We all loved the property and had more than enough space for 6 of us to relax after visiting distilleries. Having 2 kitchens and 2 living rooms was perfect when we needed some space or quiet, and there is a good sized tvs in each living room. The bathrooms and kitchens are nicely updated. We walked to dinner in downtown shelbyville - about 4-5 blocks. We would definitely stay there again.
This property was a great homebase for our stops on the Bourbon Trail. Nicely remodeled and well appointed with all the basics. Neighborhood can be occasionally loud as the fire station is a block away.
We stayed at this beautiful property for four days. The place was great, very well stocked kitchen and bathrooms were very nice. It was great to have a bedroom and bathroom for each of the four couples in our group. We pretty much hung in the kitchen when we were at the property, even though the living rooms were beautiful and comfortable. Would highly recommend!
This house worked out perfectly for four couples visiting the area for bourbon tours. The four beds and baths gave us privacy while still spending lots of time together in the great common areas. The host communicated everything that was needed and quickly responded to questions. Would recommend and would stay here again if I’m in the area.
