About this property

Historic Home Farm Stay in the Heart of Bourbon Country

Welcome to The Harbison House! This newly renovated historic home is the best of both worlds- all the modern amenities you want with all the charm of a unique step back in time! There are neat treasures to look at in every room. Located in the heart of bourbon country on a family farm, you can take a picnic by the pond while being only a short distance from great restaurants and all the distilleries!

This one of a kind home is featured on the National Registry of Historic Places and dates back to the 1870's. It underwent an extensive renovation is 2023. We have added many modern amenities- including a state of the art chef's kitchen with commercial appliances, while maintaining the original historic finishes of the home.

Every room is unique- with unexpected treasures around every turn. With soaring 11 foot ceilings and floor to ceiling windows, the home is sun soaked and airy. Sit a while in a rocking chair on one of our many porches or cast a line in our stocked pond. Enjoy the serene sounds of nature while only being a short drive to dozens of distilleries.

Each bedroom has an ensuite bathroom. Two of our bathrooms boast claw foot tubs. Have a soak while you read a book and recharge. All bedrooms are equipped with a smart tv so you can connect to all your favorite streaming services. We are stocked with board games, playing cards and lawn games.

Enjoy a late night poker game or sip of wine in our bourbon parlor. The ambiance in this home is perfect for multiple couples traveling the bourbon trail or just wanting to step off the beaten path to have a truly Kentucky experience.

We've thought of everything in our chef's kitchen. From double ovens to a gas stovetop to an additional wine fridge, we've got everything you need. We provide coffee, tea and flavored syrups so that your morning coffee can be enjoyed on the porch as you watch the geese swim on the pond. We have spices and every imaginable piece of cookware you could need to make the perfect meal. Our dining table was custom made from wood milled off the farm and seats up to 14 people.

We are lifelong residents of Shelby County. We are more than happy to help you plan your trip! If we can help arrange transportation, a restaurant reservation or recommendation please let us know.

Outstanding Property
This is an amazing place to stay. An owner managed property, it is immaculate; inside and out. The attention to detail is beyond impressive. Every amenity that you haven’t thought of, the host has it covered. From the over the top coffee and tea station to the laundry detergent pods, to the portable Bluetooth speaker, flashlights, batteries and makeup removal supplies. Every bedroom is en-suite with first rate bedding and there are antique furnishings throughout the home. The kitchen is exceptionally well appointed. We made our best memories on the brick paved patio just off the rear porch. Megan, was very responsive to our requests before during and after our stay. We’re big fans and will stay here again and again when the opportunity presents itself.

Amazing house, location and host
The host and the house was amazing! The host was very quick to respond to any questions we had and was the nicest host. The house was amazing, newly renovated and so well decorated. Everyone who stayed said the house and the property was amazing. The word amazing was used a lot when we first arrived. We loved it and will stay again.
