Private Retreat:Saltwater Pool, Hot Tub & Fire Pit

Glencairn Knoll is where space meets style, where laidback luxury means you can kick back, spread out, and actually enjoy your time together. This isn’t just a rental—it’s your personal escape, where space, comfort, and good times come standard.

Mornings start slow—coffee in hand, no rush. Afternoons? Poolside, where time moves at your pace. And when the sun dips low—bourbon in the speakeasy or stories by the firepit. That’s how it’s done here.

Set on 3.75 acres, this retreat gives you room to breathe, relax, and make unforgettable memories—without ever feeling cramped. Designed for multigenerational families and large groups, this sprawling 5,500 sq. ft. estate offers both space and intimacy, luxury and comfort.

STEP INSIDE – WELCOME TO THE GOOD LIFE

You walk in, stop, and take it all in. Dang. This place is big. Open. The kind of space where no one’s stepping on each other’s toes, and there’s actually room for all the bags, snacks, and whatever else your crew overpacked. Someone’s already scoping out the best bedroom, and someone else is headed straight for the kitchen. Yeah… this is gonna be good.

The kind of space that instantly makes you feel at home. Towering 22-foot ceilings in the entryway and dining room set the stage, while warm wood tones, soft textures, and tons of natural light make every space inviting. Best part? You don’t have to tiptoe around like you’re in a museum.

This place was built for real living. Spills? No big deal. This place was built for real life—durable floors, outdoor-friendly plates, and zero stress. Just enjoy.

THE CHEF’S KITCHEN

The chef’s kitchen isn’t just a place to cook—it’s where the magic happens. A six-burner gas stove, double ovens, a massive island, and a fully loaded coffee bar ensure every meal is a moment. Whether it’s a pancake breakfast before a day of exploring or a full-on feast at the end of it, this kitchen is ready for whatever you throw at it.

THE SPEAKEASY LOUNGE AND MANCAVE

Need a spot to unwind, like you mean it? The speakeasy lounge is waiting, with leather seating, velvet club chairs, and the perfect ambiance for unwinding. Just add Bourbon. Looking for a little more action? Head to the garage-turned-mancave, where poker, pool, foosball, and a big-screen TV bring out everyone’s competitive streak. If you need a breather, there’s a quiet hallway nook between the Speakeasy and the double bedroom—ideal for coffee, deep thoughts, or just avoiding family debates.

BASEMENT ENTERTAINMENT LOUNGE

A neon-lit karaoke room, board games, darts, and a chalkboard wall for spontaneous fun.
Astroturf Game Zone: Cornhole, giant Jenga, and all the backyard vibes—rain or shine.
Fitness & Yoga Room: Elliptical, kettlebells, meditation cushions, and yoga mats.

DESIGNED FOR CONNECTION AND PRIVACY

Whether you're bringing the whole crew together or sneaking away for a little solitude, Glencairn Knoll is designed to deliver both. The front porch with soaring ceilings and rocking chairs is perfect for morning coffee or sunset chats.

A private saltwater pool—whether you’re here to float, swim, or let the kids wear themselves out, it’s all yours.

A hot tub under the stars, where warm water meets cool country air.

A firepit surrounded by Adirondack chairs—the perfect spot for roasting marshmallows, debating whether aliens are real, and hearing Grandpa’s ‘back in my day’ stories one more time.

Need a private moment? Step onto the upstairs balcony. Just you, a quiet breeze, and a seat with your name on it—whether it’s for sunrise coffee, late-night unwinding, or a much-needed escape from the family cornhole rivalry.

WHERE YOU’LL SLEEP – UNCOMPROMISING COMFORT

Every bedroom is a retreat, outfitted with plush Zinus hybrid mattresses, high-quality linens, and Smart TVs preloaded with YouTube TV.

FIRST FLOOR

Primary Suite: King bed + spa-like ensuite with rain shower & chandelier-lit soaker tub.

SECOND FLOOR

-The Purple Room: Two King beds—perfect for families, best friends, or siblings who still argue about who gets the "better side."
-The Orange Room: King bed + dedicated workspace.
-The Yellow Room: King bed + dedicated workspace.
-The Speakeasy Lounge: Queen pullout sofa (optional sleeping space).

BATHROOMS

First floor: ensuite master bath + additional half bath.

Second floor: Two full hall bathrooms, centrally located for convenience.

POOLSIDE & OUTDOOR LIVING—WHERE TIME SLOWS DOWN

This is what you came for. Step outside, and suddenly, life feels different. Slower. Smoother. Like a scene from a vacation magazine, only it’s real—and it’s yours. The sparkling saltwater pool stretches from a 4.5-foot shallow end to an 8-foot deep end (no diving, just pure relaxation).

Six lounge chairs with umbrellas give you prime sun-soaking real estate, while a bistro set with an umbrella makes for the perfect morning espresso spot.

A cozy outdoor couch and two chairs with a large umbrella create a shaded retreat for afternoon cocktails.

And when evening rolls in? Gather around the 10-seat outdoor dining table, plates full, drinks in hand, as the smell of something sizzling on the charcoal grill drifts through the air. Cap it all off with a soak in the hot tub under the stars, and you’ve just unlocked peak vacation mode.

HIGHLIGHTS

*10-seat outdoor dining table—because food just tastes better outside.
*Bartop seating—best perch for sunset cocktails.
*Cozy lounge area—perfect for long conversations and deep belly laughs.
*Double hammock—gently swaying in the breeze.
*Firepit & hot tub—the ultimate duo for winding down.

You’re not here to scroll through emails or refresh your work inbox. You come here to belt out 90s classics in the neon-lit karaoke lounge. To throw down in a poker game that somehow lasts till 2 AM. To challenge your uncle to a game of cornhole and remind him who’s boss. This place was built for stories—the kind you’ll still be laughing about next year.

Great week away
My dad, brother, and I did a little boys trip for a few nights there. Wanted to get out of the hustle and bustle of our business in the city. What an awesome spot to get away for a few days to unwind and recharge the batteries. One of the cooler and nicer properties I’ve had to opportunity to stay at! Definitely would book again!

Amazing Property
We celebrated our first baby turning 12 at this amazing house. From day one, Deb answered all my questions before I even booked the house. She sent me ideas about what we could do on the trip. I travel with a lot of stuff. I did not even need any of it. The house was fully stocked with anything you would ever need. She even left flowers and a balloon for my baby girl. The house is well-planned, from the decor to the layout. The kitchen bar was so amazing. The beds felt like heaven. The pool and hot tub were so clean. We travel a lot. And this was, hands down, our favorite house. We pulled back up at home, and all looked at each other and said we missed our Kentucky house already. The neighbor is building a house, and there were no problems with that either. They were quiet and we did not even know they were over there. If you are thinking about booking this house, do so now. You will not regret it. We loved it so much.
