We had such a wonderful stay! The cottage was incredibly cute, clean, and cozy; exactly what we were hoping for. It’s tucked away in a very secluded spot, which made it perfect for relaxing and enjoying some peace and quiet. Everything we needed was provided, and the little touches made it feel so welcoming. We loved how private it was, yet still easy to get to. Highly recommend for anyone looking for a quiet getaway in a charming place!

Pictures accurately display the beauty of this quant cottage. Hosts Judith and Lindsay were excellent and quick responding to questions. We came into town for the bourbon festival so we didn’t have much time on property. But this cottage was between Bardstown and Frankfort where we spent most of our time. It is a bit off the beaten path which was a nice get away from the tourist areas for the distilleries. We loved this place and would stay here again. 10/10.

Property at large was gorgeous with lots of space to explore, and the cabin was beautiful and clean. Owners were very communicative and understanding, both when our plans changed and during the stay, but left us enough space to feel like we were alone with the nature.

Kentucky Heaven

Relaxing is understated. Clean, comfortable, centrally located to distilleries, and other adventures. Property description is accurate. Step outside to see every layer of the star lit night sky. Amenities exceeded all or any expectations. The only negative I can report is that we had to leave too soon. Rebooking soon.

We wish we could have stayed longer! Beautiful, extremely private trip. Host went above and beyond with little things left for us to enjoy. A loaf of bread, apples, etc. We will definitely be back sometime when it is much warmer with no snow so we can enjoy the property!

Beautiful place. Very clean and well stocked!

Place is beautiful and very clean. Only issue was the road leading back to the property. It's a rough one lane gravel road. Loved our stay and would definitely recommend, just be aware that it's a pretty rough road getting to the property.

I had the pleasure of staying for a long weekend and it was truly a remarkable experience. The property exceeded all expectations—immaculately clean, beautifully decorated, and equipped with everything you could possibly need. The attention to detail was evident in every corner, from the cozy linens to the well-stocked kitchen. The location was perfect, offering both tranquility and easy access to nearby attractions. Whether we were relaxing on the patio or exploring the local area, we felt completely at ease. Overall, this was one of the best vacation rentals we’ve ever experienced.

Beautiful and quiet spot convenient to the bourbon trail

The owners could not have been nicer and more communicative. Made sure we had everything we needed and checked in to see if there were things we needed along the way. The property is one big room with a big bed, eating area, family room and spacious kitchen. There are two bathrooms and a wonderful front patio. We especially loved that it was pet friendly!

Wonderful Quiet Getaway

The hosts Judith and Lindsey were great! If was nice to find the kitchen stocked with coffee, fruit, snacks, eggs and bread. This was really thoughtful and the first time we have ever experienced such gracious hosts. The place was great, immaculate, exactly as described. We would breakfast on the porch and would be regularly visited by a few of her hens. Located in the heart of bourbon country with easy access to Bardstown, Lawrenceburg, Frankfort and Lexington. We would definitely stay here again the next time we do the Bourbon Trail.
