This cabin is truly unique! Very well appointed with cabin motif throughout. Loved hanging out on the breezy front porch after the day's biking. King bed was very comfortable, which is a deal breaker for us. Easy check in/check out. Owners are delightful. Cabin is situated on a large estate within a neighborhood of 5 acre estates. Amazing outdoor play equipment for young kids as well as owners' horses ready for carrot treats. You will love this place and will appreciate all it offers. Close to Louisville Loop recreation trail access points.

Wonderful vacation

This is a an inspiring home that we found perfect for a vacation in Kentucky. It is very well located for access to the Bourbon Trail and many other sites in Kentucky. The home is at the top of a hill on a large plot of land with wonderful views in all directions. We enjoyed seeing horses graze and many deer early in the morning with fawns. The expansive covered deck on this property is truly awesome and so relaxing - we spent a large amount of time on the deck. The hosts were absolutely terrific. They checked in with us early and in a timely manner, and also checked if we needed anything during our visit. They are wonderful hosts that have thoughtfully placed very nice sitting areas around the large property. The historic home has a lot of character with exposed beam walls in many rooms and every room has fun interesting things to see and enjoy. The home is very comfortable and very well stocked. We plan to return soon!

Relax between wedding events

This cabin sits in the middle of paradise. It’s located in a multi acre subdivision but it doesn’t feel like it. You are greeted by deer in the morning and dusk. The porch swing is wonderful to enjoy the evening breeze. I was raised in the country so it’s heaven to me. The home is a renovated cabin home that has had additions added throughout the years. I love how they brought most of the original logs back to life. If you don’t like rustic touches or the genuine historic feel of a farm/log home then this location isn’t for you. I wanted to stay longer just to relax and wished I had reserved a longer time. Thanks Tim for your true hospitality.

We Couldn’t Have Asked for a More Perfect Experience!

This was the perfect place for our big family! Mr & Mrs Story are the most kind & gracious hosts! To the extent of stopping by during their morning horse ride and giving our kids and grandkids rides on their horses! The cabin is awesome! Big and spacious with everything we needed. The setting is picturesque and the beautiful yard with all its play areas, hammock, tire swing,fire pits, etc was very much enjoyed by all of us! And was the perfect place for our Easter egg hunt! The memories we made here will be treasured always. Our son and daughter in law attend Seminary School in Louisville, we will definitely stay here again the next time we come to visit them!

Christmas Gathering

The cabin was everything that I had hoped it would be. The adults all enjoyed our stay but the 2 1/2 year old grandson was in awe of so many things. I heard him gasp with surprise and joy when he saw the kids bedroom decorated with Toy Story characters, when he saw the outdoor play area, then again when the neighboring horses came up to the fence so we could see them. Tim and Lynn are lovely down to earth people who are quite friendly and accommodating. I will definitely look into going back in the future!
