Easy drive to Lexington, and Bardstown

This is the place for you if you are looking to disconnect. No TV or WiFi so game nights and just talking are were on the agenda. The owner was thoughtful with extra touches like shampoo/conditioner/body wash and a soft throw in the living room. We thoroughly enjoyed the deck!!

A few night in the Box on the Beech

We enjoyed our stay in this one of a kind vacation space. It met all of our needs. We enjoyed sitting out on the deck and did some awesome star gazing out the big bedroom window. The shower was great, the bed was comfortable. Just right for us!

Awesome place to stay on the bourbon trail

Great property, exactly as described. Felt like home with how clean it was. Beds were extremely comfortable, and the view out the windows into the trees was refreshing. Perfect home base to spend time with your family while exploring the bourbon trail.

A beautiful and unique home!

The home was immaculate and was arranged in such a way that the 2 bedrooms had their own privacy. The deck looked out on woods and a path could be taken to the creek. We enjoyed the firepit and the offering that was left to make Somores. We definitely enjoyed our luxurious stay!

Perfect Weekend Getaway

This is the perfect spot for a weekend getaway- private, and yet just 30-45 minutes from lots of things to do. The accommodations were immaculate and unique, but what really sold my husband and me were the two kayaks that were provided to paddle on the Beech Fork River, which is right behind the house (we brought our own life jackets, but they weren't needed since the river was no more than about 3 feet deep at the deepest spots). We never encountered another person while on the river, which was great because it allowed us to enjoy the abundant wildlife, which included herons, turkey vultures, turtles, a mama and her baby racoons, and- our favorite- six full-sized river otters that slid down the bank, one after the other, right in front of us. What a memorable experience. We hope to return there soon!

Just needs a floor mat and/or broom/mop

We loved staying here; it was gorgeous, the kitchen and bathroom were lovely, the beds were comfy, and the forced disconnect from the grid was very refreshing. Whenever we visit the Bourbon Trail again, I wouldn't hesitate to come back!We have Verizon, and we were unable to access anything inside, and outside you get about 1 bar and very, very slow internet speeds. There is no Wi-Fi in the unit. If you drive 2 mins in either direction on the main road, you can get 5G UltraWide. Note: if you have a car that is very low to the ground or doesn't handle steep inclines on gravel very well, keep in mind that at night, in a thunderstorm, you may have a hard time getting down to the cabin.The only things they need to add are a welcome mat/boot brush and a broom and a mop. We went on a short hike and tracked in dirt and had no way to clean it outside of ruining a towel or two, which we didn't want to do, so we just put up with the dirt.

The coolest and most fun place to stay

My boyfriend and I, with his son and his fiancé, came to the area for a wedding. We ALL loved the secluded area, the privacy, the layout of the entire place. Even only having 1 bathroom for all of us was managed well. One propane tank lasted about 1 hour the first night and when attempting to use the second it was out. I contacted the property owners and it was filled before we returned from lunch that evening. Lovely exposed windows to the sun and to the darkness of the night. It truly is a place we will definitely come back to in the future. The best part, no TV, which allowed time to disconnect and play games and have a few drinks. What a wonderful place. Definitely a GREAT place. If you are on the fence, don’t be!

Great home base for bourbon trail and riding

This was a really neat place to stay. Clean and quiet with nice amenities. Having a bourbon by the fire pit at the end of the night was extremely relaxing. If you want to live off the grid for a few days (no reception, no WiFi), this is a great spot.

Amazing Views

The views are stunning! Love the idea of a converted container. Great space! It rained for a majority of our trip so the no-wifi was rough. We had a hot spot with us but connection was spotty. The rain generated A LOT of mud which made things a little messy since we had to go out a lot to walk our pup but host was responsive with ways we could try to manage the mess. Would love to visit again in the summer as having the river right there was really cool!

Great Central Location! Cool place!

If you've always wanted to stay in a container condo, this is the one to try. Super clean, very quiet but a nice place to unplug and just hang with friends. Perfect for 4 people or less. Loved the access to the woods for the dog, he had a blast running around. Host was very responsive to our needs and helped with our muddy paws. Thanks again for a great place to stay.

Awesome Place!

Honestly can’t say enough good things about this place. It is completely unique from anywhere else I have stayed and would absolutely stay here again. The ultimate opportunity to “unplug” and really just relax with friends or family. We had the good fortune of getting to meet the owner and his son and could tell right away that they are great people. We enjoyed walking by the river, and maybe the best part was sitting on the deck with the fire pit and watching all of the wildlife that was around the area. Overall it was a great experience and would highly recommend it to anyone.

Overall a pretty good experience. Everything was clean and in great condition. I guess I did not pay attention to the fact that there was no WiFi , and our cell phone service was zero inside the container, so I would come more prepared next time. I would also recommend that the first time entering the property is in the daylight

This is a beautiful rental! The decor and accommodations were wonderful. The deck backed up to the woods and the river. Kayaks were provided, and the water was easy to navigate. Communication was great with the host. Many of the distilleries were a short drive, and there were restaurants close as well. We will absolutely be back and hope to stay at this rental again.
