119 Adair Ave

Picture this: the fire pit crackles while bourbon stories spill into the Kentucky night, steam rises off the hot tub under string lights, and someone's lining up a putt on your own backyard green. Ten of your favorite people, one quiet Shelbyville street, minutes from the world's most famous bourbon trail. This isn't just somewhere to sleep between distillery tours — it's the trip everyone keeps talking about after.

About This Space

You'll pull up to a warm, well-kept home on a quiet street where the loudest sound most nights is a distant train. Inside, wood-beam ceilings and soft lighting set the tone — this is a house built for gathering, not just sleeping. The living area is where the group ends up every night: deep seating under the wood beams, a smart TV, and a straight sightline into a dining room built for twelve — the kind of table where bourbon tastings turn into two-hour conversations. The kitchen is stocked to actually cook in: full range and oven, dishwasher, coffee maker, wine glasses for the table, a blender, even a rice maker and trash compactor. Whoever's on breakfast duty will have what they need. Five bedrooms, each with a king bed, split across two floors — three on the main level sharing a hallway bath, two upstairs sharing a full bath. Expect soft linens and enough separation that early risers and late-night talkers don't have to share a room. Three full bathrooms mean nobody waits in line, and every one is stocked with shampoo, conditioner, body wash, and plush towels. Then there's the backyard, why most guests book this house. The hot tub sits under its own pergola, lit for evening soaks. The fire pit and lounge seating become the unofficial hangout by 9pm, and the putting green means the golfers in your crew never leave the property. A double washer-and-dryer setup means you can pack light and still do a mid-week load. Whether you're basing a Bourbon Trail run here, hosting a family reunion, or need enough beds and backyard for a big group to relax together, this house was built to hold the whole trip — tastings, late nights, and mornings after.

Location & What's Nearby

You're based in Shelbyville, the town locals call the heart of the Bourbon Trail — and the location backs it up. Bulleit Distillery and Jeptha Creed Distillery are both right here in Shelbyville, about a 10-minute drive. More than half of Kentucky's famous distilleries sit within an hour: Woodford Reserve in Versailles (about 45 minutes), Four Roses and Wild Turkey in Lawrenceburg (about 45 minutes), and Jim Beam's American Stillhouse in Clermont (about 50 minutes). Buffalo Trace Distillery and the State Capitol in Frankfort are a roughly 35-minute drive. Downtown Louisville is about 35-40 minutes west via I-64, putting Churchill Downs, the Kentucky Derby Museum, the Louisville Slugger Museum & Factory, and the bourbon bars of Whiskey Row within reach for a day trip. Louisville International Airport (SDF) is a similarly easy 35-minute drive. Closer to home, Shelbyville's historic downtown has antique shops and a public Sculpture Walk, plus the Outlet Shoppes of the Bluegrass up the road in Simpsonville.

Who This Home Is Best For

Bourbon Trail groups will find this the ideal home base — close enough to hit two or three distilleries a day without long drives, with a backyard built for decompressing between tours. Multi-generational families gathering for a reunion will appreciate five separate king bedrooms and three full baths, so each generation gets its own space. Golf-loving groups get a bonus round on the putting green without leaving the property, and five couples splitting a long weekend will love that every bedroom has its own king bed. Anyone planning a milestone celebration — a birthday, anniversary, or bachelorette weekend — will find the hot tub, fire pit, and 12-person table built for exactly those nights. Traveling with a well-behaved dog? We welcome up to two pets for a fee.
