About this property

Lofty Lodge on the Bourbon Trail

Come to the Bourbon Trail in the Heart of Kentucky! Stay at our beautiful lodge with large common areas perfect for hanging out! Our space is great for family trips, work retreats, or a couples get away! The lodge is located just 3 miles from from restaurants, groceries, pharmacies and shops. But at the Lodge you will enjoy the peace of the country. We are central to all the bourbon distilleries: 15mi to Maker's mark, 35mi to Jim Beam, 50mi to Woodford Reserve, Lexington and Louisville.

The lodge is the top floor of a converted old tobacco barn. Much of the year it serves as a hunting lodge hosting deer and turkey hunters. We use it as a rental during hunting off season. Every bathroom and bedroom is private. You must climb stairs to access the majority of the place. There is a DVD player and DirecTV with a complete package. There is free Wi-Fi as well. We do use the barn to store farm equipment, so we may be in and out of the barn if we are working but will not be in the living quarters. We will try our very best not to bother you!

We do also have a passenger bus that will accommodate those staying with us. We can get you set up to take on your bourbon trail adventure.

We live just down the hill at the house. So if you need us we can help you out, but promise not to bother you otherwise.

Roomy, comfortable and clean.

Enjoyed our stay. Property was very clean. Only drawback was very few places to hang or store clothes. Extra hooks needed in bathrooms. One bed was broken on one side, but I feel sure the owners will address that.
