The Harris House - 200 Acre Farm Estate

✨ Complimentary S’mores Kit with Every Stay ✨
Every stay includes a complimentary s’mores kit—perfect for winding down by the fire and embracing the slower pace this property is known for.

Staying here feels like stepping back into a simpler time. This home offers a quiet, peaceful farm experience where mornings are unhurried, evenings are calm, and the noise of everyday life fades away—yet you’re still conveniently located near all that Louisville has to offer. It’s the rare balance of true countryside serenity with easy access to the city.

This land is deeply connected to Kentucky’s bourbon heritage. Crops grown right here on the farm are sold to Kentucky distilleries and used in the bourbon-making process—meaning your stay is quite literally rooted in the story of bourbon country.

This charming house is nestled amidst a farm that is full of life and natural beauty. Hawks circle overhead, owls and coyotes call in the evenings, deer move through the fields, and wild turkeys are frequent visitors. Whether you’re enjoying your morning coffee or watching the sunset, nature is always part of the experience.

Inside, the home blends historic charm with all the modern conveniences guests expect, including comfortable sleeping spaces, climate control, Wi-Fi, a fully equipped kitchen, and a tankless water heater for endless hot showers. You get the feel of a quiet country home without sacrificing comfort.
