About this property
Bourbon Country Cabin with HOT TUB and Fire Pit on Brashears Creek
Located on beautiful Brashears Creek in the heart of Bourbon Country, this loft style cedar cabin makes a great central location to visit some local distilleries and wineries. It is also a great place to stay for anyone who might be in the area for a horse show or interested in antique shopping along Shelbyville's historical Main Street. My personal favorite thing to do at the cabin is enjoy the creek. We love to canoe, kayak or even just float on a raft depending on the conditions.
This is a cozy, rustic cabin in the countryside. The property is accessed by a gravel road and includes simple, durable features like sealed concrete floors-all part of the relaxed, country cabin experience.

A rustic cabin situated in a quiet rural setting with all the essentials provided for a restful getaway. Clean and well maintained, with a super simple check-in process.
The property is definitely off the beaten path which was just what we were looking for. A lot of privacy and seclusion for a great getaway weekend. Amenities were great and the inside of the cabin just felt so rustic and old timey. Really enjoyed our stay 10/10
My dad and I had a great stay at the cabin. We were in town for the PGA Championship at Valhalla and the cabin was a great place to unwind after a long day in the course. Lots of great golf courses around the area to play as well! Thank you for such a wonderful stay! We felt very safe and comfortable at the cabin!
It was such a peaceful stay, we stayed here a year ago, and decided to come back with our kids this time. They loved exploring the creek and playing in the big yard
Great property situated between our destinations on the trail. The stream across the street was a nice bonus. Rustic cabin was perfect setting for our trip.Loved the old leg tub and shower! The cabin is dark with not the best lighting. Prepping food on the kitchen countertop required strategic angles not to cast a shadow. Grill and hot tub are well maintained. The small truffle/trundle bed upstairs is not adequate for an adult, maybe a small child. Overall we enjoyed our stay.
My husband and I had a fantastic weekend getaway here. The kitchen was well stocked, the cabin was clean, the bed was comfortable, and the wood burning stove made it so cozy. We loved relaxing in the hot tub and walking along the creek. We’re looking forward to coming back at different times of the year to enjoy the cabin and the farm again!
Cabin was exactly as described. Loved the rural location as it allowed us to escape our daily grind. Host was top notch. We enjoyed the creek, hit the bourbon trail, and even met a few of the neighbors. Highly recommend.
Peaceful property centrally located between Louisville and Lexington. Cabin felt like home with all the amenities. Beds were a tad small as a previous review stated but that did not affect our stay. Water pressure for shower dipped if using water elsewhere at the same time but that is to be expected with a well. Also, did not affect our stay. The hot tub was an added bonus and centrally located for serene views. Highly recommend!!
Our stay was great from beginning to end. The cabin had all the amenities you could need and then some. The owners have thought of pretty much everything. Any questions we had were quickly answered by the owners as well. The bed was soft and comfortable. We didn't use the kitchen much, but it was nice having a full one available. We enjoyed the quiet of the area immensely. My husband and I had a wonderful stay while checking out the bourbon trail. If we're ever back this way, we'll be staying here again! Side note - if you have Verizon, be aware that service is pretty spotty.
This is a great little cabin in a perfect location. Just be careful on your journey to and from the property as the road is narrow, and there is wildlife. And just like a cabin, bring everything you may think you will need as there is nothing "close". The host is gracious and easy to communicate with. We are plannimg on visiting again with more friends next year.
The property was really cozy, warm, and inviting. Hosts were extremely timely in response to concerns. We did not use the hot. But did take a walk to the water. Only issues we had were 1-2 birds flying in to the heater and making an incorrect vehicle choce for the drive there ( gravel roads for the last little bit to the cabin)
This property fit our family of 7 adults and 3 children perfectly during our 7 day stay. Most nights we would prepare our dinner in the extremely well stocked kitchen and dine either on the outside deck or at the lovely dining room table. And you are very close to so many activities like swimming, fishing, paddle boarding, golfing, hiking and swimming pools. This mountain house had everything we liked, including heated floors in the bathrooms, How lovely is that?! Well found the house to be very clean and ready for us to check in as promised, The host couldn't have been more helpful as we were planning our itinerary and answering any question that we had, This is a great place to escape and reunite with family and friends, My golden retriever may have had the best time of anyone!!
