The Kentucky Distillery With Its Own Airbnb Might Be The Best Weekend Getaway Ever

Kentucky's distilleries are globally renowned, especially along the famed Bourbon Trail – a dream for bourbon lovers. While there are plenty of places to stay in Kentucky Bourbon Country, not many can boast of being a direct extension of a distillery. The Shanklin House, an Airbnb owned by the well-known Castle & Key distillery, stands out for that unique distinction.

Nestled on 113 acres of rolling hills in a charming castle, Kentucky’s Castle & Key Distillery captures the essence of the Bluegrass State: stunning landscapes, top-notch bourbon, and a deep-rooted history. As a working distillery, it's a proud member of the Kentucky Distillers' Association and the Kentucky Bourbon Trail Craft Tour.

Just like a glass of the distilled spirit, the Bourbon Trail is meant to be slowly savored -- slowly, responsibly savored, so finding nearby accommodations is, pardon the pun, key.

Bourbon hospitality extends beyond the distillery when you stay at an Airbnb by Castle & Key. With three different properties from which to choose, guests are invited to immerse themselves in Bourbon Country at one of these well-appointed properties.

The Shanklin House is one such place; this 19th-century farmhouse has been given new life with a thoughtful restoration by Castle & Key.

This lovely home is located in the heart of both Bourbon and Horse Country, just 26 miles from Castle & Key and 22 miles from the Kentucky Horse Park.

This stately home has been immaculately updated with an eye for history, with thoughtfully curated decor and antiques adding irresistible charm and ambiance.

You'll feel right at home in the kitchen, a beautifully refurbished space that features original exposed beams, a beverage station, hand-selected quartzite, stainless steel appliances, a custom island, and all the kitchen necessities, including fresh coffee for guests.

The first floor also features a traditional dining area with seating for up to 10 guests. If you look closely, you'll notice the green wallpaper, a custom design by local artisan - Alex Mason and her company Feerick Mason.

With accommodations for up to eight guests, this Airbnb is the perfect rental for a large group looking to experience one of a world-class Kentucky distillery in style. Cheers to that!

Shanklin House is an impossibly charming rental that’s about as peak Bluegrass as it gets. An Airbnb owned by an acclaimed distillery and located on a working horse farm in Kentucky? Now that’s my idea of the best weekend getaway ever.
