About this property

Estate: Heated Pool, Hot Tub, Game Rooms, Pets

A KENTUCKY COUNTRY HOME FOR TIME TOGETHER



If you’re the one choosing the house for everyone, you already know the challenge: finding one place where grandparents are comfortable, kids have plenty to do, teenagers actually come downstairs, and the adults can relax too.



That’s what Glencairn Knoll was made for.



Set on 3.75 private acres near Louisville, Glencairn Knoll is a beautifully updated 1958 Kentucky country home with the warmth and character of an established property, thoughtfully set up for the way families travel today.



Five king beds mean no bad room assignments. A main-level suite gives grandparents or anyone avoiding stairs an easy option. Two separate upstairs wings add privacy. And with a pool, covered hot tub, game rooms, karaoke, indoor play spaces, a large kitchen, and nearly four private acres, the house itself becomes part of the trip.



Children follow mystery clues and make snow cones. Teenagers head for the arcade or pool. Grandparents join the games. Someone who swore they wouldn’t sing ends up with the karaoke microphone.



And the person who planned it all gets to enjoy it too.



AT A GLANCE



• 5,500 sq ft on 3.75 private acres — room to gather and spread out

• Sleeps up to 12 — built for multigenerational stays

• Five king beds + queen sleeper — no bad room assignments

• Main-level suite — easy for grandparents

• Two upstairs wings — added family privacy

• 38-ft saltwater pool — all-day fun

• Covered 6-person hot tub — year-round unwinding

• Two game areas + karaoke — rainy-day backup built in

• Chef’s kitchen + 2 refrigerators — easy group meals

• Firepit + gas fireplace — cozy gathering spaces

• Nearly 4 private acres — room to roam

• 20–25 min to Louisville — close to the action, away from the noise

• Pet-friendly for up to two dogs



WHY IT WORKS FOR 12



Plenty of homes technically sleep 12. Glencairn Knoll was designed to make 12 people comfortable.



Ten guests sleep in five king beds across four spacious bedrooms. Two additional guests can use the queen sleeper sofa with an upgraded mattress in the separate Speakeasy Lounge.



The main-level primary suite has its own private bathroom.



Upstairs, the home divides into two wings, each served by its own full bathroom.



That means different generations and family units can stay under one roof without feeling on top of one another.



“Three families, each had their own ‘wing.’” — Monte



THE BEDROOMS

Additional

THE CHEF’S KITCHEN



Feeding a full house shouldn’t require a military operation.



The kitchen is made for several people cooking at once, big breakfasts, holiday meals, birthday cakes, late-night snacks, and long conversations around the island.



• 14-foot island with seating for 8

• 6-burner gas range

• Double ovens

• Two full-size refrigerators

• Fully stocked coffee bar

• Generous cookware, bakeware, and serving pieces

• Indoor and outdoor dining for 12



“The most hospitable host. The best-equipped Airbnb of any I’ve encountered.” — Andrew



GAME & PLAY ZONES



Rainy day? You still have a plan.



Garage Lounge

Pool table | Poker table | Foosball | Smart TV | Second refrigerator



Basement Fun Zone

Karaoke | Arcade games | Darts | Fitness room | Board games | Indoor AstroTurf play area



Secretariat Mystery Adventure

Follow clues around the property, search for Secretariat’s missing ring, and solve an interactive Kentucky history mystery together.



Staying in can easily become one of the best parts of the trip.



THE OUTDOOR ESTATE



38-Foot Saltwater Pool

Open year-round with night lighting and an 8-foot-deep end, weather and operating conditions permitting.



Covered 6-Person Hot Tub

Enjoy it year-round, rain or shine.



Firepit

Adirondack seating + firewood provided.



38-Inch Blackstone Griddle

Made for big breakfasts, burgers, and outdoor dinners.



Nearly Four Private Acres

Lawn games, soccer, frisbee, porch mornings, and plenty of room to move.



EVERY SEASON HAS ITS MOMENT



Summer

Pool days, Blackstone dinners, lawn games, and evenings around the firepit.



Fall

Cool nights, Kentucky color, Bourbon Country days, heated-pool afternoons, and hot-tub evenings.



Winter

Fireplace mornings, game tournaments, karaoke nights, and steam rising from the covered hot tub.



Spring

Green hills, wildflowers, longer pool days, and family gatherings before summer calendars fill.



The pool and covered hot tub are open year-round.



Optional pool heating is available by advance request for $70 per night for the entire stay. Seasonal temperature targets apply, and outdoor weather can affect heating performance.



MADE FOR GATHERING



Glencairn Knoll is especially well suited to multigenerational family trips, grandparents-and-grandchildren getaways, milestone birthdays, holidays, reunions, and wedding weekends.



Instead of twelve people scattered across hotel rooms, you get one place to actually be together:



Breakfast in the same kitchen.

Kids in the pool.

Grandparents on the porch.

Teenagers downstairs playing games.

Everyone back together for dinner.



“Our favorite home to rent—and we’ve rented a lot over the past 10 years.” — Holly, Kentucky



FRIENDS, COUPLES & BOURBON COUNTRY



The same layout also works beautifully for longtime friends and couples traveling together.



Five king beds mean grown adults don’t have to draw straws for the good room.



Old Forester, Angel’s Envy, Kentucky Peerless, and Evan Williams are approximately 20–25 minutes away in downtown Louisville.



Explore during the day.



Come home, pour something good, and stay awhile.



DOGS WELCOME



We’re dog people too.



We provide bowls, treats, a pet bed, and furniture blankets so your dog can settle in comfortably.



Up to two approved dogs are welcome. Pet fee: $100 per dog, per stay. Dogs are not allowed in the pool or on the pool deck. A signed pet agreement is required.



LOCATION — LA GRANGE, KENTUCKY



Country quiet. City convenient.



Glencairn Knoll sits on 3.75 private acres in La Grange, approximately 20–25 minutes from downtown Louisville.



Groceries and gas are about 5 minutes away, and charming downtown La Grange is nearby.



You can explore Louisville, Bourbon Country, horses, restaurants, and Kentucky attractions—then come back to a private country retreat.



“Comfortable luxury.” — Jean, Kentucky



THE KIND OF LUXURY WE BELIEVE IN



Glencairn Knoll is a beautifully updated 1958 country home.



Its character is part of what we love about it.



This is not a precious house where everyone has to worry about touching anything. It’s made for real vacations—wet swimsuits, pancake breakfasts, cannonballs, grandchildren, dogs, karaoke, birthday cake, and conversations that run later than planned.



Polished enough to feel special. Relaxed enough to actually enjoy.



More than anything, Glencairn Knoll is a place for connection—a place to swim, laugh, cook, play, slow down, and enjoy the people you worked so hard to bring together.



Built for Joy. Made for Generations.



If your dates are available, we’d love to welcome your family or group.

This is an amazing property, very well appointed and many thoughtful touches. (Our grandkids loved the snow cone machine!) It's close enough to Louisville for all the tourist sites and activities but far enough away for peace and privacy. The beds are very comfortable and the kitchen is well supplied. There are several cabinets reserved for guests' food which doesn't always happen!The pool and hot tub are great. The pool cover takes a little extra effort but is worth it.An air conditioner unit that cools 2 of the bedrooms broke but was dealt with promptly. Communication was exceptionally responsive.

We booked a family getaway with ages 55 - 18 months. We needed a place that had something for everyone and this Glencairn Knoll was perfect! The home was very clean and the amenities were outstanding. Our family enjoyed the clean pool and we appreciated the safety of the cover and fence. The hot tub was enjoyed multiple evenings. The pool and poker tables allowed for hours of friendly betting. The kitchen was the highlight for DIY pizza and family game night! The kitchen was fully stocked with everything we needed to prepare meals. They provided fresh towels for the pool, and even little things like sunscreen and toiletries.The location was perfect for day trips to Louisville and Bardstown and we even enjoyed the train through downtown LaGrange during dinner. The property itself if beautiful and feels secluded, while also just minutes from restaurants, grocery and the interstate. Deb has thought of everything as was an exceptional host! She provided detailed information about the property, checked in frequently to make sure everything was going well and provided recommendations for local restaurants and golf. There wasn't enough time in our stay to even enjoy the karaoke, game room, or fire pit. Must mean we will have to return!

When I say this property’s description undersells what it truly offers, I say that sincerely. Our family came here for our first meaningful gathering together, and from the moment we booked, Deb went above and beyond to ensure our stay would be more than we imagined. Weeks before our arrival, she took the time to answer every question with genuine care, warmth, and attention to detail. The property itself is nothing short of magnificent. Every amenity is thoughtfully explained, with clear notes and instructions that remove any uncertainty and allow you to fully relax. The level of organization, preparation, and thoroughness reflects an extraordinary investment—not only in the home itself, but in every person fortunate enough to stay here. What makes this place truly exceptional is the heart behind it. You are not treated like a reservation number; you are welcomed like family. There is a rare sense of peace, healing, and comfort here that cannot be manufactured. We originally planned to do much more during our trip, but simply being here became the experience. This property provided exactly what we needed: connection, serenity, and lasting memories. If you are considering staying here, do yourself a favor and book it. You will not regret it. What Deb has created is more than a place to stay—it is a gift.

We had the most amazing time with our children and our good friends. The teenagers always had some activity to do, the younger kids loved the pool and exploring the house, and the adults loved that the home had something for everyone. We rarely left the house because it was the perfect calm vacation that we all needed after a busy few months. The home itself is immaculate. Getting to cook in the beautiful kitchen while having countertop space for everyone to hang out, as well as additional tables and chairs close by made it the perfect set up to spend time together. Deb was phenomenal at communicating and we are so grateful we got to have this time together making memories that will last us a lifetime.

Amazing Property

We celebrated our first baby turning 12 at this amazing house. From day one, Deb answered all my questions before I even booked the house. She sent me ideas about what we could do on the trip. I travel with a lot of stuff. I did not even need any of it. The house was fully stocked with anything you would ever need. She even left flowers and a balloon for my baby girl. The house is well-planned, from the decor to the layout. The kitchen bar was so amazing. The beds felt like heaven. The pool and hot tub were so clean. We travel a lot. And this was, hands down, our favorite house. We pulled back up at home, and all looked at each other and said we missed our Kentucky house already. The neighbor is building a house, and there were no problems with that either. They were quiet and we did not even know they were over there. If you are thinking about booking this house, do so now. You will not regret it. We loved it so much.

About the host

Hosted by Deb Paul

Host profile image
Hi, we’re Deb and James Paul—hosts, storytellers, and passionate believers in the power of connection. After five years of hosting in Destin, Florida, we found our next chapter in Kentucky, where the hills are wide, the pace is slower, and family time stretches longer. We created Glencairn Knoll as more than just a vacation rental—it’s a space designed for families to reconnect, slow down, and remember what really matters. Whether you’re gathering around the table, playing in the pool, or just breathing easier under a Kentucky sky, we hope this home becomes part of your story. We’re honored to share it with you.

Why they chose this property

We picked this place because it gave us both—space to connect and space to breathe with plenty of room for everyone. It’s tucked just far enough from the city to feel peaceful but close enough for bourbon trail touring and brunch. The first night we saw the stars here, we knew it was the one.

What makes this property unique

Smart home technology, Karaoke room, salt-water pool, hot tub, fire pit and game room.
