Edgewater Resort, 20 minutes from Louisville, is Taylorsville Lake's premier vacation spot, tucked away in a gated community with over 163 acres that overlooks the marina. Within walking distance you'll find a community pool (seasonal) with a sand volleyball court and a fire pit. This two-story cottage sleeps up to 10 guests and showcases two private balconies in the master suite with a jetted soaking tub. You can also hang out on the private deck out back with a four-person hot tub perfect for star-gazing at night.
This cottage is under new ownership and has had recent updates in May 2020 featuring granite countertops and a beautiful tiled backsplash in the kitchen. All flooring in the bedrooms have been updated from carpet to luxury vinyl plank. Entire cottage has been freshly painted. The hot tub outside has a brand new cover as well as the new sofa bed in the living room.
The fireplace is for looks and is not operable. We do not list this as an amenity due to this.
Please note: This resort is NOT a party-town atmosphere. Quiet hours are from 10pm until 8am. We ask that guests respect this rule and also the other guests staying in the cottages around ours.
We welcome well-behaved children.
**We welcome our furry friends but do require an additional $100 pet fee. Even if your precious pet won't make any mess, this fee goes towards a fund to pay for the wear and tear caused by pets that we wouldn't accrue if we didn't allow pets. **
Please follow the hot tub rules posted outside on the fence. This will help ensure that all guests have a nice hot tub to use without any unexpected incidents.
There's a twin bed and a trundle bed located in the bedroom to the right as well as a twin air mattress. A Pack 'N Play with a freshly washed sheet can be found in the kids' bedroom closet as well as a twin air mattress. Two twin roll-a-way beds are stored in the closet upstairs to be used anywhere you wish. An assortment of board games are available for your non-screen entertainment and located in the kids' bedroom closet. There's a nice grilling area located off the back deck and a park like setting where you can take your chairs and hang out. We just ask you to return the chairs to the deck when finished.
NO BOATS/TRAILERS PAST FRONT GATE – Boat parking is located at the front, before you enter the gated portion of the community. Boats are not permitted inside the community and parking the boats/trailers are not allowed at individual cottages.
NO VEHICLES PARKED ON STREET OR GRASS – If vehicles do not fit in driveway, please park in one of the two lots, located in the front and back of the community. Parking is not permitted in yards, on the street or in common areas.
GARBAGE IN DUMPSTER ONLY – Self-explanatory, but please make sure trash fits inside the dumpster located at the front of the community. Garbage left outside the dumpster is not picked up by the trash company, causing it to sit and create a mess. Also, trash is susceptible to local animals tearing it apart and creating an even greater mess. Please don’t take up room with large items or place items next to the dumpster.
On weekends or holidays, this is especially important as the community has a higher occupancy level. Any steps or help you can deliver so that our community remains clean is appreciated.
NO FIREWORKS – For safety and consideration of other guests, fireworks are prohibited inside the community. We have guests of all types, some traveling with small children and animals. For the enjoyment of all Edgewater guests, please refrain from setting off fireworks inside the community.

This is the best location for a multi leg bourbon trip. The stop is only about 35 minutes from nearly every major spot on the trail, so it makes getting around very easy. The house is large and inviting, and we had no issues.
We stayed here for our trip to the Kentucky Derby. It was about a 40 minute ride to Churchill Downs but worked out great! Not really much traffic to and from and much more reasonable price than staying in Louisville that weekend.
Would have been great had it not rained the whole time there but was nice for guys trip. Plenty of beds and bathrooms

Thanks for staying, Mike. I'm guessing the 4 stars was due to the weather and not the cottage itself since it wasn't reported that way. Regardless, thank you for staying and we hope you come back soon!
The property was super clean, well stocked and the owner was super responsive with all inquiries. The location was absolutely gorgeous and we had a wonderful weekend at the lake.

Thank you for the nice review, come back and stay anytime!
Stayed for a few days and enjoyed how quiet the resort area is/was. Home was nicely furnished and stocked with things like shampoo, soap, towels, etc. Kids enjoyed having their own room, and the pool at the end of the street. Was nice to get away from all types of noise and just relax!
Everything was as described. The kitchen was fully stocked with everything we needed during our stay. The owner was very responsive and the hot tub was a wonderful bonus. We love the area for hiking and enjoy that it’s close to bourbon tours. We’ll definitely be back!

The area is very pretty. Walking distance to the lake. Cottage was decorated for and Christmas paperplates were left for us which was sweet. madaaadded.Mmmmpleasure.
This house served our needs very well as we explored the bourbon trail. You could have a few more cairns or cocktail glasses in the cupboards so that we could try our finds upon returning from our exploration. All in all a great house!

We appreciate the feedback and glad you all enjoyed your stay! Come back anytime.
We loved our stay at the house. Everything is as described and Josh responds promptly if a question arises. This was a great house for us. It is a little out of the way - but worked well for our stay. We couldn’t have been happy with the supplies for the kitchen and the house was squeaky clean on our arrival.

Wonderful home centrally located in bourbon country!
This is a wonderful home in a beautiful location! Stocked with all you will need for a peaceful get away. Centrally located in bourbon country. You can explore just about every distillery within 45 minutes to an hour. If you’re not into whiskey, spend time with friends and family on the beautiful lake. You couldn’t ask for a better get away. We’ll be back!
We just loved it. We had two cottages next to each other to accomodate 9 men for a relaxing weekend of golf and bourbon touring. The Cottages were very comfortable, clean and more spacious than I thought. I would easily request them again. Enjoy.

About the host

Why they chose this property
This cottage is owned by two families that are both friends. We live in Louisville, KY and wanted to have something close by but also out far enough to get away from the normal busyness of life. This cottage does exactly that.
Get out on the water for some fun in the sun or maybe stay at the cottage and get a much needed afternoon siesta. On a nice clear night you can have a glass of wine while sitting in the hot tub looking for your favorite star constellations!
Our hope is that we can provide a nice vacation cottage for guests to stay in while also being able to use this property for our own families every now and again.
