About this property
Bourbon Country Cabin with HOT TUB and Fire Pit on Brashears Creek
Located on beautiful Brashears Creek in the heart of Bourbon Country, this loft style cedar cabin makes a great central location to visit some local distilleries and wineries. It is also a great place to stay for anyone who might be in the area for a horse show or interested in antique shopping along Shelbyville's historical Main Street. My personal favorite thing to do at the cabin is enjoy the creek. We love to canoe, kayak or even just float on a raft depending on the conditions.
FAQ: The Ripple Inn
Hi there! We know how excited you must be for your upcoming getaway so we wanted to try and make it as smooth and easy as possible. Here are some popular questions we have been asked in the past. Please feel free
to reach out for additional questions.
CAN I CHECK IN EARLY?
We do our very best to make sure the cabin is ready for our next guests. If you need a check-in earlier than 4pm, there will be a $50 fee.
DETAILS
There is a Hot Tub......
To ensure the safety of you and other guests, please follow the hot tub rules posted. DO NOT leave children unattended in or near the hot tub. Hot tub is cleaned, treated, and checked for proper functionality before every arrival. If any abuse requiring draining of the hot tub is discovered when a guest departs, we will collect your security deposit to cover the expense of additional labor, supplies, and water for a process that takes up to five hours to drain, clean, refill, and reheat for the next guest. We make every effort to keep the hot tub functional, hot and ready for each guest to enjoy. There is no guarantee that a mechanical failure can be repaired, as parts may need to be ordered. There will be no refunds or discounts due to a hot tub malfunction, and damage to the hot tubs, covers, and filters will be assessed to you.
WHAT GROCERY STORES ARE THERE?
There is a Walmart and Kroger in Shelbyville. You can purchase your favorite alcoholic beverage at Cox’s Spirit Shoppe, located close to the I64 exit onto SR 55. There are other locations in Shelbyville as well: Kroger Wine & Spirits, Save A Lot, and Liquor World.

Frequently asked questions
About the host
Hosted by Gwen Runner

Hello! Thanks for taking an interest in our cabin. My husband, three children and myself live on a farm very close to the cabin where we have horses, cattle, chickens and a few hogs. We are nature lovers and prefer to be outside whenever possible. Hiking, camping, fishing, horseback riding, and canoeing/kayaking are some of our favorite things to do. We feel blessed to live in such a beautiful area and look forward to sharing it with you!
Why they chose this property
This is not your typical kit built cabin. Although it has been updated, the cabin is about 40 years old. It is charmingly decorated and it feels so cozy that you won't want to leave. There is a staircase to the loft which has two separate open rooms that between them hold two extremely comfortable queen beds, a day bed, and a small rope bed. The kitchen/living room area is very open as well and has two full size couches and a wood stove (wood included). The bathroom includes a claw foot tub and elegant light fixtures. Enjoy taking a dip in the hot tub, relaxing in the rocking chairs, lounging in a hammock, and exploring the creek while you stay. Amazing views all around!

What makes this property unique
We have two additional houses available for rent just two miles up the road on Chickapoo Farm. If you have a large group, you might want to consider renting multiple properties.
There is a seasonal Pick Your Own/U-pick Flower patch located at the farm. If you are interested in picking a bouquet of flowers, please contact us before or during your stay. Since it is a business, please do not pick any flowers before reaching out.
We also offer USDA inspected Black Angus beef for sale. If you are interested in purchasing any cuts before or during your stay, we would be happy to provide pricing upon request.
