About this property

Bourbon Trail, Lake, Kayaks, Fishing - Lakeside Cabin

Be ready to embrace the symphony of nature colliding with eccentricity and antiquity, with today's the modern conveniences. When at your cabin, you'll be along the Bourbon Trail, nestled in the holler of Willisburg Lake, Kentucky's top fishing hole. Twenty minutes to Bardstown, 40 minutes from Keeneland and an hour from Louisville and Mammoth Cave.

Your rustic cabin has an indoor swing (guest favorite), well-appointed kitchen, open floor plan, fire pit, large deck, and located on the lake for fishing, and kayaking.

Details of Space (inside and out): Remember the old Mother Goose poem of the crooked man with the crooked house?

Well, welcome to your unique home away from home, where being different, and crookedly awkward are accepted. :) Your cabin sets up high on the lake with an open floor plan and ceiling-to-floor windows throughout and a large deck fully furnished for your enjoyment.

- Spacious kitchen is well-equipped with the essentials needed to prepare a nice meal for you, your family/friends (colander, garlic press, pots/pans, baking dishes, blenders, etc).

- Eight beds (no sofa beds -- all beds). One bedroom with a California king (sleep number) and one large loft with a queen, full, and two twins. You and all your family/friends are sure to sleep well here

- The dual shower-head shower is heaven. Oh, and we have your toiletry essentials (shampoo, conditioner, and body wash, hair dryer and soft extra ply toilet paper) and just in case you forget, we even have an extra toothbrush if needed.

- Deck with outdoor furniture and BBQ. Enjoy the sounds of nature while unwinding, watching a herd of deer while having dinner.

- Fire pit with a firestarter kit available near the lake with four Adirondak chairs and benches

- Kayaks (two) available along with life jackets and oars. (one tandem and one single).

- Fish galore! Th lake is Kentucky's #1 fishing lake for large-mouth bass and #2 overall for fishing in Kentucky. The large-mouth bass, bluegill, white crappie and shell-crackers and more are awaiting your fishing hook! Okay, maybe that's a stretch. I'm sure they are not looking forward to getting hooked by you! :)

One with nature is where you will be during your visit on this one-acre property waiting for you.

We are in the holler, so expect to travel on gravel for a mile or two before arriving. Also, the cabin sets high above the lake, so that means the driveway and the walk to the lake are both on a downward slope, yet all walkable and very well lit.

(No swimming per Fish & Game, but kayak, canoe, fish and skipping rocks are welcome!)
Guest access
Keyless entry. Your keyless code will be provided on the day of your arrival.
Other things to note
Lastly, we recognize you had many choices but chose our little rustic cabin as your getaway spot. Thank you. We hope you create many unforgettable memories during your stay. Note, we may be new at this, but we thrive in providing the best of Kentucky's finest southern hospitality. That is our promise to you. We look forward to serving you. Mary & Dave

Beautiful wooded cabin
Stayed at the cabin with my two sons and a friend of theirs. We came from four different states to enjoy a guy’s trip. We participated in bourbon tastings, tours of distilleries, and attended the PGA tournament during our stay. The cabin was beautiful and the hosts have done a wonderful job of decorating the cabin and providing many thoughtful amenities. Communications with the hosts were easy, accurate and prompt.

If you are looking for a peaceful place to unwind … this is it!!
The cabin was so quaint and charming. Fully stocked with everything you need. The back deck overlooking the lake was so beautiful. We saw many birds and squirrels and a few people fishing. After a long day of distillery tours and sight seeing the back patio after sunset was the place to relax and sip a few adult beverages. The swing inside was my personal favorite - my spot for morning coffee. Would stay here again. Thanks!

A MUST PLACE TO STAY IF YOU ENJOY SERENITY... FROM THE INSIDE TO THE OUTSIDE. WE FELT AT HOME THE MINUTE WE STEPPED INTO THE CABIN, THE HOME WAS TASTEFULLY DECORATED WITH ANTIQUES, THE HOUSE SMELLED WONDERFUL LIKE A BAKERY SHOP, NOT TO MENTIONED THERE WERE LARGE CHOCOLATE CHIP COOKIES IN A JAR JUST WAITING TO BE EASTEN, A TABLE SET WITH AN ELECTRIC NOSTALGIA, TO MAKE YOUR OWN S'MORES. WE HAD A VERY BUSY SATURDAY ENJOYING OUR 1ST TRIP TO SEE THE 150th KENTUCKY DERBY WHICH WAS ONLY 1 HOUR FROM THE CABIN. EASY DRIVE TO LOUISVILLE I MUST SAY. AFTER A LONG DAY AT THE RACE, WE CAME HOME TO A HUGE SHOWER THAT WAS LARGE ENOUGH FOR TWO. NOT TO MENTIONED THE TEMPUR=PEDIC MATTRESS IN THE MASTER BEDROOM WAITING FOR US TO REST THAT TIRED BODY OF OURS. THIS PLACE IS VERY CLOSE TO THE BOURBON TRAILS, WE ARE DEFINITELY COMING BACK TO ENJOY THE LAKE TO DO SOME FISHING AND TO ENJOY THE DISTTILLERIES THAT WE MISSED OUT ON THIS 1ST VISIT HERE AT THE CABIN A MUST PLACE TO VISIT. BY THE WAY, WE ARE AVID TRAVELERS & MUST ADMIT, THIS WAS ONE OF THE NICER STAYS FOR US IN A LONG TIME.... BRING YOUR FAMILY THERE'S PLENTY OF SPACE. WE BROUGHT OUR TWO ADULTS GROWN-UPS AND THEY ENJOYED THE CABIN AS WELL. THANK YOU FOR MAKING YOUR CABIN A GREAT PLACE THAT FELT LIKE HOME TO US. KC & KC
