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. We love to canoe, kayak or even just float on a raft depending on the conditions.

DETAILS
There is a Hot Tub......
To ensure the safety of you and other guests, please follow the hot tub rules posted. DO NOT leave children unattended in or near the hot tub. Hot tub is cleaned, treated, and checked for proper functionality before every arrival. If any abuse requiring draining of the hot tub is discovered when a guest departs, we will collect your security deposit to cover the expense of additional labor, supplies, and water for a process that takes up to five hours to drain, clean, refill, and reheat for the next guest. We make every effort to keep the hot tub functional, hot and ready for each guest to enjoy. There is no guarantee that a mechanical failure can be repaired, as parts may need to be ordered. There will be no refunds or discounts due to a hot tub malfunction, and damage to the hot tubs, covers, and filters will be assessed to you.
