Who stays here

Built for the trips groups actually take

Vaulted great room with leather sofas and a stone fireplace for a group to share

Friends' weekends and guys' or girls' trips

A guest from La Grange brought a guys' weekend of ten and called it close to the Bourbon Trail and minutes from I-64. With 11 beds and room to spread out, nobody ends up on the couch.

Covered patio with a hot tub overlooking the meadow

Multi-couple getaways

Four bedrooms plus a lower level with its own bedrooms and lounge mean couples get privacy at bedtime and a shared hot tub, bar and fire pit the rest of the day.

Speakeasy lounge bar with leather swivel stools

Bourbon Trail road trips

Louisville is about 40 minutes away, Frankfort and Lawrenceburg about 45, and Bardstown about an hour. Plan the day around distilleries, then come home to a bar of your own.

Covered wraparound deck with rocking chairs and a view of the Kentucky hills

Multi-family vacations and small team retreats

Registered overnight guests only, with quiet hours from 10:00 PM to 7:00 AM. It works for a long weekend of cooking together, hiking the trail and talking on the deck, not for events or parties.
