Peaceful KY Getaway | Firestone's at Barren River

Aaron and I (Holly) have been married for 12 years. We met in grade 7 and by grade 9 he told me on a daily basis I'd be his wife someday. I found him atrocious, but persistent and he soon wore me down. We were married in 2009. The next year we also chose to purchase and remodel the home that Aaron's grandparents lived in. A home built in the 1940's that needed a complete gutting. 3 years of blood, sweat and tears went into building our forever home on a 50 acre farm near Firestone's. After dating for 6 years, and being married for 4, God blessed us with our first baby boy. Then 3 years later another one! Now our days are filled with our day jobs, farming, carting boys to school and sports, and NOW hosting you! To host guests in our vacation rental has always been a dream. We love our community and think it has so much to offer. We've always loved when family from out of town visit and we get to show them around. Now we get to share it with the world. If you enjoyed anything about your stay, please don't hesitate to drop us a line and let us know! Kind words are the fuel to our fire. We consider ourselves so blessed to have you.

One of the most frequent questions we're asked is "Why Firestone's?" Our quaint house was first owned by Kenneth and Wynona Young. Both grew up in our little community of Rocky Hill and built the house in the 1970's after they were married. They raised their daughter, Reba, in the home and were always known to their neighbors to be loving and helpful. While Aaron grew up in the neighborhood, we only made it our forever home around 8 years ago. As we passed everyday to go into town, or to work, you could always count on Mr. Kenneth sitting on the back porch giving you a wave. Mr. Young, before retirement, worked at a local factory that made Firestone tires and coincidentally developed the nickname "Firestone" for all who knew him. "Wave at Firestone!", we'd always tell our boys. And when we'd say "Let's go visit Firestone", our kids would always be excited because they knew Mrs. Wynona would always find them a piece of candy in the pantry. When we purchased the house in 2021 in order to host people from all over the world. One thing we didn't have to think about for long was the name. For over 50 years our house has been called "Firestone's" and we couldn't be more honored that it will continue to be.

Surrounded by expansive farmland, our charming house embodies a serene oasis where the distant lowing of cows and the sound of Amish families on horse-drawn carriages along the nearby road create a soothing countryside soundtrack. In this tranquil setting, peace and comfort abound, inviting moments of quiet contemplation and relaxation. Embrace the simplicity and beauty of rural life, where nature's gentle cadence sets the tone and the beautiful landscape offers solace for the soul.
