As local travel experts, we know what travelers are looking for when it comes to finding the perfect accommodations for their next trip. To compile our lists, we scour the internet to find properties with excellent ratings and reviews, desirable amenities, nearby attractions, and that something special that makes a destination worthy of traveling for.

You may have heard that planning a trip brings about just as much joy as actually taking one. If that’s true – and we hope it is – there are endless getaways you can plan around the Bluegrass State. It is definitely fun to think about the possibilities of relaxing retreats you can take in our state and one idyllic spot can be found in the heart of horse country, also along the Bourbon Trail.

With a remote, yet convenient location, this one-of-a-kind cabin in rural Kentucky is just the dreamy getaway you’ll want to plan for the future.
