About this property

Parris on Main - Perfect for downtown Shelbyville, Bourbon Trail, and the Derby

  • About this space
    Parris on Main Street is the perfect location to enjoy the historic town of Shelbyville and, a few blocks walking distance to many antique shops, local coffee houses and great locations to grab a bite to eat.

    Newly renovated, built in 1942, this house is perfect for a family or group of friends wanting to experience the wonderful places Kentucky has to offer. Right in the middle the Bourbon Trail and about 30 minutes from Churchill Downs

    The space -
    This house features 3 bedrooms, 2.5 bathrooms plus an additional sleep room off the sun-room in the second bedroom.

    The master bedroom is a dream! Complete with it's own private sun-room with seating and coffee maker in the back, plus a private bathroom with a brand new large walk-in shower.


    Guest access
    Front door has keypad - guests will be sent code before arrival.

    The house is located right there in the heart of downtown on Main Street, with a private driveway and parking in the back of the house.

    Other things to note -
    While we have preserved the originality of the home including gorgeous hardwood throughout. We have added new modifications and modern appliances for a more comfortable stay.

    Also the house has an air mattress with sheets, as well as a pack n play.



    Please enjoy your stay. You have full access to the home and all the amenities! We appreciate privacy and want to make sure you have the same. However, we are a phone call away if there are any issues.

    Hulu is setup on the TV - Parris on Main Guest; please enjoy

    Any food/drink in the house is fair game - help yourself.

    Check out - we do not require any special cleaning as you pay for that luxury. If you would like to start the dishwasher or laundry on the way out, that would be great, but 100% optional.

Great stay

This was our first trip to bourbon country. The location was perfect. Great host that went above and and beyond with little extras. Spices were in cabinet and coffee filters for example. Thanks for making our family getaway great!

Very cute

This little (not so little) house is adorable. It was a very nice and relaxing stay. My only complaint is the mattresses were too hard for my liking. Otherwise the host was great and very responsive. The place was clean and well equipt.

Charming House

We enjoyed our stay in Shelbyville. This house had plenty of room and charm for our 2 families. Hosts were quick to respond to our questions. We had a little bit of downtime on our last day and our kids had so much fun playing video games. It snowed on our last night, a prefect ending to a perfect trip!

Cozzy and roomy

Everything you could need is here. Very clean. I would recommend if you are vertically challenged like myself you bring a step stool if you are planning to get in the master bed. I stayed here because it was pet friendly and I was being my dog to Louisville for a surgery. It was perfect for what we needed.

Absolutely loved it and yes we will rent it again !!!

Lots of potential, but needs work

This was a family trip to the Bourbon Trail, and was an excellent location. It’s a beautiful home with great potential. While we greatly appreciated the appliances and amenities, the cost of those could have been better spent in the vein of privacy and comfort. The description of the beds misrepresented what was actually found. We have a 6’8” traveler, so a solid king bed is a necessity, and a day bed with a trundle is not that. Only after deep-diving into the listing did we realize that was the case. With very sheer curtains on some of the windows and no curtains at all on others, we felt like everything we were doing inside was on display for all to see. The master bath, while aesthetically pleasing, had several issues. The lack of A/C made a summer vacation miserable while in the bathroom. Beautiful shower, but horrible water pressure. Something has made its home behind one of the walls. Other upstairs bathroom has a blind that doesn’t go to the bottom of the window, so people can see in while using the bathroom or before or after showering. There is a gap on the bottom of the side door big enough for spiders and roaches to come in. With a shift in priorities, this could be an outstanding place to stay.
