About this property

Peaceful 2.5-Acre Retreat Near the City with Space to Unwind

  • Escape to a private 2.5-acre wooded cabin retreat just 10–15 minutes from downtown Louisville. Enjoy 3 bedrooms, 3 full bathrooms, covered porches, a firepit, wooded trails, and space for up to 8 guests. Relax among the trees, watch for deer and wildlife, or explore Louisville before returning to the peace and privacy of Whispering Pines.

    Covered porches on both the front and back of the home invite you to slow down and unwind, with a spacious great room connecting everything in between. This central gathering space includes the living room, kitchen, dining area, full bathroom, and office — making it ideal for spending quality time together, sharing meals, or hosting special moments with family and friends.

    The first-floor bedroom sits just off the great room and features private doors leading directly to the rear porch. Imagine waking up, stepping outside with a cup of coffee, and watching the morning light filter through the trees while deer and wildlife pass quietly by. It’s a peaceful, cozy way to start the day or wind down in the evening.

    The second bedroom is upstairs with a large walk-in closet, while the third bedroom is located in the basement next to the laundry room. All three bedrooms offer scenic views, closets, flat-screen TVs, and storage for your belongings, creating comfortable retreats after a day of exploring. The first- and second-floor bedrooms each have their own private full bathrooms for added convenience.

    Additional sleeping options include a sofa bed in the great room, an extra queen mattress in the upstairs closet, and air mattresses to accommodate larger groups.

    Guests are welcome to explore short trails that wind through the woods, where wildlife sightings are common and nature feels close at hand. The trails extend across several acres and lead to an open field (utility easement) on the east side of the property, surrounded by scenic hills and Whispering Pines. There are neighbors to the west, but the spacing between properties maintains a private, peaceful atmosphere. Behind the home, the land drops down the knobs, offering beautiful seasonal scenery year-round.

    You’ll be hard-pressed to find another property with this much space, privacy, and natural beauty so close to the city — especially at this value. It’s the perfect blend of comfort, nature, and convenience.

This is the second time we stayed at the cabin. Gabe is a great host, is very friendly and responsive, and got us everything we needed if it wasn't already in the cabin. Hope to visit again soon!

This place was great. Perfect for our bourbon trail adventure! My family of 5 had a great time place was clean, bathrooms had hot water and close proximity to everything. The only complaint i had was the pillows on the beds weren’t really comfortable. But i will come back to this place when we do the trail agin 5/5

We enjoyed our week at this cabin in the woods. The location was perfect because it was a lovely wooded lot but close to everything in town.Gabe was fantastic with communication and the whole experience was easy and relaxed.We had deer come right up to the house on our first night there, and we enjoyed using our Merlin phone app from the back porch to identify a variety of wild birds in the yard.The house was equipped with everything we could possibly need and was clean and roomy. It was a bit noisy at night with a train and airplanes flying overhead all night but we managed to get restful sleep regardless.We would definitely stay here again. It was a good experience.

We had a great week here in New Albany/Floyd Knob. The house is spacious and nicely decorated and the back porch was a perfect spot to sit and enjoy the wooded lot and all the birds. For us it was the best of both worlds: a quiet place in the woods to stay but in just 15 minutes in the car we could be in downtown Louisville where we had dinners out at great restaurants 5 nights. New Albany has some good local restaurants too that we used for takeout our first couple nights. We would highly recommend this for its beauty and convenient location. We were able on a daily basis to travel 15-30 minutes to great parks in Indiana and Kentucky for hiking, walking along the Ohio River, and for biking. Just a great spot and the owner was very responsive to all communications.

Perfect hideaway

Absolutely stunning accomodations. Felt like we were in Colorado rather than Louisville, KT. Very clean, multiple baths and bedrooms. Enjoyed the large screen television, wifi, and games. Convenient to town and restaurants with great access to the highway. If we head back that way again, we will definitely book again!

Spring Break Cabin

My family and our dogs really enjoyed staying at this cabin for a short getaway. The house was clean with all of the amenities to make you feel at home. The house is nestled away from the busy city and allowed room for our two boys and dogs to run! The owners were attentive and everything is as described.

Peaceful and private stay

We enjoyed a quiet restful stay at the cabin, a very private setting. We were visited by turkeys, turtles, and deer. Just what we needed to unwind! We were able to access great places to hike and visit Louisville within 20 minutes driving, and just enjoyed driving around the winding roads. Gabriel is a great host, accommodating to our requests and just overall friendly!

Speed Dog New Albany

The house was great. Although the steps to the upstairs bedroom were a bit steep (I need to lose some weight and get a new knee! LOL). We had plenty of room and the dogs loved their sniffy walks in the woods. Tons of parking! Sad that this was a working trip and we didn’t have much time to spend relaxing at the cabin. Close to grocery and restaurants. Great communication with the host. Would definitely recommend to anyone that needs comfortable space!

Perfect for family

This property was absolutely perfect for our blended family with 4 teens. It gave us all ruin to spread out. Everyone found something fun to do while there, from outside exploration to a record player inside. The porch was lovely to sit outside in the morning. It was quiet. There was a family of turkeys on the property. Everything was clean, well organized and just nice. We had a working washer and dryer, were able to get groceries delivered, the kitchen had everything you could ever ask for! It was a short drive to Louisville, we would stay here again should we be back. The only down side? This might be the perfect rental for our family and we may never find anything as perfect again.

Amazing Country Getaway Minutes from the City

This cabin is large with 3 good sized bedrooms (one on each floor which gave privacy) and 3 good sized full bathrooms. One upstairs, one in the primary (main floor) and another on the main floor. When we walked in we were greeted with a large lit Christmas tree and amazing smells. It was very clean. The cabin is in a nicely wooded area that makes you feel that you are WAY out in the country but in reality you are just minutes away from the city and not far from Louisville where there are tons of things to do. We had 4 adults and 2 kids and there was plenty of room in the cabin. The host provided board games which we played almost everyday. The boys loved exploring the woods and we felt very safe there. The host was very responsive to all our communications and the cabin was easy to find. A wonderful holiday vacation get away for which we will have lasting precious memories.

This place is absolutely perfect. Close to the highway but not too close to be a disturbance. Beautiful cabin back off the road, so it’s private. I would recommend everyone to stay here, and Gabe is one of the best hosts I’ve ever had. Great experience overall, hope to return again.
