Loved the space!

Check in was super easy and there was great communication with the host. There were frequent trains nearby and I wish there was an outlet in the bathroom but these were only minor inconveniences and I would stay here again. Very stylish accommodations and loved being close to restaurants and downtown! Also a great central location for visiting a lot of distilleries

Great stay!

My husband and I went on a trip to Bourbon Country, and this location was perfect for our travels. Shelbyville was cute, and we enjoyed two local restaurants within walking distance, plus a coffee shop up the steps! Upon arrival, everything was neatly in its place and very clean- even the bedding and linens smelled clean, which I appreciate!!! The owner checked in with us to make sure all was well, but it was so easy and seamless that we didn’t need to bother for anything. Thanks for a great time! Fair warning…you will hear trains and traffic. It didn’t bother us, however.

Perfect Little Getaway

Beautiful industrial vibe. Great place for photos. Lots of unique shopping within walking distance. They thought of everything you could need. We loved playing all the games provided. Tv setup to watch Netflix, etc. was a great perk. Will definitely stay again.

Stay at the underground

We enjoyed our short trip to Shelbyville. This unit is walking distance to numerous shops and restaurants. It is a unique unit and the owners were very helpful. The Bell House, the gelato shop, the Paddock and La Cocina we’re all wonderful.

Cozy Industrial Vibe

This place was great! Walking distance to shops and restaurants. Short 30 min drive to Louisville or Lexington. Was nice to sit back and relax watching TV on the two large flat screens at the bar or living area. We will be back to see what we missed in Shelbyville.

FANTASTIC!

The, "Underground," is a fantastic stay all around! The decor is put together spot on! Smart TVs mounted perfectly. Clean, open, easy. Owners messaged back quickly while setting up reservations. Outdoor patio with tables, chairs, and grill all under lights. WOW. Great stay!

Bourbon Trail

We stayed here while visiting a few of the distilleries on the bourbon trail. It’s centrally located, 30 minutes to Louisville and 30 minutes to Frankfort. We had our two dogs with us as well. There is plenty of space out back for them to run. Just FYI there is no stove. We had planned on cooking the first night and missed the “No stove” section on the listing. No big deal. I would stay here again if we were back in the area.

Great Stay!

We always look forward to opening the door on a property that we have rented and this one was a WOW! Great location, clean, comfortable and unique. Located right between Lexington and Louisville and on the back side of a building right on main street with restaurants, cute shops and coffee in walking distance. Great place to stay and experience the Bourbon Trail. Will definitely stay here again!

Great Place!

What a great place and location. Clean, unique and comfortable! We were pleasantly surprised that the "Underground" would be available on such short notice - it was meant to be. The photos are a perfect representation of the property. Tucked underneath a building right on the main street of downtown Shelbyville so convenient to restaurants, cute little shops and a great coffee shop right next door. Also, the most convenient spot we have stayed in to experience the Bourbon Trail. Will definitely seek this property out again for our frequent trips to Kentucky.

Unique, fun place

My wife and I found this fun, unique place last minute and had a great time in The Underground. It’s in the heart of historic downtown Shelbyville with plenty of shops and dining within walking distance. We especially liked Paddocks coffee shop just steps away from the unit. Gerald and Michelle were fantastic hosts and made sure the process was smooth and as advertised. We would definitely stay here again.

The property was perfect for our stay. The large bar area accommodated a couple friends visiting for dinner one evening. Was within walking distance of good restaurants and craft beer. Would definitely stay at this location again. We have also shared with friends who visit this area as a place to stay.

To cool for us, almost!

This property was amazing! The location was central to everything we planned to do on our trip. We did many bourbon tours and went to several amazing restaurants. The Bell House was one of our favorite stops. The Underground was a great home-based. It had everything we needed and was near everything we wanted. I hope to be back someday!
