About this property

Bourbon Trail Lakehouse - Pet Friendly!

Lake house? ✔️ 🛶
Bourbon Trail? ✔️ 🥃
Horse country? ✔️ 🐎

You’re sure to fall in 💗 with lake views, cozy bedding, modern decor & a well-stocked kitchen. Located in the capital on the Ky Bourbon Trail, this peaceful Lakehouse is sure to be the perfect getaway for couples, friends & families alike! Minutes to several distilleries, 10 mins to the Capitol, 30 mins to Lexington. Pets are allowed for $150 per stay (2 max).
There are only 2 dedicated parking spaces available in front of the townhouse. Please park directly in front - leaving 2 spaces to your left & 4 spaces to your right. There is additional street parking available for more than 2 cars.
We live nearby & are available if needed, but generally do not personally interact with guests.
This is a row of 4 adjoined townhomes overlooking a small lake, located in a residential neighborhood. Please be respectful of our neighbors.
This is a split-foyer townhome. The lower level features a living room with an electric fireplace, a 55” Smart TV, fully-stocked kitchen, a renovated half bath & dining area. Outside, you can relax on either of our two decks & enjoy the sounds of wildlife on the lake, cast your own line (bring your poles & kayaks!) or enjoy a cocktail after a day on the Bourbon Trail. We also provide a Weber charcoal grill, if you’re in the mood to BBQ. Guests will need to login to their own streaming services on the TVs.

Upstairs, you’ll find 2 bedrooms (one king bed & one queen), one full bathroom (shower only) & full laundry. The spacious primary bedroom features a king bed, a 42” Smart TV, desk, reading lamps (with USB chargers), dresser, luggage rack & closet. The 2nd bedroom features a queen bed, blackout curtains, reading lamps (with USB chargers), dresser, luggage rack & closet. A renovated bathroom w/ a glass-shower enclosure & a new washer & dryer complete the upstairs.

NOTE: We highly recommend travel insurance. If you need to cancel for any reason at any time, a processing fee will be deducted from your refund, regardless of the cancellation policy.

Quiet location and easy accesss

My husband and I stayed here for a long weekend for our first visit to the area. Everything was as described. Clean and very quiet. Washer and dryer were a plus. Kitchen well stocked with new cooking pans. Didn’t hear the neighbors at all. Will definitely come back!

Great Long Weekend Stay

The house was perfect. My friend and I stayed here for a long weekend away to celebrate her birthday. The house was beautifully decorated, comfortable, clean and peaceful. Having the double outside decks was great for sitting and enjoying the view of the small lake outside. The beds were super comfortable and the house had everything we needed. The owners were great about sending recommendations of things to do in the area and making us feel at home. They were even very accommodating when I needed to add a day to my trip unexpectedly. All told it was a great visit and we would definitely stay here again.

A gem of a property

This little house was nestled in a quiet neighborhood and overlooked a pretty little lake. The place was spotless and had all amenities we needed for the weekend. The bed was amazingly comfy and large. We were close to restaurants (we ate at Sonny's and got our free bottle of barbecue sauce!) and groceries which was great. The teip down to Lexington was easy and convenient. Our only small critique is the landing and kitchen rugs kept teipping us so we moved them fir our stay. Id recommend this lake house to anyone.

Didn't live up to expectations.

Since this was rated a "10 exceptional", we had high expectations. Needs some love...kitchen rug is a tripping hazard, posted as a non smoking property, but there was a definite old smoke smell, could be in the old stairs carpet or the walls. UpUpdatedpaint

Excellent Stay

Exactly what we needed. Our trip was only my girlfriend, dog, and I, and specifically for the Bourbon Trail and the Lakehouse was perfect. Very clean and quiet and more than enough space for us. Also in a convenient location with a nice overlook of the lake to enjoy a coffee or stiff whiskey. Would definitely stay again if we're back in the area.
