The Barrel House is in our 5th year of operation and originally we catered to "Bourbon enthusiasts". However, over these past 5 years, we have had so many guests stay with us for family vacations and reunions, bird watching, star gazing, history seeking, biking and touring as well as spirits! Explore all our neck of the woods has to offer including the Abbey of Gethsemani, trains, museums, parks, history and the world famous bourbon trail and wineries. We boast king sized beds in each bedroom and a lux shower. We have an open floor plan to encourage uncluttered togetherness and a kitchen with all the essentials you may need. We have renovated the garage to resemble a barrel warehouse at any distillery you visit while here,so as soon as you walk in, you'll see a mini version of the real thing. We've been told that this really sets the stage for you bourbon lovers out there for touring all the local distilleries. We also have a large pond for fishing and swimming....perfect for a family getaway or a romantic weekend away. Whatever your reason to visit, you have EVERY reason to stay at the Barrel House. Our version of night life is cozying up to the SMOKELESS fire pit with a good pour, good friends and a spectacular view of the stars. We strive to make you want to come back soon!!

Both my husband and I are from New Jersey and have been in Kentucky for 26 years now. Used to the hustle and bustle of the suburbs, we appreciate the slower, less harried pace of the country and we want to pass this feeling of tranquility on to you, our guests. We want you to have the best experience here at The Barrel House so we offer a beautifully decorated place, fresh clean linens and good old fashioned country hospitality. Although we have a fully stocked kitchen, you will need to pick up the grocieries of your choice before arriving. We hope that all of the little extras make our place one that you will prefer over any hotel out there.

The Barrel House is situated inside a holler so you are surrounded by rolling hills and the view is absolutely breathtaking. Enjoy the stars at night without the interruption of city lights. We have lots of wildlife and many of our guests come away with so many beautiful pictures. We have a tame deer who lives back in this hollar and will come visit you while you visit the Barrel House! Even though we are out in the country, we are still close to so many places. Distilleries, museums, trains, hiking, biking, history...you name it we have it all within a short drive in any direction. So many years ago, Abe Lincoln fell in love with the landscape and so will you.
