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!

The hosts were extremely friendly with excellent communication. The cottage was clean and our stay was very pleasant and quiet. The cottage was equipped with everything needed for a relaxing stay away from the daily chaos. The fresh eggs, coffee and bread were an added bonus. The fire pit with plenty of wood supplied was perfect for relaxing evenings outside with a glass of wine. We will definitely consider staying there in the future.

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.

Quiet, quaint, quality

Our stay here was for my husbands 40th birthday bourbon trail trip and it was perfect for us and our sweet pup. It’s in a quiet location with lots of seclusion and places to walk and roam. This little cabin was quaint and the quality was wonderful. We look forward to visiting again in the spring or summer!

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!

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.

Exactly as advertised. Great location for the Bourbon Trail or just a getaway. The Host Judith was always available if necessary and very helpful. Everything necessary for a great stay including a very comfy bed. Loved the firepit (it was a chilly week) and the surroundings. Would recommend to anyone without hesitation. Great time.

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.

5 Stars - Exceptional Stay!

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. I would highly recommend this property to anyone looking for a relaxing and enjoyable getaway. We can’t wait to return!

Quiet, Remote Getaway

The cottage itself was exactly as promised and a wonderful getaway. The bed was comfortable, linens were clean, and the kitchen was even stocked! You pass plenty of animals on your way in including bison! Judith was easy to communicate with and even came to check on us as we were leaving one day to venture out. The place is fairly centrally located to lots of distilleries and was a relaxing place to go after long days of exploring. The property is fairly easy to find down a winding one way road. We never encountered anyone to have to navigate a tricky passing situation, but it was a concern. I would recommend arriving during the daylight hours the first time to get a lay of the land. Even if a bit tricky, the drive is beautiful!
