John was a great host. We enjoyed the property. The Beam distillery is close by and the tour was great. Bardstown not far either and worth a visit.

Great place to stay off the beaten track. Wonderful place to watch the wildlife. Have a cup of coffee on the porch in the morning and enjoy nature. The cabin is a nice mix of modern convenience and rustic feel.

Exceptional property! Charming and VERY remote, which we found ideal, but still convenient to everything the Bardstown sector of the Bourbon Trail has to offer. Everything you need to feel comfortable, and some unexpected entertainment options (ping pong, puzzles, books). The enclosed porch is perfect for sitting out rainy days, and the fire pit makes for cozy evenings. We were talking about coming back before we left!

Peaceful getaway!

This cabin was perfect! It was so clean, and had everything we needed for a family of 4. The quiet area was very enjoyable and loved hiking the property and walking by the creek. We would stay again, thank you for opening your home so others can enjoy its beauty.
