Historically Registered 1847 log Cabin

Escape to the country while staying close to the city with this 2,600 square foot hand-hewn log cabin from 1847. Historically registered, recently remodeled, this property leaves you comfy and relaxed. Lounge on one of the 2 large decks and enjoy the sunset or sunrise. The over sized kitchen will make cooking a country dinner a breeze. Rinse the day away with a rainfall shower head in a custom tile shower and enjoy night with plush beds.

This historically registered log cabin is nestled on a cul-de-sac in a community with every home in it on 5-acre tracts. Average home values of $500,000 and above provide an elite feeling community. Several of the neighboring properties have horses. This cabin is perched on a hill top and overlooks the treed surroundings. The property is quiet but offers a quick route to the freeway and numerous methods of entertainment such as golf, shopping, parks, wineries, distilleries, museums (don't miss the Louisville Slugger Museum), Churchill downs, plays and much more!

SHOPPING - The closest outlet mall is only 8.6 miles (15 minutes) away. There are 2 more enclosed malls only 14 miles (19 minutes) away.

PARKS - One of the biggest local attractions in Louisville is its parks system. There are more than 120 public parks in the metro area alone, many created by famed landscape architect Frederick Law Olmstead. Enjoy a walk in the newly renovated Beckley creek park only 3.9 miles away. At Beckley Creek Park, the possibilities are as wide open as the 22-acre Egg Lawn. You can spend the day bonding over a bucket of worms at William F. Miles Lakes, discovering nature along numerous trails, or learning something new at the PNC Achievement Center for Education and Interpretation. The Marshall Playground and Spray ground is the perfect place for kids to let off steam while parents relax or enjoy the walking loop. Family outings aren’t complete without a picnic at the Price water house Coopers Pavilion or on a blanket spread in the shade of the Oak Picnic Grove.

GOLFING - If you love to golf, there are numerous golf courses quite close. Louisville's ten public golf courses offer a quality golfing experience at some of the most affordable prices in the nation. Each course has its own unique character, and some consistently rank among Kentucky's best and most challenging courses.
Louisville Parks golf courses are open from daylight to dark seven days a week, and each course has a fully stocked pro shop! Each golf course has a men’s, women’s and junior’s association. Memberships provide fellowships through tournaments, USGA handicaps, and other events. The closest of which is only 5.8 miles (12 minutes) away.

WINERIES - You don’t want to miss the unique Wineries available to close to you. Including the Winery Trail on I-71 that starts in La Grange (Exit 22) only 20 miles away! Each winery and vineyard on the Winery Trail offers their own unique theme, tranquil setting, and the best Kentucky wines in the state. All 8 wineries are an hour-or-less drive from this home.

DISTILLERIES - Awaken your senses and explore the birthplace of Bourbon as you embark on a self-guided journey to discover the story inside every bottle on The Kentucky Bourbon Trail® and the Kentucky Bourbon Trail Craft Tour®. Meet the Kentucky distillers preserving unparalleled tradition through centuries of dedication, care and craftsmanship. Our home is your gateway to the best Bourbon brands, flavors and varieties—from the 16 signature distilleries at the helm of Kentucky’s world-famous Bourbon culture, to the 13 craft distilleries using innovative approaches to re imagine a timeless tradition. This is Bourbon. This is Kentucky. Your journey only 20 miles from the home.

Wonderful vacation
This is a an inspiring home that we found perfect for a vacation in Kentucky. It is very well located for access to the Bourbon Trail and many other sites in Kentucky. The home is at the top of a hill on a large plot of land with wonderful views in all directions. We enjoyed seeing horses graze and many deer early in the morning with fawns. The expansive covered deck on this property is truly awesome and so relaxing - we spent a large amount of time on the deck. The hosts were absolutely terrific. They checked in with us early and in a timely manner, and also checked if we needed anything during our visit. They are wonderful hosts that have thoughtfully placed very nice sitting areas around the large property. The historic home has a lot of character with exposed beam walls in many rooms and every room has fun interesting things to see and enjoy. The home is very comfortable and very well stocked. We plan to return soon!

Relax between wedding events
This cabin sits in the middle of paradise. It’s located in a multi acre subdivision but it doesn’t feel like it. You are greeted by deer in the morning and dusk. The porch swing is wonderful to enjoy the evening breeze. I was raised in the country so it’s heaven to me. The home is a renovated cabin home that has had additions added throughout the years. I love how they brought most of the original logs back to life. If you don’t like rustic touches or the genuine historic feel of a farm/log home then this location isn’t for you. I wanted to stay longer just to relax and wished I had reserved a longer time. Thanks Tim for your true hospitality.

We Couldn’t Have Asked for a More Perfect Experience!
This was the perfect place for our big family! Mr & Mrs Story are the most kind & gracious hosts! To the extent of stopping by during their morning horse ride and giving our kids and grandkids rides on their horses! The cabin is awesome! Big and spacious with everything we needed. The setting is picturesque and the beautiful yard with all its play areas, hammock, tire swing,fire pits, etc was very much enjoyed by all of us! And was the perfect place for our Easter egg hunt! The memories we made here will be treasured always. Our son and daughter in law attend Seminary School in Louisville, we will definitely stay here again the next time we come to visit them!

Christmas Gathering
The cabin was everything that I had hoped it would be. The adults all enjoyed our stay but the 2 1/2 year old grandson was in awe of so many things. I heard him gasp with surprise and joy when he saw the kids bedroom decorated with Toy Story characters, when he saw the outdoor play area, then again when the neighboring horses came up to the fence so we could see them. Tim and Lynn are lovely down to earth people who are quite friendly and accommodating. I will definitely look into going back in the future!

Perfect Getaway!
This beautiful cabin has historic charm with all the amenities. The owners thought of everything. You can arrive and enjoy. There is plenty of space for family and is also great for just a few (we were 3 adult siblings). Views are amazing. Location is perfect - outside of town but close enough to enjoy all Louisville has to offer. The only thing better would be the flexiblity to stay longer. Tim and Lynn were great hosts - thank you so much. We will definitely return!

The perfect retreat
I chose this property specifically for the two kids play sets outside, I didn’t realize how much more the property had to offer! Our stay was simply amazing for our family of 7! My three older children (6,4,2) enjoyed everything the property has to offer for children- which is a lot! So many toys, books, a special bunk room, yard games, horses, etc! We sat out on the porch and the kids played til dark every night! It was so peaceful! The cabin itself is amazing due to its history and the restoration (while keeping it dated). Bottom line, if you’re looking to relax, enjoy the countryside and unwind, this is where you want to stay! Lyn and Tim are the most generous hosts, you will not be disappointed! The cabin was located near the city but also far enough away. We explored the small towns around it and found some neat things! I have a pretty good feeling we will be back :)
