This is such a wonderful place to stay with kids. My kids loved all the swing sets and feeding Milo apples and carrots! The hosts are very helpful/friendly.
Communication was impeccable. Check in was so smooth. Location is second to none for the Bourbon Trail and many amenities close to the house. We will definitely book again!!!
Stayed at this property for a tour of the bourbon trail and it was fantastic! The property was beautiful and the owner, Tim, was awesome… highly recommend this property!
One of the best stays ever. Was very attentive to anything we needed and very friendly. Home was adorable and comfortable. Would stay again and recommend highly!!!
We loved staying in a piece of history. The views were amazing. Loved the spacious yard and play set for the kids. Loved the quiet ambience. Our hosts were amazing and great at recommending activities and restaurants. Definitely worth the stay.
Had a great stay at this home for the PGA championship. Home was clean, comfortable and in a great location. Property was peaceful and beautiful and would be great for families with kids. Hosts Tim and Lynn were amazing! Highly recommend!
The cabin was amazing!! Beautiful neighborhood and super friendly host. This place was awesome and the host was very friendly and helpful offering us dinner and entertainment recommendations and they were spot on point! We loved every place he recommended.
Our group of friends traveled to explore the bourbon trail and had an exceptional time staying at this cabin. The host was great and property is exceptional. Clean, spacious, and located within an hour of downtown and all major distilleries.
We were in for the Derby, great location and the house was everything we could ask for . Plenty room very clean and well stocked . Tim and Lynn were great hosts , went above a beyond , just a foot note the area and the property were absolutely beautiful. This is a must stay if you are in the area. 😊😊😊 also kids would love it.
Property owners were very communicative and helpful. The cabin and location are very picturesque and "rural Kentucky" feel without being too far away from town. A nice little place with an old cabin feel.
This was our family's 2nd stay at the cabin and we LOVE it! There is so much to do - our kids loved playing outside and the adults loved the porch-sitting! We had everything we needed at the cabin - they thought of it all. We will definitely be back!
The cabin worked perfectly for our family gathering. Our grandson loved the outdoor play places. The kitchen was well supplied and we made a full Thanksgiving feast. Lots of places to play games and visit. The hosts were accommodating and responded promptly to all communications.
Everything worked out great for us. The wedding we attended was just down the road and we had plenty of space to hang out and relax between events. The history of this place is great.
Thanks!
The house is beautiful, spacious and well kept! The property it’s self was very well kept and relaxing.Tim, the host is attentive and answered very quickly when or if there were concerns.
Loved the house, history, location and Tim came to meet us when we were sitting on porch. . Friendly and told us more history. Enjoyable trip. We saw deer on the mornings and beautiful sunrise each day. Neat decor. Also. Rated 5 stars.
This beautiful cabin has historic charm with all the amenities. The owners thought of everything. You can arrive and enjoy. There is plenty of space for family and is also great for just a few (we were 3 adult siblings). Views are amazing. Location is perfect - outside of town but close enough to enjoy all Louisville has to offer. The only thing better would be the flexiblity to stay longer. Tim and Lynn were great hosts - thank you so much. We will definitely return!
Property is exceptional. Well kept and cozy, but with a modern twist. Hosts are amazing!! Very attentive. Easy access to multiple destinations; whether it’s a grocery store, distillery or by the water. Highly recommended not only for adults but for families. Multiple activities on property for children. Thank you to Tim and Lynn!!
The cabin was everything that I had hoped it would be. The adults all enjoyed our stay but the 2 1/2 year old grandson was in awe of so many things. I heard him gasp with surprise and joy when he saw the kids bedroom decorated with Toy Story characters, when he saw the outdoor play area, then again when the neighboring horses came up to the fence so we could see them. Tim and Lynn are lovely down to earth people who are quite friendly and accommodating. I will definitely look into going back in the future!
We Couldn’t Have Asked for a More Perfect Experience!
This was the perfect place for our big family! Mr & Mrs Story are the most kind & gracious hosts! To the extent of stopping by during their morning horse ride and giving our kids and grandkids rides on their horses!
The cabin is awesome! Big and spacious with everything we needed. The setting is picturesque and the beautiful yard with all its play areas, hammock, tire swing,fire pits, etc was very much enjoyed by all of us! And was the perfect place for our Easter egg hunt! The memories we made here will be treasured always.
Our son and daughter in law attend Seminary School in Louisville, we will definitely stay here again the next time we come to visit them!
