Exceeded Our Expectations
Judith and family made us feel at home and as comfortable as possible in their beautiful Kentucky hidden getaway. The house was spotless and very welcoming as soon as we walked in. Every creature comfort was provided. We truly appreciated the Keurig coffee and the food and snacks that we found. The towels were big and soft and there were plenty of them. The road in and out was always an exciting adventure and we loved seeing the bison and deer. We highly recommend Judith’s home. Every question we had was immediately answered and we had no issues whatsoever. Thank you for making us feel at home. PS: we had read in the comments to drive the road in the daylight the first time and that was excellent advice. It is a little nerve wracking but we never encountered oncoming traffic during our entire stay.

Perfect getaway
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.

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!

We had a great time visiting the Bourbon Trail and our VRBO house suited us great. There was a minor issue with the AC but our hosts did a great job trying to remedy the situation on short notice the best they could. We would go back in a heartbeat.

Kentucky Bourbon Trip
This property was perfect for our trip and appointment with Makers Mark! 30 minutes from both Makers Mark and Bardstown. Literally on a Hundred Acre Wood! King sized memory foam bed was comfy. Nice patio for a campfire. EXTREMELY secluded. One lane road for about 2 miles. All at a very reasonable price. We would easily stay here again. Cheers!!

Wonderful Place
We loved our short weekend while we visited distilleries on the bourbon trail. The house was perfectly located inbetween the Bardstown distilleries and the ones in the Frankfort / Lexington area. The house was fantastic, with everything we needed. Very clean, and easy to find, with all of the essentials to make us feel as home.

Long weekend getaway
It was truly perfect. We were able to unplug for a few days. We hiked, kayaked, bourbon trailed & relaxed. Able to fit in quite a bit with the perfect location smack dab in the heart of Kentucky. Hosts were very accommodating, seamless check in and out, had all the comforts of home while away. Would definitely stay here again!

Amazing property in the heart of bourbon country with fantastic host communication! Great location less than 30 minutes from Bardstown and 65 minutes to SDF/Louisville Airport. Enjoyed two perfect nights with two girlfriends- comfortable beds, two large bathrooms and lovely porch/fire pit made this property a highlight of our trip! Judith went above and beyond, and I hope to recommend this property to friends in the future if I don’t make it back soon myself.

Beautiful, Secluded Retreat
The space is exactly as described! The property is an old vineyard and you get the opportunity to stay in what once was a tasting room! The sprawling views are gorgeous and you have the freedom to explore the 100 acres. Judith is extremely accommodating and communicative, and while our stay was unfortunately cut short for personal reason, it was still a fantastic experience, and one we'll be back for again and again!

Kentucky country
The property owner is very kind and accommodating. It was pouring when we arrived and she took our wet clothing to wash for us. The home is not equipped with a washer and dryer. The property was very neat and clean. We had food provisions available to us to use as well. Fresh fruit, bread, eggs soups, snacks, etc. The country side is beautiful to view. Our son is in a wheelchair and we were able to accommodate his needs. If you're looking for a beautiful place to stay this is it. Thanks Judith we had a marvelous time.
