John was a great host. We enjoyed the property. The Beam distillery is close by and the tour was great. Bardstown not far either and worth a visit.

Exceptional property! Charming and VERY remote, which we found ideal, but still convenient to everything the Bardstown sector of the Bourbon Trail has to offer. Everything you need to feel comfortable, and some unexpected entertainment options (ping pong, puzzles, books). The enclosed porch is perfect for sitting out rainy days, and the fire pit makes for cozy evenings. We were talking about coming back before we left!

We had everything needed to cook some wonderful meals. The Cabin is located in Wildlife Management Area. So peaceful, we walked in the woods every day. Bardstown is 30 minutes away. We visited several very nice distilleries starting with Jim beam which is just across the highway. The Bernheim Forrest is very nearby. We also took a trip South to Abraham Lincoln birth place.

À propos de l’hôte
Hôte : John van der Steur
Hello, I'm John, and I want to extend a warm welcome to our cabin, Two Chimneys. This cabin holds a special place in our hearts, as it was lovingly remodeled by my parents, Anne & Hans, back in 2000.
Our family's connection to this place runs deep. Two Chimneys is part of Maplegate Farm, a space that has been a part of our family for generations. My mother, Anne, spent significant time here during World War II. The farm held a comforting embrace during those challenging times. Anne and her brother also started a tree farming operation on Maplegate Farm, a venture that brought them both joy and recognition.
The cabin's name comes from its two chimneys, which have witnessed the passage of time and the stories of our family. There's a rich history here, and we're honored to share it with you.
As you spend time in Two Chimneys, we ask that you treat it with the same care and respect that has been passed down through our family. This cabin isn't just a place to stay; it's a part of our heritage and a reminder of the simple joys in life.
Thank you for considering us for your stay. We're excited to have you here and hope your time at Two Chimneys is filled with tranquility and reflection.
Voici pourquoi l’hôte a choisi cet hébergement
You drive up to our cabin over a private dirt road through the picturesque Crooked Creek Valley. The cabin is on 144 acres on private property.
