Historic stone cabin near Bourbon Trail on private 13 acre estate property!

WELCOME!: Historic, unique, tasteful and serene - the Edward Tyler house, ca. 1783, is a stone cabin 20 minutes SE of Louisville on 13 acre estate. Near the famous bourbon trail, rental includes full cabin and large screen porch overlooking pond with fountain. First floor has living/dining/kitchen space with small sofa bed and stone fireplace (gas); queen bed and full bath on second floor. American and European antique furnishings and fine art welcome you to fully updated home with central HVAC.

THE SPACE: Cabin was originally built in the late 1700s and has been updated to modern standards (electric, plumbing, HVAC) yet retains original features including stone walls, large wooden beams and original yellow poplar floors. Typical of structures of this vintage and to preserve space, the stairway to the second floor is steeper and more narrow than todays standard size; anyone uneasy with non-uniform stairs should take note. Height of doorways are also shorter than today's standards. In total, the cabin is approximately 620 sq. ft., plus another 240 sq. ft. in the attached screened porch (860 sq. ft. in total). Cabin is listed on the National Register of Historic Places and sits within the larger Tyler Rural Settlement District, also a National Historic Trust designation.

GUEST ACCESS: Guests will have full use of the cabin and attached screened porch (14' x 17'). Additionally, guests have access to the lawn area behind the cabin, and can also enjoy sitting by the pond (no fishing please). Cabin is accessed from brick terrace that adjoins both the cabin and the main house, and leads to a stone walkway to cabin door. Please note the stone in the walkway is natural formation, not uniform cut stone (see photos).

THE PROPERTY: Property is located 15 miles east of downtown Louisville - approximately 20 minute drive via I-64. Area is primarily residential, and most neighbors have acreage (host property is located on 13 acres). Jeffersontown, a historic small town, is approximately 2 miles away with the very popular 3rd Turn Brewery, a dog friendly brewery (indoor and outdoor) in an old converted church. Some additional highlights of the area are included below.

DISTILLERIES
You will have a front row seat to Kentucky's largest attraction - the Kentucky Bourbon Trail! The cabin is centrally located among the 42 designated distilleries on the bourbon trail, most of which are within an hours drive of the property. 95% of the bourbon distilled in the country comes from this historic collection of distilleries. You will be the envy of your friends when they learn that you stayed in the original cabin on the Tyler Settlement property where on January 1, 1798 the Federal Government granted Moses Tyler (Edward Tyler's son) a tax license to distill 90 gallons of bourbon in still number 37!! Talk about bourbon history!

PARKS
Louisville Metro is blessed to have over 120 public parks, 17 of which were designed by the vaulted Fredrick Law Olmsted firm (connected by 6 Olmsted designed parkways). Notably, located just 3 miles from the property, the Parklands system of parks consists of 4,000 acres of public park space with several unique destinations and attractions (the Egg Lawn, Oxbow, Big Beech Woods, the Silo, the Grand Allee, Sky Meadow, Catfish Bend - to name a few) sprinkled throughout the park system. Kayak, hike, bike, complete (sports fields), fish, shoot archery and convene with nature in this natural landscape.

FOOD AND ENTERTAINMENT SCENE
Louisville regularly appears on lists of top 'foodie cities' with a diverse and creative culinary and cocktail scene. Some of the popular neighborhoods like the Highlands, NuLu and St. Matthews are home to concentrations of these gastro-glories! See the Guidebook in this listing for more details and suggestions.

ATTRACTIONS
We all know Louisville is home to Churchill Downs where the Kentucky Derby is run annually on the first Saturday in May. On the site of Churchill Downs is the Kentucky Derby Museum where you can learn all about the rich thoroughbred history in the bluegrass state. You can also visit the Louisville Slugger Museum where you actually watch the iconic 'Louisville Slugger' bats made. What you may not know is Louisville is also home to an impressive inventory of arts organizations, grounded by the Louisville Orchestra, the Louisville Ballet, the Kentucky Opera, the JB Speed Museum and Actors Theatre - among several others. You will also want to consider these attractions:
Muhammad Ali Museum
Frazier History Museum
21c Art Museum
Keeneland Racetrack (in Lexington)

Property is served by typical ride share options - Uber, Lyft, taxi. There is no public transportation in this area of town.

OTHER THINGS TO NOTE: Driveway provides access to both the main house and the stone cabin, so guests will access the property through the main driveway and park by the garage. The distance between the driveway and the cabin front door is approximately 60 feet. Guests will be provided access code to the driveway gate and to the cabin door lock approximately two (2) days prior to arrival. Driveway is composed of crushed limestone with stone curbing, so host requests that guests make sure to stay on the limestone surface, and stay off the stone curbing.

Country Beautiful, Close to everything
We so enjoyed our time at this historical cabin and the owner was informative with suggestions of great dinner spots while respecting our privacy. I fell in love with the screened porch each morning. It was a perfect place for a couple to celebrate our anniversary and continue our exploration of an area we have grown to love.It'siIt'sounds of nature.

Great Weekend
My wife and I stayed at the property for our 22nd wedding anniversary. The whole property is very nice. The history about the premises was very interesting, cleanliness was good, and it was very relaxing sitting in the enclosed patio. Conveniently located close to Churchill Downs, Louisville Slugger museum, and some of the bourbon trail distilleries. Owners were very friendly. Had a great weekend.

Unique Getaway
The cabin and property are beautifully done. Gas fireplace was a big bonus. Donald was very friendly (my husband enjoys talking with people in new places) and gave us lots of details about the property. A very romantic Christmas for us this year. Do note that the stairs are steep and quite a workout (as noted in description). The shower is nice, but not made for extra large people. We would definitely stay again.

Excellent Getaway
Oct 23 thru Oct 26, 2023 This was a pleasant surprise! My wife and I had stayed in a log cabin in the same proximity, but this stone cabin was spectacular. The inside of the cabin is tastefully decorated and has everything you need for a long weekend or extended getaway. The fall foliage with bright yellows and reds made this a perfect place to relax and rejuvenate. The pond and the sprawling acreage were easy on the eyes and the patio area was comfy and inviting. Donald was very accommodating, friendly, and he made us feel very welcomed and comfortable. The two pups were cute and reminded us of our two back home! Unfortunately, we had to leave a day early, but we will stay here again!

Unforgettable Stay
We were stunned to find the cabin was over 200 years old. It was super cozy and utterly elegant. Every thoughtful detail, inside the cabin and out added to the relaxed luxe experience. Fascinating history provided on the property and lots to explore on the grounds. I reserved the only date available during our stay, but highly recommend spending more time if you can. Don was friendly, accommodating and informative and we loved the puppers on this property as well!

Peaceful getaway that takes you back in time
Beautifully restored cabin tucked away by a pond with an attached enclosed porch that is perfect for drinking tea, coffee, wine, or bourbon! The cabin is close to more historic homes & hiking trails yet still very accessible to the food and fun of Louisville. We were mesmerized by the beauty of the property and meticulous upkeep of the backyard patio with sculptures & well kept plants that holds more seating to enjoy the view. In the cabin we enjoyed the amazing fire place, and quiet nature of the stone walls and wood floors that take you back in time! The furniture and artwork were so well thought out we had numerous conversations regarding the design aspect :-) We hope to visit again!
