This place has everything. Perfect location for the bourbon trail. Clay was always available if we needed anything. House is clean and updated. The shuffleboard provided hours of late night entertainment! Would stay here every year when we come down for the bourbon tour.

Bourbon Tour Stay

Loved this stay - We took a trip to celebrate a couple of 30th birthday's on the Bourbon Tour and this was the perfect house for it. Very great location to the distilleries, restaurants, and coffee shops. The place was very clean and beautifully updated. The managers stayed in contact with us during our stay, but we never needed anything as it was ready for us when we arrived!

Bourbon Trail Experience

We stayed three nights and toured several distilleries in the area such as angel’s envy and buffalo trace. Our accommodations were exceptional. The home was well stocked, spacious enough for the four of us and the furnishings were comfortable and modern. The hosts were readily available for any issues or questions. Excellent place to stay!

This property was a great homebase for our stops on the Bourbon Trail. Nicely remodeled and well appointed with all the basics. Neighborhood can be occasionally loud as the fire station is a block away.

Great bourbon trail weekend stay with friends

We all loved the property and had more than enough space for 6 of us to relax after visiting distilleries. Having 2 kitchens and 2 living rooms was perfect when we needed some space or quiet, and there is a good sized tvs in each living room. The bathrooms and kitchens are nicely updated. We walked to dinner in downtown shelbyville - about 4-5 blocks. We would definitely stay there again.

Wonderful weekend in Kentucky

We stayed at this beautiful property for four days. The place was great, very well stocked kitchen and bathrooms were very nice. It was great to have a bedroom and bathroom for each of the four couples in our group. We pretty much hung in the kitchen when we were at the property, even though the living rooms were beautiful and comfortable. Would highly recommend!
