About this property

Bottled in Bond: Featured on HGTV, Close to Buffalo Trace, Sleeps 10

This swanky loft has so many WOW factors your eyes will be dancing! Enter the setting through the vintage revolving door or conveniently on the elevator and arrive on the scene of this character-packed accommodation. The owners have transformed this late 1800s space from what was once a clothing factory into what looks like a scene from a James Bond movie. You’ll enjoy features from its former glory such as original trusses, exposed brick and hardwood floors. And the updated details will blow your mind.

Kitchen:
• Stunning state of the art kitchen that features quartz countertops and backlit white onyx
• Commercial grade stove that doubles as an art piece and will make any cooking you do a culinary experience
• Plentiful sleek custom black and gold cabinets
• Premium appliances
• Linear Fireplace situated in custom lit tiled accent wall

Dining Area:
• Custom dining table made from wood from Jim Beam Distillery that’s been electrocuted (yes, you read that right) to feature a one-of-a-kind design!
• Seating for ten guests in trendy velvet chairs

Living Area:
• Custom built round gold leather couch surrounding a suspended fireplace and provides the perfect setting for conversation and cocktails
• Custom designed and built poker table that seats nine.
• Oversized plush couch in front of retractable projector for watching movies, games or your favorite show
**Unfortunately, the Skee ball machine was recently broken. Because it is vintage, we have had a hard time repairing. Working our best to get it up and running.


Common Area:
• The loft offers three additional living areas that can be converted into sleeping areas. These each include a Queen-sized Murphy Bed and are partitioned off by glass accordion doors, glass garage doors and custom velvet privacy curtains and are virtually soundproof.

Private King Suite: Enjoy our King Suite with its more masculine charm. It boasts
• Luxurious king-size platform bed with sleek yet super comfortable bedding,
• Smart TV
• Linear fireplace.
• Tremendous skylight
• Spa-like bathroom with double sinks, double rain showerhead and magnificant tub and private water closet.


Private Queen Suite: This room is full of whimsical touches that make it a guest favorite.
• Gold Canopy Bed
• A catamaran-like net that spans the entirety of the room reachable by a library ladder. Guests love to lay and stargaze through the expansive skylight just above it.
• Smart TV
• Lavish bathroom with double vanity, rain and wall mount showerhead, shower bench and private water closet.

Guest Bathroom:
• Vintage trough sink
• Spectacular tile design
• Shower with two rain showerheads and plays off the curvature of the revolving door.


Additional Features:
Ability to pipe music through the entire loft or individual rooms through Russound App.

Additional Notes:
This loft is connected to our wedding venue, The Gatsby. If the event space is rented, you will hear some sounds of the adjoining festivities. However, event music must be off by 10pm and event guests are gone by 11pm.

Guests can bring their own poker supplies or, with ample notice, we can rent cards and chips for you for a $100 fee.

PRIVATE CHAUFFEURED TRANSPORTATION:
Let us navigate your perfect day and accommodate your transportation needs during your stay with us! Our experienced drivers have knowledge of the quickest and most beautiful ways to your distillery destinations plus the inside scoop on some local eateries. We’ll take the wheel while you enjoy the company of friends and family and arrive safely and in style.

Beautiful property, good location
This property is one of a kind. It is hard to beat. Very clean, perfect for a large group of friends. Amenities in the glass enclosed rooms were tough (like no dresser drawers or place to store make up and whatnot) but certainly manageable for a few nights.

Great stay, great location. Unexpected visitor
Our stay was great and very convenient for our wedding. There was a tour of the venue that we were given a heads up about. However, while touring the venue the employee brought people into our VRBO while people were changing, getting prepared or occupying the space. We didn’t mind the venue being toured but the tour of our private space unannounced seemed inappropriate.

Beautiful and very unique property. Melinda was great to work with both before and after our stay. Would highly recommend for those exploring the quaint town of Shelbyville, and the surrounding bourbon attracts fry ions and Churchill Downs. Centrally-located for all!

Only Suggestion is to improve the music system with Sonos or similar system with speakers around the loft! Sounds from Television are not same as stereo and dampen the mood!

Amazing Loft!
Property was very clean, comfortable and unique. I was celebrating my birthday with friends and family and enjoyed the unique space. With three of the 5 sleeping spaces not actual bedrooms, privacy was limited. Two of the three bathrooms were in the 2 bedrooms which made for limited use. The firepit in the center of the living space was amazing a great area to sit and talk. We had an issue with private limo service which we booked for a day of sight seeing. Owners refunded. I would definitely visit again.

This place is everything
We stayed here with a group of friends while doing the bourbon trail. It was everything we hoped for and then some. I love finding cool and unique places to stay. This one tops my list for now. If you have some time visit the little deli across the street called McKinley's. The food is to die for. Also, the coffee shop down the road called the paddock makes a great cup of coffee and a decent muffin. Do yourself a favor and stay here. No regrets.

Gorgeous Loft!
Even better in person! Surprised my husband for his 50th birthday and had an amazing time using the loft as our base to tour the Bourbon Trail. Plenty of space for 4 couples — 5 would work as well but makes it tough with only 3 bathrooms and not a lot of counter/extra space in bathrooms. The circular fireplace is awesome!! We loved hanging around in Loft, and being able to walk around downtown to the restaurant and shops is a big added bonus! Highly recommend!

Bottled in Bond Loft: The Real Deal
While some "lofts" are simply manufactured titles, this is the real deal. What looks like an original industrial space in a turn of the century building has been transformed into a fantasy meets reality experience. The amenities are glamorous and upscale. It is the perfect place for large groups to gather in a convivial setting while still having room to spread out. Guests should be able-bodied, as the elevator is only available during business hours. Highly recommended!

Perfect Girl's Weekend
This was the absolute perfect loft our girl's weekend. The property was beautiful! Tere was way more space than the 8 of us needed, the beds were comfortable, the 3 full bathrooms made it easy for us all to get ready on time each day. We brought so much food, and the kitchen had room to accomodate it all. We loved it so much that we stayed in playing games and just enjoying the loft instead of out to a bar at night. If we ever need to rent in the area again, I would 100% go with this property again.

Perfect Weekend
This loft is fabulous in every way! From the jaw dropping first glimpse through the revolving door, to the exploration of each sleeping “pod”, to the discovery of the netted bedroom ceiling, there are cool surprises everywhere! Everything was well stocked and highest quality. The weather was incredibly cold, so having that amazing fireplace and cozy hangout space was key to our memorable experience. We loved every single minute.

This place is absolutely perfect for a gathering of friends/family. The owners were very attentive and certainly accommodating as well. The bathrooms are large size and the beds were extremely comfortable. The kitchen was very clean and worked well with our group of ten. As the pictures indicate, the furnishings are top notch and very clean. I most certainly will go back!! We had a blast!

Great space!
We celebrated my wife's birthday here with some close friends. None of us had ever been to Shelbyville, but it is a great small town with lots of unique restaurants/coffee shops/antiques. The rental itself was perfect for us. Plenty of space for everyone to hang out and just have a fun weekend. We spent most of our time staying warm around the circular fireplace. We would definitely consider renting again.
