AT A GLANCE 🏡 5,500 sq ft on 3.75 private acres 🛏 Sleeps 12: Five king beds + queen sleeper sofa with upgraded mattress 🏊 38-ft saltwater pool | Open year-round | Optional heat: $70/night ♨️ Covered 6-person hot tub 🔥 Gas fireplace + outdoor firepit 👨🍳 Chef's kitchen: 14-ft island, double ovens, 6-burner gas range, 2 refrigerators 🧸 Children's play nook in a converted walk-in closet | Pack 'n Play | Blackout window supplies | Humidifier | One baby safety gate 🎮 Two game rooms: pool table, poker, foosball, arcade, karaoke lounge 🌅 Front porch with rockers — sunrise over rolling hills 📍 20-25 min to downtown Louisville | Minutes to bourbon distilleries 👨👩👧👦 Main-level suite | Two upstairs wings for privacy 🐕 Pet-friendly for up to two dogs
WHAT MAKES THIS DIFFERENT 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 upstairs splits into two separate wings. Each wing has its own full bathroom. The main-level primary suite has a private ensuite spa bath, plus there's a half bath near the entrance. Up to three family units can spread out with privacy.
The house is designed to work across generations. Grandparents appreciate the main-level suite. Adults gather in the chef's kitchen. Teenagers have the game rooms, karaoke, and pool. Younger children have indoor play areas, rock painting, and the Secretariat Mystery Adventure.
"Our favorite home to rent—and we've rented a lot over the past 10 years." — Holly, Kentucky
YEAR-ROUND APPEAL Summer—The pool becomes the center of everything. Outdoor meals on the Blackstone griddle. Lawn games across nearly four acres. Evenings around the firepit while the sun sets over the hills.
Fall—This is Kentucky's best-kept secret. Warm afternoons, cool evenings, leaves turning gold and crimson. You spend the day exploring bourbon distilleries, then come back to steam rising off the heated pool. S'mores at the firepit. The covered hot tub after a full day of excursions. Front porch coffee at sunrise with a flannel shirt and the quiet you forgot existed.
Winter—The gas fireplace glows. Someone's baking cookies in the chef's kitchen while a slow-cooked dinner simmers on the range. Game tournaments in the basement. Karaoke battles. The covered hot tub steaming in the cold night air. 5,500 square feet means everyone has room to spread out without feeling cramped.
Spring—Rolling green hills. Wildflowers.Green budding leaves. Warmer pool days return. The Blackstone comes back out for outdoor dining. Everything comes alive again. A spring breaker's paradise!
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 conditions can affect heating performance.
BUILT FOR FAMILIES AND CLOSE-KNIT GROUPS Multigenerational families Two separate upstairs wings give multiple families their own sleeping zones, with a full bathroom serving each wing. Combined with the main-level primary suite, the layout gives up to three family units more privacy while keeping everyone under one roof.
Traveling with little ones? We provide a Pack 'n Play, blackout window supplies, a humidifier, and one baby safety gate. A walk-in closet converted into a small children's play nook gives younger guests a spot to play. Convenient self check-in via the smart lock makes arrival simple.
"Three families, each had their own 'wing.'" — Monte
Friend groups and Bourbon Trail exploration The chef's kitchen becomes the gathering point. Cooking together. Shared meals. Conversations that last for hours. Old Forester, Angel's Envy, Kentucky Peerless, and Evan Williams are 20-25 minutes away—close enough for distillery days, far enough to feel like a true retreat. The Speakeasy Lounge, garage mancave with billiards, fooseball and poker, plus a hot tub, and firepit create relaxed evenings without requiring the group to leave the property.
Couples traveling together Four spacious bedrooms contain five king beds, creating comfortable sleeping arrangements for multiple couples. Close enough to Louisville's restaurants and bourbon distilleries for day trips. Far enough away to truly unplug.

My family enjoyed the house. We loved the pool and hot tub and there were so many other things we could do while staying in the house. The kids loved all of the games and the karaoke. The house fit our needs perfectly and the hosts were very kind and helpful.

Thank you for taking the time to leave a review Abby! And thank you choosing our place for your celebration!
This place is amazing! The host was so easy to work with. Our grandchildren wanted us to buy this house so we could continue coming back! We never needed to leave and look for attractions or something to do. Every bedroom room was so roomy and comfy.The master bath is something you want all your quests to experience. The kitchen had everything you needed to cook amazing meals. The basement and the garage space was filled with tons of activities for every age. Thank you for a most memorable stay!

thank you for taking the time to review! We loved hosting y’all!!
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.
Our stay was incredible! The most amazing amenities and they have every age in mind for things to do. Games and even a karaoke room! They even have a scavenger hunt to compete as couples or families - such a treasured time. The pool and outdoor space is phenomenal. The master bathroom is to die for. The beds, are so comfortable and the bedding makes it even better. This home, the space, and the property is just so incredibly stunning. Communication with the host is perfect. If we are ever this way again, we will be staying here! We had the best time!

Brandon! Thanks so much for your kind words!! We are thrilled you enjoyed your stay and we do hope you’ll come back!!
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!
Had such a wonderful stay! The house was beautiful, fun and exactly as described. The host Deb was responsive, and made everything easy for us. Would definitely stay again!

Thank you so much Brandy! Hope to host you in the future!
An amazing house! Big kitchen, spacious bedrooms, and a basement that has entertainment for hours with games and karaoke. A pool and firepit area. We loved having privacy, and this house was perfect! The owner was very responsive and helpful.
This is one of the most fabulous properties I have ever stayed at. I brought my family to celebrate my doctoral graduation, and it was truly a pleasure to work with Deb, the host. I highly recommend this property if you’re looking for a peaceful, family-oriented space where you can have a great time.

My dad, brother, and I did a little boys trip for a few nights there. Wanted to get out of the hustle and bustle of our business in the city.

Thank you, Mel! Y’all were wonderful guests! Thanks so much for taking the time to review!
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.

Thank you so much for your kind words! you were an excellent guest, took great care of our property and you, your family and your pups are welcome back anytime! We hope to host you again in the future!
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.

Molly- thank you so much for this wonderful review! Y’all were the best guests and we appreciate you! Please come back! 🙏❤️
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
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.
