Bourbon Country Cabin with HOT TUB and Fire Pit on Brashears Creek

Located on beautiful Brashears Creek in the heart of Bourbon Country, this loft style cedar cabin makes a great central location to visit some local distilleries and wineries. It is also a great place to stay for anyone who might be in the area for a horse show or interested in antique shopping along Shelbyville's historical Main Street. My personal favorite thing to do at the cabin is enjoy the creek. We love to canoe, kayak or even just float on a raft depending on the conditions.

FAQ: The Ripple Inn
Hi there! We know how excited you must be for your upcoming getaway so we wanted to try and make it as smooth and easy as possible. Here are some popular questions we have been asked in the past. Please feel free
to reach out for additional questions.

CAN I CHECK IN EARLY?
We do our very best to make sure the cabin is ready for our next guests. If you need a check-in earlier than 4pm, there will be a $50 fee.

DETAILS
There is a Hot Tub......
To ensure the safety of you and other guests, please follow the hot tub rules posted. DO NOT leave children unattended in or near the hot tub. Hot tub is cleaned, treated, and checked for proper functionality before every arrival. If any abuse requiring draining of the hot tub is discovered when a guest departs, we will collect your security deposit to cover the expense of additional labor, supplies, and water for a process that takes up to five hours to drain, clean, refill, and reheat for the next guest. We make every effort to keep the hot tub functional, hot and ready for each guest to enjoy. There is no guarantee that a mechanical failure can be repaired, as parts may need to be ordered. There will be no refunds or discounts due to a hot tub malfunction, and damage to the hot tubs, covers, and filters will be assessed to you.

WHAT GROCERY STORES ARE THERE?
There is a Walmart and Kroger in Shelbyville. You can purchase your favorite alcoholic beverage at Cox’s Spirit Shoppe, located close to the I64 exit onto SR 55. There are other locations in Shelbyville as well: Kroger Wine & Spirits, Save A Lot, and Liquor World.

Awesome stay for PGA @ Valhalla
My dad and I had a great stay at the cabin. We were in town for the PGA Championship at Valhalla and the cabin was a great place to unwind after a long day in the course. Lots of great golf courses around the area to play as well! Thank you for such a wonderful stay! We felt very safe and comfortable at the cabin!

Amazing and Secluded
The property is definitely off the beaten path which was just what we were looking for. A lot of privacy and seclusion for a great getaway weekend. Amenities were great and the inside of the cabin just felt so rustic and old timey. Really enjoyed our stay 10/10

Awesome!
This is a great little cabin in a perfect location. Just be careful on your journey to and from the property as the road is narrow, and there is wildlife. And just like a cabin, bring everything you may think you will need as there is nothing "close". The host is gracious and easy to communicate with. We are plannimg on visiting again with more friends next year.

BOURBON TRAIL 2
Great property situated between our destinations on the trail. The stream across the street was a nice bonus. Rustic cabin was perfect setting for our trip.Loved the old leg tub and shower! The cabin is dark with not the best lighting. Prepping food on the kitchen countertop required strategic angles not to cast a shadow. Grill and hot tub are well maintained. The small truffle/trundle bed upstairs is not adequate for an adult, maybe a small child. Overall we enjoyed our stay.

Time to disconnect!
This place was fabulous! It was perfect for our needs. It had all the creature comforts needed for a relaxing “disconnected from everything” weekend. We spent most of the weekend out at the fire pit and walking the creek. If you are looking for time outdoors and a way to enjoy time away from the hustle and bustle, this is the perfect place.

Very nice cabin. Could have been cleaner lots of weird smells in the linens and lots of cob webs everywhere. But it was very comfortable and quiet. I usually do not get maid duties given to me at 275 bucks a night after I have checked in. Ha but we left in a hurry and I did not finish all off my chores . There really was a weird fabreeze cover up kind of smell on the upstairs bed sheets and they would not stay on the bed . Overall tho this was a great place to enjoy peace and quiet

Beautiful cabin in the country
We had a wonderful stay at this beautiful cabin in the Kentucky countryside! It was absolutely perfect for our family of three and we enjoyed every minute! It lies on a huge parcel of land with peaceful views in all directions. It stayed cool when we needed it cool and warm inside when we needed it warm. Shower, washer/dryer, TV, hot tub all worked great! We cooked a couple of memorable meals in the kitchen and had some great family time outside and by the creek. We heard owls at night! Thank you, Gwen for sharing your cabin with us and being so easy to work with. We hope to make this an annual trip!

Bourbon in the cabin
Great location for visiting all of the distilleries! We visited around 8 and went downtown Louisville for a day and everything we wanted to do was in a nice driving distance. The cabin was itself was great, had everything we needed, it was private and quiet, we enjoyed the creek and starting a fire one night! We’ll be back to stay here if we make our way back to Kentucky!

60th Birthday Bourbon Tour
We celebrated my hubby’s 60th birthday by staying at this amazing property and hitting the bourbon trail❤️ We couldn’t have asked for a better place to rest while having coffee and get to watch a mommy bird feed her young and then see the take flight their first time🥰. Then sitting in the rockers overlooking the field in the back seeing the deer feed. The quaintness of the home was perfect and the location just right to travel day trips! Can’t wait to come back!

Family trip
Decided to rent this cabin with my 2 brothers so we would have a place to stay near taylorsville lake while we fished for 3 days. We were skeptical at first as you are when u rent something without seeing it. When we pulled up to the cabin, we knew we had made the right choice. This place was amazing. Took us back in time and whe made such memories there that we will never forget. Would like to come back sometime this year with my wife to get away from the hustle and bustle of life. It's just a great place.
