Beautiful, spacious, secluded and private. All you are going to see is the precious deer roaming the fields and the beautiful horses. The pictures of the cabin dont do justice, it was so much more than expected, breathtaking views, wish i could have stayed longer.

Bourbon Tours and Louisville

The property is just as described. It was clean and the communication was easy and prompt. The kitchen might have been equipped a little more fully, but that's not uncommon in a rental.

Bachelor Party

Our stay at Denis' property was fantastic. The listing was very accurate in photos, and I found that there was even more space and furniture than was shown! It easily fit my entire group, and had everything we could have asked for. It made for a very relaxing celebratory weekend. I would definitely recommend this property!

Heaven on Earth

This property was absolutely perfect! It was at the end of a dead end road so you had privacy but still only about 10-15 minutes to town. The stocked pond was our favorite. My boys enjoyed fishing from the dock and I was able to relax on the porch and watch them. If we ever plan another visit to Kentucky we will definitely stay here again.

Loved It!

We had a wonderful time!. Our family wanted to go to the ARK Encounter and the Mega Caverns. The ARK was a day well spent. The MEGA Caverns have Zip Lining underground, it was awesome. This home was centrally located to these attractions so this is why we stayed here. This home is quite and secluded. My husband loved the stocked pond. He would have just stayed there the whole trip if he could. The home is beautiful and there was so much room for the 6 of us. We really enjoyed the foosball table. We sat out on the back deck in the mornings and evenings taking in the surreal scenery of the land. The Chef of the group loved the large gas stove and we really liked that he would cook the whole trip(lol). There is a town about 7 miles away to buy everything you need. Denis, our host was always available and hospitable. He helped us with all of our questions. I know if you are looking for a place to stay and want some down time to relax. You will love this home.

Family Gathering

Perfectly suited for an intimate family gathering. The yard is flat for activities such as Spike Ball and Corn Hole (we brought our own games) and it’s a 2 mile jog down and back on the gravel road to the paved road. Fishing was also fun. Kitchen, dining area and living room are spacious for cooking, eating and just hanging out.
