Late 1800's farm house on a 155 acre working family farm located in the heart of the Bourbon Trail. It is a unique experience to stay on our farm where we raise non-GMO corn that goes into producing bourbons here in Kentucky. The farm is rural and private, but convenient to Louisville, distilleries and many other local attractions.

Cabin with spectacular views, creek, & hot tub
Located on beautiful Brashears Creek in the heart of Bourbon Country, this loft style cedar cabin makes a great central location to visit some local distilleries and wineries. It is also a great place to stay for anyone who might be in the area for a horse show or interested in antique shopping along Shelbyville's historical Main Street. My personal favorite thing to do at the cabin is enjoy the creek. The water level fluctuates significantly depending on the amount of rainfall received.

Beautiful Farm Stay on the bourbon trail!
This memorable place is anything but ordinary. Enjoy the picturesque views from the farmhouse of the pastures. Watch as the sheep and horses graze. On the hour you can hear the sound of church bells. When the wind is right, the smell of mash from local distilleries wafts through the air. Make one of a kind memories on our beautiful farm. Included in your stay are fresh farm eggs (when available), enough coffee, creamer, sugar for the first morning, and 6 bottles of water and farm tour.

The cabin is located on a beautiful, scenic plot of land, shared by the friendly hosts, chickens, ducks and a couple of goats. This is a comfortable, quiet and quaint country experience!
