Very quiet & clean place!
The comms with the owners were great! The place was super clean inside! Bed comfy! Washer/dryer worked beautifully! Easy check in/out! All appliances(stove, oven, toaster, fridge)worked great! There was a bit of an ac issue but the owners kept us up to date of the issue & they had a temp ac unit inalong with a super powered fan which worked bc it was a cool week minus one day. Loved the country area! We throughly enjoyed our stay!

So, so good!
The tack house was so relaxing after a long trip. It is SO quiet except for the wonderful sound of birds singing and a gentle breeze through the trees. Closing the windows would silence that sound too if you wanted but why would you want to do that? You can sit out on the back side and see the sun set on the trees or watch the birds in the field. The bed was very comfortable, so comfortable that we accidentally slept in a few days when we were there. It had everything we needed for cooking and living for a few days. The host was so nice and accommodating. If we ever stay in the area again we will always stay here, it was that nice and relaxing.

Off the beaten path
When we planned our trip to the Louisville area, my wife and daughters were fascinated with the idea of staying in a tack house. I liked the setting, a bit away from the metro area yet close enough for a short ride wherever we wanted ti go. Plus, this is a beautifully secluded property in a valley surrounded by high ridges. The fenced area for our dog was perfect and we explored a bit of the creek. Inside was everything we needed for a pleasant stay. Would highly recommend.

Perfect getaway
We were looking for a place to get away and just relax and spend some quality time together. This place fit the bill perfectly! The place was just as described. Such a charming place in the country. It was so cute and cozy. We wanted to be able to bring our dogs so the fenced in yard was perfect! So perfect that the pups felt like they were on vacation too! They spent so much time just standing at the storm door looking out over the pasture and back yard! The kitchen had everything we could possibly need, no issues with the smart tv and we watched a lot of netflix. The bed was super comfortable and we slept so well. The room was so dark for sleep/loved it. It was nice to have a full size washer/drier even though we did not need to use it. We spent a lot of time outside on the patio under the pergola enjoying the peace and quiet. Hummingbird feeders added such a nice touch to see them come so close. Such a beautiful location with lots of trees and horse pastures all around. Just be advised that this place is out in the country. Maybe a few miles from the interstate but there is no Walmart or restaurants near by. It is about 30 minutes from Louisville or Madison where you can go but the only thing near by is a McDonalds at a truck stop. We knew this/were fine with it and brought our own food for our stay but if you are expecting to drive down the road to Boston Market-that will be a no go. We wanted to be in the country away from everything so we loved it! The grill was easy to use/very clean. Everything we needed for a bonfire-they had the firepit loaded with wood already and even provided a little kit with the fixins for smores. Perfect! I did mention to the hubs that this is one of the cleanest places we have every stayed...not.one.stinkin.cobweb.found! We were thrilled with the place and our low key, peaceful weekend. We will definitely be back. Thank you for a fabulous mini vacation!

Perfect serenity
Communication with the hosts was excellent. The House was exactly as described, no, actually I would say it was better than described. Very clean, very comfortable, very relaxing. It was a wonderful way to spend some much-needed away time with my family. Peace and quiet, yet modern conveniences if you need them. Wi-Fi worked fine, for those who like TV, the TV and Netflix worked fine. Very comfortable and clean. I have nothing negative to say. This was well worth the money, and there were no unwanted surprises or failed expectations.

It was possibly the most cozy, sweet, and gorgeous little tack house! Location was exactly what we were looking for, Alicia was amazing with communicating and even allowed us to check in early which saved us! The heating/cooling system was very iffy and made it either extremely hot or freezing cold but I think that was just a user error haha. Overall an amazing experience!

It would have been better if the internet was more reliable. The TV should have more programming available, adding cable news and cable programs would be a plus. We had reservations through Sunday, but left on Saturday because of the lack of activites and dining in the area.
