About this property

The Shelby House | Historic Charm, Modern Comfort

  • Welcome to The Shelby House, a beautifully renovated home in the heart of Shelbyville, Kentucky. With two comfortable king beds, soaring 10-foot ceilings, beautiful wood floors, a spacious walk-in shower, and a private fenced backyard, this thoughtfully updated home combines classic character with the comfort of a modern stay.

    Located within walking distance of historic downtown Shelbyville, The Shelby House puts you close to local restaurants, coffee shops, shopping, and the charm of one of Kentucky’s welcoming small towns. Spend the day exploring and come home to a comfortable, peaceful place to unwind.

    Shelbyville is perfectly positioned for experiencing Kentucky Bourbon Country and horse country. Bulleit Distilling Co. and Jeptha Creed Distillery are both located in Shelby County, while many more Kentucky Bourbon Trail destinations are within easy reach. Shelbyville is also known as the American Saddlebred Capital of the World, with beautiful horse farms and quintessential Kentucky scenery throughout the area.

    Whether you’re visiting for a Bourbon Trail getaway, wedding weekend, business trip, couples retreat, horse event, or time with family, The Shelby House gives you a convenient home base with plenty of room to relax.

    After a day of exploring, stretch out in one of the two king beds, enjoy the spacious shower, or spend some time outside in the fenced backyard. The home is especially well suited for two couples traveling together, business travelers who want more comfort than a hotel, or a small family looking for a relaxed place to call home during their stay.

    Shelbyville offers the best of both worlds: the slower pace and character of a Kentucky small town while being conveniently located between Louisville and Lexington. From bourbon distilleries and horse farms to downtown dining, shopping, and day trips throughout the Bluegrass, there is plenty to experience nearby.
