About this property

Guesthouse

Relax off the beaten path but close to conveniences! We are located within 8 miles to Maker’s Mark and Limestone Branch Distilleries, and 17 miles to Bardstown. We do live in the main house on the farm, detached and private from this unit.
It makes us the perfect getaway for 2 adults! (This unit has a maximum capacity of 2 adults with no exceptions) We pride ourselves on making this affordable, beautiful property, the perfect choice for your bourbon adventure.
Of special note:
If you are looking to be close to town then this probably isn’t for you. We are about 3.5 miles to a grocery store and 10 miles to Lebanon which is the largest town in the area with a Walmart.

This area is remote and surrounded by woods, creeks, and ponds. We do our absolute best to keep pests away from the residence but, unfortunately, they get in from time to time. We also have chickens that roam around and 3 cats that love people and tend to be lacking in manners.

While the internet works great most all the time, this property is in the country, with very limited options for service, outages can happen and are completely beyond our control. If you MUST have internet for your stay, we suggest you take this into consideration. Refunds will not be given for internet outage.

We do allow one dog, under 50lbs, with a pet fee of $30.00 per stay. We ask that you crate the dog when away and not allow the dog on the furniture. This rental is not appropriate for children, and has an absolute maximum capacity of two adults with no exceptions.

If you are looking for a clean, peaceful, relaxing getaway with plenty privacy then this is for you.

The area was quiet and was easy to relax in. The guesthouse had everything we needed. The only suggestion we have would be to maybe have a folder with some suggestions of things to do in the area or local restaurants and maybe instructions on working the TV. We had a great stay and would definitely recommend it.

Country Living
This spot was purrfect for my hubby and myself. Really enjoyed hanging with the outside kitties. If I didn’t already have 5 at home, I may have “borrowed” the big gray cat. The accommodations were everything we could have asked for. The bed was super comfortable. Beautiful place in the country…even got delayed on the road due to a calf getting out of a pasture down the road. Did get to see some deer in the yard the first night. A basic direct route into Bardstown and easy to get to the Amp concert venue at Log Still distillery. Would definitely stay here again. Peaceful and quiet setting.

Excellent accommodations
Had an amazing time, beautiful property, and excellent accommodations! We stayed for 5 days and took advantage of the peacefull nature and tranquillity of the property. Host had the unit well stocked including firewood. We enjoyed seeing the deer daily and relaxing by a fire at night. The bed had a new memory foam mattress and the softest sheets, my back thanks you for not skimping. There was a washer and dryer if needed and a tankless water heater for endless hot water, oh and great water pressure too!! They do allow dogs so I was worried prior to booking about a dog smell with my allergies, but there was none. It was amazing clean and fresh, Kelli takes pride in her home. Thanks, we will be back!

Peaceful retreat
We found it as described- beautiful, peaceful, well stocked accommodations. Didn’t find iron, but didn’t request one-I know they would have provided one! Close to the sites we wanted to visit. Enjoyed the rural area. Would come again if in area. Thank you!!

Charming hilltop guest house
We thoroughly enjoyed our stay here. The guesthouse is cozy without being confining. It is very tastefully decorated with quality furnishings. Kelli anticipated her guest's needs and supplied ample amenities from coffee and half 'n half to glassware, dishes, cookware, towels, soap, etc. It also proved to be a good central location for us. We were quite close to Maker's Mark Distillery, the Abbey at Gethsemane and a lovely Catholic church in the town dating from 1837. The local Backroad Burger restaurant had awesome food. All in all, it can't be beat! We will return.

Will Stay Again
We were visiting our son and family. This property is a perfect fit for 1 or 2 people. It is country living, peace and quiet. If you are doing the bourbon trail, short distance to Heaven Hill, Makers Mark, Jim Beam and others. Greeted with a special treat upon arrival and they also stock plenty of extra toiletries if needed. We will return.

Very nice.
My husband and I stayed for a week. It was a nice stay. We had everything we needed. The only thing is that the driveway was unexpectedly steep for me. We just aren't used to driveways like that in MS. Overall though, the visit was good and any problem/communication that was needed, was handled promptly.

Perfect Quiet Weekend
My husband and I went on an impromptu weekend stay for his Birthday and stayed two nights. Definitely off the map, but if you don't mind the drive to town/ distilleries it's ideal for the folks looking for a quiet weekend stay in the woods. Backroads were full of twists and turns with lots of beautiful farms with cows to see. We didn't get to spend a lot of time on the property other than sleeping but we did see lots of deer as we came back or left the property. Super clean and has the small stuff a hotel would have and more. They definitely care about you and your stay. Totally worth the extra drive out of town!

Peaceful home away from home
A wonderful place to stay within the rolling hills in bourbon country. Beautiful deer wandering through the yard were a sports man’s dream. Fun loving concierge cats made us feel right at home, welcoming and seeing us safely out. The home away from home was very comfortable and clean decorated with local and seasonal flares. The home has everything needed for a stay including thoughtful caring management. Highly recommend. It’s a wonderful oasis.

Fantastic property
This little place is a gem. Peaceful nature at its best. Close by in Raywick there is a neat little burger bar. In Lebanon, there are a couple more local pubs and everything you can ask for. We used this place as base camp for the Kentucky Gun Season and it could not have been more perfect.

Beautifully quiet location
My hubby and I were returning to Ohio from Gatlinburg and figured this would be a nice location to take a break fro the long drive and visit a distillery at the same time. We thoroughly enjoyed our “home for the night”, it was clean and very comfy. We appreciated the owners working with our rather uncertain schedule/travel time frame.

Vacation
We loved this property! We scheduled and then needed to add our four legged kids and they allowed us to with no problems. We were very comfortable and they had so many extras that have never been provided when staying at other VRBO's. The deer and turkeys we seen were a side benefit for my husband. We appreciate the chance to stay and we would like to again sometime.

We wanted to stay somewhere that wasn’t a neighborhood and we found it! Small house had everything we needed and allowed our 12 year old dog! We visited distilleries all over and had a blast. If we come back to Kentucky we would stay here again.

About the host

Hosted by Kelli and Jason Hardesty

Host profile image
We are a family of 4 that decided to leave the hustle and bustle of the city to return to our hometown 4 years ago. We purchased this farm and built our dream farmhouse on the property. We are both work in healthcare and appreciate the peace and tranquillity our small farm offers. We hope you love it like we do.

Why they chose this property

This property has been in my husband’s family for years and my husband grew up just down the road. He always loved the spot on the hill where we built our house.

What makes this property unique

We enjoy the peace and quiet of this property and being so close to our family and close life long friends
