Nice hideaway in beautiful area
Beautiful drive through "horse country" to get to this cozy and immaculately clean cabin. The owner's driveway goes through the front yard but otherwise you are in complete seclusion, with sounds and sights of nature all around. Great place to hide away and relax after exploring horse and bourbon fun nearby.

A piece of heaven.
We were seeking something private, clean and quiet with some specific amenities and found it! This spot felt remote but was not far from anything. We enjoyed everything from the well appointed amenities to the view of our private pond to grilling on the deck. We recommend this for anyone seeking beauty and peace.

Perfect Getaway
We loved the cabin and property. Very comfortable, clean, and cozy. We were able to relax and enjoy the surroundings. The hosts were welcoming and responsive. Only suggestion is to have a place for large luggage. Other than that, perfect!

The perfect cabin
What a great find! We loved our stay. The cabin was exceptionally clean (you can't tell they allow dogs) and in a serene area. We loved having the pond (and floating living room!) and caught some fish. My son enjoyed playing football and running around all the grassy areas and using the firepit for s'mores. We even ventured through the small woods to the shores of the Kentucky River which is just behind the pond. The pictures don't do this cabin justice. It's about a 25-minute drive to downtown Versailles. We enjoyed being further away to get some peace and quiet. We'll definitely return!

Peaceful and pleasant
Our visit was relaxing and exactly what we needed. Ty
Awesome cabin. Had a great time with my family there. Very clean and everything looked brand new. There’s a blackstone grill on the porch that we didn’t get to use this trip but was very tempting. Would definitely come here again.

Charming cabin on a lake
Our stay at the cabin in Versailles, KY was absolutely charming. Nestled in a serene wooded area, it offered the perfect blend of rustic beauty and modern comfort, with breathtaking views from every window. The peaceful atmosphere and cozy amenities made it a wonderful escape, and we left feeling relaxed and rejuvenated.

Beautiful cabin in a beautiful location
Tastefully decorated cabin in an awesome location. We enjoyed using the cabin as a home base while we toured the Kentucky Bourbon Trail. We also enjoyed a evening fire in the fire pit and a delicious lunch from the location corner store!
