Tucker Farm House

Description

Late 1800's farm house on a 155 acre working family farm located in the heart of the Bourbon Trail. It is a unique experience to stay on our farm where we raise non-GMO corn that goes into producing bourbons here in Kentucky. The farm is rural and private, but convenient to Louisville, distilleries and many other local attractions. We are located only 10 minutes from the Gene Snyder Freeway in Louisville and 10 minutes from the Outlet Shops of the Bluegrass and 15 minutes from Shelbyville.

The space
This is a historic farm house, over 120 years old. The 3 bedroom house (1 Queen & 2 double beds) comfortably sleeps 6 people. Although it is clean and well maintained, if you prefer shiny and modern this peaceful farm stay may not be for you. Feel free to take a walk around the farm and get out an enjoy the tranquil surroundings on the 2 porches. Also, there are 2 TVs in the home. The living room TV has Dish Network & the master bedroom TV receives basic TV channels via an antenna. However for those who want to stay well connected, free wi-fi is provided and the cell phone reception at the house is generally good. There is plenty of parking, even if you are towing a trailer or have multiple vehicles. There is one room of the house that we use for our farm office, that will remain locked. The property is available for renting everyday, but please keep in mind that since it is a working farm there is traffic in and out of the shared driveway and may be equipment noise on the property.

Guest access
You will have access to the entire home, with the exception of the room that contains our farm office (which remains locked, but we will not access during your stay). Feel free to get out and walk around the 155 acre farm. No one else lives on the farm, so your stay will be private. However there may be farm vehicles in and out of the driveway or work going on at the farm during your stay. We live approximately 20 minutes away, so we are there to help if needed, but other than maybe in and out of the farm you won't see us.

Local Area
Just 15 minutes from historic Downtown Shelbyville, where you will find many restaurants, antique malls and other shopping and coffee shops. The house is located near Finchville and Simpsonville KY, both beautiful little country towns. It is a rural setting, so we hope you enjoy the farms and scenery along the way. Please note that the closest stores and restaurants are a just a 10 minute drive away.

Getting around
Feel free to get out and take a stroll around the 155 acre farm, stretch your legs and enjoy nature. However, to get to this home you will need to come by car. There is no public transportation in the area. You can get a cab, Uber, Lyft, etc. out of nearby Louisville.
