We thoroughly enjoyed our stay!! The house is beautiful and we felt right at home!!!
Unique and adorable house with a great space downstairs to hang out. Wonderful amenities and everything was great quality. Large amount of kitchen cookware. There were a couple of items to address and the staff contact was amazing and sorted it out quickly. No complaints, highly recommend. Walkable to downtown Shelbyville.

Fantastic location for a large family or group of friends. The layout of the house provided for plenty of privacy in a large group, and the game room in the basement was a wonderful place to socialize. Location is great for visiting the bourbon trail and Louisville.
