Wonderful Getaway on the Bourbon Trail!
Jennifer and Ben's property was just beautiful and exactly as listed. We so enjoyed our stay at Soggy Bottom Cottage! The grounds were lovely and we thoroughly enjoyed our daily walks along the property. The location was perfect as we visited a few distilleries during our stay. Jennifer gave us some wonderful restaurant recommendations that were close by. Both Jennifer and Ben were so welcoming but yet completely respected our privacy. The cottage had everything we needed and we appreciated the extra touches like the basket of fruit/munchies that we grabbed for our daily excursions. We would definitely stay here again!

Excellent stay
Love the charm of the cottage. Peaceful. Highly recommend. Reasons for 4 vs 5 star are as follows: while place was a five star in the big scheme of things I did not realize that their main house was 30
Yards away ie right next door. On VRBO one would think you had complete isolation. 2. The pictures make you dream of sitting outside under the hemlocks in those chairs however they don’t really make this inviting. Chairs are not cleaned off. Outdoor eating table not cleaned off or inviting. Door to outside area on side has no stepping stones or pavers. So just stayed inside and enjoyed the amazing charm of the cottage itself. Also while I love dogs I don’t love dogs that jump on me when I’m getting out of the car and they have wet paws and I have on white.

Absolutely perfect!
Our 2-night stay at Soggy Bottom Cottage couldn't have been more perfect. It's in a lovely quiet setting; secluded but close to Keeneland, distilleries, and restaurants.
The cottage is so cozy and welcoming that we could have stayed there relaxing the entire time.
Our hosts next door were kind and accommodating without being the least bit intrusive.
Expect an occasional visit from the resident pups and a cat with the air of a true Southern gentleman. We nicknamed him The Colonel.
We are already looking forward to our next stay.
Charming cozy cottage in beautiful horse country. Pleasant and peaceful setting with warm welcome by host who ensured that we had everything that we needed to make our stay enjoyable.

Great Cottage in a Beautiful Setting
My wife and I had a great stay at this property. It is set in a beautiful area surrounded by horse farms. The cottage itself is very comfortable and is decorated with original art. The hosts provide great hospitality with tons of fruit, snacks, and coffee waiting for us on our arrival. The champagne was a great touch for the New Years holiday.

Everything you need plus things you didn’t know you needed!
This is by far one of the most thoughtful, curated, charming VRBO’s we’ve visited. The space was perfect, intuitive and the grounds and view were like a Bluegrass landscape painting.

Amazing Rental
This rental is a jewel, from the location to the decor!! We loved everything about it! The cottage can be found on a beautiful Kentucky farm. The drive to the cottage is equally as gorgeous as you travel on a winding road flanked with stone "fencing" and horse farms. The cottage is decorated with the most unique and though provoking paintings by the owners mother. The bed is very comfortable, the shower is gorgeous with tile work and a large glass, while bourbon bottles and books about Kentucky adorn the cottage. The kitchen is very well stocked and our gracious host had cookies & a birthday balloon for me! Not to mention snacks and goodies for breakfast, milk and water in the fridge and a large assortment of coffees & teas. We enjoyed our time so much and will very likely book again in the future!!! Rent it....you will NOT be disappointed!
Located in scenic rural area near attractions. Very clean and accommodating. Definitely recommend!

The Perfect Country Cottage
Charm and originality abound at Soggy Bottom Cottage. Immaculate, thoughtfully decorated, and well supplied, this lovely little house stands under old hemlocks in a well preserved Bluegrass landscape. (Tom Kimmerer’s book Venerable Trees explains this kind of landscape for those interested in knowing more about it). Original art by a beloved local artist adds to the cottage’s charm. The host was gracious and generous. Booking and checkin/checkout were painless. Despite its rural setting, the cottage is convenient to Keeneland, to Woodford Reserve Distillery, to Lexington, and to just about any other area attraction, as well as to the airport. Everyone in my group thoroughly enjoyed their visit to Soggy Bottom Cottage.

Lovely KY Farm Cottage
The owner extended warm hospitality during my stay and was very gracious and accommodating with a scheduling issue I had. The cottage was pristinely clean, decorated beautifully and the surrounding area was peaceful. It was a true pleasure and highly recommend this for your stay. Only 20 minutes from the KY Horse Park and easy access to Lexington.
