Very clean and fun place to stay
The house is perfect for visiting the bourbon trail. The house is centrally located to many of the big name distilleries. It was incredibly fun to do distillery tours during the day and fish in the afternoon. Emily is a great host!

Love the water view
The clean two story house offered a very nice layout for a getaway weekend with friends. The kitchen is wonderfully equipped and the water view was very peaceful. This would be a great place to rent if you like kayaking!

Great House, Great Location!
Some buddies and I used this as our home base for a bit of bourbon trail exploration and couldn’t have been happier. It’s secluded and quiet but also close to various distilleries and restaurants. The house was spacious and clean with plenty of room for us to hang out and get a good night’s rest. 10/10 would stay here again.

Stay in Shelbyville
Our stay at this home was wonderful and the perfect spot for our weekend traveling around the area to different distilleries on the bourbon trail! It was the perfect location in the middle of Lexington and Louisville which is where we went for all of our tastings. The home had all of our basic essentials that we needed for our stay and was very clean and well kept. The views were amazing and we really enjoyed having our coffee in the mornings in the sunroom with a full lake view! Would stay here again!

Nice!
Hostess provided great communications. Well cared for property. Nice lake view. Close to marina to rent boats. Having a dock was especially helpful. Two Kayaks were also available for us at the property.

Great stay for bourbon trail!
The home is situated on a small lake in a nice neighborhood only 30-40mins from Louisville and 60mins to Bardstown. We found the location a nice place to base our Bourbon Trail trip from and retire to in the evening.
The home was spotless upon check-in, had comfortable beds, and great water pressure; it matched the listing perfectly. We did not use much of the kitchen but it appeared to have everything you would need to prepare coffee, a meal, etc. There is also a grill onsite with a small area for a bonfire.

Perfect Stay on the Bourbon Trail!
We had an amazing stay at this beautiful home along the Bourbon Trail in Kentucky! The location couldn’t be better—super central to all the major distilleries and attractions we wanted to visit. The house was spotless and well-maintained, with all the amenities we needed for a comfortable stay.What truly stood out was the view of the lake off the back porch. Waking up to the calm, shimmering water every morning was such a treat. The peaceful setting made it feel like a true getaway while still being conveniently close to everything.Highly recommend this property for anyone exploring the Bourbon Trail or just looking for a relaxing, scenic retreat. We can’t wait to come back!

Perfect weekend getaway
Perfect place to stay for two days with family coming from 3 different stats. House was home base and we enjoyed the nearby farm and distillery, horse racing in Lexington, kayaking on the creek and just enjoying the house and property. I highly recommend!

The property was amazing. 4 brothers visiting the bourbon trail. We loved Shelbyville as center point of our visit. Lake and kayak’s were well used during the heat of July. For Bulleit fans, l you can see their property from deck!
