Wake Up on a Real Ranch - The Bunkhouse - Elizabethtown KY

  • The Bunkhouse at Lazy 4T Ranch | 1BR · 1BA | Elizabethtown, KY

    Wake up on a real working ranch.

    The Bunkhouse at Lazy 4T Ranch is a beautifully appointed 1-bedroom, 1-bathroom guest house nestled on our working horse and cattle ranch in Elizabethtown, Kentucky. It's the kind of place that feels both elevated and completely at ease — rustic charm with the comfort of a boutique stay.

    Step inside and you'll find a premium memory foam mattress dressed in luxury high-thread-count linens, spa-quality 100% Turkish Cotton towels, and Kangen alkaline water — because the details matter. The fully equipped kitchen has everything you need to cook a quiet dinner or just brew your morning coffee. The cozy living room comes with a flat-screen TV with streaming, a DVD player, and board games for a laid-back evening in. Washer and dryer are available for guest use.

    Outside, the private patio with seating and a BBQ grill (wood burning) is where mornings and evenings come alive. Sit back, watch the horses graze in the pasture, and let the Kentucky sky do the rest.
    While you'll feel completely tucked away, you're just minutes from Elizabethtown — full grocery, dining, and shopping all close by.

    Make Your Stay Unforgettable
    The ranch is yours to explore during your stay. Fish the pond stocked with bass and catfish, walk the scenic trails, and meet the horses. Want to go deeper? Add on a private trail ride ($175/person), the Ranch Life Experience — a hands-on half-day working cattle on horseback ($350/person) — or a guided farm tour with Tate ($30/person). These aren't tourist attractions. This is the real thing.
    Visit lazy4tranch.com to learn more about the ranch and everything we offer.

    Horse Boarding Available
    Bring your own horse! Stall and pasture accommodations available at $45/night per horse. Please request at booking to confirm availability.

    Pet Policy
    Dogs welcome on a case-by-case basis — must be disclosed at booking. $35/night per pet ($300 monthly cap). Dogs must remain leashed outdoors. Not permitted in the barn, pastures, or on furniture. Guests are responsible for any damages. All animals must be approved prior to arrival.
    Please note: Emotional support animals are not classified as service animals under the ADA and do not override our pet policy.

Peaceful at the ranch

The bunkhouse was quiet and cozy. The bed was soft; the bath towels were huge and plush. There was a basket of snacks waiting for us and a large decanter of cold, ionized water in the fridge which was delicious. The place was not cluttered, and since it had the "open" concept, it was a rather large area. Even the bathroom was nice size. The owner was so nice and approachable. On our second night, we were sitting out front, and he came and talked to us as he was taking his horse for an evening ride. We highly recommend this place for anyone wanting a peaceful getaway.

Lazy 4T Ranch is awesome!

Excellent location and experience. Instructions and guidelines were outlined in advance and accurate. Bunkhouse was very clean, neat, organized, and accommodating. We checked-in on Friday afternoon and met friendly ranch staff who answered a few questions for us. Saturday morning my wife and I enjoyed coffee, a walk on the property, and then explored some of the trails at dusk. Sunday morning we met Tracy, Michelle, and their son as they started morning chores, got a tour of the horse barn, and spent several hours hiking. We certainly recommend the Lazy 4T Ranch and we will stay again in the future.

This was a little slice of heaven. The welcoming feeling hits you as soon as you walk in the door. The hosts thought of everything you could need for your stay. We got a mini tour of the farm. Unfortunately we missed out on a tour with Tate. But we plan on going back so he can show us the rest of the farm

Outstanding!

We loved the ranch and the bunkhouse. Owners and their staff were so friendly and welcoming. The ranch is beautiful and we loved seeing the beautiful horses. Close to town but a world away. Quiet, peaceful place to relax and enjoy the beauty of the ranch. If we’re back in the area, we’ll definitely stay here again!

Bunk House Overnight

The Bunkhouse was very clean but not stocked with some basic essentials like toilet paper and coffee pods. The Welcome Basket clearly had only the few leftovers from the previous booking. Michelle provided the essentials promptly when we asked. The downside to this booking is that it shares a wall and door with the Ranch Office. We had no idea that was the case (from the property description) and so the first 3 hours of our stay, we were able to hear every conversation and phone call they had. Again, in the morning, when the office resumed work. We knew we were staying at a working ranch, but the description about the shared wall needs to be included.

Unit physically was fine. Wonderful bed. Kitchen and bath okay. TV great, shower a little small but water was hot.Shortcomings: No washing machine in unit, only a note saying washer was in the next door office, and no one was in the office except for the evening we arrived.There was a fire pit in front of the unit, but no firewood.And worst off all, the book said to put out the trash, but the dumpster was two hundred yards away from the unit.Best feature was the bed. It was extremely comfotable and we slept the best we have in months.Also some inconsistencies. Online check out time was listed at 11 a.m., while the book had it at 10 a.mThe book also said not to wear shoes in the unit, but this was not mentioned.

Great location, excellent communication. Cutest little tour guide. They do preface their listing with the fact that it is an active working ranch. In the middle of the night, one of the horses in the barn that is connected to the guest house must have bucked or something. Scared us lol. So I would definitely say make sure you are OK with hearing numerous horse noises throughout the night because there were plenty. It’s not a place to go and sleep in. They are in that office talking pretty loud bright and early. Definitely would benefit from a slow door closing spring or something because they do go in and out a lot and when the door slams, it shakes the entire guest house. This place would be perfect for anyone that wants to get up early, go enjoy nature, horse back ride, etc. We were just there for a concert. But would love to bring my daughter back to ride.

Disappointed

My intention when I left this particular Airbnb was to overlook the lack of privacy and remote location and rate the bunkhouse a 10/10. What I mean by lack of privacy is bunkhouse shares a wall with their office. You can hear their conversations while they are on the phone and I’m sure they can hear ours too. Also to access washer/dryer you have to go thru office, they are not in your space. However, the uncluttered room was super cute. All amenities listed were provided. I was happy with the size of room. A ceiling fan while you sleep and a long mirror to check your outfit before you leave would have made this a perfect stay. The Husband/owner was very nice to my husband and I. He even stopped his work to show us around the property. The reason for my disappointment comes after the stay. An oversight on billing and an assumption of property damage was made by the wife. Proper communication could have prevented this misunderstanding on her part. This is the reason I can not recommend a stay here.
