Great location

Guests who stayed here in the past year loved the location.

Dedicated workspace

A common area with wifi that’s well-suited for working.
Located on beautiful Brashears Creek in the heart of Bourbon Country, this loft style cedar cabin makes a great central location to visit some local distilleries and wineries. It is also a great place to stay for anyone who might be in the area for a horse show or interested in antique shopping along Shelbyville's historical Main Street. My personal favorite thing to do at the cabin is enjoy the creek. The water level fluctuates significantly depending on the amount of rainfall received.

The space
This is not your typical kit built cabin. Although it has been updated, the cabin is about 40 years old. It is charmingly decorated and it feels so cozy that you won't want to leave. There is a staircase to the loft which has two separate open rooms that between them hold two extremely comfortable queen beds, a day bed, and a small rope bed. The kitchen/living room area is very open as well and has two full size couches and a wood stove (wood included). The bathroom includes a claw foot tub and elegant light fixtures. Enjoy taking a dip in the hot tub, relaxing in the rocking chairs, lounging in a hammock, and exploring the creek while you stay. Amazing views all around!

Neighborhood highlights

The cabin is located on beautiful Brashears Creek. The views from every angle are lovely! People in the area often enjoy swimming, fishing, canoeing and kayaking in the creek. You might even see someone on horseback riding down the gravel road in front of the creek. There are several equine enthusiasts in the area. The cabin backs up to numerous acres of cropland which is not part of the property. Please be respectful and do not disturb any crops that might be growing during your stay.

My work: Chickapoo Farm
Lives in Shelbyville, Kentucky
Hello! Thanks for taking an interest in our rural homes for rent. My husband, three children and myself live on a farm very close to the properties that we host where we have horses, cattle, chickens and a few hogs. We are nature lovers and prefer to be outside whenever possible. Hiking, camping, fishing, horseback riding, and canoeing/kayaking are some of our favorite things to do. We feel blessed to live in such a beautiful area and look forward to sharing it with you!
